WOOOO!!!!!!
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

Two games
gives you that impression? So if they win two in a row, that means they’ll win the WS, too. If you’re going to say one thing, you have to say the other, too.

No, no not from two games.
Settle down already. No, I don’t have to say they will win the WS if they win two in a row. Jeez. I really disliked how they underperformed in the 1st half, but have been the first to defend how they have played since. Can’t blame me for not trusting them quite yet.

by BleedsbluinMI on Aug 7, 2009 10:57 PM CDT up reply actions
That's not what I said
I just don’t see how two games can make you judge one way or the other. Unless you’re terminally pessimistic.
I was not printing up WS tickets after the two wins in Cincy. You shouldn’t be bearing doom and gloom after two losses, either.
Manic depression is a terrible thing.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 7, 2009 11:06 PM CDT up reply actions
You are an wrong. Look up my previous posts.
It’s not bearing doom and gloom to hope that the team doesn’t return to how they played for more than half the season. You are basing my “manic depression” on a very good run of 15 games compared to the first 85?
I have supported the good play and recent wins as much as anybody. You can’t logically discount the previous THREE months. I think the Cubs are a playoff team, but they have had some problems winning games so far, right?

by BleedsbluinMI on Aug 7, 2009 11:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, so what?
With injuries and guys in slumps, that happens. Once they play up to their averages, things should be better. And since the ASB, they have been.
Again, determining that after two games is idiotic.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 7, 2009 11:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Ok jackass. Just making an observation.
There have been an inordinate amount of injuries and underperforming. I think we have reached a critical stage where “things should be better” might not be good enough for a whole lot longer.
“Once they play up to their averages” we will walk away with this division. No doubt in my mind. Not irrational, however, to be concerned they are returning to their mean for THIS year, a sample size of over 80 games. Everyone is not back and healthy, yet. Sori and MB are playing better. But, two lackluster games in a row with the schedule ahead in the near term is worth a little concern.

Ok NBF.
The funny thing is, I think you and I are typically one the same page. I’ve looked through your posts tonight and see you are on edge with anybody who has anything negative to say. That’s fine. Again, I ask you to look at my track record. I’m not a ledge jumper.
The team was frustrating to watch for a long time. Now, for a shorter time they have been very good. My fear is that they slide back to what they have been. Don’t want them to, know they have the talent that they shouldn’t. Don’t think I deserve your repsonse for saying I hope that isn’t what is happening.
For the record I want them to win and like to see them play well. Don’t expect it every night. I was not any where near out of line, however, on my original post.
I’m done with this topic, we can agree to disagree or not, don’t care. Sad thing is, I think we are very similar Cub’s fans.
So, you win. Way to go.

The dogs
Here’s a picture… couple years old, the white one is much fatter now but the redish brown one is the same size… she’s older too by about a year. Their names are Birdie and Bogey (live on a golf course). Bogey was rescued from an abusive family in North Carolina that kept her locked up all day and never fed her… she was skin and bones when we rescued her. Much happier now. If you ever want to get a basset, check out the Guardian Angel Basset Rescue out of Dwight… http://www.bassetrescue.org
http://inlinethumb11.webshots.com/44874/1363492885071871858S600x600Q85.jpg
I rescued my golden
Ginger. She’s my profile pic. :-)
She was a mess. Had never been inside before. Hadn’t had a bath before. Had a horrible ear infection.
And now, she’s my buddy who loves to play ball and go places.
That's a beautiful dog
I hate going to the basset rescue site because I always end up crying reading the stories and seeing the dogs… but it makes me feel better that people are rescuing them all the time… I’ll never understand why people abuse animals… it’s not like they did anything wrong and they’re so innocent…
A good friend of mine
does rescue work for white shepards. She’s a foster mom. I love helping her find forever homes for the pups. Its really heartbreaking and healing at the same time.

So all of you think Smoltz is done?
Brett Farve...
It’s tough, I try and watch Sportscenter to get some info about him, but they just don’t talk about him enough.
Please
he hung on 1 year longer than he should have.
Not like Farv who’s been doing the “i might come back” crap since he won the SB.
Sounds like Farve.
And note I said “turning”. If Smoltz insists on trying again, well, we’ll see what happens.

Too bad he did not head there last week
A huge problem when you won’t admit an injury or that you don’t have it ( Gregg). It is NOT being Macho or sucking it up. It is killing your team. One thing I always loved about Maddux is that he had no problem telling a manager he was “gassed” in the last years of his career.

Lead off double...
I’ll give the Cubs chance of scoring at about 10%
12.4%

I can't believe how young Street still is
he’s been around for what feels like ver… but he’s only a year older than me.

No, that's about right
Unless you think the Cubs should be 80-20 at this point in the season.

All things considered
with the injuries, et al, I think it’s amazing they’re as good as they’ve been. See Mets, New York, for evidence of real dashed expectations.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 7, 2009 11:08 PM CDT up reply actions
The Mets...
have also won the same amount of playoff games as the Cubs the last two years.
At least
the Cubs have made it into the playoffs.

And if they did...
…they’re making a serious run at contention. I may have to take a trip across the Bay before the Cubs get here.

No. Baseball is what keeps you going through the long winter months....memories and anticipation of spring.
Football is just something to fall asleep to during the time it’s too cold to go outside.

about the only thing i look forward to baseball related is "pitchers and catchers report’ because it means winter is almost over finally.

at least we've seen more than 1 year from him

he could be really good… or he could not be. 1 year isn’t enough.

Game over!
2 runs in Coors field, nice job! Although, give some credit to Jimenez, that guys got a great arm!
St. Louis took care of business, what’s new, so Cubs are 1 up in the loss column.
milton was good today ... at least at the plate

Yeah...
That was the best bat slam I’ve ever seen. Seriously though, he did fine tonight.
The fact that we overpaid
for Bradley, is just salt in the wound. But hes a Cub so there isnt a whole lot to do but hope he continues to get better.
if he could hit a bit better
while keeping up the walk rate
he’d be worth the money

he's up to .252
if he could raise that by another 30 points (is that doable?) and keep walking….
that’d be awesome.
I think the SLG is more of an issue than the BA
His SLG is lower than his OBP and he has the lowest ISO in 8 years.

when you are walking
once every 7 ABs, you don’t have to hit that well to be a really useful player.
He’d have to hit a lot better to fill the role that was expected out of him, but not to be productive enough to justify the salary.

Cardinals TCOB
They’ll win 5 of 6 against the Pirates and Reds. We’ll go 2 and 4 in that stretch, and will be 3 games back by Wednesday.
Is that the end of the world? No, because it all evens out. However, it still blows.
I have nothing funny or creative to write.

He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

I was following the Cards game on Gameday...
When I saw on-field delay, I was hoping Ted Lilly came out of nowhere and started kicking Yadier Molina’s ass.
Seriously though...
I hope that person who was stretchered out is O.K.
yeah me too
Pujols was really class about it too, helping him while the medics came and then helping the youngster with the man.
hes going to be ok
pujols placed his hand on him

Dempster vs. Marquis tomorrow
Don’t pull a playoff start tomorrow Demp. Altough, maybe you’ll want to cause Hendry will slap you with a $56 million dollar contract.
and the 15 innings of hell ends
off a HR by aroid no less

Just back from the game
That was pretty poor today.
I watched BP and big Z was swinging for the fences. Someone should tell him we don’t need our pitchers to be homerun hittters. My guess is he tweaked it again swinging too hard.
Also get some bunt practice for Shark. That bunt was terrible.
Let's get some runs!!!!

Two horrible games in a row, not much fun to watch.
Hope tomorrow is better.
