    Well there is a start! HR #88 on the year for the Cubs, which moves us to 22nd in baseball and 12th in the NL
  2. UMFan83
    Where is the damn power. Seriously, I'm getting sick of the Cubs not having an answer for this. Don't we have hitting coaches. I know it would not be in their best interest to work on them hitting HRs, but this is getting pathetic. We have 3 hitters in their prime that have 40 HR power.
  3. UMFan83
    Are you assuming we see 9 batters this inning?
  4. UMFan83
    yea but the team didnt need any upgrade at the deadline Well its probably a combo of the team cooling off and the competition getting better than it was. I'm not upset their performance per say, but if the Brewers get hot, or this becomes prolonged, we could be toast. As long as we are within 3 games by the time we play the Brewers next, I won't get too bent out of shape about things.

    If the Cubs lose this one, they will be 6-7 in their last 13 games.
  6. UMFan83
    This might be the one time Z was to get a no hitter and he won't be able to stay in the game long enough to enjoy it.

    And here is a link, also posted in the main forum http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2960193

    Is suspended for 80 games now: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2960193 Sorry I couldn't find the old post for it.

    Neifi failed a stimulants test for the third time and will be suspended 80 games!

    I don't get it at all. There's no reasonable explanation for his power outage. Maybe he's hiding an injury or the injury to his knees is affecting his power

    When's the last time Floyd homered? June 26th. A span of 17 games played for him.
  12. UMFan83
    Aramis has hit 1 HR in his last 29 games
  13. UMFan83
    Full Count 55 ABs 26 BBs 23 Ks .291/.512/.400 .912 OPS :) Wow...only 6 times did he get to a full count and put the ball in play? ......

    Full Count 55 ABs 26 BBs 23 Ks .291/.512/.400 .912 OPS :) 23 Ks in 55 ABs does seem like a lot, but I guess when you already have 2 strikes on you, thats probably normal to K 42% of the time, especially being a supposed power hitter.

    This game looks to be a offensive struggle
  16. UMFan83
    He started to get rocked in his last start against St. Louis. 5 IP 4 ER
  17. UMFan83
    STL (Wells) @ WAS (Redding) COL (Francis) @ ATL (Smoltz) PHI (Kendrick) @ MIL (Gallardo) - uh oh, better win today Cubs SFO (Cain) @ SDG (Maddux) ARI (Davis) @ LAD (Billingsley) Go Nats, Rocks, Phils, Giants, and DBacks!

    How quickly did the tickets go before being sold out? If I were to open like 70 windows like I did for regular season tickets, would I be likely to get tickets?
  19. UMFan83
    Everyone knows that Kerry Wood will be activated tomorrow. The question is whose 25 man spot will he take, and more importantly, whose 40 man spot will he take since he is on the 60 day DL. Guesses?
  20. UMFan83
    comments on the game.. where is the power? this was a great day to hit HRs and the Cubs hit not one. What the heck is wrong with this teams power? the rotation is really starting to worry me. Other than Z and maybe Lilly, what other starter do you really expect good things from when they pitch? Our offense isn't good enough to compensate for mediocre starting pitching.
  21. UMFan83
    And Marquis's overpriced contract just disappears? Santana uses his superpowers to turn back time to before Hendry agreed to the contract, then goes forward again and plays for the Cubs. And after having a major hole in the Cubs rotation that the Cubs attempted to fill disastrously with Mike Maroth, the Cubs finish 7 games behind the brewers in the NL Central in 2007

    because we have been playing .500 baseball with our current roster for the last 2 months? It was a hot streak. It got them back into contention, but to think they will sustain +.650 baseball the rest of the year is really pushing it. They havent even been over 8 games above .500 The team has to many weaknesses to sustain playing at that level for a 2-3 month timeframe. Most good teams play .500 ball for long stretches of the season. It's hot streaks that get good teams into the playoffs. The Cubs have had 1.5 hot streaks this season. With their easy schedule, they are due for 1-2 more. It's not like we are over our heads. We are actually playing 4 games worse than our Pythagorean record suggests. Thank you...and that's coming from a guy (UMFan) who predicted the Cubs to win, what, 82 games at best? 78 :), but I seriously undervalued our starting pitching, which you have to admit is better than anyone could have predicted. Our offense is playing about exactly where I predicted it.

    They will be eligible for the playoff roster if acquired before August 31st

    Soriano, Jones, Floyd isn't that bad on paper if you look at their last healthy seasons. jones last healthy season is the current one, and he's been terrible. I'm talking about going into the season. The comment was about Hendry buildinga a good OF. If you look at their last healthy seasons before this one, it looks pretty good on paper, defense and OBP ignored.
