  1. ARam homer might be our only chance at all for a run.
  2. Haha, Nats announcer: "Dimitri was guarding the line, that's why he couldn't get there." Or maybe it's the extra hundred Big Macs.
  3. How many weak grounders are we going to hit tonight?
  4. Looked like a nicely placed fastball outside. But his curve is junk so far, it's only a matter of time unless he finds it.
  5. It's 18, counting the scoreless innings in the 3-1 win I believe.
  6. No, but as long as he's going to take a vacation at the plate Lou figured might as well make it official.
  7. Marshall's curve is marginal early. Hope he continues to get away with it, but I fear he'll eventually get pounded.
  8. That's 15 straight scoreless innings for the Cubs. This offense has completely fallen off the table.
  9. Ahh that Lou. Nice one! You had us going for awhile. Now what's the real lineup?
  10. Come on, that has to be joke or something. We've got a 50/50 chance of even plating 2 runs with that lineup.
  11. I'm hoping it's just the Brewers. They have a horrid record in PNC park, for whatever reason. I trust ours is at least a little better, though I haven't looked it up. Uecker was talking about how terrible it's been for the Crew in PNC yesterday. Looks like they lived up to it. Lose 3/4 to the Pirates, wow.
  12. They'll ruin him one way or the other. It's got to be nigh impossible for an organization to have all duds at every position for 20 years in the minors. The probability of missing on every single draft pick since Grace has to be nearly nil. They've got to be teaching the wrong things, ruining players. At this point I have one sage piece of advice for every kid we just drafted: ignore everything the coaches tell you, if you know what's good for you.
  13. Ding, you win I think it's in a little better shape than you are making it out to be. No...it's not. It's pathetic. Agreed. Seems terrible to me, position-player wise. All we have to show for ourselves at the moment are a couple of admittedly eager college prospects with pretty low ceilings and another "toolsy" CF who is, not suprisingly, floudering at the plate. Others we have recently tried out, such as Cedeno & Murton, seem to be close to tanking. And it's been this way for 20 years. I don't see how it could be classified as anything else other than bad. I look across the Illinois/Wisconsin border, and I see a farm system up there that makes us look like idiots.
  14. Quoted because every Cub fan is probably thinking the exact same thing :P
  15. Crew scores again on a Hardy single. 4-3 Pirates.
  16. I had no idea Corey Hart was this good. He's a freaking monster, man.
  17. Unfortunately, I believe you will be proven correct. While Truffle's probably right about a, I'm still holding out a little hope Hendry will find a way to bring in Salty. I can understand a) and c) But on b) -- how will soto get no chance when its Hendry keeping him out and Hendry's days with the Cubs are numbered?
  18. Bad for my fantasy team, but it's not like I'm going to do anything this year anyway. Rain delay anyways. Does it look like a long delay, or will it be starting soon? I hope it doesn't get canceled, because if it does then we will have to face Gorzelanny.
  19. Just whip out the JD and tell the Grizz Noah will be better than Deng in a few years?
  20. http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6990732 Holy freaking crap. Please God, let this be true. Gasol for Noc,Noah & Du?? The reporter at the Daily Herald made up that rumor. Darn media fabricators. Getting my blood pressure up fer nuttin'.
