    Levine is saying that the Cubs expect it to be something that'll take care of itself within about two weeks.
  2. David
    FWIW, Levine was just on ESPN1000 and thinks Lou will be using Patterson regularly at 2B and DeRosa in LF. He also believes that (in Lou's eyes, not his own),with yet another leg injury, Soriano's days at leadoff are done for good. The positive that I can take from this is that at least it looks like Lou won't be going back to Theriot at leadoff (if he is, indeed, trying to find a "leadoff man" in EPatt). Unfortunately, he has had him hitting 2nd, which is almost as bad.

    You really really have to try harder at being sneaky.

    Still, I've never understood why so many of them look completely foolish up there. I have no problem with the concept of pitchers just being overpowered by pitching since they don't spend much time hitting, but you'd think that they could at least strike out with a smidgen of athleticism. Some of them look like they've never swung a bat in their entire lives. Probably because they have zero hitting talent but do have an arm that can throw a ball at or around 90mph... It's not like you can learn to be a MLB quality hitter or practice really hard at it. It's a natural ability that very few people have.

    Except the really good ones who get to be DHs.

    How did the Cubs win on Sunday? Zambrano hit a grounder, hustled to first base, and Utley threw it wildly to first. An error occurred, and the Cubs scored. Utley admitted that he saw Zambrano running hard and that made him rush his throw. With the Cubs' lack of solid starting pitching, the race for the division will be tight. Every game will be important. That's why you hustle. Do you realize that you can say the exact same thing about how much Ramirez getting hurt would harm the team if his "hustle" managed to cause an injury? The guy has leg issues and, on top of it, he's slow. Asking him to leg out every ball he hits is tantamount to wanting injury prone pitchers to pitch through pain. Nothing good can come of it.

    Should he grimace more while he's running or something?
  8. David
    I'm just guessing, but this was probably Lou's call. I don't get the feeling that he likes Murton at all (despite his glowing comments during ST).
  9. David
    Counting stats?....especially the bolded? Besides, his HR total was just about at his career average. And he missed plenty of games due to injury.
  10. David
    hahahhahaha stupidity Oh, well. I hope EPatt does well if he's gonna get an extended look at 2B.
  11. David
    Some people are absolutely horrific at detecting sarcasm.
  12. David
    They have a base of 29k season tickets? WTF? So only 13k tickets (or so) per game are actually released for sale to the public?
  13. David
    Veto like you're startin a mower.

    I agree with the sentiment in your post. The blackouts are a joke, but no way in hell can that be a 10 hour drive. It takes me 10 hours to do Chicago to Atlanta, and I'm positive that Memphis is quite a bit closer to Cincy than that.
  15. David
    What did he get banned for? For being Meph

    Shafted out of wins for both Westbrook and Johnson tonight... Damn you JOBO... ](*,) ](*,)
  17. David
    i'm not so sure... 2004: 687 PA, 168 K (24.5% K/PA) 2005: 481 PA, 118 K (24.5% K/PA) 2006: 498 PA, 94 K (18.9% K/PA) 2007: 503 PA, 65 K (12.9% K/PA) So? Whether it's strikeouts, pop outs or ground outs, he still makes the same amount of them. Last year he struck out almost 30 times less than 2006 in only two less at bats and his OBP still dropped. Dude you were just proven wrong, give up already. What? No he wasn't. Even though Corey's strikeouts have dropped he is still getting on base at the same low rate LOL Come on, roast. You should know better.

    I meant vouch (I think people got that). But sadly, I was on a loptop, with no autocorrect. The worst part, it took me a solid 3 minutes on dictionary.com to figure out that there is no "g" in the word at all, and that I have been pronouncing it wrong my entire life. Awesome. Wait, you've been pronouncing "vouch" with a G? I'm really curious as to what this sounded like. I'm guessing the way he spelled it.. vow-je (attempt at phonetic spelling)

    .286/.367/.548/.915 in 11 games Not bad, so far. Not bad at all.
  20. David
    He transformed into Ceda. And I think he got released by the Pads last year in spring training, after having accepted arbitration.
  21. David
    I was thinking the exact same thing. LOL at Theriot's "development" possibly being stunted.
  22. David
    You're right. It was a coincidence that they were two of top pitchers in terms of pitcher abuse points under Dusty, that Dusty has a tendency to abuse young arms, and that their arms almost fell off. Or not.
  23. David
    There is a LOT of butchering of "couldn't care less" in this thread.
  24. David
    I'm guessing he posted that on an iPhone or some other smart phone and it autocorrected to that. Otherwise, that mistake would make no sense whatsoever.
  25. David
    Vance in first after week one. I'm right on your heels and not going anywhere yo.
