Except for coming inside on Hermedia...guy's killing inside fastballs right now
but yes, Sean did well otherwise and has been a heck on an asset to the team in any role they’ve asked him to be in. We’re in a tie game, yet again, because of the failings of the offense.
This guy never gives us a break (see Lee check swing called out) Go back to June at the Cell he threw Lou out for nothing. He’s just looking for his 15 minutes of fame by throwing people out.
but Lou only went out there to defend his guy, and he gets thrown out? That is rediculous. That one umpire also made Lou come out yesterday after another boneheaded play..
I personally think Lou was more out to argue the quick hook on Sinatro
and then got it himself just as quickly, and that’s what really pissed him off. Frankly, I don’t even think he argued the call at first base at all from what I could gather.
and that was the biggest issue. B/c after that we just started with the other umps.. Anyone else see the accidently chest bump as Lou was heading off the first time. Suspenions possible?
“Back in Arizona, where I managed the team to the World Series, which we won, I remember, during the 2001 season, when we won the World Series, how, during that championship season when I happened to be managing…”
Trammell – “Just take it the other way and we can go home” Soriano – “My people want a homer” Trammell – “A single will suffice” Soriano – “A homer will be better”
but if somoene looks good with it, it’s Kerry Wood. Totally looks like a badass. Put together Henry Wood or Kerry Blanco and that would make for a serious badass
Crap.....really thought DLee or ARam would get something started.......
the team (when losing like this) just looks unenthusiastic and bland…...I know they care but when your team is slumping they look worse than they are….I am just worried this slump will metastasize into something bad
Any chance that Lou would get suspended? (Did he bump an ump?) Remembering last year, I’d like for Trammell to manage for a game or two—maybe it would change the mojo.
The one person who loves beating Kevin Gregg is Kevin Gregg. He becomes wild and stupid very easily. We need to take a lot of pitches, foul some off. Just frustrate the crap out of him.
Let's get some runs!

Marshall did a heck of a job
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Indeed
Am I the only one who thinks a Harden/Marshall combo is a good idea until mr. got to protect his
pitch count can go 7 again ?
Doggie Stalker - July 26, 2008
I dont think you have designate a certain guy to the job.
We do need a long reliver we can rely on, and Marshall could be it
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
I like the idea......
Though yesterday I said Marshall looked better starting…..He just needs to pitch…..he’s good
kcjones - July 26, 2008
I think its a great idea
It has to be tough for the hitters to transition from Harden to Marshall
El Borto - July 26, 2008

californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Put someone out there we have a little confidence in....PLEEZE
kcjones - July 26, 2008
Thats why I am calling for Cotts
Who are you asking for?
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Not sure...
guess I empathise w/ Lou
kcjones - July 26, 2008
Cotts has the best ERA in the pen
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
I went to write a post in the other rooom...
and came back…top of 8th over already….....better start hitting soon…or it’s going to get ….never mind
kcjones - July 26, 2008
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are going to score 2 runs today
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
Lets make that 2 MORE runs
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Hopefully
I’m not holding my breath though.

His spikes stuck on the E and he looked like he slipped on that tough play..
I don’t think he’s hurt, but two odd footwork plays…

A double play would be nice

Don't need a closer, gonna be a walkoff if anything.
Gibbon Jockey - July 26, 2008
What if it goes 2 or more extra innings?
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
I still don't see
how that would require a “closer”
Less is Walrond - July 26, 2008
Can't play for extras.
Not saying to burn through every player in the pen just cause, but you have to manage the game in front of you.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Amazega hits righties better this year. Cotts does not have exaggerated splits
Why is he putting in Marmol now?
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Small-sample platoon splits are unreliable.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Ok, unreliable does not mean contra-indicated though
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
I think we just found a new word
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
Over a small sample, you are better off trusting the league average platoon split...
...for the handedness indicated than the small sample.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Marmol has little room
for error here
Reddevil - July 26, 2008

I just don't like the book that brings in closers in non-save tie game situations
And I sure as hell hope the thought of using Howry in a save situation didnt cross Lou’s mind.

I fear this
louslovechild - July 26, 2008
Cub Killer from way back
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
I get the feeling that opposing batters are told to look off close pitches from Marmol
since they move so much and wait for pitches right in the zone. They aren’t flailing like they were earlier in the season.
Mapmaker - July 26, 2008
c'mon Carlos.....
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Marmol is scary.
He has such movement on every pitch. It could be in the guys ear or somewhere very far away. I wonder if he knows where its going to end up?
JoeCub01 - July 26, 2008
did you see the Shark pitch yesterday?
they showed a replay of a pitch that went from LA to Chicago on the movement.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
How much gas was used in that transit, that's the real question
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
98 mph
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Batting against him has to feel like trying to hit while standing on a treadmill
He just never seems to let the hitter’s feet stay still

they showed the replay from the first-base side. I think he was in.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Who gives a shit?
This guy never gives us a break (see Lee check swing called out)
Go back to June at the Cell he threw Lou out for nothing.
He’s just looking for his 15 minutes of fame by throwing people out.
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
BS! Sure throw Sinatro out
but Lou only went out there to defend his guy, and he gets thrown out? That is rediculous. That one umpire also made Lou come out yesterday after another boneheaded play..
Chanman25 - July 26, 2008
yea, but you dont know what lou said
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
well I mean I could pretty much read his lips
Chanman25 - July 26, 2008
then you probably know whu he was tossed
im sure it wasnt nice
preachermancubsfan - July 26, 2008
he was tossed pretty quickly though
he didn’t really curse him out until he was thrown out
Chanman25 - July 26, 2008
Damnit!!!!!!!
BMoney79 - July 26, 2008
AAAHHHH!!!!
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
we're screwed
nervousCUBlover - July 26, 2008
And our dead offense was energized by that....not.....cripes!
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
I'm sure someone already said it....
But yoy DO NOT slide into 1st base…...
What was DeRosa thinking?
kcjones - July 26, 2008
that the throw was late
and he wanted to avoid the tag.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Once you cross the bag/hit the bag...tie goes to runner...stay in foul terriroty and tag doesn't matter.
kcjones - July 26, 2008
And not only that.....the 1st baseman
was stretched towards the SS as far he he could to catch the ball as early as possible…..
kcjones - July 26, 2008
I HATE it when players slide into first...
...do you see runners diving to finish a 100m race? The only possible excuse is if and when the tag is coming in and a slide would avoid it.
Dan
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
Jerrt Hairston jr
does not approve of this message.
TheRamZamDLEE - July 26, 2008
Bob said
almost 100% of time sliding into first gets an out by the ump
Emelie - July 26, 2008
It's stupid. Plain and simple.
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
I agree
Never slide into first base. Hairston used to drive me crazy with that.
Not Bruce Froemming - July 26, 2008
Hairston used to keep his alarm clock
on the floor and dive out of bed to turn it off.
Goodie1969 - July 26, 2008
i think we need a change in the offense
lexmarklover - July 26, 2008
Nope
They just need to start hitting again.
Not Bruce Froemming - July 26, 2008
Ugh! anything but extras
This offense is non existent.
TheRamZamDLEE - July 26, 2008
I saw scott eyre warming
That makes me more angry than Drake.
louslovechild - July 26, 2008
would you rather like Howry warming up?
cubsnlinux - July 26, 2008
NOOOOOOOOOO
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Lou must have said something
Villeslgr - July 26, 2008
Frankly sportsfans, Lou used a word that's a no-no with umpires
Gibbon Jockey - July 26, 2008
I hope he did call that guy the magic word
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
I think he said it was a "magic word"-ing call
and then begged him to pretty, please beg me to call you the ‘magic word”
Gibbon Jockey - July 26, 2008
Well we do know
that he didn’t go out there saying, “Hey, that was a GREAT call! How’s the wife?”
Emelie - July 26, 2008
I personally think Lou was more out to argue the quick hook on Sinatro
and then got it himself just as quickly, and that’s what really pissed him off. Frankly, I don’t even think he argued the call at first base at all from what I could gather.
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
i'm with you there.. He tossed Matt FAST..
and that was the biggest issue. B/c after that we just started with the other umps.. Anyone else see the accidently chest bump as Lou was heading off the first time. Suspenions possible?
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
and the way he tossed Matt
very arrogant.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
+1
again i don’t know what was said but Matt was barely on the dirt and he was tossed
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
the arrogance of the umps these days knows no bounds..
...most of them act as if they have something to prove and want to be part of the action
JB 23 - July 26, 2008
Maybe the Drake was trying to win this league
link
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Did anyone else catch Lou saying "What the f*** is wrong with that guy?"
In reference to Drake, of course. I laughed.
Keith - July 26, 2008
Legit question
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
yep
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
yes I did
sue369 - July 26, 2008
Also...
A demonstration about what I mean about a SS with some range…
As Theriot never even gets to that ball to make a play
kcjones - July 26, 2008
to be fair
Ramirez is the best SS in baseball.
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
Not defensively he isn't
berselius - July 26, 2008
Best offensive shortstop in baseball, maybe.
I’m not even sure he’s above-average defensively.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Really?
I’ll believe you.
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
I've got Hanley projected to a -4 runs per season in RZR.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
I'm assuming this is standarized for 0 being the mean?
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
Yeah.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Then -4 isn't that bad, right?
Unless +1/-1 is one full SD…
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
The range between best and worst, true talent...
... is about +15/-15. (There are some exceptions, like Manny Ramirez. Everyone else generally gets moved if they’re much worse than that, like Braun.)
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Well then it sounds like Hanley is fairly average...
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
There's a lot of daylight between...
...”best shortstop in the game” and “four runs below average.”
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Those weren't my words. I just wanted to know if he was average.
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
Fair enough.
He’s below the mean, technically. One STDEV is about 6 runs. FWIW.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Should point out that this isn't raw sample data.
It’s three years of data weighted and regressed to the mean.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Boy, the Marlins bullpen has been nails
No runs in the series so far? You have to think they’re due.
Not Bruce Froemming - July 26, 2008
Oh well.....maybe our offense will one day crawl from the grave and be zombie-good....
and we will get back to winning baseball….
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
game's not over yet.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Our zombies can rise from the crypt at anytime....just hope it is sooner rather than later
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
Nice Marmol
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
Clearly Lou
said the wrong word and then CLEARLY he didnt like Drakes answer to his questions.
Hammer - July 26, 2008
what was the question?
Are you a blind “magic word”?
Gibbon Jockey - July 26, 2008
That assumes that the Drake was in the right
Big assumption given his history with Lou
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008

How Bob Brenly Begins Every Story...
“Back in Arizona, where I managed the team to the World Series, which we won, I remember, during the 2001 season, when we won the World Series, how, during that championship season when I happened to be managing…”
nervousCUBlover - July 26, 2008
...and by the way my son who is a catcher just like I was, went 3 for 4 last night....
...but I still like BB.
zevkalman - July 26, 2008
I like him too.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
I like BB and Len
I don’t hear him talking like that at all
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Me either.

Yep, I like the duo as well
And I have to agree with Emelie. I don’t hear that at all.

JB 23 - July 26, 2008
Man, I hear that complaint all the time
And I just don’t hear that at all. And there are not many innings of Cubs baseball that I miss.
BMoney79 - July 26, 2008
I don't hear it either

Agreed. NO idea what you're talking about with this complaint.

that Howry is the only pitcher left….

Can't think of a better way for Fonzi to announce that he's back!
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
Are they going to walk Sori
nbt - July 26, 2008
I agree
How about one of those singles down the right field line by Theriot to get Fukudome home? He’s due for a hit today.
ak123 - July 26, 2008
I think u may be right.
Gibbon Jockey - July 26, 2008
Sori's gonna feather one out to right for the walk-off.

dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
His boyfriends from UND called im that
And he kind of looks like one.
NittanyCub - July 26, 2008
I think it's just ND, not UND...and that still doesn't explain "The Shark"...
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
It's his nose
TheRamZamDLEE - July 26, 2008
You're wrong.
It’s UND.
NittanyCub - July 26, 2008
Well...I think I have a much, much stronger case:
1 – Official website doesn’t have “u” in it:
http://www.nd.edu/
2 – Or, try typing “ND” vs “UND” into Google – Notre Dame vs University of North Dakota.
3 – I think most all higher education institutions have “college” or “university” in its prefix or suffix.
4 –
I fail to see the “u” in this official logo.
Dan
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
That's more athletics. You don't see the "U" in "USC"
logo, do you?
What I think you’re failing to realize is that EVERY accredited university will formally have “college” or “university” to it’s name.
It’s University of Notre Dame, not just Notre Dame. This isn’t a hard concept to grasp.
NittanyCub - July 26, 2008
Sure, it's not.
But no one calls it “UND”, not even on their website. It’s ND.
Dan
dtpollitt - July 26, 2008
Thank god for 3 innings from Marshall
Any other day and we’d have atleast 2 more pitchers already up today.

against us somehow…..we are simply fishbit…..grrrrrrrr

this game was tied. Which means they’re not hitting us any better than we’re hitting them.

Storm is not coming....
...this time, going to hit Taiwan....and another one to hit Wrigley in more extra innings?
dragonsfanatic - July 26, 2008
not today thank goodness
Emelie - July 26, 2008
A storm created by Soriano's whiffs
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
Soto strikes out more often, and DeRosa strikes out just as much.
Weird how you zero in on Soriano though. Odd. Unexplainable even.
californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
Lee, Aramis, Johnson
In the 11th
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
5 stinking hits for the opposing team and yet here we are in extras!!!!!!
Baseball is a crazy, crackho of a game!!!!

Jason Marquis....worst facial hair in baseball???? He looks like a hobo with that stuff!!!
Hey everyone its Chad Gaudin!!!!! Seems like we haven’t seen him in awhile…...
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
Giambi says hi
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
Nah, JG just looks like a cop or a fireman
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
Not a facial hair fan
but if somoene looks good with it, it’s Kerry Wood. Totally looks like a badass. Put together Henry Wood or Kerry Blanco and that would make for a serious badass
love the ivy - July 26, 2008
Or a Camaro owner

Was that a headrest on that kid's head?
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
no, ted lilly lined a ball at his head
princefieldersdiet - July 26, 2008
OUCH
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
Who hits the walk off for us???????? Someone call it!!!!
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
Hermedia
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
there's nobody named that playing in this game
princefieldersdiet - July 26, 2008
dude, you're a chach
thinskull - July 26, 2008
now he's just making up players, too.
a cross between felex heredia and jeremy hermida… hmm…
princefieldersdiet - July 26, 2008
Doubt Hermedia will be able to walk-off today.
Not for sure, though.
BMoney79 - July 26, 2008
gotta be Reedo

Aram
Reddevil - July 26, 2008

Sori is looking good out in left today
He doesn’t seem to have that hesitation that he normally does.
jajonez77 - July 26, 2008
Walk-off by Aramis

Way to go Gaudin!

ok. Heart of the order to come up. Let’s do this.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Chad goes 1-2-3
Lee,Ram,Johnson due up….
TheRamZamDLEE - July 26, 2008
9 pitches for Chad
He can stay in for a few if need be, thought I hate to say it
El Borto - July 26, 2008
nice inning
young blue boys
lexmarklover - July 26, 2008
good pitching
from Gaudin. He could go out again, if he had to.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
He could go 2 or 3 more if needed
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Let's hope he doesn't.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
OT: I hit level 70 in World of Warcraft today :-)))
Emelie - July 26, 2008
I'm sorry.
God only knows how much time you’ve spent crafting.

Emelie - July 26, 2008
If we don't score here we deserve to lose
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
Perhaps
but does it have to happen ?
Doggie Stalker - July 26, 2008
Yeah, but so do the Marlins, right?
cwyers - July 26, 2008
I call ARam for the walkoff HR
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Gaudin can go another inning too...
Let’s not allow him to!
Keith - July 26, 2008
Hey guys,
how is gocubs40 still allowed on this board?
princefieldersdiet - July 26, 2008
Al hasn't gotten
home yet.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Flagged for truth
El Borto - July 26, 2008
I call Johnson for the walkoff single
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
i thought you had jeremylix hermedia?
princefieldersdiet - July 26, 2008

Just got home, and this is my reward?
DeRoMyHero - July 26, 2008
You're about to see a walk-off win!
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
hang onto your seat!
Emelie - July 26, 2008
It is a reward
Who wants to watch this anemic offense anymore?
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
for pete's sake
stop being such a tool. If you don’t want to watch, TURN THE DAMN TV OFF!
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Drewish... Don't do this!
Reddevil - July 26, 2008

Emelie - July 26, 2008
eh.
It’s not like ignoring him is making him go away either.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
the call and response
is a waste of Zs though
Emelie - July 26, 2008
you gonna run out?
:D
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
never ;-)
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Crap.....really thought DLee or ARam would get something started.......
the team (when losing like this) just looks unenthusiastic and bland…...I know they care but when your team is slumping they look worse than they are….I am just worried this slump will metastasize into something bad
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
they were both trying
to pull the ball. Meh.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
At times this team looks like the 06 team playing out the string...no "oomph"
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
metastasize.....oooooh
yay for unnecessary verbosity

any bluemike sightings today?
princefieldersdiet - July 26, 2008
not so far
sue369 - July 26, 2008
unless he as reincarnated
as the jerk who’s been tormenting us today
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Difference is
BlueMike seems a lot more educated—-not just grumpy and trolly
Hammer - July 26, 2008
no
the clock stands at three days, right?
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Hard to walk off if the ball doesn't leave the infield
is it possible for an entire lineup to slump like this?
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
You are witnessing it now
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
Obviously it is.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
So does Hendry trade for a BP guy now?
We need some help pronto.
ARAM FOR MVP - July 26, 2008
the bullpen isn't the problem today
The bulpen has been great (and well used so far)
El Borto - July 26, 2008
Len and Bob say
Hendry will make no moves unless there’s an injury, per Hendry himself.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
I see Lou and Sinatro got tossed...
Any chance that Lou would get suspended? (Did he bump an ump?) Remembering last year, I’d like for Trammell to manage for a game or two—maybe it would change the mojo.
DeRoMyHero - July 26, 2008
No he just had some
choice words for the umps.
sue369 - July 26, 2008
MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!
Reddevil - July 26, 2008
Booyeah!
Keith - July 26, 2008
Great d Reed!
VolPowers - July 26, 2008
He's OUT
Reed is doing it all!
TheRamZamDLEE - July 26, 2008
Hendry says he is sticking with what we have now.....which on paper should be enough....
But, that all depends on if some of these hitters pull their heads outta their butts….... REEEEEED J does it again!!!!!
razzpunk - July 26, 2008
which i totally disagree with
is jim blind or something? He doesn’t notice Bobby Howry’s struggles
lexmarklover - July 26, 2008
THe Cubs have the players.
There’s no guarantee that anyone they traded for wouldn’t be in a slump either.
cwyers - July 26, 2008
Very true.
DeRoMyHero - July 26, 2008
Hey we got a call!
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
REED ROCKS
Emelie - July 26, 2008
Yes he does
sue369 - July 26, 2008
OUT!

californiachicagoan - July 26, 2008
I do like the fact that Hendrickson (sp?) is coming in next..
to the best of my knowledge hasn’t been very good this year..
mkcubs21 - July 26, 2008
R Johnson is the MAN today... he'll be getting the run in the 12th....
MinnesotaFan - July 26, 2008
...He will be 8th next inning
gocubs40 - July 26, 2008
That would be tough
miamicanes - July 26, 2008
Reed is a one man show in CF!
JB 23 - July 26, 2008
Riot needed to do a better job of applying the tag there though
VolPowers - July 26, 2008

I think that throw hit the lip of the infield but we got a good bounce
maybe that means the worm has turned. That’s what we need to coral the fish!!

Gibbon Jockey - July 26, 2008
We need to be really patient with Kevin Gregg
The one person who loves beating Kevin Gregg is Kevin Gregg. He becomes wild and stupid very easily. We need to take a lot of pitches, foul some off. Just frustrate the crap out of him.
louslovechild - July 26, 2008
Hendry...
Get on your phone and GET A F*ING HITTER NOW
CaliCub - July 26, 2008
where you gonna
slot him? Who comes out of the lineup?
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
If It's A Trade
then you include one of the current excess infielders. Or if you sign a Kenny Lofton then you DFA someone like Howry.
CaliCub - July 26, 2008
excess infielders
indicates not a starting infielder. So again, who comes out of the lineup?
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
Theriot
There, I just made your day. :-p
CaliCub - July 26, 2008
heh.
even I’m not willing to take the only guy hitting over .300 out of the lineup.
drewishdrewid - July 26, 2008
I like to think this is just a bad slump, the bats will come around again. when wood comes back he needs to send howry down or dfa him
