also is it just me or does rich’s rhythm and pace look a lot better? Like he is more in control. Hopefully he has found a nice rhythm and can keep it up

he always does that check swing on high heat up and in.

its almost like you can tell he is cheating on fastball by starting his hands and bat so early he can’t hold up on a pitch up and in.

Can’t guarantee we’ll like it though…

found it weird that Bob just defended him somewhat and Bob as we all know rips on him.

at first bob was ripping on him but after taking another look he somewhat defended him.

Since I can't see it

just wanted to come on and see what actually happened. Not surprised at all.

soriano does a lot of things poorly

i’m having trouble figuring out what he does well…………….

by John T. Unger on Jul 16, 2009 7:04 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Oh please.

I’m annoyed that he hasn’t been that great lately too, but to say he does NOTHING well is silly.

first of all

that’s not what i said. but perhaps you could enlighten me – what does he do well?

by John T. Unger on Jul 16, 2009 7:05 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hits a decent number of homeruns when he's not slumping?

And I stand corrected, you didn’t say he did nothing well, you just said you couldn’t figure out what he does well…which functionally implies the same thing.

oh that's right

he did hit a HR this season. i’d almost forgotten.

by John T. Unger on Jul 16, 2009 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He deposits checks

with the best of them.

If you like Selig's handling of the steroid issue, you'll love his choice for next Cub owner.

Spitting

He's out if that throw hits the cut off man...

…he’s out when it sails over his head. Unreal.

Question,

did Fonzie get sent on that play or was it his own initiative?

Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008

i think he did it on his own
