If Dusty sits Hairston for not swinging that great, can't the same logic be applied to Neifi?

hey I'm sure there are alot of us that don't get CSN. Can you guys try and describe the plays more clearly than "Oh boy" "That Sucks" thanks. Love, Badger. What the heck happened? Did he throw it away?

Well we did come back from down 2-0 early yesterday. And this is is Cinci pitching, and the Great American Ballpark. I just wish Neifi wasn't going to lead off next inning.

You really hate Holla don't you?

Why do I have a bad feeling Harang is going to own us tonight?

Wood not with the best control that inning. Wasn't locating his fastball effectively. Hopefully it's the 2003 Wood, where if you don't get to him by the 3rd inning, games over.

Are you referring to our starting pitchers who have only given up a total of 15 ER in the last 9 games? :?:

WHere the hell is everyone? 10 pages before the game and then nothing? Crap. Solo HR by Wood.

How deep was that Lee drive to right. Sportsline said flied out to deep right.

I'd be willing to bet $200 that situation won't come up 10 times. I don't want Pierre either (see first page) but I'd take that bet and double it in a heartbeat. 10 times the whole year? I'd guarantee that would happen.

Rookies much watch learn and emulate worse players by sitting on the bench, in order to be good enough to be in the lineup. Cedeno and Murton can ONLY play against Lefty's.

The thought of Kearns is really starting to turn me on. :shock: Seriously though, he could be another gem found by Hendry, he has HUGE potential could be a career 800+ OPS guy. Nothing to shake your head at.

I don't recall exactly, but they are very very very bad. Like worse than Neifi and Corey in their slumps bad. I will be disappointed if we get Kearns or Pierre for anything less than peanuts. I agree with you about Pierre, but Kearns has HUGE upside potentials.

Please not Pierre. For the love of God, please not pierre. Hairston's OBP is 40 points above Pierres. Mike Kiley is an idiot too. So, that makes me feel better.

Am I good or am I good?

Is it just me or is Kerry NEVER on WGN?

He won't it's been stated numerous times by both Hendry and Dusty that Dempster is the closer for the rest of the year. Yeah. And if Dusty pulled Dempster from the closer's role, Hendry might blow a fuse. You don't mess with a winning formula, and even Dusty must be smart enough to realize that. Especially considering Dempster is Hendry's pet project, and having him close was Hendry's vision. Which I must say was dead on accurate.

In a heartbeat depending on what they want. He is old, so I wouldn't want to Mortgage the farm though.

i may be stating what someone else already has, but i don't care to sift through the 10 pages of comments to find out. i don't like the idea of dunn for cpatt, hill and mitre. dunn is just a notch above burnitz in that he is usually all or nothing. sure he takes more walks, but walks don't usually drive in runs. the cubs need a hitter in LF, not another slugger. the offense could be improved dramatically if a true hitter was added. by that i mean a guy who will do the little things at the plate like move a runner over to 3rd with a grounder to the right side, or get that same runner home from 3rd with less than two outs. or only hit .280 but come through in the clutch. i also don't like the idea of trading mitre who has shown flashes of sheer brilliance. he could be a really good back of the rotation guy in a year or so. same for hill. LHP with that kind of breaking balls and velocity don't come along that often. everytime willis chalks up another win, i just cringe at that idea of repeating that mistake. given the arm problems wood and prior have experienced of late, and the fact that maddux will only be around for one more season, i'd prefer not to trade two good prospects for a high strikeout LF. Welcome to the Boards! There are two factions two this argument on this board. The following will always be cited in every discussion: High Strikeouts/High Walks Low BA/High OBP Too much All or nothing/.900+ OPS That should have you prepared for any debates about Dunn.

He won't it's been stated numerous times by both Hendry and Dusty that Dempster is the closer for the rest of the year.

Dusty isn't going to replace dempster. Who ever wrote that just didn't have a clue and/or was trying to spice up the short blurb.

hmmm. :evil:

Also this would mean Hendry flat out lied on the Score yesterday when he laughed about Patterson trade rumors, and said "He's a Cub" and "we want him to remain a Cub"

This thread is entirely to positive. Y'all are slipping. Cubs blow chunks. West Tennesse could beat the pirates and the Reds. The real test comes this weekend. You win that series, and you no longer suck. (Except you Wood, you're always cool)

There is a lot of cream in many peoples shorts during this thread. :lol: I'm not buying it. Mitre, Hill, and Patterson for Dunn? That's it? Seems like Hendry would be ripping off the Reds big time. You'd think they'd want more to trade Dunn w/in the division.
