Only having 1 lefty isnt really that bad of a thing. The Cubs are going against traditional thinking by not having a loogy, which makes sense considering Wood, Weurtz, Howry, and Marmol can all get lefties out. While I would have preferred for Eyre to be gone I realize that, to the Cubs management, that really isn't a feasible option. But I am more than happy that Ohman has been sent down and am most definitely not complaining. I don't really like the idea of a loogy in the first place especially when there's a 50/50 chance the manager is going to leave him in to face a righty. The guys who can get the guys out are the ones I want pitching. I don't care if they throw lefthanded, righthanded or with their feet. As long as they get guys out.

Yeesh...91 pitches for Lilly in just four innings.

dude, it is because you aren't there Seriously. Vance, what's the Cubs' record with you in attendance so far this year? I think Fred said the Cubs were 1-9 with vance in attendance this year earlier in the thread.

I said the exact same thing to my girlfriend about 15 minutes ago.

Holy crap Jason Kendall just hit a triple.
-
Cubs now have more runs in 3 innings today than they did in the three games against Houston.

Are you drinking today Fred? Theriot grounded out to THIRD base. Don't know what got into me ??? The booze, obviously.

MURTON!!!

The inning should be over if not for the Atkins error. AKA, Baseball's traditional game scoring is really stupid. I don't see what the big deal is. The inning should be over so the runs should be unearned. So why should the pitcher be allowed to go willy nilly and give up home runs and other things the defense isn't related to? ERA in general is stupid. Its much too much subjective, and the ability to completely end all scoring on a pitcher after an error is stupid with 2 outs too. Because it wouldn't be the pitcher's fault that the inning was still going on in the first place. If the defense doesn't make the error than the other runs don't get allowed that inning.

Ugh.

Theriot's grounder should have ended the inning. So any runs after the inning should be over are unearned. Learn something new everyday, for some reason I didn't know that any runs after a "should be" inning ending play were unearned. Good to know, thanks! No problem.

Did this really happen? And is it really Mark, or is it Mike? Mike Sweeney is on the Royals. Mark Sweeney is a pinch hitter on the Giants.

Good jinx, Bob. Good jinx.

Is that Ted's brother? :wink:

Walks are bad when you're pitching, Theodore. Stop handing them out, please.

Bad pickoff throws? Leadoff single? I prefer leadoff homers. I prefer 6/14 in leadoff spot. I prefer .500 OBP over .336 OBP in the leadoff spot. I prefer someone who can take walks over someone who strikes out 3x more. I prefer people who know what they're talking about over people who don't. Ever heard of a sample size? Yeah I would much rather have had Jason Kendall than Sosa in the early 00's you know cause Kendall never K'd Eat a bag. Ever heard of learn baseball? 18 HR good for him. Theriot: 353 AB - 34 SO - 36 BB - .352 OBP Soriano: 444 AB - 95 SO 0 24 BB - .336 OBP Now who should eat a bag? Soriano should bat 5th, learn baseball, take notes from your terrible t-ball team then come back to post. This is the second time in two days you've been blatantly insulting users. Stop it. They're both at fault in this case.

Murton CRUSHED that ball.
-
Off to a good start. At least the Cubs won't get shutout today.
-
I was unable to watch the last four games but will be watching this one. Hopefully me watching coincides with a Cubs turnaround.
-
Heh. I did the exact same thing.
-
I can live with that. :D
