  1. I'm to the point now where if we just don't make a stupid baserunning mistake it will be a relief, even if we don't score.
  2. Time for everyone to shut up about Soriano in left. It's where he belongs. Thanks.
  3. The baserunning this year has been terrible.
  4. OK, but his stuff looks very ordinary to me. Maybe he can stick around for a little while and experience some sort of success, but I don't think he throws a plus pitch. He throws a plus slider. ------------------ Good to see them get out of that jam. Doesn't look plus to me. Looks like a regular slider.
  5. Umm, this is one regular season game. I'd get studying if I were you...
  6. OK, but his stuff looks very ordinary to me. Maybe he can stick around for a little while and experience some sort of success, but I don't think he throws a plus pitch.
  7. He needs to go to Ohman because Wuertz can't hit the broad side of a barn. Wuertz can handle being pulled just fine. What, are you suggesting he's too fragile emotionally to handle the basic facts of life of a reliever?
  8. To those who wanted Wuertz to stay in on Sunday: Guess this is why he was pulled. He's starting to freaking suck donkey balls.
  9. OMG will you stop sucking please!!!
  10. Now Wuertz is starting to suck. Wonderful.
  11. LOL. This is the Pirates. THE PIRATES!
  12. Have you checked their stats? Yes, but regardless, it always seems like they struggle.
  13. I would pay twice that to avoid having to listen to Al Herbrosky every night. If the Cubs are good, I'll do it. Otherwise, it's just paying for pain.
  14. Well, I guess we just have to go through this to learn. The challenge will be to keep this team together so they CAN learn.
  15. Wow, gettin' schooled again. We're finishing ourselves off. I'm pretty amazed how completely uncompetitive we are. Never thought we'd look like the Bobcats. Losing is one thing, but looking stupid is quite another. I think we definitely belong here. But right now? We look like we don't deserve to be in this series.
  16. i laughed. He's heard "a lot" of rumors? Eh? I have a feeling this guy is the one everyone likes to play games with at work. Gullible. I remember one time at work everyone had this one chump convinced that Ray Finkle really existed. LOL.
  17. YEah, I'm amazed it actually came through, once we went past week 2 I figured they were just stalling to tell us that they couldn't do it... I'm already a "triple play" customer, so I'll get mine for $119...not bad...I know I'm doing it before tomorrow's game so I can watch it....I am SOO happy this got taken care of. I was wondering about that. I already have Digital and HSI with them. Does that mean I get it for $139, or are the $139 and $119 prices only for new "double play" and "triple play" subscribers? I'd about think that we'd HAVE to get the lower price (however, this IS charter)...I can't imagine there are too many out there that would sign up for MLB-EI, who don't already have one or more services from them...I'd be a bit ticked off if I was told it was only for "new customers" I would hope they take a little off the top, but I don't know. Glad the deal eventually got done. I might actually have to order EI now that the Cubs are starting to play some ball. In April it wasn't worth it just to watch us get beat every night.
  18. That's incredible, I hadn't thought of that part. Sheesh, if the Cubs don't sign Z before the end of the year the Yankees will offer him freaking $200 million!
  19. My issue was more with the constant bullpen shuffling. Why does Wuertz get yanked after one batter because he walked him but Eyre stays in after his first batter gets a double? My guess is because Eyre has been used the least. Also, Lou knows that Eyre needs help regaining his confidence and there are only so many blowouts... It's not like Scott Eyre is going to be traded or released; He's going to be a fixture in the 'pen so he has to start pitching better so that the team can benefit from his presence. The scary part is that lefties are hitting him well. I'm on board with the bullpen shuffling being a bit too much, but let's think about it: Last year, Dusty would have had Gooz pitch until his arm fell off because he was doing well. To hell with whether it would hurt him in the long run or not. I'll take some quicker bullpen moves over burning through starter arms at a record pace and building up abuse points like there's no tomorrow.
  20. Gotta play if ya wanna stay.
  21. I need to see something more from the Bulls tonight. Another game like last time is out of the question.
