    I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way. Just addressing how much of a pet peeve of mine this idea has been all year. I honestly don't even see the point of bringing up the Pie/Soriano thing. No offense, CCP, I just think the idea is ridiculous and deserves about as much credence as talk of witchcraft, curses, and jinxes. Any correlation I entirely attribute to pure coincidence (and I'm sure you, and most people here, do too). The only reason I was curious as to the numbers since June 3rd minus the Sori injury is because, for whatever reason, the team really seemed to turn the corner at that point in the season, and missing their most productive outfielder for like 3 weeks during that span was a big blow.

    Yea, I'm really glad Lou has given him a chance. The situation is so similar to the Estes/Cruz situation in 03, where Dusty pretty much refused to give in all season (although he did skip a few Estes starts in Sept). Actually, I feel like that would've been an easier move to make, since Estes was far more abysmal than Kendall has been as a Cub.

    Where do you see that? It was up there last night. Can't find it anymore myself, though, either.
  4. David
    Well, if I was wrong, I wasn't that far off... I think I excluded the Mets game. So that accounts for one. Thanks
  5. David
    In case anyone cared, I bothered to figure it out myself. 52-30 since June 3rd excluding the time Soriano was hurt. Not a bad win total at all for 82 games. .634 clip EDIT.. that seems not right, though... let me check again
  6. David
    Since we were citing the ever important since-June 3rd record for the longest time, and since it seemed like the only time we really slowed down was while Soriano was hurt... What is the Cubs' record/winning %age this year since June 3rd, excluding the time while Soriano was on the DL?

    Catching up? I know I'm biased to a point, because I'm of a younger generation that never saw Santo play, but I'd say that the Ramirez we have right now at least matches up (I hate to say better/worse because it's tough to compare eras) with Santo in his prime. Whether Ram puts up an entire career to match up/exceed Santo's remains to be seen, but I'd say he's pretty well on his way with the way he has performed since 2004. It would take a lot of durability, though, and he still has a ways to go.

    Unless you meant a World Series MVP, just pointing out that he couldn't win NL MVP based on any playoff performance. Voting is done before the playoffs begin.
  9. David
    How do the playoff look? Will the Cubs face the winner in the west or possibly the wild card team? The Cubs could only face the wild card team if they had the best record in the league, or if they have the second best record in the league and the wild card comes from the same division as the team with the best record in the league. So, probably won't face the wild card team in round one.

    Do we know anything yet about a possible TBS HD broadcast and how cable companies/DirecTV will handle this?
  11. David
    I'm pretty certain Trachsel didn't appear in 98 either. Was it Tapani, Mark Clark, and Wood in the 3 games?
  12. David
    That's Tony Gwynn. Come on now.
  13. David
    That's what I'm thinking...but if I lose a lot of money for essentially being a Cubs fan I'm going to hate them even more for all the torture It's not like it's just for being a Cubs fan. Z isn't exactly a crappy pitcher (even though he's been crappy at times), and the Cubs offense has been firing on all cylinders.
  14. David
    Easy. Start Z. You can't root against him at this point in the season, and you can take comfort in that being the reason you made your decision.
  15. David
    who broke their leg? Minus whale add that one to the list.
  16. David
    Scored two tickets to each game!
  17. David
    Not that UM hasn't been solid in his own game thread starts, but why isn't Derwood starting this one? Gotta keep the streak goin and stuff...
  18. David
    LOL... we could go just 2-5 the rest of the way, and they'd still have to play .750 ball to beat us. Gotta love small sample sizes.
  19. David
    That's exactly what should happen if we get Bonds. It won't happen, but putting Bonds at 1B will be as successful as putting Frank Thomas at 1B. Umm... Double ummm
  20. David
    Not really... Some people are more capable of being productive hitters than others. Those people are more capable than others at driving in runs.
  21. David
    Count me as another who had no idea that Manny and Aramis are cousins, despite always seeing a lot of similarities among the two.
  22. David
    He's probably proud of his Jewish ancestry/heritage and the cultural side, but could give two craps about religion. Most of my Jewish friends (note my location, LOL) are pretty much this way.
  23. David
    LOL at that Brewer fan with the sign that lists the Brewers' past accomplishments and then puts "07 - NL Champs" at the end. If you're going to dream, why not dream big and have them go all the way?
  24. David
    To refute this, I'm saying that a player's performance does not shift whether or not there is a base runner on or not. The fact that his numbers are different with runners on is all just a matter of coincidence. A player doesn't suddenly gain better offensive ability (or worse), based on the situation at hand, i just cannot believe that theory. Well, you're wrong. Pitchers pitch differently with RISP, and are likely to leave more balls over the plate. Therefore, there is a difference when hitting with runners on. Good hitters, like Ramirez, will make pitchers pay for challenging them. I love it when people who are wrong are so emphatic about it. 100+ years of baseball statistics say you're wrong.
  25. David
    yeah prior and wood were fine in 2003 too Howry really isn't the future of the franchise though. I'll gladly burn him out if it means success now and in the playoffs.
