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.
yea but if you're not doing anything with teh pitches and carpenter is on a pitch count

everything the cubs do is a mistake – they should be ahead infinity to 0 if they were any good and know EXACTLY where the batter is going to hit the ball before he even comes up

In fact, they should hit the ball for a home run BEFORE the pitcher delivers the ball!
...and Fukudome should be batting 1.200

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.

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.

He’s hypnotizing the Cubs, and they’re just swinging wildly
isn't it weird how on baseball-reference that
alf soriano is the most comparable hitter to aramis ramirez . And their like completely different hitters kinda
Lou is threatening to bench Dome.

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

I think it's got to be done
Listen, I don’t like it anymore than anyone else, but if we want someone who can play OF and not hit, we’ve got Pie
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)

Honestly, I was thinking about this last week with Joba...
if a manager suddenly wants a pitcher out, then if he gets “injured” then the new pitcher gets as much time as he wants to warm up. That way if an inning gets out of control, he can get a new guy in there without warming him up in the bullpen. That being said, I heavily doubt that went on here. This inning was not out of control.

I have been thinking about an interesting idea for a running post for all of you who live in Chicago....
I am a cub fan who lives in St. Louis, and I don’t get to have many cub conversations with actual cub fans. One thing that I noticed years ago was that people in chicago were calling Joe Borowski “Joe Blowsaveski” towards the end. Now…..I liked the guy, but I thought that was a pretty funny twist on his name once things started going sour. Heck, my brother and I used to refer to Kyle Farnsworthless (much less catchy). What I was hoping to hear (and not to be negative) is what funny nicknames names you all used or remembered from cubs past players when they were slumping (feel free to leave current cubs off of it, I don’t want any negativity started here). However, I just have been wondering what entertaining names I have missed out on by not living there or attending games regularly. Do tell…

For the Record
I’m really hoping that Chris Carpenter is OK. I really admire how he keeps coming back from injury. I really hope he doesn’t miss a start.

I really hope not.
I don’t want cardinals fans to have any reason to give why we crushed them this year!

No it was a good call
they hadn’t gotten the ball yet.
If Edmonds had better wheels he’s in clear.

whoa i thought something was going down with jimmy and troy

Did Tony
just pull a Charlie Finley and yank his second baseman?

Just to play Devil's Advocate here...
Is it possible the pitcher would have pitched Soto differently with a man on third?
stop whining

Edmonds is such a class guy.
He thought he slid into Glaus’ leg, and before the play was over, you could hear him ask if he was OK….
Edmonds has been classy.
Why so negetive tonite wynn?
I think it’s just his face. - dat cubfan daver

No joke....I like the guy...
And making sure you didn’t hurt the guy with your slide was a class move….
Care to disagree???
it was
however he is a showboat (which doesn’t bother me) and i’m sorry, in my book being a showboat isn’t classy
Call it showboating.....
I don’t…..I saw it as more of saying …
Screw you, TONY!!!
There’s a difference between talking the talk, and walking the walk….
He walked it Friday afternoon.
okay and that's not a classy move....sorry
and let me repeat, it doesn’t bother me at all that edmonds is the way he is
he may show boat alot
but it doent mean he doesnt have class

No, he has conducted himself with nothing but class since he's been here....

how many times do you score 5 runs in an inning,
and have 2 dudes thrown out at third?
one, it is a cubbie occurance.....:)

You want to clear the pitcher in that situation

Do you still pitch Dempster this inning?
A good day for me is a cubs win and a sox loss.
two outs on the base paths...amazing
still 5 runs. could have been a touchdown or more.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
