    Jacque has been playing terribly, but he has hit a lot of hard balls lately. A lot of warning track outs (on hard hit balls), and plus the one last night where Lamb just robbed him. I'm not justifying his play because he has sucked, but I'd bet his BABIP is pretty low recently. The reason why he is playing so much is because Lou hopes he gets hot enough to attract another team so he can be traded. Fair? no, but there is logic behind it.

    I already have Premium..... For those who already have premium, I'll offer a randomly selected autographed Cubs baseball card. Sweet, I hope I win a Scott Servais card

    Should I vote against a member who has actually been here longer than me just because he roots for a team I hate, but in a sport that is unrelated to the topic of this message board?

    I like Dobson a lot, but raw is one of my favorite posters on the board....

    When I think of Banedon, I think of consistency.
  8. UMFan83
    Judging my vote based off of how many times Len has mentioned each poster by name during Cubs broadcasts.

    Not that I am pulling for the Reds guy, but his name does contain the number 44 in it...a hommage to NSBB great Adam Dunn.

    Well, Edgar did say he didn't really have a problem with getting hit, he had a problem with the ball being up at his head. A justifiable stance. Then again, Hudson's pitch was up near Soriano's head. Sure, and that is a legitimate gripe. But I don't think his response was justifiable. I think he got his retaliation when Lilly got ejected. The act of clobbering our AAA callup in the face with his forearm was uncalled for and almost malicious. Even a hard takeout slide would be acceptable, but to slide away from the base with your arm in the air trying to make contact with the face of another player is uncalled for. Like you said, the pitch to Soriano was near the head as well (although not as close) and all Soriano did was run to first, and then have a quick word with Hudson later in the game. Furthermore, the thing that aggrivates me is that this whole thing started ( most likely unless there was something else that we didnt hear about) by Soriano hitting 3 HRs. That is a stupid reason to intentionally hit someone.

    I'm sorry, but I hate this guy right now. Lets assume that Lilly's pitch was intentional, which I don't think it was. The pitcher was already punished by being ejected first of all, and second of all, the pitch was retaliation for Hudson hitting Soriano yesterday. Why did he hit Soriano? BECAUSE HE HIT THREE HOME RUNS THE NIGHT BEFORE. So anyways, since Soriano went and attacked Kelly Johnson on Saturday, Edgar naturally decides to clobber Fontenot in retaliation. Oh wait, whats that you say? Soriano did NOTHING after getting plunked in the back? Wait you just randomly decided that Lilly getting ejected wasn't retaliation enough and you had to clobber our AAA callup to teach us a lesson? Maybe if your starting pitcher didn't SUCK so much, Soriano wouldn't be able to hit 3 HRs. But instead you cost us a game in the standings, and possibly 2 if we need to use a lot of the bullpen tonight. Edgar you suck. I wish the Indians won the World Series in 1997. You don't deserve the honor of having a World Series winning hit. You are a classless player that deserves some punishment for your actions. Sorry, this can be moved to rants in a little while.

    If Zambrano doesn't have a good start and the bullpen needs to come in, the price for Soriano hitting 3 home runs on Friday will be 2 games.
  14. UMFan83
    Its the umps that blew this game. Unbelievable 14 IP from the bullpen the last 2 games and we still have like 7 more games in a row to play
  15. UMFan83
    i'm really pissed it wasn't z. Z might have gone to jail for a long time if he was apart of that incident
  16. UMFan83
    that forearm is on espn sunday night baseball, plenty of people are watching, he'll be suspended at least 2 games, book it. You mean Fontenot will be suspended for 2 games for ramming his head into Renteria's forearm?
  17. UMFan83
    DEROSA THREW THE BALL ACROSS THE FIELD RIGHT AT ANDRUW JONES, THROW HIM OUT!!!
  18. UMFan83
    Edgar you are a worthless slimeball. I wish Cleveland won the world series in 1997
  19. UMFan83
    Lesson learned guys. Don't hit 3 home runs in a game otherwise you will get balls thrown at you in the next game and your starting pitching will be ejected for throwing on the inner half of the plate the next. C'mon, head in the game Sori
  20. UMFan83
    Yay for series splits! Damn, Lilly looked like he had great stuff tonight. Why doesn't Edgar get tossed for walking towards the mound??
  21. UMFan83
    They are now showing commercials promoting this 5 in 5 thing

    I'm guessing Sean's dad is not roaming the boards during his sons first appearence
  23. UMFan83
    C'mon Sean, don't walk the pitcher!
  24. UMFan83

  25. UMFan83
