Windows are never closed!!! I'm sure I'll need the stocking cap and gloves again Sunday though...for 14 innings! We'll be getting back to the 70s by mid-week! Keep up the hope!

Is VORP a good stat to use for pitchers? Because last year he was 34th in the league. Depends on which VORP you use. The old one is much more favorable toward relievers. BP revised this stat and changed the weights for SPs and RPs.

Out of curiosity...what exactly has Theriot proven to all of us so far?

He has the excuse of massively playing out of position.

He strikes me as a future streak hitter. If he can be a little more like Soriano and a little less like Jacque Jones, that'd be welcome.

I'd like to know why Lou thinks having Theriot at SS and Cedeno at 2B makes sense.

In all fairness, righties do slightly better against him than lefties.

Meaning you want the offense to go flying off the rails and crash horrifically? I think they've already accomplished that. :D

Scrappy McHustlington draws a walk.

Undo the pony tail, poof up the afro, and throw a bone in there...yeah, he could pull it off. That would pretty much get it done, but is there a way we could have Tyrus Thomas get hit in the face with a neverending field of rakes instead of Joakim? I'd prefer to see that happen to Ben Wallace...but that's me.

"When they ask you what you did this weekend, what will you say?" "I drank Busch Light!"

Undo the pony tail, poof up the afro, and throw a bone in there...yeah, he could pull it off. I'm thinking a bases clearing double is coming here.

Holy CRAP that was an awesome throw from Soriano.

At least we have the Bulls! (I don't care about the White Sox, though.) Oh... As long as they lose, I'm happy. They need Brook Lopez, especially if they can find a way to get him to pretend Joakim Noah is actually his brother Robin.

I think Soriano skipped to that flyout.

Is it me or do the Cubs seem to suck more than usual against the Phillies every time they play?

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat. Friggin' Fleas.

I was waiting for Victorino to mis-time his leap.

Toss him! Toss him!!!!

Take a bad route on it and fall as you catch it? Bad route? He was running in a straight line the entire time. He didn't get an immediate break on the ball.

No Bob, the real MVP of this team is in the on-deck circle.

Take a bad route on it and fall as you catch it?

Ronny Cedeno: Multi-million dollar talent, ten cent brain.

beat you I feel like Brett Myers' wife. :(
