I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

I’m in a pissy mood for a variety of reasons, and the Cubs organization is not helping much. I’ll censor myself as much as I can and I hope you understand if something slips by.

So when a guy bats > .300 RH and < .200 LH
isn’t it time to consider just batting RH all the time? What’s this “lefty-righty” advantage here? I mean, Derrek Lee could take at-bats LH and do horribly too, but he doesn’t.
Look at his career splits....

Do the Sox have other than "worst" fans?
Sorry, I know that’s a meaningless generalization, but I can never root for the Sox again after their fans’ failure to support the Cubs in ’03.
Not that I hold onto stuff, mind you.

Yeah, I agree.
I thought it was cool the Series champ was from Chicago. Plus, I thought it meant the Cubs would win the following year, since it was going 3-2-1 on the “longest WS drought” list.

Not trolling
I have no intentions of disrupting the thread. But it’s kind of absurd to label White Sox fans as terrible because they don’t drop everything to support another team’s playoff ambitions. I distinctly remember hearing a LOT of taunting when the Indians were creeping up on the White Sox toward the end of the 05 regular season.
Making cracks about the size of our fanbase is a bit tired too. But carry on if it makes you feel better.
Thank God it's not Goat Boy again.
"You have to have short-term memory, no matter who you are in this game. There's always tomorrow." ~Derrek Lee
Please don't be like Sori, Jake
I’m worried that he might not be able to hit breaking balls, either.
It's gonna be interesting to see...
how Fox adapts as opposing teams get better scounting reports on him. I don’t doubt that he’s capable of adapting himself and continuing to be successful…or I hope so at least.
that'll be the biggest thing for him
He hasn’t seen many fastballs because the book is “pound him with offspeed.” When he’s been successful thus far, it’s when he’s laying off the breaking balls out of the zone.

I don't know what it is about infielders...
but they seem to have an inability to run to a spot the way outfielders are trained to do.
Instead they sort of hover with the ball, trotting…making it extremely difficult to catch the ball.
Nice throw!

Riddle me this, Batmen
When minor leaguers come up to the show, they should be aware of how much better the pitching is. So given that, why don’t they choke up on the bat at first and swing for contact until they get acclimated?
No one knows how to choke up anymore

we know he can.
at some point, I hope he will.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
