Ronny with a walk

I'm shocked. As much of a Ronny hater I am, I can't complain one bit about him so far. I hope he doesn't do anything to change my mind :)

Ronny has done some good things

the last two games. Granted, he's no Einstein, but he's actually reaching base.

I know that most of BCB will disagree with me

but I don't mind seeing an occasional airmail throw from a fielder trying to make a great play. I'd rather see a guy be aggressive and make mistakes than playing passively and not making any plays. Ramy's error was really the bad one that inning.

DOnt forget our team hit like 8 home runs in April last year with

Yes but....

Home runs don't always win games. To be a good team, you have to be able to hit in all kinds of situations. Sacrifice Flies, Sacrifice Bunts, hit to the right side of the infield, etc. That is something that this team is terrible at...until that happens we are medicore

Well

Its a giant oversized bright green suit. Remeber last year when the fam behind the plate in AZ had the flashign Cubs clock and got escorted away? Thats what I would equate this DAMN PARROT to. Using something beyond normal gear allowed into a stadium to distract the players. It just seems like an unfair advantage for the home team mascot to be behind the plate. But for all I know the s.o.b. will get a raise. You notice both time that DAMN parrot was doing it the pitcher on the mound gave up a game tie'ing Home Run......

if a fan was standing in the isle like the parrot was and the fan was waving a poncho or sign, security would remove the fan from the isle. If a fan cant do it then why should the home team mascot be able to. At this point.... WHO CARES! F ' THE PARROT CUBS WIN!!

I actually looked into it today...

...as Baseball-Reference.com has added a bunch of new splits, including how well a player does bunting. Soriano has something like 17 bunt attempts in his career, with 3 hits and 2 Reach On Errors. If you think he can continue that, having him bunt is probably a pretty good idea - his OBP would be right around where it's at from having him swing away.

He had a chance there

saw two pitches and grounded out. I hope he gets it going one of these days.

Not really.

The spot beams they use to carry the HD feeds for the regional sports networks don't have as much bandwidth, and so I doubt they have an HD alternate for the RSNs.

Sorry, I just got home. Pulled up Gameday and I see the Cubs have 25 runners left on base tonight...Is that accurate? Is it some sort of mistake on gameday?? I can't believe it...I know the Cubs have always been notorious for leaving ducks on but...wow.

Demp threw 98 pitches...

...67 for strikes. Looks like he threw very well, but i'm just looking at stats. I'm concerned with Ronny's E in the 8th, did that lead to anything? I'm sorry for bringing it up again, but I just tuned in.
