Just realized that....
….Mark Prior, Ryan Theriot and Geo Soto all came out of the same draft. Who woulda thought that Theriot and Soto would each make bigger contributions to the Cubs success than Prior.

This 2 game postponement might not be a bad thing
if we can make up the games after the ’Stros cool off. Or at least, the 2-day layoff disrupts their rhythm if we play there Sunday.
sounded like a HR listening to pat and ron...

Did we trade Lee back to the Marlns 3 months ago and no one told anyone? I mean seriously – WTF is with him?

i basically just think of him as theriot now, a bunch of singles with the occasional double

Russ Springer in

I like Springer because of his devotion to his special-needs son.
Good classy guy. Other than that, he’s a Cardinal, and I don’t wish him the best within a baseball diamond.
Even Cardinal fans
would agree that our bullpen is better than theirs. I hope it runs true to form tonight, but another run or two wouldn’t hurt.

Reasons for losses...
The Dismal Stats…
We have had really crappy two-out performance recently which has certainly compounded our losses over the last three weeks. As Lou says, “We’re just not getting it done.”
Here is our everyday Cubs, and their clutch stats, two out, RISP – to Date:
SORI – .193
DLEE – .222
ARAM – .278
SOTO – .140
DeRosa – .268
TheRiot – .218
As I said, imo, we’ll make it into the playoffs, and once again, that will be all.

Nice job on the stats.
I agree that they look pretty dismal.
But if I wanted to be a devil’s advocate I’d remind you that maybe those guys are in a slump, and those numbers will get better soon?
I think that's a good point
I don’t know what the numbers looked like earlier in the year, but if we’re winning with those numbers, think about the runs when we’re not stranding all those guys.

Just throwing this out there....
and I am sure that many BCBers already pointed this out as I am just not diligent enough to be here regularly……but, don’t you think that the scouting report on our hitters (especially DLee) is to just throw outside all day and all night? They keep on trying to pull everything (especially DLee) and that would explain the overabundance of ground balls and weak singles (expecially from DLee).
Again, I am sure that this has been brought up ad nauseum, but I had to throw it out there because I am an idiot, and even I have noticed that every pitcher for the past two weeks just throws about 5 of 6 pitches to the outer half (or way off) of the plate.
