Same way, here. In fact, I couldn't even get into the Cesar trade as much as I predicted I would have . . . it's all about winning! Wait.... are you suggesting..... that winning breeds chemistry ??? you tell me, statman. what's our chemistry/game since Lou fired up the troops in june 3rd by kicking his hat 3 times? :) When Jacques Jones has a .921 OPS over the last 7 games, and that's only good for 8th best on the team....... you know that chemistry coefficient is off the charts, no? :wink:

No, actually it would be the same size as any other run. :wink:

what's the record when we hit a triple? CUBS are 9-7 when they hit at least 1 triple.... 42-37 when they don't Go CUBS !!

First triple by the CUBS in their last 17 games. Go CUBS !!!

Jones is only hitting .421 with a .921 OPS the last week.... hell, he can't hurt you !!

Who got the first hit of the day for the CUBS yesterday ?? What's our record this year when the pitcher gets a hit? Good grief, man, I just posted it during this at bat !!! CUBS are 15-7 when their pitcher gets a hit.... 36-37 when he doesn't Go CUBS !!

Who got the first hit of the day for the CUBS yesterday ??

CUBS are 15-7 when their pitcher gets a hit.... 36-37 when he doesn't Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 34-16 when their pitchers average 15 pitches per inning or less..... 17-28 when they don't Go CUBS !!

There goes the no-no.

Ramirez at cleanup, Jones is 5th

Well, that was disappointing.

Make him pay, Aram !!!

CUBS are 23-15 when they score in the first inning.... 28-29 when they don't Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 44-33 when they draw at least 2 walks.... 7-11 when they don't Go CUBS !!

CUBS opponents have GIDP'd at least 1 time in 15 of their last 23 games Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 43-27 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 8-17 when they do Go CUBS !!

Welcome to the Forums, Jim !!!

Kendall caught 3 of the first 4 games after joining the team. Today will make it 3 of 5. The CUBS are 24-9 when one of Hill, Bowen, Soto, or Kendall catch. Go CUBS !! edit: ... besides, how can you deny a battery of Hill & Hill ??? :wink:

.... and still no lineups ?? What's up with that ??

A team that is only 1 game back of the Cubs is a bigger threat than a team that is 6 games back. If they begin to catch up, we'll worry about that later. A team that is only 1 game back you is only a threat to you if you aren't taking care of your own business !!! Go CUBS !!!

Same way, here. In fact, I couldn't even get into the Cesar trade as much as I predicted I would have . . . it's all about winning! Wait.... are you suggesting..... that winning breeds chemistry ???
