It IS a playoff game . . .

But 2 runs is not much for this team. Really, this game should have been tied two innings ago with the way Demps came out of the gate. Way too much nerves. Just plug away and tie it first, then we will talk about getting on top again.

I'm serious

Having one of your best pitchers limp through halof of the game doesn’t exactly lead to a relaxed offense. I mean, I would be thrilled if the offense could recover the way they did after Zambrano’s last start; but this being the first game of the post season, I don’t see it happening.

I didn't like this ump from the moment he was announced.

Someone last night posted ump ratings and this guy has one of the tightest strike zones in the league. And with Demp’s effective wildness, I didn’t think it would bode well. But I thought the Cubs would be more patient with Lowe.

For 2009? Teixiera, obviously.

But really, there are plenty of hitters around the league who would be an improvement. Adding a guy like Teix would mean finding a taker for Lee’s salary, which is probably impossible.

Raul Ibanez would be a major improvement.

And you're right, of course.

It’s clear that the scouts do see that Lee can’t hit outside pitches and breaking stuff – because he’s seen a steady diet of it since May, and has utterly failed to adjust.

In what respect is Ibanez worse than Lee?

He hits for the same average/OBP and more power. 1B defense is seriously overrated.

Gold Glove defense at any position is never over rated.

You obviously don’t pay much attention to the games & the runs Lee has saved for us. His glove has kept the Cubs in games for a few years now.

I'll absolutely grant that.

He’s been very good defensively – he’s won 2 GG and counting for the Cubs. But his defense has slipped this season, (9 E), and he’s not going to improve with age.

And, as I’m sure we agree, 1B is one of the least important defensive positions. They’re all important, but 1B is a place to hide a big bat/mediocre glove guy, if you have to.

Seems to me that the key to this offense is Sori.

Hopefully, he’ll step up….

Sori will get those sliders for the rest of the series until he lays off...

Marshall

I think. Then we don’t have to use a pitcher for only 1 inning as the pitcher spot is up #2 in the 7th for us.

it's an average. so far we have 2 runs. maybe we'll have more at the end of the game. maybe not.

by cubsfaninatl on Oct 1, 2008 7:53 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

theres no way he should’ve gotten under it to get it up.

No my friend....

It’s can’t anyone get any clutch hits for “us” (the Cubs)?

agreed.

anyone who complains about the Manny HR on that pitch is crazy. that pitch was wasted at his ankles and Manny made a great swing on a pitcher’s pitch.

Wake up and watch the pitch again.

It was low, and Manny just happens to be a good bad ball hitter. It happens.

by storkysm on Oct 1, 2008 7:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Can't blame that one

that was just good hitting.

by cubsfaninatl on Oct 1, 2008 7:55 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

The dirt or mascot would of been a good pitch

Theriot leads off next

If anyone can get on base, it’s him. Plus, we can pinch hit the 9 hole.

(Still wondering how Dome got the #2 hole today…)
