    precisely.

    We might not score tonight, for real.
  3. Soul
    Unfortunately it's singles ball tonight, have to string together multiples to score.

    Very little criticism of Geo, but pitchers who can throw that slider that dives away seem to have pretty good success against him.

    I guess that's Hendry & Piniella. I really don't think Piniella even wants him Then why does he keep playing him? I was wondering the same. Just leave him on the bench, DFA him, bring up some bum. Playing him surely means they still think he's worth something.

    Seriously, that is strange.

    OK so who thinks that was the wind, and who thinks that was Kemp shocked that Jim can only hit it that far anymore?

    Here comes the K.

    Am I the only one who thinks Bob has been pretty unprofessional lately in regards to Soriano? Ever since the dropped ball he's been ridiculous. He has been. The whole "you could throw a dart in the dugout and find a better defender than Soriano" was completely uncalled for and sort of soured me on old BB I didn't hear it, but I agree it sounds over-the-top and uncalled for. At the very least he could temper it a bit. Everyone knows Soriano's not a good defender, but on a Cubs broadcast I don't expect my own announcers to openly bash Cub players like that.

    Come on Jim, channel your 5-years-ago self.

    These hit & runs on 3-2 counts are really starting to piss me off.

    Save yourself the wasted time and just read the first comment. It says all anyone will ever need to know:

    Nice. :D

    The Tigers would need to do something to improve their pitching. My understanding is they've got key components who are out, and may not come back at all. I think we're looking at a case where the AL Central is simply not as good as expected, and the White Sox are pouncing on it. It's interesting because it looks like the exact opposite is true in the NL Central. The division is looking to be better than expected, and the Cubs aren't able to run away with it despite a hot start.

    Any possible chance CPatt might have had in salvaging a career was dealt a crushing blow when he was put right back under the wing of the manager who presided over his demise in '04 and '05.

    He's not trading that pick. If he does he'll never make it home, there will be millions of fans out to burn him at the stake. I think he realizes this is his one, best chance to change the fortunes of this team for the next 10+ years. I'm almost certain he's picking Rose. He just wants to do his due diligence on Beasley. I've been wrong before, but that's how I see it.

    I thought Neyer was being sarcastic with CPatt comment, but he wasn't. It might not help to keep Pie in the minors to change his swing. But it didn't work to keep CPatt at the major leagues and give him at bats, either. So I guess there's no way that will work.

    Nick in Chicago was probably like, :blink:

    I didn't witness much of Beasley playing so I'll have to defer to those who know. I'm sure he's a great player based on what people say. I do wonder about the PG situation though, Hinrich's not close to what we would need to be a great team, everyone has to realize that now. You can argue we need a scoring threat inside, but how much of that would be provided by Beasley at the NBA level by just being Beasley, and how much of that might be provided by having an outstanding PG running the offense with what we currently have, or after a package deal to pull someone in? You could go crazy thinking about all the possibilities. So, I'm not going to. I'm just going to sit back and see what happens. It's a good position to be in. At least we won't be watching in horror as Miami picks Wade just ahead of us like they did when we had to settle on Hinrich.

    Jimbo should just keep his mouth shut. Saying something like that to the press just isn't smart. It's always easy to come up with examples where you contradicted yourself. Most GMs realize this, and keep quiet. Jim doesn't really seem to get that.

    It bothers me that all the losses we had on our last road trip were winnable games, with either a sizable lead in the earlier innings or a lead heading into the bottom of the 9th. I hate to say it, but if we would have just got beat that would be easier to take. But blowing two leads in the 9th in a row, and having 3, 4 run leads in Houston and blowing them. Difficult to handle that crap.
  23. Soul
    We need to figure out why we can't win on the road. 2-4 on the road trip, all 4 losses were giveaways. Anyway, it's good to be home.
  24. Soul
    Win today, or I shall become irate.
  25. Soul
    That was a pathetic loss. You better win today cobs.
