  1. I don't have any problem with Joe Buck. Yeah, I said it.
  2. I think it's awesome. You can see the movement so much better. And you get a truer view of the corners. Apparently it makes Lilly look like a really good pitcher too.
  3. I think it's awesome. You can see the movement so much better.
  4. I'm telling you, we won't win in this series. I'm never this pessimistic but I just get the feeling that this is the Cubs annual 10-15 game meltdown.
  5. Apparently you haven't seen next offseason's free agent list. It's starting pitcher city.
  6. Is anyone else entirely confident that we're going to get swept this series?
  7. What's worse... not playing Cedeno, or hitting no tool Fonenot ahead of Soto?
  8. Cedeno still not in the lineup? Are you [expletive] kidding me Lou? Seriously? And Fontenot is batting ahead of Soto. Jesus
  9. You can criticize Lou's handling of the team all you want. Calling him a huge douchebag is entirely inappropriate. Are there 7 year olds present or something?
  10. Yeah, if you're interested in winning this crappy division with 86 wins and then getting destroyed in the playoffs. If our rotation is struggling, then how about instead of trading for a second baseman, we trade for a pitcher? Is that such a radical idea?
  11. How about when he used a long reliever for one out in a game where the bullpen was getting crushed? How about when he put in Fontenot for Cedeno for NO reason?
  12. Yeah, he's been pretty brutal so far this season. I don't remember him being this bad in 2007.
  13. lolol at "hiding" him in the 7th hole. It's still a spot in the lineup. He'll still be batting. Stop putting such a ridiculous amount of emphasis on lineup construction. Also, I'd much rather have him striking out with nobody on base than striking out with guys on base, which he'd be doing batting 7th. BUT, this thread is not about Soriano. If you want to continue getting schooled in the other thread, then post over there.
  14. For like a week. Why? He's been lights out for the majority of his appearances, which have almost all come in long relief. The guy needs to get into the rotation. Well what do you mean by "he is the answer"? He's not the answer for us winning the division and certainly not for us winning the World Series. I like Lieber and I like what he's done so far, but let's be realistic. He's a mid to high 4's ERA pitcher at best at this point of his career and probably wouldn't stay healthy the whole season. He's good to have in sitations like this, but he's a band-aid, a back end of the rotation starter maybe. Going into the season we needed Hill to perform like last season. Replacing him with a number 5 starter is not "the answer" unless it's only for a couple weeks until Hill finds his command in Iowa. If we don't have the good Rich Hill, then this rotation is going to be in serious serious trouble when Ryan Dempster remembers he's Ryan Dempster (and it's only a matter of time before it all catches up to Ryan so let's not kid ourselves).
  15. Decided to finally make this poll after the recent Gallardo happening. I'm only going to include the 2 obvious choices.
  16. With a tired pen and Ramirez likely on the bench, I don't like this game.
  17. Looks like we're going to get to see Scherzer first hand next weekend.
