see I like Soriano, and think he provides a lot of offensive value to the team.
In fact, I’d argue that he’s the best offensive player we’ve got. That being said, he is a guess hitter, isn’t he? He’s not the kind of guy to study pitchers and adjust. He’s essentially a bad ball hitter, although a good one at that.
things about myself and accept them. Most recently it was that I can turn virtually anything into a sexual innuendo. I could be ashamed, but I embrace it. lol

THE UMPS TAKE AN EARLY LEAD!

LAcarl519 - August 20, 2008
Isn't that
just a given
chitownhawkeye - August 20, 2008
In & Out Burgers
are sacred shrines here. everyone loves ’em. No one would harm the place.

mkcubs21 - August 20, 2008
very efficient baseball!
drewishdrewid - August 20, 2008
I think they are fighting
for the honor of hitting 8th on this team
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 20, 2008
blah
1 away
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
has Arroyo
always had such light colored hair?
drewishdrewid - August 20, 2008
Why is Sori swinging at that pitch?
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008
...he's never been known for his plate discipline
sackings108 - August 20, 2008
Fine...you're right.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008
Guess Hack Selfish Hitter
zevkalman - August 20, 2008
must be a good guesser
preachermancubsfan - August 20, 2008
see I like Soriano, and think he provides a lot of offensive value to the team.

sackings108 - August 20, 2008
Yeah. I agree. I was being facetious in my comment above.
Blue Mike always calls Sori that.

BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008

mkcubs21 - August 20, 2008
Phillips K's ..1 out

On three straight
78 MPH changeups – he’s walkin’ tall after that.

cubsnlinux - August 20, 2008
Someone
must have reservations…
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 20, 2008
and three.
drewishdrewid - August 20, 2008
19 pitches thru 2 innings for lilly..
mkcubs21 - August 20, 2008
these batters have the patience of a sailor on shore leave...
LAcarl519 - August 20, 2008
LOL. It happens to the best of us :-)
zevkalman - August 20, 2008
Come on Jimmy!!!
sue369 - August 20, 2008

LAcarl519 - August 20, 2008
I didn't even think
about what I posted. They must be really into the game.
sue369 - August 20, 2008
(it just shows the respect you command on BCB...impressive)
LAcarl519 - August 20, 2008
yeah that must be it..lol
sue369 - August 20, 2008
Move the runner up!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008

She should be her for his HR he’s about to hit.
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008

Cubs 1 Red 0 (Umps 2)
drewishdrewid - August 20, 2008

sue369 - August 20, 2008

DeRo the HeRo!!
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
Soto blocks that

And DeRo, our hero draws first blood!
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 20, 2008
Mikie likes it

To date: I have been on 156 of them Nationwide
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
Cool, just what I was looking for.

sackings108 - August 20, 2008
I dont want to spam up the game thread
Im me on AIM @ ChicagoCubs316 or on Yahoo @ Galvan316
And we can talk there.
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008

BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008

Clearing the dust devils and such.
(lame. I admit)
Reddevil - August 20, 2008
Wow, this new Gameday Video highlights feature is ridiculous!
just checked out DeRo’s RBI there already.
Canseco's Roid Party - August 20, 2008
yeah it's one of the few things they added which is actually helpful
sackings108 - August 20, 2008
They're pretty quick tonight
For a change
Clutch16 - August 20, 2008
Yeah its pretty cool
How long until MLB charges you 39.99 to use it? LOL
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
i always thought mlb.tv was pretty resonable
preachermancubsfan - August 20, 2008
DERO!

Yeah!
BrewCrew'sPrinceofDarkness - August 20, 2008
Can someone answer this question for me?
Why do baseball players put Pine Tar in the middle section of the bat? No where near the handle doesnt make sense to me.
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
bunting?
Reddevil - August 20, 2008
I seriously doubt Soriano
bunts. heh maybe though better then what I could come up with.
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
haha
good question i have no clue
cubsfaninatl - August 20, 2008
Just makes it convenient
if they want to get a better grip in the middle of an AB, without going back to the Cedeno circle
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 20, 2008
Hmm
Now that makes perfect sense to me.
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
That would've been my guess...
just some extra pine tar for the hands/batting gloves.
hokie316 - August 20, 2008
Just don't get George Brett started on this topic...
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 20, 2008

I am sooo not happy this game isn’t on TV. That Corner gas show is on WGN and Stupid reruns of college football games are on Comcast. Grrr
Other than that? How are the boys doin?

I take it you dont live in Chicago?
because the game is on WCIU or maybe available on Extra Innings on FSN Ohio

Too far into "Cards territory" to get that
I am near Peoria
love the ivy - August 20, 2008
Usually I can find it

LAcarl519 - August 20, 2008
I feel your pain :-(
sue369 - August 20, 2008
you know Dusty must be wondering if this team remembers anything
he taught the Cubs with the way they walk so often now.
LAcarl519 - August 20, 2008
God i hope not
Galvan316 - August 20, 2008
Doesn't it feel like
Derrek is becomming less and less of a power bat and more and more of a 2 spot or 6 spot hitter?
cubsfaninatl - August 20, 2008
Yes...
But, our #1 hitter acts more like a 3 or 4
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Beaushek - August 20, 2008
17 HR?
Yeah, seems like. But it’s still working if not for all the DP balls
chitownhawkeye - August 20, 2008
Yeah but
most of those homeruns were early in the season.
I agree with Beaushek that the cubs shouldn’t change it, just saying that he isn’t a true power threat anymore, imo.
cubsfaninatl - August 20, 2008
Hi Guys
