Hopefully we clog the bases and lower the Corey-O-Meter tonight.

OK, This is my rant for tonight: Why is DeRo batting 8th?
Lou’s excuse for not batting him #2 is that he is good at driving in runs. Dome isn’t getting on base, so who is DeRo going to drive in?
Let Dome bat 8th if he’s just going to play for his glove.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Nice explanation,
but why does Lou say the opposite?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
He may actually be trying to get Dome some better pitches as well
For the record I would like to se DeRo bat second as well.
Missouri Tigers 2008 Cotton Bowl Champs
Lou is managing the team with the best record in MLB....
the offense is at or near the top of just about every offensive catagory…I trust him.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Aug 19, 2008 7:15 PM CDT up reply actions
Sorry, I'm just sick of seeing him screw DeRo every chance he gets.
I wish DeRo would complain once in a while, just so that Lou would stop treating him like a dog.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
What the hell are you talking about? Screw DeRo? Treating him like a dog?
Kinda over the top…if you ask me. And you didn’t.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.
by santoswoodenlegs on Aug 19, 2008 7:18 PM CDT up reply actions
Why does he always have to move?
Why not have utility players that, you know, are utile. Starters should have a set position. He was promised 2B, and that promise didn’t last 3 weeks.
DeRo has said that he doesn’t like playing OF. Why was he playing OF when Sori was hurt and Murton was anchoring the bench? Why not just play him at 2B and let him be a productive 2B?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
dunno if I'd say it was to
screw him. DeRosa is just that guy where, well, he’s gotta go somewhere. Lou knows he can put him almost anywhere.
Dood plays MLB baseball for the best team in the MLB. I don’t think he thinks he’s getting screwed.

DeRo has a 1.095 OPS for Aug.
Dome has a .429 — yes, that is his OPS for Aug.
Why should a hot hitter who is a fastball hitter be batting 8th where he won’t see a fastball, while a guy who is batting like a pitcher (actually, Harden’s OPS is higher for Aug.) gets “protected”?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Because Lou
knows that DeRo can make lemonade from lemons, and Dome needs more opportunities?

Then you might as well bat DeRo 9th.

Cards and Brewers style
I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!
that would give Sori
RBI opportunities.
There’s only nine spots to bat. I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t think DeRosa would suggest that he’s unahppy with batting 8th. He’s batting all over the order, and doing very well.
Our 2008 Chicago Cubs -- FINDING WAYS TO WIN!
by drewishdrewid on Aug 19, 2008 7:39 PM CDT up reply actions
Actually, I heard him on one interview
(right after the ASB) say “I hope I’m not the one who’s batting eighth”. It’s just like the OF: DeRo doesn’t like it, but he will do it without complaint. That’s why he gets walked on by Lou.
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
DeRosa is just about my favorite player
I know he’d love to bat 2nd or 5th. But it’s his ability to go anywhere and bat anywhere that makes him so valuable, and if that’s what it takes to get some rings here in Wrigley, then by all means, bat him 8th.
It’s not a demotion. It’s spreading your offense out over the entire lineup.

Don't guys learn to bunt in little league anymore? I did
Fat , drunk , and ,stupid is now way to go through life son.
He is from Canada so they might not bunt there
Also a whole career in the AL doesn’t help
Missouri Tigers 2008 Cotton Bowl Champs
yep. he's fully aware of his bunting insufficiencies
remember his first time bunting? He looked into the dugout as if to say, “OOOKaaay…. heeereee goooes.:”
He played OF from little league all through high school I believe, so you would think...
Then again, he’s a career ALer and the A’s don’t believe in bunts, so maybe that erased them from his memory.

I think we can call that half innning a tribute to Dusty
.Now can we get back to Cubs version 2008!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Letting Cueto off the hook
The guy gets rattled easy and starts getting wild and they’ve basically bailed him out. This is the team we all fear will show up in playoffs ROUND 1. C’mon guys, get harden a couple runs that is all he needs
100% agreed Lou will prolly had some words with both of them already

Dome can still play some D, I will give him that no question
Missouri Tigers 2008 Cotton Bowl Champs
that's valuable in and of itself
but I never forgive Sori for his D in spite of his stellar O so go figure
stupid question/comment
I’ve noticed Cueto and Sabathia wear their hats kinda cockeyed, crooked, not centered square with their foreheads. Am I just overly anal retentive, or is that kind of… odd.
A lot more pitchers seem to do that more these days
Just keeping up with the current fashion trends.

If Brenly mentions one more time
how great it is that Dome hasn’t let his awful offensive performance (I seriously can’t remember the last time he came through with a a) clutch RBI hit 2) two-out RBI hit) affect his fielding I will lose it. No one cares. Reed Johnson would do just fine out there, and maybe actually get a hit now and then.
