    Our run differential is going to take a huge hit after this one.
  2. UMFan83
    Ugh what a perfect time for a 10 game road trip. If we go 5-5 I'll be happy. 2/4 vs. SF, 2/3 vs. CWS, 1/3 vs. STL
  3. UMFan83
    If we lose this it will be 4-5 in our last 9. Not terrible, but not exactly where we want to be. Also, 3-7 vs. the AL East ugh
  4. UMFan83
    I think the injuries are taking a toll on us. Can't be missing your star OF, ace pitcher, platoon CF, and your most patient hitter and not expect to perform poorly.
  5. UMFan83
    Losing 2/3 from the Orioles at home is unacceptable IMO...but I guess it happens from time to time. Maybe we'll sweep the White Sox again..
  6. UMFan83
    I still hate Edmonds, but with increased expectations now, predict how his final numbers will look like. Off hand I think he is something like .238/.318/.419 for the year My guess .265/.335/.445
  7. UMFan83
    Yet we are 1-2 against said horrible teams ;)
  8. UMFan83
    Ramirez looked like the only acceptable outcome for his last 2 ABs would be a Home Run.
  9. UMFan83
    Not sure if anyone talked about this earlier in the game thread, but I heard on WGN 720 Pregame that Lou said that he will no longer lift Edmonds when he is up against a LHP. Does that worry anyone here? It makes me worry that Reed Johnson's days as a solid platoon partner are over.

    HES BACK!!!!!!!

    Don't know if its just me but Marmol has looked a lot more confident after getting that K
  12. UMFan83
    I think he was told to stop throwing so hard and take a little off his pitches to maintain his command. That's just my guess.
  13. UMFan83
    OK Marmol is throwing strikes somewhat consistantly. Can we all stop freaking out and pretend this is the Marmol we all knew a week ago?
  14. UMFan83
    Crap, so much for that hitless streak thing.
  15. UMFan83
    Derrek Lee and DPs are like _____________________________ Finish the simily
  16. UMFan83
    As long as he doesn't pull a Tampa Don't you remember his performance against the White Sox? He hasn't been getting hit, but come on. His control has been Ankielesque recently. He looked better yesterday, but still. I'm just saying....1 run lead: worried. 3 run lead: he's still unhittable. Actually I was more commenting on how amazing it is that Marmol is in the middle of a "super slump" by his standards, and yet hes on a 7 appearence hitless streak.
  17. UMFan83
    I think Mike Greenberg is. Edit: Maybe not. He was born in NY. He might have a soft spot for them though because I listen occasionally and he seems excited to talk about the Cubs.
  18. UMFan83
    Marmol hasn't given up a HIT in his last 7 appearences. As long as he doesn't pull a Tampa, he'll be fine.
  19. UMFan83
    Wanna make a bet?
  20. UMFan83
    That reminds me of last night except we're winning, its the 6th inning, and only the first 2 hitters reached
  21. UMFan83
    Good catch 7-16 lifetime, 3B, HR and a .438/.444/.750 line.
  22. UMFan83
    And of course we can't get it done.
  23. UMFan83
    Also I forgot to mention, he seems to be fine hitting off the bench, getting sporatic ABs and starts. That's valuable and puts him ahead of Cedeno in my mind. As I say that Fontenot makes a boneheaded play and should have scored!!!!
  24. UMFan83
    I hated Fontenot earlier this year, but I like him now. Takes walks at a decent rate, hits for some power. If only he could play SS and have decent range.
  25. UMFan83
    I'm so glad the Cubs are rumored to be after a top of the rotation starter, because we can't have Lilly in the playoffs as our number 2 stater again. What if he pitches at Wrigley with the wind blowing out?
