    Well....he looked at strikes 1 and 2 as well. so? i don't see how that matters. reds pitchers walked what 4 cubs that inning, a very difficult task. I know. He's just struggling right now I don't know what it is. Doesn't look comfortable right now. But yeah I'm not going to get out the crucifix and nails or anything.
  2. Soul
    Well there's a bomb. Sure wish it was before with 2 on though.

    I'm frustrated by Lee right now too, but "clown"?

    it's the cardinal mystique. oh yeah, and 10 bucks says the astros finish in second. They are going to be 3.5 out after tonight. They could be in first by Monday or sooner. It's makes me flippin' sick! The Cardinals don't make me sick, they know how to play good baseball when it comes down to crunch time. It's the Cubs that me sick. Brewers and the Cubs let them back into this race. They bascially conceded at the trade dead-line. Yep. Wasn't hard to smell blood these past 2 weeks, and they've taken advantage.....because they still have enough ballplayers who know how to get it done down the stretch.

    It's our specialty to make bad pitchers look good.

    Along with the outfield, shortstop & 2B at times, catcher, various portions of the bullpen. It's a minor miracle we even made a run at this thing in the first place.

    More like 14-5. I'm starting to think this isn't going to be our year.
  9. Soul
    That was pretty poor by Lilly. Can't bunt now.

    Dunn is quite possibly the worst defensive outfielder in major league baseball, so that's not a suprise at all.

    Nicely done Fox, congrats.

    If we win the division I bet you'll recant the statement. I'd rather win the division and lose in the playoffs than not be in the playoffs. Me too. I remember warning everyone not to dismiss StL a couple weeks ago...
  13. Soul
    And stop losing, too.
  14. Soul
    For future reference: never dismiss StL, even when they're 8 1/2 back in July

    Because they're pretty much mediocre major leaguers.

    He came very close. The wind apparently likes to help Reds hitters, while refusing to assist our home runs in the bottom of the 9th. You sure this is our home park? 8-)
  17. Soul
    Don't worry, he'll remember he sucks as soon as the Reds take off from O'Hare.

    The eharmony commercials are really starting to piss me off.

    All class. Oh get off your high horse. I made no comment about his dad other than hoping he'd get better.
  20. Soul
    No, I'm not real nervous for tomorrow, at least not any more nervous than usual. I think some things really need to change in this offense, not just ARam returning, but at least a couple other bats will need to really turn the heat up or it's over.

    Release him now, get his ass out of Chicago, and take Pie, Marshall, Hill and Gallagher with him! To the cornfields now!!!!!! If we got rid of every player who had a slump we wouldn't be able to field a 25 man team. Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
  22. Soul
    if the worst case scenario has him putting up a .786 ops during a slump, where do i sign up? Combined with being one of the worst regular OF's in the game? I guess I have higher standards for $14M. I'm not saying I wouldn't want him under any circumstances and he is a pretty good bet to get you around an .850 OPS. However there are things that make me hesitant and I would want them to eat some of that money. If not, I'd rather go with Murton (and Jones if necessary) and allocate that $10-$13M to Z and a possible shot at A-Rod. again, defense is not our problem, our problem is OPS. burrell provides that. i'd take him in a second. Indeed, but if you needed proof that the Cubs are in 'no spend' mode because of the sale, you are seeing a fairly solid piece of evidence to that effect right here.

    If you could find a way to get me through waivers and on to the Brewers roster? Now there you might have something. They'd be doomed. 8-)

    Though it may look like some trades are done for no reason, I have found when you look at it there's almost always a reason, real or perceived, that a GM does it. I doubt many GMs would really do this -- just throw guys around basically in desperation ('cuz that's what it is) to change out players and hope for magic, no real reasoning or basis for the move.

    Amazing. Very nicely done.
