    This will forever be known as the Mark DeRosa game.
  2. UMFan83
    Wow this is the first game Marquis has pitched this year where he actually looks good. He's had decent numbers in a couple of other starts, but more or less hasn't pitched all that well in those games. Now Lou will probably leave him in too long and he will give up the lead in the 7th or 8th inning.
  3. UMFan83
    Am I reading that right? 0 BB's by Marquis today? Should that be a 10 in there?
  4. UMFan83
    Are you trying to tell me that Josh Vitters 4 games played at high A this year aren't acceptable to you? Cmon he put up a .214/.214/.429 line!
  5. UMFan83
    I think Soto is starting to turn it around. He's not getting the solid contact and line drives yet, but in the past week I've noticed that he's gone back to being more patient. That last AB was pretty good.
  6. UMFan83
    Is Theriot the only regular hitting over .300 now? Geez.

    Alright, a walk will help Lee's Sorianoesque OBP
  8. UMFan83
    I wish Andruw Jones was playing in this series.
  9. UMFan83
    Dammit when I saw the bobble, I assumed Soriano would be safe.
  10. UMFan83
    That .426 OBP looks awesome. I definitely think at this point and time he should be the starting catcher in the AS Game over Soto. McCann too.
  11. UMFan83
    Pierre scraps his way to a run. Sucks that it will be unearned though.
  12. UMFan83
    Good to see the Cubs have shorn up those fundamental problems they were having. I think Lou should schedule a practice tomorrow at Wrigley to work on fundamentals.
  13. UMFan83
    And yet the ball has beaten the runner 8 of those times.
  14. UMFan83
    I'm prepared, but I'll still be pissed off when it happens. I predict Single Walk Lineout Walk Single on an 0-2 pitch, 2 runs score. GIDP on a great play from Lee.
  15. UMFan83
    A not worthwhile enough result to compensate for Lou's further security of the hit and run being an appropriate tactic 3 times every game.

    Man do I hate Jon Miller's gross overpronounciations. Aramees Ramirez Neifi Pear-ez

    UMFan fears success, we'll be 30 games over 500 in September and he'll be talking about it's not a team that can win in the playoffs. Seriously. The Cubs and Cards have played the same amount of home games. The Brewers are well on their way to being 13-20 on the road. I do fear success. My problem is I don't have perspective....sorry for the pessimism guys. I've tried to change it, but I've realized that its who I am and I've embraced it. :)
  18. UMFan83
    Yup, and due to a heavy home schedule and good home field advantage, we've been able to build up a lead. Now we are going on the road more, and things will eventually even out. I hope I'm wrong, and I know that we're better than we've been in most years. But I don't think we are the unquestioned best team in the NL. Also, I predict the Dodgers make the playoffs this year if they can get one impact bat (which I realize isn't easy). Their pitching is really freaking good.
  19. UMFan83
    Funny thing about the 2007 Brewers...they built up their record on a heavy home schedule with lots of sub .500 teams. Wonder if a similar thing will happen to this years Cubs if they prove that they can't win on the road consistantly like they have so far.
  20. UMFan83
    Maybe he wants to get released? I would find a better way to go about it though.
  21. UMFan83
    Looks like Collins isn't coming back afterall... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080606-chicago-bulls-doug-collins,1,1622480.story

    Foxsports.com did a nice piece on Soto today, talking about how he went from marginal prospect to leading All Star votegetting Catcher with help from.....Koyie Hill?!?! Slump or not, its good to see the emergence of someone from the Cubs farm system. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8216254/Soto-does-it-all-for-Cubs
  23. UMFan83
    FWIW, Bigbird at OH.com is saying that Roberts to the Bulls for the number 1 pick and Luol Deng is a done deal.
  24. UMFan83
    Slump watch: Derrek Lee: .220/.255/.376/.631 over his past 33 games Geovany Soto: .204/.290/.398/.688 over his past 27 games Concerning because both players have been slumping at that rate for around 15-20% of the season Surge watch: Ryan Theriot: .444/.535/.472/1.007 over his last 10 games Aramis Ramirez: .338/.445/.559/1.004 over his last 40 games
  25. UMFan83
    Win 1 of the next 3 and we secure our second winning road trip of the year!
