    Dexter's hammy is fine. He is, however, still smarting from getting hit in the junk with that kid's whiffle bat.
  2. PackLandVA
    Maybe they're recoiling him for eventual move to the pen.
  3. PackLandVA
    Can he hit a curve? Or lay off the slider down and away? Jorge wants to know.

    Where's the Bosio magic. Basically, his entire pitching staff has horsefeathers the bed for a couple of weeks now. Thought he was a genius??

    Joe wants to make sure Lester's rested for Tuesday.

    From Cubs.com: "Fowler, voted onto his first All-Star team, began a rehab assignment Friday night at Class A South Bend and went 0-for-2 with two walks. He did not have a setback in the game, but decided he needed more time and would not be ready for Tuesday's All-Star Game......

    And 5-14 in their last 19. Horrid.

    This is as exciting to me as the slam dunk contest in the NBA. They still have that, right?
  9. PackLandVA
    Ditto. It's so much easier to watch a sucky team with dreams of them being good one day than it is to watch a very good team play sucky for an extended period of time. :(

    Bill Buckner is my all-time favorite Cub! Was constantly trying to emulate his batting stance with a black whiffle bat as a kid.
  11. PackLandVA
    My, how times have changed. Wonder if the Cubs will win their 60th before their 40th loss. :(

    Manny Trillo and Jose Cardenal were my first two favorite Cubs. Love the way Trillo gloved the ball, took it out for inspection before side-arming it to first base. And Cardenal had one hell of a fro.

    Matt Carpenter just pulled in the second inning and replaced by Wong. Maybe an oblique. Not good for him/them.
  14. PackLandVA
    And the Reds, too.

    or coming out of the ASB.

    Mike Stanton pissed he was left off the All-Star roster (not really): 2 Dongs (412 & 417 feet) and 5 RBI. Fish up on the Mets 5-2 in the bottom of the 8th. Fernando Rodney gonna try not to blow another save opportunity game for his new team, though he gave up a dong in the bottom of the 8th.

    Seriously...I expected regression but damn. 1.1 IP 8 ER for Lester, 4 IP 10 ER for Hammel, now Lackey working on 2 IP 4 ER after 4.1 IP and 7 ER the last time out Second run in the first inning was unearned, I believe.

    for quite some time now, the opposing batters are getting the Cub pitchers into long ABs. Even when the Cub pitchers are throwing strikes, the opposing batters seem to do a good job of fouling pitches off.

    Maybe Pete Rose was right. Nah, he's a douche!

    League average, the runner scores 51% of the time. Cubs are at 53% of the time, which is tied for 10th in MLB. Cubs's BA is .373 in these situations, which is 7th in MLB. Thanks, I'm a bit surprised by this. Seems like the numbers would be worse. Maybe because it's so frustrating when they don't score, it just stands out more.
  21. PackLandVA
    Anyone have the stat/rank as to where the Cubs stand with scoring with a man on third and less than two outs? They seem to struggle very often.
  22. PackLandVA
    I don't know the stat, but the Cubs really seem to struggle scoring with a man on third and less than 2 outs. Anyone know where they stand compared to league average??
  23. PackLandVA
    Someone runs for Montero if he gets in scoring position, no doubt.
  24. PackLandVA
    Or maybe the game can go 15+ innings. Would love to see Bochy have to juggle pinch hitters/double switches just because he decided not to use the DH.
  25. PackLandVA
    After a taste of MLB pitching, I wouldn't mind Almora going back to AAA to play everyday. Maybe being up for a few weeks gives him a different perspective as to what he needs to work on at the plate (discipline, approach, etc.). He can always be recalled if keeping Szczur and/or Coghlan proves to be a mistake.
