    Not macho enough.

    I'm not too upset about this one. Lilly looked pretty good. Yes, we lost. But we finally won a road series so that's progress. Mad Dog still has a few games like this in him; I thought his pitches had very good movement last night, better than I usually see though I admit I haven't really watched him this year. Just don't make a habit of losing, that's all. Let's get at least a split from the Dodgers and make it a winning road trip. LA just lost 2 in a row to the Rockies, they still aren't playing well. Perfect chance to quiet some of these "Cubs can't win on the road" naysayers. GIT R DONE.

    I don't think they're going away. They're like the DBacks were last year. They'll just amaze everyone all year long until someone dethrones them head to head. I hope it's the Cubs, and I hope it's before the playoffs start. Because I don't want there to even be an opportunity for them to beat us in a playoff series.

    This crappy ballpark seems to eat hard-hit flyballs for lunch. Let's hope Ted can work off that, as he is a fly ball pitcher mostly anyway.

    Of course. Anyone who makes a mistake or goes into a slump must be a bad person underneath it all.

    Are there any other businesses under the Trib umbrella besides the Cubs that anyone cares about anymore?

    It's starting to border on funny bad now. What exactly is the holdup anyway? Paxson just doesn't impress me much anymore. Remember when we were building a strong young core of players and everything was looking up? Now we've got the #1 pick in the draft, yet we're listing back & forth like a small boat in a big storm. GET IT DONE ALREADY.

    So Marquis is going to ruin my Sunday. GREAT! :banghead:

    Monday.

    That seems to be his MO: Have decent first year, get swelled ego and stop listening to coaches, have crappy year, move on to next team, repeat. Yep. Isn't that what the Cards said about this guy? Just stopped listening. I don't remember the Braves shedding too many tears when he left, either.
  11. Soul
    Hehehe. I seem to remember posting some stats that were wrong on here, too :blush: Now I just try to leave the math to others. Much better plan.

    Almost everyone has trouble with low breaking balls. Pitchers are always trying to keep that pitch down -- some are more effective than others. Really, Soto was going to come back to earth a little bit. Nobody ever said he was a .350 hitter with a normal .420 OBP. But he clobbered another homer yesterday, he tied up a ballgame that we would have lost a couple days ago with a good sac fly. He's slumping a bit, sure, but even in a slump he's more valuable to us that most catchers we've trotted out there. I'm more worried about Lee right now. Just wanting him to come out of it, and soon.

    Lee got cold. Soriano got hot. That's what good offenses are able to do, my man :) And Teddy: Don't disappoint me, bud. :cool:

    The only purpose Marquis serves is to burn out our bullpen further and give Lou an ulcer. I couldn't read Lou's lips totally last night, but what I could gather looked something like this: Lou: "Start throwing some strikes." Marquis: nods Lou: "And you better start doing it right now." I think even Lou's had it with this clown.
  15. Soul
    He doesn't look like he's "swinging for the fences" every time to me. I don't know how anyone can say that for sure anyway; it's a subjective observation.
  16. Soul
    I'm just gonna have to trust in Cubbie magic and consider this one a victory......until I check the score tomorrow morning. Time for bed.
  17. Soul
    I gotta work tomorrow. I'm not gonna make this one.
  18. Soul
    Yeah, what the hell? You missed ball buddy, too bad so sad.
  19. Soul
    Comcast sports update and Marquis gets a 1 hit out. Hmmmm.....bring back Gail for some more updates.
  20. Soul
    Well hell, Paul Bunyan couldn't hit a frakkin' home run in this craphole, how else can we do it?
  21. Soul
    Can't wait to see Lou melt down when Marquis blows this.
  22. Soul
    Cmon, time to snap out of the slump D.
  23. Soul
    Small strike zone vs. pitcher with control problems. They should be afraid. They should be very afraid. Fears justified.
  24. Soul
    Who knows, it may be. It's all I've got. Can't think of anything else.
  25. Soul
    Lou must have decided preserving the bullpen is more important than the win.
