  1. Yea I like Z's chances better than Fontenots sub .600 OPS Umm, Fontenot doesn't have a sub 600 OPS. since the All Star break he does
  2. Problem is, its basically the same plate approach they have shown the entire year.
  3. Lmao yup Hamels makes it thru the 8th without getting to 110 pitches. 7 pitches seen wow
  4. Yea I like Z's chances better than Fontenots sub .600 OPS
  5. Yea how about we know the truth about what happened before jumping to conclusions like that.
  6. Yes and hes only at 103, they probably figure the Cubs will make 3 outs before he reaches 110
  7. Well, hopefully this is the last time we see Cherry, and we get the new RH pitcher Thurs for the pen
  8. How many pitches is that for Hamels?Can we please get him out of there. How can a team with hitters like Soriano Lee Aram DeRo suck so damn badly against left handed starters gah!
  9. Wow I didnt know Bielema was from Prophetstown. Thats not too far from me, and Sully Im sure you know it too
  10. When?Are you talking about the quad injury a couple days ago?
  11. Lol it helps to read the whole post, I just skimmed it at first lol
  12. Team isn't exactly hovering around .500 anymore... check the standings you are wrong. They are yet to reach 10 over, all it takes is a 3-4 game losing streak and they are right back down there. Add a 4 or 5 game winning streak and they have the best record in the NL. Gotta look at it both ways... Having the best record in the NL, is kind of like having the best tasting poop. Id rather push us to being a top team in the Majors, but if just hopeing to make the playoffs is ok with you then thats fine. I have a little higher standards, and its right there for the taking, but instead Hendry would rather sit back and "hope". I love posts like this. You have absolutely NO idea what Hendry has looked into and what trade opportunities he has explored. We are still 20+ hours away from the deadline. Who knows what he may be looking at. This isn't a defense of Hendry, but to emphatically state he's "hoping" without having any idea what he may be up to is silly. Well said Bruno. Keener you come off looking incredibly foolish here. a) you don't have any proof whatsoever that "Hendry would rather sit back and hope". Much more likely is that he's working the phones aggressively looking for a deal or two that would help the team, if the price is right. b) you don't have the foggiest idea what offers are out there, so to criticize the Cubs if they stand pat is just utterly absurd. Standing pat would be far, far smarter than sending Marmol for Dye, or Pie for Laird. Whatever Hendry or anyone else has said so far about being happy with the guys they've got, blah blah is just a bunch of cliche. Of course they're going to say that. It doesn't mean a thing. Ok so when does it come more than cliche? Tomorrow after 3 pm when the deadline has passed, and the Cubs have made no deals? I will be the first one to say i was wrong if Hendry makes a move, but I dont see it happening. He thinks we are fine with Cliff Floyd in right because he is "hopeful his power will come back". Hes happy with Jones "because hes had a hot month". Hes happy with Angel. Those quotes are straight from Hendrys mouth, and I truly think he believes it. Like I said if Im wrong Ill admit it, but I doubt Im wrong.
  13. fixed Wow. You're hilarious. No seriously, I can't stop laughing. wasnt trying to be funny, but glad you got some laughs. although the statement is true
  14. Soriano did the same thing we sending him to AAA? maybe just a slight difference in talent level. I understand that but I dont here anybody else saying Soriano was stupid for swinging. You cant have it both ways Of course you can. Talented players always get more leeway in sports. That is how it works. Uh, so Soriano wasn't stupid for swinging at the first pitch? He certainly was in my mind. Actually, I've constantly said Soriano has one of the worst plate approaches I've ever seen. Doesn't make him not good, but he certainly doesn't have much of a baseball IQ. But that isn't the argument..the argument is calling for a player to be sent to AAA. You are not going to send Sori to AAA, however, Cedeno will be in DesMoine shorly if he does get his head out of his arse. Cedeno's skills aside, I don't think we can send him down, realistically. Who else is going to take that role on the team? The only adequate shortstop on the team is Theirot and he needs some days off. Tejada 8-) Our offense is fine, Jimbo is happy, havent you heard?
