An interesting stat for someone to look up...
  1. of bunts attempted or successful by the Cubs in comparison to rest of the league… seems like we never bunt.

by GoCubbies34 on May 4, 2008 8:30 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

Cubs have 21 bunt attempts on the season...

...with 3 hits and 13 SH.

In the NL this season there have been 357 bunt attempts, 210 SH, 50 hits and 11 reached on error.

mcuh for pujols never having a extra base hit against marquis

by dariot2 on May 4, 2008 8:32 PM CDT reply reply   0 recs

did soriano fumble around with that

bcz you should never score from first on a base hit to LF

It seemed he trotted to the ball

I think he saw the Derby and didn’t want to get euthanized like belles for giving it all he has

Miller and Morgan

IMO they’re fine. The morgan bitterness gets me but overall I don’t mind them.

OK… can someone please explain why Jason Marquis is still in the rotation when there are far better options?

Great, now Morgan and Miller’s man-crush on Albert Pujols can go on forever.
BTW, I am now officially SOS-SIck of Soriano.

but I think I’ll hug my TV when we see Len and Bob again. I miss them.

why run on Molina, one of the best catchers at throwing people out, and not run on Kendall…

I like Theriot's scrappiness but his baserunning is pretty mediocre.

He got a real bad jump there. Nothing to do with Molina’s throw.

the scrappy white guy just made another out on the basepaths trying to break last year’s league-leading mark.

Can we give Cedeno a chance at SS?

Or does Theriot have to continue to ruin any chance of scoring runs.
