Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,

If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

BTW Z is...
almost halfway to the record of most home runs by a pitcher
Wes Ferrel holds it with 37
"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."

He pitched for quite a while though, didn't he?

funny, we are winning
and the ledge jumpers are nowhere to be seen.

then they wouldn't be around during an 11-1 game
claiming we’re going to somehow blow it. Right?

ReJo
in for Sori.
"That’s the great thing about baseball, you never know what’s going to happen till you get the final out." — Lou Piniella
Why take Soriano and Dome out
While keeping Bradley in? Take him out instead, let him rest. Wouldn’t that make more sense?
"The finish line is just the start of the next race."
seeing if he can actually play a full game?
see if he’s actually healthy again mayhap

Bradley is better
on D than Sori. I presume Dome is out because Gath needs the playing time.

Debatable.
Soriano’s UZR/150:
LF: 8.6
OF: 8.9
Bradley’s UZR/150:
RF: 15.8
OF: 8.4
I’m not gonna cite the THT article stating that Soriano is the best RF arm from 2008 for the umpteenth time, but they are both above average corner fielders. I’d take Soriano right now this season, because he’s healthy.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
Correction: Soriano is the best LF arm.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
And just to wrap it all up with the OFs:
Gathright:
LF:16.9
CF: 9.6
OF: 10.9
Joey is a very good defensive OF.
Johnson:
LF: 23.8
CF: -17.1
RF: -7.1
OF: 6.2
Reed is an interesting case, because he has a N in the hundreds for every OF position, but really struggles in CF. And we never put him in LF
Dome:
CF: -30.3
RF: 11.7
OF: 7.0
Apparently Dome isn’t as good a CF (24 games) as we thunk.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
fwiw
Reed is in left right now.
I still say we had a great center-fielder in Pie.

He played almost 50 games in LF in 2008, I was wrong.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
And Pie is only a 5.7 UZR/150 outfielder.
But the Orioles probably have the best defensive outfield with Pie, Jones, and Markakis all 5+ UZR/150 outfielders; all are very fast and have good arms.

prior post i made
these 3 1/2 innings are too small of a sample to say the season is not over there is no reason to expect the Cubs to win again. All this game was, is another meaningless game, to raise up our hopes, jsut to crush them like so many paper beer cups. I do not know why they even won this game, since they know they will not win again. MB got a hit, so what, he wont get another until July 37th, mark that down, so when I say I told you so, you know i am right. If anything, Lou should be fired for letting the Cubs score too many runs tonight. We all know that you can only score a certain amount of runs a series, and he used them all this one game, how stupid, fireh im now.

I buy one official jersey every year.
This year it will be an away blue jersey, and I’m leaning “Johnson”…but I’m afraid that it’s such a random name it’s not immediately known by fans. Maybe Soriano would be a good investment, considering he’s with us til 2014. I’ll be buying mine from you, that is if you can ship it to Kansas.

I was thinking along the lines of:
You run screaming from the clown go to page 3.
You think the clown is friendly and follow him go to page 4.
The clown freaks you out a bit so you send your brother off with him, go to page 5.

I'm all 4 it...
….and to my anti-mantra……….levae runners on base left, right and center,,,,,just score most of’em…
leaving 14 or 15 out there when scoring 10/11 doesn’t hurt…it’s leaving 8 or 9 out tther when not scoring that does…
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
And the Cubs faithful rise to their feet....

Here's a break for the Cubs,
the Astros put Valverde on the DL and Hawkins will be the fill-in closer. Looks like he will be on the DL when the Cubs go to Houston on their next road trip.
