I knew he wasn't going to come in and hit 25 or 30 HR's, but I figured he would be one of the better offensive catchers in the league. I don't have any numbers on him coming through in the late innings, but I just seem to feel confident that he's going to get the clutch hit because I've seen him do it numerous times.

edmonds: wrigley is "a complete class A experience"
soccer10k replied to abuck1220's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah. I don't want to hear opposing players say "wow Wrigley is awesome. I think that I get more ready to play a game there as I do anywhere else." I want to hear players complain about it. -
I know it's VERY early, but was Hendry spot on...

If we can have the whole pen pitching well then Dusty won't have to worry about overworking one or two players. Eyre and Ohman as lefties. Howry and Williamson as righties. Dempster as the closer. The big thing in previous years is that Dusty didn't have any faith in the pen because they stunk. This year there is no reason he shouldn't have faith in the pen. Hopefully it works out well. I just know that I love our pen this year. -
The pen has looked wonderfully strong so far this year. Such a huge change from the past few years. I think I'm going to be surprised when our pen blows a game this year whereas in previous years I expected them to blow it. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for the right arms of Prior and Wood. Pen that Dusty trusts means he won't go Grady Little on us and leave the starters in too long.

I've been touting Barrett since the Cubs picked him up in 2004. He always seems to come up with the big hit. Over the course of a season it doesn't seem like he does a whole lot, but I think the last two games prove my point. That's what I know Barrett for: the clutch hits.
-
Yeah, especially KoJock!!! I was even happier whan Jacque hit that home run because it was him that hit it. I still would have been happy if another player hit a home run but I don't think anyone else hitting one, with the exception of a pitcher doing it, would have made me happier.
-
Yes. Yes he did. Right when he hit it I thought "alright, the game is at least tied." The the LF kept going back and I stood up and put my arms in the air as the ball soared onto Waveland. I started jumping up and down and screaming. Then about 20 minutes later the cops showed up and I got a noise violation. Well, I made the last part up. But the rest is true.
-
Awesome.
-
Put in a Redbird there and it will be perfect.

CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! GET OUT YOUR BROOMS!!

I'm still baffled at how we managed to get Murton with Nomar in that trade in 2004.
-
We have a day off tomorrow... shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, did anyone thing the crowd reaction/tension in this game/energy makes this feel like a playoff game in April? That reaction to the Granny is reminicent of the crowd when Woody hit a HR in game 7, though obviously not QUITE as raucous. It just feels like a playoff game to me. That's an excellent point. After Ramirez walked you could tell that even with just a base hit the crowd was going to erupt.
-
Nice long summery of the inning. Gotta love it. Five runs on three hits, way to go STL pitchers.
-
BTW on another note and I'm not sure where the thread was. But we have seen numerous shots of the painted on tops of chairs in the Cubs dugout that people were talking about. Just to confirm it.
-
That's awesome. I love it when you can hear fans chanting on tv. I went to a Giants-Dodgers game at Pac Bell a couple years ago when Grissom was CF for LA and a Giants fans in left center started to say "What's the matter with Grissom?" and the rest of section would say in unison "He's a bum" We talked to some fans that had season tickets and I guess the guy does it every series with every CF. Then a couple months later I was watching a Giants game on tv and I heard them doing the "He's a bum" chant again. I started laughing uncontrolably.
-
The only people that aren't on it are [fill in the blank with a word impling lack of matter between the ears] that claim he's defense is more of a liabilty than his offense. Ahahahahaha. Not that Barrett is as good offensively as Piazza, but nobody ever complained about Piazza's defense when he was hitting the ball well.
-
How could you not swing at that Murton. That looked like the exact same pitch that Barrett crushed.
-
The people that live above and below me are going to hate me in about a month because of all the screaming and jumping up and down.
-
I always tell people Barrett is underrated. Nobody believes me.
-
Michael Barrett BandWGN just got a few more passengers.
-
CRUSHED TO LEFT FIELD!! Michael Barrett comes through again.
-
Jacque is going come up big again. I can feel it. Regardless of what Barrett does Jacque will come through.
-
Come on Barrett.
-
This is our chance.
-
I thought they got Rincon out of there. Seems like Izzy wants to pitch just like him.
