All of the best things you can do as a hitter come from swinging the bat.

You don’t need to Dusty “smart hack” or whatever, but there’s no reason to just sit there and take pitches for taking pitches’ sake.

In fact, they should hit the ball for a home run BEFORE the pitcher delivers the ball!

6th in the NL

Theriot, Fonty, and Johnson = The Scrappy Pyramid of Victory

Anybody have the actual stats?

Sounds like that might be a misleading stat though. As the Cubs lead the NL (or maybe all of MLB) in OBP it stands to reason they’d hit into a lot of double plays because they have a LOT of men on base.

Hey, it's a new century!

I don't care how good the first pitch is. was that really the pitch he was looking for???

he did have much better patience early in the year. Now—ants in the pants.

I just wonder what his approach was in that at bat as he swung at a breaking ball low in the zone—what was he looking for?

THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!

It's amazing how good Dempster has been tonight...

considering he gets about a minute and a half rest in between his mound appearances.

Lou is threatening to bench Dome.

What do people here think of this:

“We need him to start hitting,” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said before Sunday night’s game against the Cardinals. “If not, I’m going to have to start looking for other options.”

You kid about it, I still think if you are gonna have D-Ward, you might as well sign Bonds

Better hitter, equal sucky fielding, Ward already gets Marquis to run for him.

Good, Dome needs to pick up his hitting.

I know he is a favorite son to most Cub fans, but we need him to hit. I don’t know who else could play, but its worth trying.

Season being the key word

He’s been horrible lately. Pitchers are catching up, and I think Lou’s point - and I agree with it - is that if Dome can’t adjust to the pitching adjustments, we need to find someone who can.

Colin,

Which do you think would be better, combining offense and defense?

1. DeRo at 2B, Dome in RF
2. DeRo in RF, Fontenot/Cedeno at 2B
3. RJ in RF every day, Edmonds in CF every day (if healthy)
