    Dress up in a superhero costume and go out in public?
  2. UMFan83
    Yay now Dempster and Soriano will end the inning.
  3. UMFan83
    We do! We just never hit them 1 or 2. That...was my...joke..
  4. UMFan83
    I wish we had a player that could work counts and get on base at a high percentage so we could put him at 1 or 2 in the order. Too bad. Oh well, that hacker/slugger Kosuke Fukudome due up 2nd next innings.
  5. UMFan83
    I bet the "its too cold to hit" excuses come out after today's game.
  6. UMFan83
    I can't stand Soriano even when he randomly does well.
  7. UMFan83
    Predict when our first lead of the season will be.... I say Sunday.
  8. UMFan83
    Maybe he'll do like he does as a closer and load the bases with 0 outs and then get out of it unscathed.
  9. UMFan83
    Sweet, I can focus on work now. Thanks!

    For the record, Wrigley Field is 1 for 2 in sellouts this year. And 100% of the games were between rivals that are 90 miles apart.

    Are the Nats planning on repeating their 2005 performance? Up 5-0 on the Phillies and threatening again..

    This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Take the best kick and punt returner of all time, and have him return kicks and punts less! Amazing! The only argument that would make me agree with this move is this: Hester's career path as it is, is clearly laid out. He is going to be a dynamic kick and punt returner. Eventually he is going to take one big hit too many and get injured. If he suffers any sort of injury that effects his speed, he will become just an above average KR/PR. I love the Devin Hester era, but lets be honest, how many years of amazing special teams play do we expect out of him? 2....3 more years? And don't be ignorant Bears fans, a fast shifty guy like Hester will get hurt returning kicks, and probably sooner than later. When your a little guy like Hester and your goal is to run full speed past 11 bigger guys 100 times a season, something will eventually give.

    Fecal League Standings CUBS 0-2 -- Tigers 0-2 -- Phillies 0-2 -- White Sox 0-2 -- Athletics 1-3 -- Braves 1-2 0.5 Astros 1-2 0.5 Rangers 1-2 0.5 Marlins 1-2 0.5 Giants 1-2 0.5 Twins 1-2 0.5

    fixed
  15. UMFan83
    I'll go for sure! Ryno back at Wrigley should be enough to draw 20k
  16. UMFan83
    BTW, suggestion. We should have these threads in the Game Threads forum. That way when we want to look back on a past "postgame thread" we can find them easier
  17. UMFan83
    I'm at the point where just let the big baby hit 1st, but please for the love of God have either KFuk or DeRosa hitting second. They are 2 of the only 3 players (Lee being the other) that has a clue of how to approach a majority of their ABs.
  18. UMFan83
    But since you requested for one postgame thread, something thats taken 6 years to finally accomplish, I would like to talk about the following topics: 1. Lilly's start 2. Soriano's play 3. Kendall burning the Cubs 4. No one trying to run on Kendall 5. KFuk and ARam's botched hit and run 6. The fan response at Wrigley to the game 7. How annoying Brewers fans are 8. Why Howry sucks early in the season 9. Why haven't the Cubs worn the blue jerseys yet
  19. UMFan83
    Your not a mod!

    Please, please try not to be absurd. I appreciate the sentiments wolf, but I came into this season doubting that. How are we so amazingly talented? Just because every TV baseball person says it doesn't mean its true. Yeah I'm not getting it either. We have some good players and some really bad ones too. I never agreed with the predictions being heaped on us from the beginning. We've always had a very solid chance of being unseated by the Brewers. That was true until the final couple days of last season, and it remains true now. It should be decent ballclub. I don't see greatness here, on the whole. They should still be able to match last seasons win total and maybe flirt with 90. Which basically is what you said. Yes, thats exactly what I was saying. Except, the team on paper feels like an 83-85 win team. Obviously Hendry will make a move at some point, but who knows if said move will actually improve the club.
  21. UMFan83
    Oh great even better. How about Soriano, the $136 million idiot who can only hit leadoff even though he has no skills typical of a leadoff hitter Fukudome, teams best OBP guy Lee Ramirez etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc Pie Pitcher Neifi Perez the Pope Hitler Barry Bonds Ryan Theriot

    The 2004 Cardinals started the season 10-11, and went on to win 105 games. Huh? When did I say a slow start dooms you. I said we never get off to great starts. Huh? I'm saying what does my comment have to do with the Cardinals start in 2005.
