Maybe this is part of the Cubs fine for not telling MLB that their draft choices were actually playing baseball....

Dear Cubs Fans,

Do to you guys being so dissapointed in how the team has been playing, we have decided to stop showing Cubs games. When you step back from the ledge, we may resume a video feed.

Sincerely,

The New WGN

So let’s score like Chicago votes - early and often - so I can get to bed at a resonable hour with a nice lead.

Most often, 7th.

5th and 6th tied for 2nd.

They always seemed to pick each other up

and add Koyie Hill and Jason Dubois so half the position players had played on the big club.

Hope he makes it back soon

he’s never going to hit big league pitching if they never give him the shot to

by jajonez77 on Jul 22, 2008 8:44 PM CDT   0 recs

Reaching would be ok if he would just hit the ball instead of trying to pull it....

seems that he rarely hits to right anymore…

So you think pulling outside pitches instead of hitting them to right is the right approach?

well it is a valid point

swinging and hitting a weak grounder on the first pitch of your first at bat doesnt set yourself up very well for the second at bat
