so what if it’s been 15 straight innings. We were shut out yesterday. WE KNOW. Today is a new game. Yesterday has no bearing on what happens today.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)
Here come the Boos.
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living." - Alvin Dark
Ball gets past Micah
"I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game.'" - Jim Leyland
I have a feeling...
We’re gonna hear that a hell of a lot this year where Hoff is concerned…
- Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
- Germans?
- Forget it, he's rolling.
He's almost as good at RF as Theriot is at SS.

Sori's is only .917 fielding thus far

I don't recall
anyone scoring twice on a Sori error. Context matters.

He'll be around later i'm sure...
… suggesting we send DLee to AAA or trade Bradley or something else. He swoons for Hoff so hard that this won’t affect him though, i’m sure.

And i can only hope...
… i’ll be able to track that play down you YouTube so i can present it as evidence of his ignorance at that point. I get it, dude can hit. So trade him to a team for something of value, because in our division, you gotta hit AND field.

Gameover
Stupid Hoffpauir just pulled a Soriano and let the ball get by him! Hoff is a DH or PH at best. Our bench is horrible.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Oh Clutche
there’s the proof you were asking for

one error big deal

He clearly misjudged an earlier one, too
which lead to the first run

Dear Mr Hoffpuair,
The American League has a Designated Hitter program. Thought you might be interested.
Sincerely,

Good thing we got rid of DeRosa!
We’re getting excellent production out of 2B and RF!!!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Yes, it is a good thing
we got rid of DeRosa. After all, he’s hitting .226 right now. That’s the logic, right?
by Not Bruce Froemming on Apr 23, 2009 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Wrong! it's .212!!
Hoff is a minor league stiff and Bradley is a major meague stiff.

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Zambrano sucks
he’s way overpaid and is not an ace #1 pitcher…honestly, i wouldn’t care if we traded him. he’s done

Still
two innings left. Plenty of time to turn it around

I've watched most games this year
but it’s too late for them to come back from 3 runs down in the 7th. They’ve came back before this year, but not this much.

4 runs really shouldn't be insurmountable
but the way they’ve been hitting the last two days…………
