i sure hope the Fukudome leadoff experiment is over
1-20 over last 4 games, with a solo HR as his only hit. I fail to see the resistance to Theriot, he’s been our most consistent hitter – Fukudome is similar to Soriano in that he is very streaky, we need a guy that is going to get on base every night. Dome is not that guy.
doesn't he have the highest OBA on the team?
that’s gotta be worth something.

Big Z wasn't happy just winning the game and homering this afternoon
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
Holy crapper...
randy wells pitch count is at 41 already. Good thing our whole bullpen for the most part is available.

Not quite enough, Sori
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
Stevens might see some action for sure
Does anyone recall the last time Soriano has even hit a ball to the warning track? he’s been getting some more hits but I can’t even remember him hitting a deep fly ball in the last month.
Bradley should bat second
That way we take advantage of his OBP
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
Milton – 6 HR 20 RBI
Dunn – 22 HR 60 RBI

Ya know, I consider myself to be a statistical-oriented baseball enthusiast.
But when it comes to Dunn or Bradley, I really could give a rat’s ass how bad TROY is in the field. He’s a lumberjack, plays every day, gives consistent 40 HR/100 RBI, and doesn’t cause cancer.

good point
it’s like he never knew what made him such a good player. Guess he thinks it was all God-given talent and nothing he cognitively did.
Oh God
His upper half is open. His lower half is closed.
That means they aren’t working together.
Kill me. Just kill me.

We have to baby the umps?
Hell, he is emphatically agreeing with the ump calling the pitch a ball. When did Bradley turn into Dennis Rodman where people are ok with umps treating him unfairly?
Ball 4!

He is showing the ump up
Him and the umps are not friends
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
The ump just made a call in his favor
Why would you think this is the time he would be showing up the ump? I think he is just celebrating a good result.

sees the replay and still says that Baker was out at first
wells just walked rasmus on 4 pitches.
i think he is trying too hard to him right in front of albert.
I don't think Randy Wells is very smart
Walking people in front of Pujols twice.

Morgan is one of these fools who only likes the team who's winning
He’s chatting up St. Louis now, but if the Cubs overtake them and win the division he’ll be kissing Cubbie butt
He's a bandwagoner but he's no friend to the Cubs. I dislike the guy immensely.
