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 think
if Fukudome had been running on contact as well. It might have put more pressure on the third baseman to make a play. He might have hesitated on going to third, home, or first.

That's
probably right. Contact typically implies running on contact for everyone.

Watching the replays
on my iPhone he is really close to being safe. The throw was high he almost beat it. He def. was running on contact because he never hesitated.

In the pregame thread some guys were acting like it was the worst thing in the world.

To be fair
Even though I didn’t question it myself, Fuld didn’t have a great set of ML at-bats going into the game…

And you should listen to him speak. He has a big brain in there.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
He sounded great
on Waddle and Silvy yesterday. He not only sounded enthusiastic and intelligent, but was an interesting interview. He’s the bizarro-Cotts when it comes to interviews.
If he keeps playing well there,
It could set up a platoon at middle infield. Then again, I don’t think he’s an everyday player yet.

Short, no way
2B is doubtful as well. He won’t get the chance at any rate.
where in
the middle infield could he play? Because, while he can give Ramirez a breather when he gets back, Aramis won’t need a platoon.

How very true.
I meant, though, that he could play at third until Aramis comes back.

I can almost feel the hate for this
but excuse my ignorance…Does Rami have a NTC? I honestly don’t know if it’s been discussed (I can imagine it has), but why not go younger and healthier? Fox looks like he’s going to be a helluva player, so why not hold on to him and try to deal Rami? That would probably screw up the Rami to Vitters transition though, wouldn’t it?

Hey hey hey
Can’t see them, but so-so thus far. Wells is doing well and Fox is flashing some leather.

I like these kids. All have been pleasant surprises.
Wells, Blanco, HoffPower, Sam Fuld, McGeHee. Oh, wait. I see what I did there.

Finally - one time I don't mind getting Sirotterized...
he got Ron to start talking about Clemente. Always a good thing.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Amazing player. Best arm in RF I've ever seen.
Clemente, not Ron ;)

Clemente was the man.
I was just thinking that I really need to look up his defensive skills based on modern metrics He probably has some sick stats.
by CubsWin!Oregon on Jul 1, 2009 7:23 PM CDT up reply actions
The modern metrics rely on batted-ball stats that weren't kept in Clemente's day.
Which is unfortunate.
I guess that's probably true huh...

Question:
If it turns out the call (Wells being out) is bad after being reviewed by baseball, does Lou get suspended and/or fined for his outburst?
Cubs record since April 2004: 4-0
by Vermont Cubs Fan on Jul 1, 2009 7:43 PM CDT reply actions
I remember that.
I also seem to remember a time in a Steelers-Colts playoff game when the officials made a call that favored Indianapolis, and a Steelers player made some remarks about the officials. Later, he was not fined because it turns out the call (overturned interception after review) should have been ruled as an interception.
Cubs record since April 2004: 4-0
by Vermont Cubs Fan on Jul 1, 2009 7:46 PM CDT up reply actions
It was the game a few years ago,
When the Steelers apparently intercepted a ball, and after rolling on the turf, the player got up, and then dropped the ball, before recovering it.
Somehow, the play was overturned.

It's not about how bad the call is
but about the action of the player/manager/coach. That way MLB avoids accountability—something it’s good at
Which means Lou is likely going to be suspended or fined or both.
Even if the call the umpire made is bad.

Except Kobe didn't want to play for the Bulls then
because he was smart enough to see that the Bulls weren’t going to be any good.
Or, were you being sarcastic?

IIRC
Kobe didn’t want to come if we did trade Deng in his deal. He wanted to win a championship, which he has certainly done now.

Not many guys can come in off the bench...
And drop 30, but that’s too much money for a 6th man.
Someday we'll go all the way...

Dome DIVES to make the catch! DDR/VOM=?
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.
KOSUKE!!!!

How many pitches is he at?

If he goes one more,
That would take a lot of stress off the bullpen.

Hey dragonsfanatic,
Dome just made a nice diving catch!

I know it was a diving catch.
Don’t get MLB.TV, though, so I don’t know anything else.

MLB.TV is blackout for Japan
Using foreign proxy might be solving this, but I don’t know it’s worth for doing that risk…

Is that illegal in Japan?

Well I I'll watch MLB highlight on NHK tonight
and that contract of NHK should be the reason for blackout.
by dragonsfanatic on Jul 1, 2009 8:06 PM CDT up reply actions
It was very good but
not spectacular. He dove and caught the ball, but he wasn’t fully extended.
DEJESUS!!!
It was
good enough that it will make the highlights,
DEJESUS!!!
It's good anyway
if Cubs can collect one out
by dragonsfanatic on Jul 1, 2009 8:01 PM CDT up reply actions
I'd love
to see Fuld string together a few nice games while Sori sits—maybe a little competition and getting shown up by a guy making 300k will light a competitive fire in Soriano.
DEJESUS!!!
the only guy sweating more than Soriano, if that happens
will be Jim Hendry (good!)
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
sigh. Soriano is competitive. Unless Fuld knows how to fix his swing, Sam starting there won't have any affect
now, sitting for a few days might give Soriano the breather he’s obviously needed for a while, and allow him to just relax and watch
by WanderingWanderer on Jul 1, 2009 8:01 PM CDT up reply actions
how many games will it take for Soriano to go Tanya Harding on Fuld's knee?

Bradley to the plate.
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.
At this point...
I’m rooting for Bradley to just walk every time he comes to bat.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

which
he just did.

How about Bradley for leadoff then?

I'm simply advocation Bradley to not swing anymore and try a walk to first everytime.
