    We should be like 1-2 games out of the Wild Card, instead Houston is going to lap us and by 5-7 games up the next time we face them
  2. UMFan83
    Its a WHIP parade the last 2 games
  3. UMFan83
    All we need are a couple of solo HRs

    Williams is looking like he'll pitch well enough to keep the Cubs in the game, but not well enough to slam the door on the Diamondbacks. So, the usual. For a 4th or 5th starter, I'd like a guy consistant enough to allow the other team to get 2-4 runs in 6-7 innings

    Famine
  6. UMFan83
    Yay (lack of) offense!
  7. UMFan83
    Only 2 runs scored :(

    How is it the umpire has gone from calling nothing strikes to everything strikes?

    Nolan, I see lots of White Sox Suck shirts being sold around Wrigley, but as you said not in the magnitude as you would see at the Cell

    Whose lazy now?

    Thank you for an educated opinion. I truly appreciated it!! It didn't have to be this difficult..... :) You didn't need to "push" us to respond how you wanted us to. That's the flow of the board, you will get a couple of light hearted responses but eventually you will get what you are looking for. Anyways, like CPatterson said, Sox fans are second class and mostly jealous of the attention we get. Even when they are winning, they seem to take just as much pride in a Cubs loss as a White Sox win. More power to 'em.

    It's interesting, but it seems like he is trying not to step on any toes in case an MLB team comes calling for him again.

    Gerut is the new Rey Rnez
  14. UMFan83
    Thanks Latroy, 2 games down, about 20 more until we are even :)
  15. UMFan83
    Frustrating game.
  16. UMFan83
    The thing I love is now that 0-fer-Gerut is on the team, he has passed up Murton on the PH depth charts too. Maybe we should make a backdoor agreement to "loan" Cedeno and Murton from us to play for like 1/2 the season and then trade them back to the Cubs next July as grizzled veterans.

    Only one problem. In St. Louis, Washington St. is a small insignifigant road on the NW side of the city. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&location=cMpJu7lkVtdhcJOsEqPzNilwnR9KZ7YeYYupjN1xGRGmhS%2bXOVbQ45rEQHFpTF4FA%2fs57WsjBVR1TyCT6j0jPO6a5coSzUMLFe5mX4QL0X92ifr4aOb%2bW9kWATE3W9A4VxnZKN0ecSsAQlSmtEzMfYD3cEkLGMF6 Unless he was talking about Washington St. in Chicago.

    Is there a difference between scoring a lot of runs and having a consistant lineup? I think so. IIRC, the White Sox had a similar offense to ours last year, lots of HRs, feast or famine type offense that drives you mad. The additions they made might have called for less runs, but when you have people that can get on base at a .360+ clip, you are bound to consistantly score at least 3-4 runs a game.

    At tonights game, I happened to glance over at the famous ACXXXXXX sign over in RF. I noticed that it now read AC026097. Earlier in the year, it clearly read AC016097 (confirmed: http://community.webshots.com/photo/366959130/366959130OSzxFp ). There is only one reasoning for this, they have given up on the division and are making a point apparently. Anyone else confirm this, and anyone think they are jumping the gun a bit? Anyone think this is a pointless thread ;)?

    Just wanted to note that I saw Nomar after tonights (7/25) game. He came out and looked like he was walking well. He took his equipment bags and packed him in his car, presumably to goto Peoria. He even took about 5 minutes to come and sign autographs for the fans waiting for players on the other side of the wall. Class act. Edit: To add on, I feel bad for Novoa, everyone but me thought he was Lee when he came out. Also, only about four people, myself included, actually recognized Rich Hill. Oh well.
  21. UMFan83
    It's not really a "so-called LF platoon." It's the definition of a LF platoon. Murton plays against lefties and Hollandsworth plays against righties. I don't agree with it, but Dusty is right when he says it's a platoon. Maybe so, but I don't understand the reasoning considering Hollandsworth's numbers vs. Lefties and Righties are remarkably similar.
  22. UMFan83
    How about Matt Murton getting a start in your so-called LF platoon Dusty.....
  23. UMFan83
    Yeah I thought it was pretty weird. I almost thought Dusty was sternly talking to him about something in the game. With all we have heard about how JHJ has upset Cubs brass, and how we speculate JRJ's favor with Dusty it seemed weird for him to be pulling Jerry aside and talking to him immediately following a win. I was at ESPNZone with no audio so I couldn't hear anything

    It's hard seeing a Cardinals fan post in this thread after a devistating loss, even if that person is respected by me as a poster and the post was equally respectful. Don't take it the wrong way though :)
  25. UMFan83
    Besides I like this quote too: How did Rich Hill become the top pitching prospect in the minors? Shouldn't players like Felix Hernandez be a bit worried about this? Edit: Not that I mind things like this being thrown around, it can only help. Rich Hill for Albert Pujols plz
