I really look forward to the games on WGN since I don’t get to see them otherwise. Guess I will have to settle for gameday tomorrow at work and not get any work done.

tucsoncubsfan - August 12, 2008 reply

Double headers suck

How often do teams win both ends? I’d love to see the stats on that, but I bet it’s very rare.

At least Harden gets an extra day’s rest.

Canadian Cubs Fan - August 12, 2008 reply

Must be why I saw Marquis going in game 1 tomorrow

Now we’ve got 6 games in the next 5 days, so we either need one of tomorrow’s starters to go on 3 days rest, or use Marshall. Obviously Harden won’t pitch on short rest.

The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 12, 2008 reply

The Elias Sports Bureau found that double headers are swept only 48.9% of the time

I was reading about doubleheaders earlier today after a discussion in another thread and ran across that tidbit of info.

That's about what you'd expect, right?

About half of them are sweeps and half of them split?

maybe half of them are sweeps

and the other have are sweeps in the other direction.

o_0

hm..

by that logic, they would all be sweeps, no?

Man, just a constant rain from Turner tonight.

Started about 5:30 and had a steady rain since then. I am glad that tickets for tonight’s game are honored for the 1:00 game tommorrow.

Bummer

It’s felt like eternity with a day off yesterday and a night game tonight but with the rain delay I guess I’ll just have to suck it up. We gotta take advantage of this brave’s team that had been playing poorly and has already dumped some of it’s core players. 3 out of 4 is a must. Now let’s do it Padres!!

Question: Cubs should

a) Make one more key move by going after _ (name available player)

b) Hang on with what they’ve got until Sept. 1 and 40 man roster

c) Only make a deal for somebody if lead in divison goes to 1 game or less before Sept, 1

d) Other (specify)

sweetswinger - August 12, 2008 reply

D

I really think I’d like to see the Cubs specify

Fukudometer - August 12, 2008 reply

B

We have enough guys to bring up – Pie, Micah, Hart, Carmen, Wuertz, Hill, Dubois – I think we will be fine.

Of the ones you mention....

... you won’t see Dubois, I don’t think—he’s not on the 40-man roster and not likely to be added. Pignatiello, probably not either. If pitchers are added other than Hart and/or Wuertz, it’ll be Jon Lieber and/or Chad Fox returning from the DL.

But I agree that Pie, Hoffpauir and Hill are headed to Chicago on Sept. 1. Or whenever the PCL playoffs are over.

Ahhh

Forgot about Lieber and Fox. Good call.

that's ok

Lou has forgotten about them too.

Iowa and Chicago-Long Relationship

Iowa and the Chicago Cubs have had a relationship since 1981. A lot of I-Cubs fans are also Chicago Cubs fans. That’s important because the I-Cubs and their fans won’t have their feathers ruffled if Chicago calls up players before the PCL playoffs. The I-Cubs faithful would be happy to see their former players help Chicago in the stretch run starting Sept. 1.

If fans of a AAA team don’t really care about the parent club, then the fans care more about keeping the AAA players for the duration of the playoffs. They would rather see the AAA team win a championship than the parent club. That’s not the case with the I-Cubs.

memphiscub - August 13, 2008 reply

I vote for B.

It’s only 2 1/2 weeks till Sept. 1. The reinforcements will help. There’s not much help out there from other teams right now.

Random update

Since this probably doesn’t deserve its own post

Micah Owings is headed to the Reds as a part of the Dunn deal

linky

That sucks

Now that looks like a good deal for the Reds in the long-run

Not sure

Micah might be a better hitter than a pitcher.

Sucks either way, since he's potentially a double threat.

Dunn was a one-trick pony (though it was a pretty good trick, at that)

The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 12, 2008 reply

Am I just paranoid..

or does it seem like everyone’s loading up to go against the Cubs?

Cards pick up that middle IF Felipe Lopez who hammers Z..
D-Backs get Dunn, who becomes Superman in Wrigley..
Angels grab Teixeira to boost their offense..
Red Sox trade for Bay..

(I notice the White Sox didn’t make a move – hmm)

If Owings pitches against the Cubs...

... for the Reds, that might help, because they hit him hard in a relief appearance last month in Phoenix.

Still -

The fewer times we face him, the better, and now he’s in the division

By the way...

I'm using my tickets from the Chiefs / Cougars game

Well then...

... you’ll be in addition to the 658 sold!

I wonder if they'll even have

concessions. Not normal for a HS game anywhere, I don’t think.

Will the employees outnumber the fans?

Beer, specifically, I was thinking of.

Dunno about beer, but...

... I imagine they’ll have some concessions available. You can call the Cubs and ask them if you really want to know.

The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 12, 2008 reply

zevkalman - August 12, 2008 reply

It's been a while

I am out for trip mostly in August for both business and watching high school baseball these days, and could not afford to check back how Cubs playing recently….

Urasho from Okinawa in Summer High school tournament at Koshien Stadium (US’s Final Four equivalent) plays well as they win first 2 matches strongly and now facing Tokyo’s contender tomorrow. I’ve attended the 2nd match against Chiba and you can feel the heat on those flickr photos and YouTube Footages (There are 4 movies I took for this game).

I know Dome is officially in slump again in August – I don’t believe what Destrade says (I know this guy well) and I don’t think the reason is more practical and technical stuff than such generally observed ones from outsiders, but anyway I hope Dome is back asap.
Dome wrote a long diary on Aug 4th on his website, and I don’t have enough time to translate them all at this moment, but looks like he is still optimistic and positive on anything.

Looking forward Cubs and Dome play better in rest of the season and red-hot October.

dragonsfanatic - August 12, 2008 reply

I think Dome will be okay..

The pitchers made their adjustments to his early season run, and now Kosuke has to figure out the counter-adjustments to get back on track at the plate. But he’s had too much success in Japan, and he’s too good of a fundamental player to think that he won’t be able to figure things out. I don’t care about the power so long as he can get back to working the counts into his favor.

Dome's problems are solved!!!

I know why he’s been slumping. Before tonight, dragonsfanatic’s last post was in the game thread on July 31, the last game in Milwaukee (Dome homered in that game).

Since then Dome is 3-for-28.

Welcome back, dragonsfanatic! Don’t stop posting, because Dome hits when you’re here!

Hey dragon!! Welcome back!

I would like to hear about Dome’s diary you mention when you get a chance.

And I’ve always wanted to hear more about the Japanese high school tournament. I liked your comparison to the NCAA Final Four. Thanks for the update!

ChipSet - August 12, 2008 reply

Dome is a professional tool .. he'll get it together ..

His history clearly shows the man is a great ball player. It will be in steps .. beginning with, as the Mayor and others have said, getting back to where he was sooo solid at the first of the year, and that was in a far more patient AB then he’s had.

Lately, he’s hacked away more like a member of the Cubs during the last year of Dustyball, but I’m convinced he’s too professional a guy to handle this. A couple days off with some game videos, I think, will help him see what’s going on here. Being the kind of hitter he is, he’s got to do something ASAP ..

Platoon in Right

Big bat off the bench when left out.

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

I think the same has been said about Jimmy Ballgame

IMHO we need another bat. he fits the bill and is used to the big stage.

That was said about Jimmy Ballgame by Cubs fans.

Not one documented instance.

Sheffield has a long track record of bitching.

And Edmonds never made errors on purpose

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

Really?

It was said about him when he was on the angels and cardinals. There was an article in Sports Illustrated about it.

Link?

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

I think it was 99. Feel free to google it.

Pretty sure if you're trying to discuss your own point a link is provided by the person discussing it

How about a link to articles on Google detailing Sheffield making errors on purpose?

Yeah, I'd say that's where the burden of proof lies

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3530628

OR

this link detailing how a CONDITION of his enormous contract is that he would only DH, yet he still demanded to play in the outfield everyday…

(something is messed up- cant make it into a link besides pasting the actual link…sorry)

That's your perogative, as you are using it as evidence...

Im gonna make some baseless rumor

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

it is not baseless

there are just 6250 search results for Jim Edmonds and Sports Illustrated and Article. But yes you are right. Jim Edmonds has never been questioned in print for being a) a bad teammate b) dogging plays. I stand corrected.

let me guess

you couldnt find an article to back up your point, so decided to go for snarky instead?

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

Done commenting king of the internet?

No, I don't think it's a big deal...

...it’s just that Edmonds is ONE OF US now. No point on trying to make him look bad unless there’s evidence of stating such claims as him trying to fail on purpose.

http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1018844/index.htm

Here it is

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

Hardly damning evidence

And certainly does nothing to promote signing Sheffield

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

It simply proves that there are rumours about every player

And just because there are rumours does not make them true or that they would not help the Cubs. Sheffield has won more and been in more big games that most players on the Cubs. To dismiss his abilities based on an alleged reputation and rumour would be a kin to those who said we should not sign Edmonds because of the same.

ALLEGED REPUTATION??!?

There is DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that he made errors on purpose!!!!!

There is documented evidence that his contract stated he’d DH, and now he’s complaining!

He thinks platooning means not playing each and every day.

There is documented evidence of him bitching about every place he’d ever left.

Those aren’t rumors!

...proves that there are rumours…

I have no idea what we are discussing anymore. Sheff is over the hill, he’s a cancer, and we don’t need him. End.

Dan

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

You guys are right

but I think about our lineup in a WS (knock on wood) and do not see how we can possibly match up when required to play a DH. I guess I just want to play fantasy baseball and have a better line up on paper.

Trouble is, the games aren't played on paper

And it’s not worth carrying a cancer that could put making the playoffs a risk for what would be a maximum 4 games of usefulness.

JEROMEWALTON'SBATTINGSTANCE - August 12, 2008 reply

I am sure I am in the SMALLEST of minorities

when I say I would much rather not make the playoffs than lose the world series. I do not think I could bear it.

Yeah, I'd say that's a minority

Yes, this is ridiculous

Did you read Badgers link?

IMHO Sheffield admitting to errors that would be enough to take away any advantage having him as a DH for a max of 4 games in the WS

I think your point about the DH is somewhat fair

but here’s my argument to refute that.

Our run differential is +139. The next closest is Boston at +114. AL has home field advantage, which means 4 games with the DH given a 7 game series. And who would we put in that DH role? Luckily, we have a handful of players we have been platooning that can fit that role – Reed if it’s a LHP, and a handful of other hitters like Fontenot, DeRosa depending on the lineup, and a few guys in the minors that have power. I mean, hell, Micah hit FOUR home runs in his first four ABs down in Iowa the other night.

Now, what about those other three games at Wrigley? Without a doubt we have the best hitting pitchers – Zambrano, Marquis, even Dempster can do it. And you have to assume whoever the AL team is will not have pitchers that do much of anything in the batter’s box.

With our offense, which this year is clearly one in which every damn player contributes, I’m truly less worried about the DH in the World Series, given both our team-oriented approach to hitting this year, and our superior hitting pitchers.

Dan

Umm...quote from that article:

“People interpret him as being conceited, and it’s not the case.”

This article talks about how Edmonds is MISCONCEIVED as a bad teammate…

Well then, he seems to have righted his ways.

Sheffield has been bad THIS YEAR.

As a side note...

...if we are looking how bad Gary is this year, look at Andruw Jones’ line this year:

BA HR RBI OBP SLG
.161 3 14 .261 .254

in 74 games. WOW. B-A-D.

What a BARGAIN

at only 18 mil per! Haha…seriously…wow.

+1

And it would be 13 million dollar bitching, FWIW…

So when does he play?

Haha I’m sorry, I just really think this is the worst possible move the Cubs (or any contending team playing well) could make…

And WHERE does he play?

He even looks bad defensively as a DH! (That’s also a joke…)

YAY!

Not sure

I’d rather they won the WC than the Brewers, but that’s not looking so good right now.

Cards lose 4-3, Padres score down 4-2

Brewers basses loaded and no outs :)

Indeed.

Brewers have a hell of a team, though. It’s not dislike that makes me want them out of the post-season – it’s respect.

You know, if you just stop by to tell us the Brewers are doing well

some might find that trollish.

You could talk baseball, also.
