Many MLB players to use pink bats on Mother's day
UMFan83 replied to Jon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Walker, Barrett, Jones and Pierre all ordered pink bats for Sunday according to Comcast -
Exactly. People still show up and nothing will change. If they start getting 15K people to show up at the games, believe me, things will change. myth. Cut the Tribunes gate revenues by 58% and see if things don't chance

If these new mechanics cause Wood to become a better pitcher, its going to be unprecidented. Unprecidented as the first time the Cubs organization has ever benefited a pitcher.

Duane Kuiper i think. I like when Kuiper and Krukow call the games, I can sit back and pretend I'm playing MVP

Some people are too stupid to do math. So its easier if they designated it "Full innings.Outs from partial inning" Edit: Also, technically its easier then saying Cain 5.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333....

Thanks Fred :)
-
He's been a terrible hitter this year, just swinging at everything that comes towards the plate.
-
Leave and never come back from that gas station. We'll stop by and thank you on the way to the world series victory parade.

Whats that .261 thing next to Jocks name? Are they putting his OBP up there instead of his BA? JOCK, OMG I DONT HATE YOU THAT MUCH ANYMORE (BUT STILL SOME) Edit: Wait just remembered 3 year deal.
-
JOCK TIME!

Right field sucks! Right field sucks! Says the man sitting in the UDR seats! I'll take 518 and 523 over the bleachers on most days. 527 is nice, too. What was Z's batting average last year, and why did he bunt with 1 out? Z hit .300 last year. And I certainly like UDR over ANY Terrace Reserve seat.
-
you know we're sitting in left, correct? Uhhh...I've never sat in left in my life. Not gonna start.

Jock is starting to not suck as much. Except for his stupid play in the field. I might remain neutral if I'm in the RF bleachers next week
-
Z's WHIP has not been helped by this start...
-
he can't hear you. unless... is Z a poster on this board? Why do you think Z has carpel tunnel. Yanr = Carlos Zambrano. He was banned obviously, but he still reads the board obsessively.

Man we're so one dimentional. 67% of our runs have been scored via the HR. We needs more small ball
-
Weeks worth of runs

I heard Jim Edmonds is one of the players that has chosen to use the pink bats. No word on whether he is really doing this for the cause, or whether he is taking this opportunity to use a pink bat in a game. I kid I kid That is really nice of Jim to support the cause -
By the way what is worse: WAAAAY Overpaying for a guy hitting .219/.324/.273/.597 with 8 SB Or way overpaying (in prospects) for a guy hitting .230/.275/.300/.575 with 11 SB, because you couldn't sign the other guy. Looks like so far, Hendry was in a lose lose situation regarding his quest for a leadoff guy
-
What trash did we get in return for Patterson again? Nate Spears has a .225/.329/.239/.568 line at Daytona! Well, excuse me while I clean up my drool. Yuck! The other player we got for Corey, Carlos Perez, has this line out of the Daytona bullpen... 13 IP, 26 H, 3 HR, 14 BB, 14 K, 10.38 ERA For those scoring at home, that's a 3.08 WHIP. Sadly, we RAVAGED the O's in that deal
-
It won't be because the fans are booing. It will because Hendry lowballed another FA and watched him go to another team.
-
Last night, the Red Sox scored 14 runs. It took the Cubs their previous 11 games to score 14 runs. Wow
-
You have evidence that the added seats haven't contributed to player expenses and won't? And internet broadcasts? I really don't know where you're referring to there. Let's not forget that the Trib will be paying the $40+ million bill on the Wrigley Field campus renovations and will not take any of that money out of the Cubs' payroll. Do we have proof? Besides that the payroll has dropped since last season. $40 million is nothing when its offset by 2,000 more seats sold per game, not to mention selling the naming rights to the bleachers, dropping payroll, Cubs garage sales, and raising ticket prices.
