  1. Nice Murton. Swing at the first pitch. Sorry Murton lovers, but he sucks. He can't hit for power and he can't hit for average. On top of that he's not too bright (swinging at the first pitch after the guy in front of him had a 7 or 8-pitch at-bat.
  2. I do hope you realize that Cain is 5-13 and Zito has an ERA of close to 5. You don't get 13 losses by being THAT nasty. This is a last place team we're talking about here. They should be sweeping these bums, especially with Z on the mound.
  3. resign for an awful '99/'08 What a great comparison. It's been a good deal, and Kendall has done a good job, but I'm afraid of the re-signing. Didn't the Cubs try to convert Tyler Houston into a 3B, and Gaetti's signing was a stopgap until Houston was ready? Or was it just a platoon situation? With Geovany Soto coming up Sep. 1 and Hank White signed for next season, I don't think there's any danger of Kendall being resigned. We are talking about Hendry though, so I suppose anything's possible.
  4. (shuffles papers) (long pregnant pause) RACK THAT POST! Seriously, I don't care what Ryan says. I'm still calling him The Riot.
  5. Considering it took Morgan what, 18 or 19 seasons to accumulate 5 GG's, and Sandberg won almost twice as many in five fewer seasons, I'd say only a fool would try to argue that Morgan was a better fielder. The only reason Morgan gets the run he does is: 1.) He played on several excellent teams, and had a lot of postseason experience with which to gain notoriety. 2.) He's on television every damn Sunday night. 3.) Never stops telling others how great he was. Morgan has a massive inferiority complex. I can't stand the SOB, and it's undoubtedly people like him who keep guys like Ron Santo out of the HOF.
  6. These are the kind of wins that can only help a team's confidence going into the stretch drive.
  7. They didn't leave first place. They were just tied before.
  8. I think the Cubs are 1-7 in extra inning games this year. Not good.
  9. Lee looks completely lost at the plate anymore. Like he can't figure out how to go after the outside pitch.
  10. Nasty. Just nasty. Now let's get some freakin' runs!!!
  11. Zito's ERA is almost 5. This is effing ridiculous.
  12. Hall just doubled with one out in the ninth.
  13. he's in a hurry to get back to Des Moines And why wouldn't he be? The nightlife here is amazing!! (crickets)
  14. I love being able to see you guys talk about what I haven't heard yet on the audio feed online. :D
  15. Remember when Lee was an legitimate offensive threat, and not just a singles hitter?
  16. Wouldn't you know it. When the Cubs need the D-Backs to keep playing well, they step all over their d*cks.
  17. Remember when everyone said he was terrible defensively? He's nearly a GG-caliber 3B now.
  18. Santo apparently a big fan of JAG...who knew?
  19. I don't understand what it is about mediocre, soft-tossing lefties that confounds this team.
  20. Jerk. I'm still stuck with Marquis Tuesday night, for which I will be closer to home plate than the first baseman will be. Maybe they won't even try to play tomorrow and I can still see Lilly for that game. Z only threw 44 pitches tonight (pretty much like a side session between starts). He could very easily be ready for Game 3 of the series.
  21. Another question: Since this isn't an official game now, is this really an official game thread? :P
  22. Horrible, judging from some of the earlier posts in this thread. They'll be lucky to get the game in tomorrow. Yikes. Just what the Cubs don't need: an impromptu doubleheader sometime in the next month and a half on a scheduled day off.
