what's so classic
is that the guys who hit in GIDP with RISP are not guys that hit into a lot of double plays. Its like russian roulette. Either way, the offense just seems to have lost all life today. I’m not pinning it all on Soriano – with guys like Fontenot and Dome in the lineup you’ve got real problems.

he can’t start hitting again without being in the lineup. Fuld is a nice backup. He’s been dazzling in two games. But he’s not a replacement starting outfielder.

I think its Soriano begging Lou to play him OR
It could be Lou is desperate to get win some ball games and thats why hes playing Soriano with his injury.
But I am quite sure that knee injury is really effecting his hitting. His swing and timing has been off and it would wise for Lou to rest him till ARAM comes back.

what would you like our reaction to be when Soriano pops up with a man on third? Aw shucks, maybe next time. No one is really cursing, but i think frustration for a team ranked near the bottom is most key offensive categories is warranted.

he should be
but people, including me, were asking for fuld to maybe play center. Fuld does get him there in all liklihood.

your right
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."

Don't see how you can know that, we haven't seen much of him
And he did have an of assist his first night on a long throw.

they do it every year
as good an advertisement as any to get rid of the guest singer entirely

he does that
every time. I don’t like it either.

I hate Uecker's interpretation of the stretch.
I’m using the word Hate here to describe my feelings.

Once again, what an inning by Z.
He once again hanged in there even with the Cubs defense screwing up.

Time to stretch
Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out with the crowd!
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack,
I don’t care if I ever get back,
For it’s root, root root for the CUBBIES!
If they don’t win it’s a shame!
For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out
At the old ball game!
P.S.: Did Uecker really say “Brewers” instead of Cubbies? We are not inviting him to do PR for Milwaukee.

yes did
they booed
then he replaced “If they don’t win it’s a shame!” for “You do the same… for the cubs”

Didn't even keep the rhyme scheme intact!
He could have done it with “And you, for the Cubs, do the same!” Sort of hard to parse if you don’t deliver the line right, but as he’s a broadcaster this should be within his capability.
by aldimond on Jul 3, 2009 3:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He does that every time so far
He did sort of crack up when he said it… Maybe Santo should hit him with a pie next time right about the time he says Brewers
by LT on Jul 3, 2009 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Or Maybe,
The Cubs should not invite him when the Cubs are playing the Brewers. Only teams other than Milwaukee.
Would he still say “Brewers” then?

he's an employee of the Brewers
so I would think so
by WanderingWanderer on Jul 3, 2009 3:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would vote for that
but it’s obvious they are going to continue to invite him to sing every year. At least he is not as annoying about it as Tommy Lasorda
by LT on Jul 3, 2009 3:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
except
since he travels with the Brewers, he’s unlikely to be available on many other days.
I’d just prefer they give it to Santo, and stop the guest conductor thing.
