What's this? Do the Cubs hold off selling the front row bleacher seats until a few hours before the game? Is this for every game? That's interesting ... No, the bleachers are General Admission, so he wants to get there early so he can get a good seat before someone else takes it. -
Him and Kosuke will have to fight for that number when Rhee joins the club in August.
-
I'm always partial to record for least pitches in an inning (3). This record is held by several people
-
The forums should be "Cubs Discussions" and "General Baseball Discussions"

And considering all the hits he had in the first home stand that could have been doubles and homers were wind aided outs. Impressive.

Nothing special, but not bad either. I don't see how that furthers either argument with such a small sample size. you're right it's nothing special because it's bad. Ryan Theriot bad. Sample size. 18 at bats. If one of his 4 singles in 18 ABs turned into a double his OPS goes up 55 points. That said, as we know, his career stats against RHs suck so obviously its an issue.

I was waiting for someone to post this.

BTW, am I the only one that doesn't really give a crap about Dusty Baker coming back? It's not like I don't hate the man like everyone else, it's just that I don't care. Once he left the Cubs, I could care less what he does.

Well, lets put it this way, when I get there about 3 hours before game time there is usually already a short line started. And that's for day games. I'd suggest at least an hour and a half-two hours. But that's just a complete guess, really. So in other words - your tentative plan sounds great, you're pretty much assured a front row seat. Nah, night games are not that bad for the bleachers. Everyone is coming from work and doesn't get to the park before 6-6:30. I usually show up an hour before the game and get close seats. As long as your not in a large group you should be fine showing up an hour before. If you get in line at 4, you'll probably get the same seats as you would if you got in there at 5:30-6:00

Sabremetrics vs. Intangibles: Which do you value more?
UMFan83 replied to chuckywang's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think this was the wrong message board to ask this question if you wanted debate from both sides. -
Hopefully Kosuke can figure some things out and get hot again. I'm not worried because obviously there is an adjustment period once pitchers find a way to pitch to you, but .214/.333/.214/.547 over the last 7 games is blah. His OPS for the year dipped under .900 after yesterday's performance. It's not so much I'm worried about his hitting overall, but I'm worried in the long run about his power. Doesn't seem to get too many line drives at all. I think I read somewhere after his first week that his LD% was really low compared to his slg %, and that being a huge indicator of a big drop off. Obviously no one expected him to slug .700 for the year, and I'm probably going to look like a fool when he adjusts and picks it up a bit, but right now I'm a tad worried.

Remember when Marquis miraculously had an awesome Team W-L on days that he pitched, despite mediocre numbers? Well he's 2-0 this year...
-
Take that stupid crap somewhere else! Go. Reds. Let me go to Redszone.com and post Go Cubs and see how people react.
-
I am glad we won, but I have no desire to see any highlights or think or hear about this game anymore. Onto the Masters.
-
Holy Hell, thank god theres an offday tomorrow.
-
I don't like the winning run on first base for Scrapper McScrapperton (the Japanese Ryan Theriot)
-
How did he not catch that?
-
OK, I know I've said this like 4 times...but Utley wants vengance for his error.
-
Howry is throwing a lot of fastballs over the plate, and Werth is fouling them all off.
-
Damn you Werth...eventually Bob will throw a ball.
-
Please don't make Utley the winning run.
-
Yay!

Who cares ? I do. Not sure if you live in Chicago, but 2005 was unbearable for me and I would do anything to avoid having to deal with it again. I don't really care what they do as long as they don't look like World Series contenders. They aren't. Yes, but starting out 7-4 starts to put seeds of doubt into my head.
