  1. Holy Crap a Soto sighting! I like the lineup
  2. Could be, but then again, this is the last of the games against the good (ie non-NL Central) contenders that the Cubs have struggled against all year. And even if they lose both, the worst they will be is 1 game back. In theory, these are the games they are supposed to lose, and then the must wins will be against STL and the rest of the crappy central teams. So, even though they've also struggled against the NLC also rans, they will still be in this thing if they lose to LA. They will just put themselves in the difficult position of actually having to win some games, which has been proven to be very difficult for them this year. Its a 4 game series Goony, we have LA tomorrow afternoon as well.
  3. Lineup today should be interesting with Lous comments after the game last night. Also on Sundays pre game radio show he said he planned on resting Theriot today an tomorrow while letting Cedeno get some time.
  4. When Lou talks about speed, my guess is that he is referring to Pie, Fontenot, Theriot, Cedeno, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing Pie get another shot out in CF before this season is over. Defensively he is an improvement, and he is bound to break out with his bat. I would also think that Soriano would move to the middle of the order until he gets his legs back. Yea Im sure he talking about Pie, but against a lefty Id really be surprised to see him in there, and same goes for Fontenot. Like I said against a righty it would be alot easier for Lou to go to a "speed" lineup, but against a lefty I dont see how he could do it, and do it without putting players in a spot they shouldnt be in.
  5. Must run in the family Please enlighten us on how EPatt or CPatt have shown a garbage attitude?
  6. So because hes late to a game, he has a garbage attitude?
  7. I dont think anybody was surprised with the way he reacted too it, its pretty much what I expected. But like Ive said numerous times, I just felt it really odd that a player with Z's emotions, 2 hours later, would call out the fans for showing emotion in the heat of the moment.
  8. Lous reasoning behind the "speed" team is because of the Cubs hitting into so many double plays. He feels with the speed team, they can steal, and hit and run. I dont necessarily agree with this philosophy, I mean like Bruce says there really arent that many options. It was brought up about Soriano being on the move in the 1st but Lou said he thought about it, but because of his leg he didnt put the hit and run on. Well if thats the case and Soriano cant run he needs to be moved down to either 4th or 5th in the lineup, untill hes fully healthy. We face a lefty tonight, and Lou mentioned Sunday on the pre-game radio show, that he planned on giving Theriot today and tomorrow off and letting Cedeno start. If thats the case tonights lineup will be interesting.I think Id go with this Kendall Murton Lee Soriano Aram DeRosa Monroe Cedeno Lilly. However that lineup goes against Lous "speed" lineup, but I really dont see the speed options vs a lefty.
  9. Oh God Lou is now saying its because we dont have speed in our lineup why we cant score. We are now going to see a "speed" lineup, no clue what that sonsists of lol
  10. nice job of Hart to get out of Ohmans mess w/out much damage
  11. l bad for Hart, what a way to make your debut. Now this is when it would be ignorant of the fans there to boo this kid, who had nothing to do with this mess Ohman made.
  12. The sample size is way too little compared to the innings our pitchers have thrown to get anything from that
  13. Damn you Jacque for knocking the cover off the ball! did i say anything bad about jones? i come to this turd of a thread for two minutes and it's the same crap from the same people. Come on, the "shocking" comment wasn't towards Jones? What was shocking about it though? Jones has been cold for awhile now, and it wasnt shocking.
  14. sorry, but i'm not going to let people say crap like that totally unprovoked. especially when i said he pitched well. I dont blame ya, they immediatly started jumping on your case tonight. Rich Hill comments, etc....it was uncalled for.
  15. But what about our crappy offense vs their pen?
  16. He hasnt had a day off besides a team day off since in over a month. I think hes gassed and needs a rest.
  17. Good to see DeRo getting some hits again.
  18. My God did Aram have a piano on his damn back? He looked like he was barely moving. wow
  19. The Cards pen hasnt been their problem at all. Its been starting pitchers, their bullpen has been quite good actually
  20. He's looked better then any of our starters lately. Not Rich Hill. But yeah Trachsel isn't getting hit hard, he's been pretty unlucky. Pierre, Penny, and Furcal smoked the ball Just cause Furcal didn't bloop the ball in there didn't mean they smoked the ball. I know but they were all hard hit balls
  21. He's looked better then any of our starters lately. Not Rich Hill. But yeah Trachsel isn't getting hit hard, he's been pretty unlucky. Pierre, Penny, and Furcal smoked the ball
  22. Why in the hell is Trachsel batting?
  23. wow Kendall Im sure you faked them out big time there with your cannon of an arm.
