Some guys can own the Cubs
But they are legends and I hate to see them get hurt. Even if it can help us (like if we fight for Wildcard).
HUGE
Series win!

awesome... Cubs remain 2.5 games back!
they treaded water successfully until Ramirez returns… let’s hope for better things to come!
Honestly
If Fox can hit like this, Ramirez can re-hab a couple more days :)
But ONLY a couple. Then let Fox play LF. Bradley-Lee-Ramirez-Fox oh my!
i would only want to see A Ram pinch hit .. ONLY ..
give Fox full rein and let A Ram be the deadly weapon

I think Lou might give him more starts
Until Fox has a bad game on the field, there’s no reason not to.
But seriously, if there was any possible way in the off-season for them to convert him to 2B, next to Utley, he’d lead offense in that position in NL.
footwork around 2nd is tricky
but it could happen
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it. -George Halas
Off-season can do it
If not, keep him in and then get him the hell of the AL in the offseason. We can get someone great in a trade because this guys stock is rising in value as a DH.
I don't see it happening, but man would it be nice...
as long as Bradley, Soriano, Ramirez, and Lee are here though, he currently has no position.
I’m loving his bat, and wish the team had figured out to bring him up sooner.
At this rate
Just put Soriano at 2B. Let Fox play LF.
I don’t care about the criticisms of it.
Solid pitching, big hits > potential errors.
I'm sorry
If Lou Piniella puts Alfonso Soriano at 2nd base full time, he should be fired.

In our own defense
We’re talking this way because of his HR. He’s not going to do that every day.
Fox should be playing atleast 4 games a week though.
Ya
Fox is not the next coming of Babe Ruth – although I have noticed some band (cough) (Hoffpauir) (cough) wagon moments on this board.
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
gotta go with him until he proves different though
ya never know……..he might hit ALL year
Ya
Sub him where he can play (figure Aram is going to need at least 2-3 days off a week) until he goes cold.
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
And 1 day in LF a week
4 games a week = good contributions.
figure
2 games at 3rd, 2 in the outfield, 1 at 1st…gives your key players a day off a week and lets aram come back
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
Well theres one big difference vs. him and Hoff
When Hoff came up and played more it was in September. Against bad/struggling teams and many AAA players getting call-ups.
Fox is playing in games that matter against top pitchers. And he’s succeeding. And with all hot players, you keep them going until they fail.
If Jake Fox was an every day player, he’d be ROY.
I've never seen Hoff look as good
as Fox. Nice short….quick swing……….great plate coverage,,,,,,,,,he looks like a great hitter…….now anyhow……..I think we deserve to see
late inning subs are for defense
I am confident Ram’s defense is better……even at 80%
not at the expense
of putting Soriano at 2nd. I’d rather Sori go on the DL. Right now, there’s no permanent place for Fox on this team. Them’s the breaks.

Soriano
Had some good cuts today – hopefully he can just relax and get a day or two off a week – can fox play right?
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
Well to be fair
Lou should have been fired for a lot of things he did or didn’t do this year already. Yet the team is chugging along.
1 more risk for the benefit of possibly getting more run support isn’t that big of a deal in my eyes anymore.
Up until today I've been against what I just said
But Soriano’s bat will be back.
Including that with Aramis + Lee + Bradley + Fox + Soto (who is hitting better) + Theriot getting on base - we are favorites to win every game.
Which is why
you keep White at the duece and Soriano in left…
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
not only that
we pass the Reds and we’re in third place now.

I really think they can win the next 7
They got the momentum and home field advantage.
Nice Win today
as for the roster……………….why not DL Soriano………send Shark down, and DFA patton? That way Fox goes to left for 2 weeks………….*(his bat has GOT to stay in the lineup) and just maybe after 10 days off Soriano can go to Iowa and maybe get his act together?
Fukudome CF
Theriot SS
Lee 1B
Bradley RF
Ramirez 3B
Fox LF
Soto C
Fontenot/Baker 2B
That looks better to me
True
Maybe top of the order will wake up Fuk’s bat
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
I've been anti-fukudome the last few weeks
But even as one of his biggest complainers this week, I can’t deny keeping him in leadoff a few more games.
Ya
Blanco is a capable 2b
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
Let Baker stay on the team
Until they pick him off.
It’s Cubs tradition you know.
Huge series win today.
It’s never easy to take three of four, but to do so against a team leading you in your division is great.
Let’s keep the momentum going against Atlanta and St. Louis!

We’ll still probably never hear the end of it, but you at least mentioned it.

What's your thoughts?
Had Lou let Jake Fox start at 3B the entire time Aramis was out. How many more wins do you think we could feasibly have had?
I know he was hurt for a little which might have delayed his delayed call-up.
I think Lou has mentioned it
I’d say 2 or 3 more wins……….1st place maybe
A lot of 1-run games
Could have had a different story. I mean we can’t help the games when there’s bad pitching, bullpen blowups, etc.
Because our utter dearth of second basemen has been a real hindrance until now

I'm just saying
I know he’s not a good 2B………..but reality is that he will play if not disabled
Noooo
you would severly hurt the team on the defensive side…only place for sori right now is the dl
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
ok...........but as I keep saying
Fox MUST play…………I agree …Sori should sit awhile………..
Soriano will hit again
I bet you he will get 2 HR’s this week with Ramirez back in lineup. He will be more relaxed. Not what we want to say about our highly paid OF’er but I bet that’s the case.
Problem though
is you really should try to ride Fox right now since he must be seeing the ball really well
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
I've got a different theory
Rami’s going to take a while to find his stroke again, so if his absence has been (one of) the reason(s) that Sori’s been pressing, then Rami’s struggles may lead Sori to press harder. Not what we want to see…
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
but
him just being back might get sori to relax enough to start a hot streak.
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
Not that I wouldn't like to see it
But I get the feeling that a lot of people have been thinking that Rami in the lineup is a silver bullet. Truth is, after a long lay-off, most hitters need time to readjust to MLB pitching. I don’t think the offensive struggles will disappear at 6:00 tomorrow evening, and things may get worse before they get better.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
No one ever said he's be starting tomorrow
I can Jake Fox getting hte start next two games. Ramirez either subbing in 6th inning on or just doing the pinch hit. Lou won’t rush him in unless he thinks it’s the best option for the team.
Ramirez is not coming back to be a sub, even if it is his first game back...

by Jimmyeatworld on Jul 5, 2009 4:36 PM CDT up reply actions
Well I'm thinking back to 2006
And please correct me if I’m wrong. But when DLee when down with an injury Ramirez didn’t seem to have as good of season. To me these are similar circumstances.
Let’s just hope I’m right on my prediction. If he fails this week then lets see what happens after the All Star Break. Right now 5 out of 7 wins for a team that looked like they’d never win again a month ago is good.
Soriano
is there a real possibility here that considering he says he feels fine……that he has simply completely lost it and will never be worth a damn again?
Or....
whats the liklihood that he is simply having the opposite of a career year and will be fine next year.
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
if he hits .220 all year
I think he never comes back the same………ala Andrew Jones…….I hope not but it does happen
hope ur right
No
Because he had it only 2 months ago.
It’s a cold-streak. And hopefully the bat heats up in August and September and finally October.
Ya
Just like now we have a well-rested 3rd baseman and Zambrano’s dl stint will let him not have the drop-off in August.

The fact is
Only two months ago we were saying he might be “MVP” this year.
He’ll bounce back. Other known players that struggle but finished solid in last few years are:
Ortiz (playing better)
DLee (playing better)
Delgado (in 2008 – you want to talk about fan booing?)
It's always nice to win series,
But it’s especially hard to win three out of four games in a series like this one.
Let’s keep it going against Atlanta, and then St. Louis!

Actually 3 multi-hit games in a row
Can’t ask for more than that from the struggling little guy.
Wow, can’t believe right now with this team and the way they played that Lou is going to have this much trouble finding spots for everyone to play.
This
coming from a team that a month ago couldnt find 2 guys to play decent ball…hello June Swoon
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
They still have to play better on the road
That I guess is step 1 of winning the division post All Star Break.
I think it may have already arrived :D
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
For the record
I stated only 2 days ago he should go to AAA. I’m happy to be wrong every time in these cases.
However, that being said, the second Fontenot starts going hitless, Lou needs to have someone bat for him.
My theory was that he was scuffling because of too much PT
I say keep him at 2B until his bat cools off and let him platoon again, afterward.

Agree 110%
But in off-season they have to sign a real 2B which is what they would have had to do anyways if DeRosa was still playing here.

Wow easiest 6 series ahead
We should take 2 of 3 if not sweep Braves. Agree?
Cardinals are good but we have home field advantage so splitting or winning or potentially sweeping isn’t out of the question.
Phillies for 3 games. They suck at home (sweeping Mets at home isn’t really an accomplishment right now).
Nationals for 4 games. I don’t need to say anything.
Then Reds and Astros at home.
I’m sorry but unless barring any major injury (knock on wood), there is no reason by the end of July for this team not to be 10 games over .500.
You do remember
you are talking about the 2009 cubs
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
Yes
The 2009 Cubs that have the 3rd best home record in NL.
And only road series
Are against two teams that have the 2 of the 3 worst home record in baseball.
Yes
But remember you are talking about the 2009 Cubs – they could very well lose every game this month
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
Yes they can
But know this. I’m seeing them play 1 in DC and one in Philly. I’m riding my person 8 game winning streak. So I feel good about it :)

It could work that way
But for my own sanity… I take it a game/series at a time.

to split with the Suds. We took 3. That’s awesome. I’ll be very happy to take 2 from the Braves and 2 from the Cardinals. I’m not looking any farther ahead then that.
