Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds, May 5, 2008 6:10 PM CDT
Afternoon headlines:
- Roger Clemens says he's sorry. A little late for this, buddy. Smacks of spin/damage control. My head is spinning.
- Despite the new ballpark in DC, Nationals attendance figures are disappointing.
- The Cubs and rooftop owner Tom Gramatis settled their dispute out of court; I suspect that Gramatis knew he couldn't win.
- Lou says Alfonso Soriano is a similar hitter to his old Yankee teammate Bobby Bonds. Well, except that in his one Yankee season, Bobby Bonds walked nearly three times as often (89) as Soriano has in 1+ seasons with the Cubs (36, so far). Lou: please get Soriano in the #5 spot where he belongs!

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cueto started out great this year, allowing one hit to the Diamondbacks and striking out ten in his major league debut. Since then he's gotten progressively worse, going 0-3, 6.43 and allowing 5 HR in 28 IP. Dusty let him throw 55 pitches in 1.2 innings in his last start vs. the Cardinals. This will be his first appearance against the Cubs.
Ryan Dempster threw well enough, not great, against the Reds in Wrigley Field on April 15. While going six innings, he walked five; walks have been the Cubs' downfall the last few days, so Dempster has to have better command. Adam Dunn, in particular, walks a ton vs. Dempster: in 15 PA, he has walked nine times.
Today's game is on WCIU. Thus, you're out of luck in the Cubs' market area unless your EI feed (or MLB.TV) gets you FSN Ohio. More at the MLB.com Mediacenter.

Can us Iowans watch this game on mlb.tv?

Probably not
You should be blacked out of all Cubs games there AFAIK. Unless you play the proxy server game (which is likely a breach of contract move), you are likely out of luck.

Thank you India!
I’ve been playing that proxy game for years now and I don’t think MLB.TV is ever going to worry too much about it as long as your payment goes through. Up until this year the service wasn’t worth paying for with 5 teams blacked out a night here but MLB has finally relented on St. Louis and KC….and maybe the Twins, I just haven’t had any reason to check them out yet.
I could understand the move back in the day when we had 162+ games televised to us but with more and more games moved to local TV the blackout rules are insane. Proxies are also quite handy for national and postseason games as well.

I may have to see if I can find a creative way to sync the MLB.TV feed with the Gameday Audio stream of Pat and Ron. If I don’t, I’ll probably wake up tomorrow with laryngitis after screaming at the Reds’ booth morons all night.

Wow. I'm not terribly surprised, except to wonder what took the Tigers so long.
I do feel bad for the guy, though. It wasn’t his fault that Hendry brought him, his mediocre bat and bad throwing arm to Chicago. He was really a nice guy. Not his fault.

Al, you're right. They really do hate us.
I visited the site, and they’re all pissed about Dempster being 4-0. Anyway, check out this little game they have called “Whack a Cub”. Play it here:
http://www.red-hot-mama.com/2007-whack_a_cub.html
If you don’t whack enough Cubs at the end of the game, you get this: “You’re not very good at this or not trying. Sounds like you can make it in the Cubs rotation.”
Aren’t they silly? :-)
by zevkalman on May 5, 2008 4:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That's not fair
We don’t hate you. At least I don’t. I’ve had some great drunken discussions with the throngs of Cubs fans that show up at GABP.
The Dempster hate is justified, he wasn’t worth a damn in Cincy. Here’s hoping he walks in front of a mirror at some point before the game and realizes he’s Ryan Dempster.
Plus I’m too busy praying we don’t sign Jacque Jones for $3 million prorated to really hate anyone right now.
Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.

Oh but think of the fun you
could have watching Jacque throw the ball such that it lands 20 feet in front of him and rolls to the cut off man. You never, ever have to worry about him missing the cut off man. It’s loads of fun!!

Line-up
would like to see Cedeno at 2b instead of Fontenot. But I can’t really blame Lou for not putting him in there since Fontenot has hit well the last few days. Lets hope Cueto continues his recent struggles, and Dempster keeps being very hard to hit(172 against this year).

Flip flop
Soriano and Fontenot. I want Ronnie in there, but Fonty’s been getting on a lot lately. Thought Felix should have started last night against Wellemeyer. Hope he gets a few hits.
Let’s go boys – get a lead early and cruise – need a win!!!

Reminds of an old Second City routine
this is gonna date me of course but Second City always used to have
one good Cub skit in every show.
One year they had Dave Kingman striking out ON A PICK OFF PITCH TO FIRST
( while Buckner crawled back to 1st) that is what I think Soriano would do if he could.
by Doggie Stalker on May 5, 2008 5:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Believe it or not
Soriano only had 2 HR and 4 RBI’s this time a year ago in alot more AB’s. The big difference is Soriano was hitting 303. This year he’s hitting 173 with 3 HR and 10 RBI’s, I’m he will get hot very soon and bring his average up. But people on here gotta stop with Soriano not in the leadoff comments, the guy is there and it’s pretty much set in stone at least for a while.
by cubsfan25 on May 5, 2008 5:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
You're not comparing the same thing...
...you said so…he was hitting .303 last year…and this year he’s half that. That doesn’t justify leadoff material.

Lou's Genius Plan to Develop Felix Pie
Sit him against the righty pitchers with fringe stuff that left-handed batters tee off on. Play him against strike out machine phenoms, then shrug your shoulders, say, “I tried everything I could to get him to succeed, now go get me a guy who can hit the durn ball!”
by DGU on May 5, 2008 6:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
He's starting against
A guy with a 5.35 ERA. No excuses are needed. It’s not like he’s just starting against Webb. There are many flame throwers in the majors, and that doesn’t guarantee they are good pitchers. Bottom line: Pie is getting a chance against a rookie RHP. I see no reason to criticize that.
by Luis on May 5, 2008 6:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Cueto's a rookie pitcher who has done very well and not so well
Today could easily be a day where he does well. My criticism is about the last 4 RHP – the two most likely to strike out even the best ML hitters are the ones Pie has started against. The two that a LH batter is most likely to demolish he has sat against. Is that the plan you use if you want a young player to grow in his confidence and succeed or the plan you use if you want an excuse to banish a kid?
by DGU on May 5, 2008 6:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
My thoughts exactly
Guys like Josh Fogg and Kyle Lohse are exactly who Felix needs to play against. Instead we get to keep watching Reed Johnson put up that sweet .267/.328/.380 line against right-handers.

Dempster
is always going to walk his share of people. The difference compared to this year and years past with him starting, is he has been much tougher to hit. When you walk a bunch of people and teams hit 260-290 against you, your gonna struggle. If you walk people, teams only hit 170 against you, and you get ground balls your going to be ok still. For example in Dempsters one good season as a starter teams only hit 243 against him. If Dempster can stay hard to hit and teams only hit 230-240 off him he might stay good.

He also said
The Cubs had lost 4 in a row coming into tonight. That may have been mentioned earlier, but Thommy and his buddy are irritating me so much I need to vent somewhere. You’d think the standings werre flipped with the way they are ripping the Cubs. It’s like they have a list of bullet points and are ticking them off one by one. It’s truly a joy to listen too.

he’s out and out wrong about a lot of what he says, but he says it so arrogantly—it’s highly ironic. It’s almost as if his tone says “How dare you disagree with me” every time he speaks.
