Soriano did the same thing we sending him to AAA? maybe just a slight difference in talent level. I understand that but I dont here anybody else saying Soriano was stupid for swinging. You cant have it both ways Soriano was stupid for swinging at the first pitch. Happy? But that doesn't mean we should send Soriano down to AAA.
-
Soriano did the same thing we sending him to AAA? Because Soriano can do good things with the bat and has shown the ability to do so. Ronny hasn't. Comparing Soriano to Cedeno is just stupid.
-
OUCH!! That didn't look good at all.
-
That's why you got sent down to AAA, Ronny. Don't swing at the first pitch when the pitcher has walked two hitters in the inning.
-
Come on Ronny. Get the big hit.
-
Crap.
-
nope i dont want a serious injury just one to take him out of this game Yep. Gotta make sure he's healthy enough to shut the Brewers down on Saturday.
-
UGH.
-
Can you suck for these 4 games Ryan. You can pick it up this weekend.
-
Great play by DLee.
-
that's a little harsh I don't think it's too much to ask that the fielders know how many outs there are. EDIT: Yes, he's probably not an idiot. But it doesn't take a bright person to know whether that was out number 1, 2, or 3.
-
Pagan thought that was the third out. Idiot.
-
I'm not liking Lilly's control at the moment.
-
Hamels has the best left handed changeup in baseball, eh Sut? Ever heard of Johan Santana?
-
Something has to give, I guess. :wink:
-
Thank you Theodore Roosevelt.
-
What would the purpose be of throwing behind Rollins there? Stupid Sutcliffe.
-
I'd guess that Hanley would cost just as much, if not more, than Cabrera because he's a SS.
-
There was a report that he only wanted to go to Atlanta or Chicago, but Griffey hasn't said anything of that sort either way. I would think with the Tex to Atlanta deal that there is no chance for Griffey to go there as well. What else would the Braves offer the Reds now that Salty is gone?
-
Actually it's only three. And that difference is because of the postponed April 29 Cards game that was cancelled when Hancock died. The St. Louis game is scheduled to be made up on September 15. The other difference is probably just due to the schedule. The Cubs will make up one game tomorrow. In August the Brewers have 4 off days while the Cubs have 2 and, barring any more postponements, the teams will be even on games played going into September. Both teams play the same number of games in October but the Cubs have an extra off day due to the aforementioned doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Like you said earlier in your post, they had an ace in Carpenter last year. They don't have him this year.

I think it's pretty clear that Murton is the best option to play in RF all the time and I'm not quite sure how some people fail to realize this. Murton last year put up a .295/.356/.426/.782 against righties in 319 AB's in 2006. Floyd has put up a line of .293/.356/.397/.753 line against righties in 174 AB's in 2007. And Floyd hits righties better than lefties whereas Murton is the opposite.
-
why? It's not tryout camp. He failed early and why should he replace anyone? exactly. Murton was brought up to be a pinchhitter and an occassional starter. That is what he should be unless he proves himself differently. How exactly is Murton supposed to prove himself when he gets 8 AB's a week (which is about what he would get as "a pinchhitter and an occasional starter")?
-
Put me in the 'give Fontenot a couple days off' camp. Ronny tore up AAA and he deserves another shot to show what he can do. If he can't get it done, put Fontenot back in the starting lineup and see if he can make some adjustments. Right now, Font isn't getting it done.

I've got to agree with jjgman on this one regarding the pen. I mean, the pen blew a bunch of games early in the year and subsequently, the Cubs were horrendous in one run games. Now, the pen is pitching well, and all of a sudden the Cubs are winning all kinds of one run games. That's only a two run difference but it has mattered. Cubs record in 1-run games: April through June 2: 2-12 June 3 to present: 12-5 That has coincided with the Cubs turnaround. EDIT: I'm not saying that luck has nothing to do with it - I'm sure it does - but the pen has played a bigger role.
