I don't really understand the "he's the best option we have" argument. Last I checked, teams can make trades to get other players. I think the majority of the people who want Theriot replaced would prefer we get a shortstop through a trade. Saying you support Theriot because he's (arguably) the best option we have is kind of silly to me. The Tigers didn't settle for Brandon Inge at third just because he was the best option they had.

Way to be irrational. When you guys decide to pick on you guy you pour it on. He can do nothing right in your mind. You refuse to appreciate a guy who plays hard everyday because he isn't the best player. Pretty stupid to me. No one has said he is a great player or even good. All I've said is a appreciate his hard play and none jerk attitude. Maybe it's becase we want to win games? Nobody said we don't appreciate the fact that Theriot plays hard and blah blah blah. The fact is that it doesn't make up for the fact that he's not good and hurts the lineup. If I get a spot in the Cubs lineup I'll promise to work hard and have a good attitude. Do you want me to start too?
-
No because he made stupid mistakes and was lazy. Now you're just making things up. How did he make stupid mistakes? How was he lazy? Wasn't Theriot the one who sat at home all winter while Cedeno played winter ball and tried to improve?
-
Very well may be. Doesn't bother me any. I'll always support a guy who plays all out and is a good guy. That's cool. I want to win.

Did you like Neifi too?

Does anybody know if they plan on having condensed games this season? So far they aren't showing up.

Zambrano forearm injury worse than originally let on?

The only reason I posted the thread under the different name is because that's the name it logs me in with when I'm using the mlb.tv account on my friend's email address. -

Well played. -
I guess the Cubs are the only team to live by that theory. So you think Joe Borowski is a better pitcher than Rafael Betancourt? Yeah, I didn't think so. What seperates a closer from other relievers are save situations. Was today a save situation? No. What if Wood pitches a scoreless 9th and they go to the 10th or 11th still scoreless? Then another reliever is pitching in the exact same situation. Are they ore likely to fail in those situations because they aren't a closer. Wood came in because he was thebest pitcher available at that time, at least in LOu's mind. Also, why do you assume that since Wood blew a tie game that he's more likely to blow a save? Those are completely different situations. For example, have you seen Dempster's situations in save on non-save situations from last season? Probably not, because you're a Reds fan. Why don't you stick to the Reds?

i hope that was sarcasm. Well...he hasn't... Neither has Tom Gordon. And why exactly are people against Marmol closing? Marmol and Wood were used in the exact same situation today. Ok? So why are you talking about Marmol being a closer based on what happened today? Wood still has to pitch somewhere. Wood pitched in the 9th today because he is the closer. Umm, that makes no sense. Wood pitched in the 9th because he is a reliever. Anyways, what difference would it have made if he gave up those 3 runs in the 8th instead of the 9th?

You're an idiot. Again, this should help you out: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Sarcasm Based on his overreactions in the other thread I'm not so sure it was sarcasm. Well...then...I don't know what to tell you, but it obviously was. When people are posting the same types of things and actually meaning it, then it's hard to tell when someone is being sarcastic.
-
With the ridiculous posting that's been going on today, it's hard to tell what is sarcasm and what's not.

How can you possibly trash Piniella when you have a picture of Ryan Theriot in your sig? If it wasn't for Lou, your golden boy wouldn't even have a job.
-
You're an idiot.

Yeah, that .913 OPS last season really needs to go. You say things like that and expect to be taken seriously? It's one game in. The problems we saw today were the same types of problems we had last season. Nothing is "going downhill". We're pretty much the same team as last season, so if you're going to complain just complain about this team not being great.

Postponed Games vs. Continued Games
17 Seconds replied to killthegoat06's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If they were resuming the game from where it left off, it would have been suspended, not postponed. -
You realize that the situation was the same for both Wood and Marmol today, right?
-
What's funny is that his OPS would still only be .29 higher than Bonds' 2004 OPS. That fact makes me feel a little sick. Bonds your a scumbag. I mean .029. And yes Bonds is a scumbag.

Lou: Soriano 5th, Johnson leadoff, Fukudome 2nd against LHP
17 Seconds replied to 17 Seconds's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
joh Not really. Johnson takes a decent amount of walks and doesn't steal many bases. To be honest, I'm shocked Hendry didn't get Crisp. Before the Crisp rumors even started I thought he'd end up on the Cubs. Fast- Check Doesn't take many walks- Check "Athlete"- Check Bad contract- Check That has Jim Hendry written all over it. -
You've got some pretty stupid priorities. Your [expletive]. This HAS to be a joke, right? Yes, I know I should have put "ur" Or you could have just spelled "you're" properly. Ur works also though.
