I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.
three straight
balls to Quentin. then a strike and then he walked him.
I think Lilly’s shaken.

Problem is that our offense has been so anemic lately
that being down two runs in the third seems huge
yeah
We need some power from our 3 and 4 spots.

Lee has performed like a 6 hitter this year
bunch of singles, occasional double or homerun

Because they're still our two biggest hitters.
Slumps come and go, but when we’re facing a must-score situation you want Lee or Rami up there.

Let's not unwind just because Lily has thrown HR balls and Lee can't seem to hit anymore.
This is baseball. The game of averages, of statistics. We’ve got a good team, and with Hendry on the market for a pitcher, there’s going to be some changes! :-)
BTW, Marquis was good last start! I keep telling myself that :-)
Lee had 3 hits last night we know he can and will hit
Lilly has been giving up HRs all season long

He’s been striking out a TON lately, and the power’s not there either. Let’s get on his case here. Especially since Soriano is out.

but I am really frustrated by Lee and Ramirez. When Soriano went down, they did NOT step it up and produce during his absence. We are barely getting anything out of them right now. We need Soriano back!

I haven't given up and never will I'm a Cub fan I don't know how
Look my point is simple, Lou babies his superstar players. He talks a good game and has little patients with anyone else. Maybe a drop to the 5 hole would wake, The Ram up?

I think it would have the reverse effect.
Players are fickle and feel they perform better in certain situations. Look at Soriano.
I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

wich goes back to my point about
Lou and his studs. He doesn’t want to mess with their heads so he just leaves them. I just think it wouldn’t hurt to try, throw Geo in the cleanup spot for a day.

this makes no sence to me
And I’m leaving work now so peace out people.
I’m thinking 7th inning today that sound right.

Not just him.
ALL managers do this. Pujols ain’t getting moved to fifth or sixth just cos he’s in a slump.

You're right
I’ve been even more frustrated by Ramirez than I am Lee-up until recently he was always the guy I wanted up in big rbi situations-they both just seem in an unbelievable funk

Beat him by mere millimeters. If Ronny had stayed on his feet he'd probably be safe. I don't get why people try to slide. IT SLOWS YOU DOWN!

Swisher fields a grounder, flips it to Danks who beat a head-first diving Cedeno to the bag, rules the umpire.
Sinatro immediately arguing, now Lou is out.

Gotta love Lou....
first words outta his mouth: “what happened?”

You can use that

I'll be there.
Not always lucky, but if I sit just right...
