    Batting any of our 2b options 8th isn't rocket surgery. This could get frustrating.

    Some other positives are Starlin and Castro, his late inning error notwithstanding. Garza pitched very well too, despite Pittsburgh's managing to bloop and/or roll every god damn ball-in-play to a spot where a cub was not. One final gripe about batting order: How many times can anyone remember a guy posting 7 TB with 1 R and no RBI? Batting Starlin leadoff is not necessarily a bad idea, but with no one behind him, (and the 8 and pitcher's spots ahead of him) he is essentially in an offensive no-man's-land. Pretty much this. He was isolated between two automatic outs, which almost completely negated his monster performance. Had it not been for a lazy fly ball from a predictably bad hitter, there would have been no runs yielded from Castro's 7 bases over 3 AB. There was plenty of luck in Pittsburgh's corner in order for them to put up those runs, but with Soto, Soriano, and Byrd all batting with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out, there absolutely MUST be at least one run generated. If the middle of the order can't be counted on for that, then...

    Pessimism: - If late inning clutch from Soriano and DeWitt is what it takes to get a W, this could be a long season - I don't see Ramirez having the bounce back season this team needs him to have - I wouldn't be surprised to see Pena struggle with the Mendoza line all season. Optimism: - Starlin Castro. Holy f I'm pumped to see how his season goes - I think Zambrano is going to have a good season. - This bullpen will be for real. Marmol's K on Doumit was ridiculous.

    I didn't catch the postgame conference today, but people were saying good things about it. What were some of the highlights?

    Isn't that a few innings longer than it normally takes? I'm pretty sure Jason Heyward happened about 6 minutes into the season last year.

    ESPN gamecast made it look like that ball made it all the way to the lake. How far did it actually go?

    Random fact: "Cubs" translates into Arabic and Pashto as "constipation."
  9. CubmanPi
    There is no good explanation for this. The Cubs are clearly overachieving this year.

    Another Guitar Hero injury??

    First of all, I don't have the time to make multiple accounts in an effort to amuse you like some sort of birthday clown. Second of all, I will no longer encourage your efforts in shifting this topic from Big Z to your 5 seconds of internet stardom on my behalf. And that's all I have to say about that. Yours Truely, ****RAWDOG 4 EVA**** Created: 20 Jul 2008 Posts: 10 Persistence is key though, keep it up. Like I said, it's still phenomenal work. To follow your shift back to Big Z, I'm on your side of the line. I have high hopes for him this season, and I appreciated the way he didn't kick up a stink about being moved to second in the rotation.

    Someone's alt is trying a little too hard, imo. It's still phenomenal trolling, just not as funny.

    I've barely spent any time in the Chicago area the last twelve years, so this site accounts for all of my exposure to Cubs discussion. When I would visit, it always threw me off that complete shock/confusion was the only response I ever got to expressing any negative opinion or feeling about Theriot.
  14. CubmanPi
    The arbitration probably didn't help his sentiments toward the club either.
  15. CubmanPi
    Sore lat muscle, per Rotoworld: He's really fun to watch, I wish he could actually stay healthy.
  16. CubmanPi
    The emphasis on "intelligently and efficiently," coupled with the absence of Lou/Theriot, definitely leaves room for optimism.
  17. CubmanPi
    What are the odds of such a scuffle not involving a Carlos on either side of the punch?
  18. CubmanPi
    Fixed. Fixed again. I think the worst case scenario would be some sort of global thermonuclear war. Or people refusing to fix posts. One of the two. FTFY

    However, the actual quote was: I've never heard of Patrick Mooney before, but I can safely conclude that he sucks.

    There's one that's not. And he used to post on this board. That's why I specified blowhard--because surprisingly enough, that actually disqualifies some people. Following Miles is why I finally created a twitter account. ETA - To stay on topic, LOL at this team so far, but it could be a blessing in disguise... What better time for this stuff to go down than the first week of exhibition?
  21. CubmanPi
    Kaplan, Sullivan... aren't all blowhard beat-writers the same? I'm just passing time until I get to make another towel joke or donut joke.
  22. CubmanPi
    Sullivan just tweeted that Aramis' bickering at Silva was very lackluster, looked very lazy.
  23. CubmanPi
    It's nothing personal. We just like everybody else better than we like Dusty. It's probably just because of all the polka he blared out of Sammy's boombox.
  24. CubmanPi
    This is supposed to be a happy pics thread. Doesn't someone have a ban hammer for this kind of stunt?
  25. CubmanPi
    I love MLB network but their rankings are stupid, the fact that the analyst that present the show do not even agree with these rankings is pretty bad. Soto should have been between 4-7 on the list, i personally would have had him at 5th. Picking Molina, Santana, Buck, Wieters and Ruiz over Soto is BS. Posey is also another guy who has to do it over a full season to earn a higher rank if you ask me. If you had a gun to your head and was asked "Who will have a better season this year, Carlos Santana or Geovany Soto?", what would you answer be? Does the person holding the gun know the right answer? How?? Would he be willing to replace Hendry?
