He's the best player in the history of the planet. This is an injustice on par with slavery, the holocaust, and new Coke. I'm glad we're on the same page. It'd be pretty stupid to question a management team that runs out so many 90-win teams playing in a weak division and throwing huge dollars at every problem.
-
Nothing that could have been done about that. It's not as if we had a middle infielder on the bench better than both in the game that has a step or more better range.
-
The Cubs are two runs away from saving their season.
-
Is there some sort of record for highest percentage of infield hits by a slow guy?
-
Yes, but not by much.
-
If you think our rotation is a question mark now, wait until Dempster stops pitching to a .190 BABIP and Hill is replaced with Jon Lieber.
-
Equivocation. There are high-leverage situations and low-leverage situations. Kevin Hart in a high-leverage situation = deserve to lose.
-
Well, the management doesn't deserve it, but they've thrown enough money at problems to make the playoffs regardless.
-
I'm not sure what I'm more annoyed about. The Cubs' management's stupidity doing their best to lose this game, or the Brewers' insane ability to ducksnort and groundball their way to runs.
-
Jason Kendall is at least prime GIDP material, on the off chance the Cubs can turn it. Piniella is really getting his just desserts with pen management tonight. Relievers do best when given their own inning, and mop-up men do not belong in close games.

Results-oriented thinking is tempting, but the move was right or wrong regardless of Marquis' performance tonight. -
Season over.
-
Not completely. Part of SLG's value is that it advances other runners. We'd have to add some weighted version. He's producing a lot more outs offensively than they imply.
-
I wish he'd stop doing all manner of stupid crap around 2nd base to keep costing the Cubs runs. he's still having a pretty good year at the plate. Take away his outs on the basepaths and caught stealings from his OBP and I wonder where he'd be. It's funny, Theriot has become the player that stats massively overrate.
-
It does. Thou shall not wish for your team to put it's best players on the field. If it helps, I'll sign some sort of karmic pact whereby I get a matching injury to Theriot if it keeps him out of the lineup forever.
-
I don't feel the slightest bit bad about wishing for an injury on Theriot that is just severe enough to keep him out of the lineup, but no more. If that makes me a bad person, so be it.
-
A game of war where one man mysteriously stacks his deck with 70% diamonds and hearts, and the other removes all the Jacks for sixes.
-
Wow. Just wow. That's just pathetic. It's pathetic that management's idiocy forces us to hope for these things to happen in order to get our best players on the field. Meanwhile, Carlos Marmol is protecting three-run leads while our mop-up guy is pitching in one-run games.
-
I'm not going to say how I feel about the possibility of Theriot getting hurt on the same day Fontenot gets PT over Cedeno.
-
Pie is officially the permanent victim of selective memory. Once the "long swing" meme got into fans' heads, every strikeout will be blamed on it.
-
Theriot will do something so gritty and worthless it takes two runs off the board retroactively.
-
Not sure. When the ground ball puts a fielder and the baserunner hitting the same spot at the same time, whose responsibility is it to avoid a collision?
-
Well, this rivalry just got interesting. Will Pie be painted soft or will this make him beloved by Cubs fans?
-
The fact that Marquis is a pitcher who can make contact unnerves me.

I think people are cheating a bit using WHIP to judge Hill at the moment, sort of like how BA equivocates to assume all hits are equal. If we want to use peripherals, Hill's walk totals are unacceptable, his K rate is adequate and his HR rate is solid. That's a mixed picture at worst.
