Where's your Felix Pie NOWWWWW (using my best Edward G. Robinson from The Ten Commandandments voice)?

Chicago-cubs-blue-logo_tiny by MDBNIU on

Okay Pie lovers, why hasn't he been called up now that the Iowa Cubs are finished in the Journeyman Wonder League playoffs, er I mean Triple A playoffs?    Lets see what that pile o' crap Pie can do this go around.   Even Pie deserves a farewell tour before he heads off to play for the Triple A team of the Washington Nationals or Yomuiri Giants next season.   

75 words are about 73 more words then I want to waste on Felix Pe.   But duty and honor necessitate that I keep on typing until the warning box goes away.

Wow...

I have no love for Pie, but this seems a bit harsh. Felix must have done something to your family in a previous life…

I really see no reason to call him back except to pinch run. No need to take any ABs away from Johnson or Edmonds at this point.

Way back... outta here!!!

by Chubby Hugs on Sep 8, 2008 4:10 PM CDT   0 recs

Maybe as a late-inning defensive replacement, too?

I suppose

He is not a huge step up from Johnson, but I suppose you could put Johnson in LF for defense and Pie in CF.

He adds little value though. If we don’t see him it won’t bother me.

Where does this leave us for next year though?

Way back... outta here!!!

A defensive centerfielder of his caliber...

…adds a lot of value in my book. I’ve been trying not to comment too much on the postseason until the Cubs actually clinch a spot, but how great would be if, when the Cubs are leading late in a game, Lou could put RJ in left, Pie in center and Dome in right? That’s a pretty solid defensive outfield right there.

he is a HUGE step up from Johnson

he’s got the arm, which Johnson does not, and he’ll make catches on the run that Johnson will have to dive for.

Never mind the amazing leap up from Edmonds that he’ll be.

Even though a tad on the harsh side

Where is Felix? I have a sad feeling the guy will never hit major league pitching.

Well right now he and Harden

have been as much help to the Cubs in the last two weeks. Clearly Lou does not want Pie
as he did not want Eyre, Lieber etc. The fact that Pie is NOT called up when he clearly would have use ( speed, defense) is indicative of how Lou allows his emotions to get the
better of his baseball judgement. Who would rather have on the roster Pie or Howry ?

But continuing personal attacks seems pointless and silly.

There’s zero need for it.

Why even enter his post? Seriously.

I agree

I don’t agree with what he says but his viewpoint is valid, as far as I’m concerned.

I just don’t get the hatred.

Had you been around for the nasty personal attacks on Sue...

… you’d understand. He was banned for the last one. What Sue did was pretty tame in comparison.

I'm sure you're right Al

But it would still be great if EVERYBODY could refrain from personal attacks on this site. I, for one, have a lot better time here when it’s just about baseball and the Cubs and the drama is left at the door.

by bluekoolaide on Sep 8, 2008 6:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Exactly

It’s wrong of him to attack people, too, but just coming into his post purely to insult him doesn’t seem to be any better.

Vicious cycle.

Yeah I hate the drama

right after a Cub loss where the truest Cub fans come in here and call the players names and say the team sucks. That’s so pleasant. Then there are some who if you disagree with them call you an idiot. Wish they would leave that kind of drama at rhe door too.

The real question is...

…did you stay for the whole game on Saturday? And if so, how did Gabbert look?

by PurpleLineToWrigley on Sep 8, 2008 4:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Ok took a while for a response

I left a halftime, Bad fan bs be damned, that second half would have been boring as hell. I did have some friends stay. They said Gabbert looked like a freshman, but showed promise and a strong arm. Chase Patton looked pretty good as well (at least thats what I was told). Pinkel really scaled back the playcalling though because he didn’t want to run up the score.

by cubstoseriesby100 on Sep 8, 2008 4:27 PM CDT   0 recs

Agreed.

Most teams won’t make a roster move on their off day. Tomorrow around this time we’ll all know if Felix has been recalled.

Blue Mike is using a line from a character who turns out to be DEAD wrong on the most important issue in his life and mocks God ?. I mean I am atheist but a movie buff and I found this hysterical.

I imagine he’s at home, relaxing, and probably a tad sore from the long season. He may be watching Vikings v Packers tonight, or he may be playing some SPORE, a new game released last night. I imagine that’s what he’s doing tonight.

Felix should be brought up just to make Alfonso happy

I’ll bet the numbers show that Alfonso played better last season when Felix was up with the big club. The two were roommates last year and obviously good friends. Bring him up just to make your star happy for a couple weeks. Maybe get his bat going again (3HR game aside obviously).
