Yay for trailing in every game this season! -
I'm not watching the game. Is Hill "settling in" right now, or is he still rather erratic?
-
Took Fukudome 4 games for him to clearly become the best player on the team (I'm kidding...I think..)
-
C'mon Tigers, cut this crap out. The last thing we need is the White Sox gaining momentum early in the season. Every time the Sox go on a run, I start to have flashbacks to 2005 when they inexplicably started winning and never stopped.

Well, he's right, if we didn't have Jones in either RF or CF, there would be no one there to catch the flyballs. I mean, Soriano's fast, but he's not that fast. I guess they could have put that Cliff Floyd guy in there. Or Matt Murton even.

While I agree that the rotation could be an issue, I dont know how you get that from the first 3 games. Z and Demp both had very solid outings, and while Lilly was horrible, I doubt hed be the one replaced if it came to it. I would however go for a pitcher, as Marquis is sure to implode around that time regardless of how he does the first few months. I meant more or less that I think the offense will be fine. The end result (runs) wasn't there, but I saw enough from the guys I had questions about (Soto, Pie, Fukudome) to tell me we will be fine on offense.
-
Harden. I could be wrong but after the first few games of the season, I think the rotation will be a bigger issue than the offense come July. If Harden is still healthy in July, I think he's your best bet.

If Cubs can't win division, who would you rather have win?
UMFan83 replied to apete6's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Pirates Brewers Reds Astros Cardinals I don't hate the Brewers other than for divisional competition purposes. -
I wonder how Lou will configure the lineup with Reed Johnson in there. Will he just hit Pie 8th? Or will he go with his lefty lineup that he made up in Spring? Is that lineup still applicable now that Lou has given up on the Soriano down in the order experiment? IIRC, Lou said this would be the lineup vs. Lefties: Johnson Fukudome Lee Ramirez Soriano DeRosa Soto Theriot

It's April. We'll get our chances to knock around the Giants and catch back up if we falter this weekend.

GRRR No. Saturday's game will be the first I get to watch on TV all year...it doesn't even feel like its baseball season yet to me because I haven't got to watch any games.
-
Hope you guys weren't among the 10-15k fans that boo'd Kerry on Monday.
-
Yup, thats kinda his thing.
-
Thats 4 walks in 3 games for our number 5 hitter. If our 5 hitter is this adept at getting on base, then our 1-2 hitters must be amazing!
-
Demp thats a funny Bush impression but stop.
-
Kendall...
-
So ignoring Dempsters ab because hes a pitcher. The 4 runners in the inning were caused by walks, and the 2 other outs in the inning were caused by the hitters being extra aggressive and swinging early in the count.
-
Pretty sad when you pay a guy $138 million and you have no confidence in him to get runners home with the bases loaded and 2 outs
-
I have this feeling Soriano will go against everything expected and go yard here
-
Something tells me Reed Johnson will be in CF tomorrow.
-
Wow horrible. Now comes Demp and Sori's K's
-
Crap our most dreaded situation....bases loaded 0 outs. You know what's going to happen. Lix K Demp K Soriano K
-
Me too....the 9-1-2 is the dreaded part of the lineup.
