Bleed Cubbie Blue

No tweets yet from TwitterMeyer and I want to see Sam Fuld tonight!

zevkalman - July 2, 2009 reply

Hopefully they bring their bats

and Dempster pitch’s more like last year.

Fuld is leading off and playing left tonight!

cubdreamer - July 2, 2009 reply

do you have the lineup?

Sam Fuld

Starting again, Soriano benched. Per the Score 670 AM

ccav23 - July 2, 2009 reply

Soriano, you can't see him.

I see nothing

Okay

I’m gonna have to go Eric Hanna right here:

BEST STICK FIGURE EVER!!!!

on the bench

Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano, given Wednesday off after going 0 for 7 in the previous two games, is 1 for 15 with six strikeouts against McClung.

resting.

tanks for the jump Sue.

you're welcome

but i’m not sue. :-)

D'oh, so sorry.

You know in my experience, women don’t mind being called a different name. j/k

oh, snap

ha!

my wife begs to differ

Cmon Cubs! Start this series off the right way!

cubbiepride - July 2, 2009 reply

Oh thank goodness for game thread!

that old one was getting really slow

Aram

Lou had said a few weeks ago on a pregame show with Santo that he wanted him back for the big series before all star break. I just hope he is not rushing because Lou wants him. We’ll find out in a few days.

Let’s start this homestand off right with bats and pitching. Thump ’em!

mrcubsfan - July 2, 2009 reply

Big series is right

Cubs need 3 out of 4. Get on a roll for a bit.
Interesting Lou wanted Ibanez, oh well, we got what we got.

Lets have a good strong start tonight Demp.

Grockcubs - July 2, 2009 reply

Let's go cubs!

Maybe the Ibanez...

…info along with the Perry firing will finally get people away from the premise that Hendry has been a hostage to selecting players/coaches his manager wants.

Bruce Miles also wrote about this (Hendry makes his own decisions) sometime ago, so as it should be, the GM is responsible for assembling the roster – good or bad.

Recced. I think this is a valid point.

Good to know.

I guess I need to gnaw on some crow, thinking that Hendry empowered his managers and did their bidding for the most part.

Wow

30:25 K/BB for McClung?

Carlos Marmol!

so when Milton

walks three times, think people will complain?

Course they will

Its Milton.

I'm sure Al will mention it as a bad thing in the recap too.

you guys need to knock off the Milton Martyrdom Madness....

NOBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT HIS WALKS. The point Al was making was that as the “middle of the order left handed bat”….we were expecting more from him than just taking a lot of walks. Hell, if he’s going to walk so much, bat him 2nd and let our real power hitters (Lee/Ramirez/Fox) drive him in.

bat him 2nd and let our real power hitters (Lee/Ramirez/Fox) drive him in.

forgot to put theriot as a power hitter :P

I'll remember to add him to the list when Lou remembers to play him in his natural position.

His job

is to score runs. Whether he does that by walking to get on base or by hitting home runs, whenever he doesn’t make an out, that’s doing his job. We were utterly ga-ga over Dome’s ability to walk last season. Now, when suddenly Milton is one of the few Cubs with the patience to draw a walk, he gets flak for it.

I think the point most are trying to make is.............

walks are good but we paid him $30 million to hit with RISP

we're paying him

about $10 million a year to play baseball. That’s what he’s doing. He’s just not batting as well as anyone — himself included — would like.

exactly my point

uh

not really. But whatever.

What happens when the pitchers don't give you the pitches to do so?

Expand your zone and strike out more?

It's a lost cause, man.

These are the same folk that wished to DFA lee 2 months ago and put Hoff at first (Consider how that debate looks now!), who blasted Z for an injury incurred while legging out a bunt. Logic and forward thinking are not things you’ll get here in many cases.

Not advocating you give up the battle… your glass half full attitude is an inspiration for us koolaid drinkers everywhere. Just sayin’, you are unlikely to get anywhere with anything other than reactionary blather.

AndrewJStone - July 2, 2009 reply

:D

I know. But I just can’t quit.

It's not as black and white as you make it out to be.

Michael would argue that it doesn't matter...

but please do elaborate.

AndrewJStone - July 2, 2009 reply

♫Ebony and Ivory

been together in perfect harmony♪

As simply put as I can make it...

Bradley’s offensive performance thus far makes him better suited to hit almost anywhere in the lineup other than 3rd or 4th. His ability to get on base would better serve the team if he wasn’t being put in RBI positions. Most of my disappointment with him stems from the fact that our shortstop has shown as much power as Bradley has so far. I LIKE HIS PATIENCE AT THE PLATE….I only wish some of his AB’s could result in more x-tra base hits instead of BB.

I'd like to see

him bat 2nd, actually.

Well, than. We agree.

I was more referring to drew’s will to continue to call out people for hating on Bradley even when he does relatively well. We’d all like him to do BETTER, obviously.

AndrewJStone - July 2, 2009 reply

Hopefully we can milk our OBP....Allie!

lol i was reading earlier

what a joke

lol

Very interesting about Ibanez - I'd forgotten he played for Lou..

That does throw a little water on the “Lou has to deal with the players he asked Hendry to get for him” theory.

Ibanez...

…ain’t having too bad a year either.

If Piniella can do anything, it is judge hitters. The fact he played for him would have been pretty good info to go off of.

I hear what you are saying

But i don’t think anyone could have anticipated Ibanez having the start he has had.

It propably wouldn’t have happened in Chi-town.

We'll never know!

I didn't see his start happening

Not at 37 and after not being very remarkable on a really bad M’s team last year.

If the issue...

…was truely getting more “left handed”, both Ibanez and Abreu would have been better choices. Bradley has always had more power and been a better hitter from the right side, and when you add in his injury history………

Abreu would've been alright

I was surprised he didn’t get more of a look.

But I liked the Bradley signing. He’s not a great LH, but he’s a good defender and brings some … swagger. Which is what I thought we needed.

Now if he’d hit… I might even be right.

I agree with you about bradley.

I agree with you about bradley.

Me too

me too

I was a big Ibanez fan in terms of getting him

But I don’t think too many people here can say “I told you so” when it comes to Bradley’s performance. Some folks here can certainly claim his attitude concerned them prior to the signing, but few people on this board predicted or could have predicted he would become impotent at the plate.

No one saw this coming, obviously. The dropoff is mind boggling and it is hard to blame Hendry when a guy just falls off statistically for no apparent reason.

BeltwayCubsFan - July 2, 2009 reply

Soriano too..

And, actually, Miles for that matter (no… he didn’t always suck – career .300 hitter RISP). It’s been a very strange year for the bats. – Kind of like getting “tails” 10 times in a row.

Agree

I liked his signing, of course knew about his volatile nature, but was persuaded by reports that his teammates never had a problem with him. (before I knew of Al’s friends)

I don’t blame Hendry at all for Bradley struglling, and I still have faith in his signing and making a good difference with this team. He has a good track record of hitting, he has just had a long adjustment period.

I like the Bradley signing too..

I think his talent/capability level is WAY above where he’s at right now. I hope it’s just something adjusting to Wrigley and Cubdom – it’s kind of a fishbowl for even low-key players where you need a thick skin. Not sure if he adjusts to this or not at this point..

23 homers and 110 ribbies

is pretty damn good on a “really bad” team.

AzCubfan24 - July 2, 2009 reply

damn

i knew i shouldn’t have gone off memory… should’ve looked it up.

I will be in attendance

And the Cubs won the last three games I was at. Plus I’ll be wearing my lucky hat (3-0 in it; not the last three either), and I plan to keep score, and when I do that, they’re 4-0. Needless to say, to quote Homer Simpson, “I like those odds!”

gauchodirk - July 2, 2009 reply

That picture of McClung is classic.

Basketball John - July 2, 2009 reply

Demp and McClung look like they're having a staring contest.

Let's hope...

…Dempster can find (and keep) a good release point tonight.

I hate watching him when every hitter is 2-0/3-1, and he has 80 pitches by the 4th inning.

Which of our pitchers DO you like to watch when they do that?

None...

…but Dempster drives me crazy with it.

TWSS

Yeah

I like Demps… but watching his 9th inning high wire act nearly killed me

I even hate when the other team's guy is like that

Games take forever that way

I need a fast game tonight like the last few.

Got plans, but hoping I can see most of the game.

Let's hope he turns it around

Dempster is 1-1 with a 5.84 ERA in two starts versus the Brewers in 2009.

Does anyone have the lineup for tonight?

Thanks in advance

Fuld — LF
Riot — SS
Bradley — RF
Lee — LB
Soto — C
Baker — 3b
Blanco — 2b
Demp — P

idk if thats the order though

oh and fukudome in CF and batting before Baker and after Soto

Are you just guessing?

someone posted it in the baker trade thread

He was joking.

boy do i look stupid

I wasn't joking

but that wasn’t official, either. Just my guess.

Haven't seen the offical one yet

hopefully soon

Geez, is like 5:00 ever going to get here?

well.. it is HERE

how about 7?

The game will be over by then for me. :)

It will only be a 2 hr game?

A guy can hope, can't he?

Yep

It's 5 oclock somewhere

LT - July 2, 2009 reply

The question for Lou & Co is not what if they had Raul it is

what to do now with what they have.

Lou has to take this bull by the horns and establish or re establish they play for him and play to win.

Playing Fuld is a start. Moving things around until things click is another

Ivy Walls - July 2, 2009 reply

csn

has Fuld starting in LF

cozmotaylor123 - July 2, 2009 reply

Dome in the lineup then..

have not heard them say the whole lineup

Lou to rest him just like other mgrs have done with struggling players

cozmotaylor123 - July 2, 2009 reply

Any ROH fans here?

Wrestling?

yezzir

I don't follow it, but some a few of my friends really like it.

Seems like from the response there’s not much overlap between ROH and MLB fans around here..

Rut ROH...

Yeah.

I’m an avid fan, went to the show in Chicago Ridge last Saturday. Guess there isn’t much overlap then. Just putting the word out, if anyone here likes wrestling, not the lame WWE garbage, check out ROH!

Soriano leading off Tomorrow

will start tomorrow

ccav23 - July 2, 2009 reply

Heard it in Lou's Press Conference

ccav23 - July 2, 2009 reply

And I have tickets for tomorrow.........

just ruined my day

ruins your day to see one of our best hitters in the lineup?

FYI, Padres/Astros

@ Petco…currently in a ….“bee delay.”

Bees seem to be swarming the field. 2 out, top 9th. 6-1 Astros.

Bee delay?

Yikes.

I thought the Bees had retired for the Astros.

Would have been better 2 weeks ago

when they were playing the..A"s.

ROFL!

I heard there was a 3 ft. column of bees in NYC this week too … what is the world coming to? Cue Hitchcock!

Sterling Hitchcock?

Awesome!

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

slcathena - July 2, 2009 reply

FYI...

This game is also on the MLB Network tonight

kanderber - July 2, 2009 reply

It's a 30 minute delay with those pesky bees, right now in SD

I wonder if they get to count the bees in their attendance totals..

Listening to b-cast...

beekeeper on way to Petco Park.

Are they near the crowd?

no theres apparently a couple thousand in a players jacket

The Candyman plays for the Padres?

LOL

daeviant - July 2, 2009 reply

It's Heath Bell's Jacket..

The Cubs just offered him and the Pads a “sweet” deal for a trade…

(um… sorry.. that was really bad)

Sorry Honey.

Must have been playing the "B" squad

So did this guy smuggle them into the stadium or what?

Is it Hank White?

all is takes is a fallen queen

A-Ram at 85%

Is probably still the best hitter on the team.

daeviant - July 2, 2009 reply

seems to bee....

a group of bees…under a jacket…near the stands……nobody wants to go near it. XX Radio says the Padres have a “beekeper” on speed dial…..and he has asked to come to the park.

Were Ted Lilly in attendance...

…he would eat the bees like popcorn and dropkick their hive into the Pacific.

lillys their beekeeper

If Ramirez, Johnson, and Guzman come off the DL Monday...

Who goes? Hart, Fuld, and… Blanco?Fox? That’s going to be a tough choice between Blanco and Fox.

I sure did love watching the glove work on Blanco for the last month.

Me too...

But I like Fox’s bat more, but he becomes mostly a bench player with Aramis back. I think he goes down to get AB’s.

I just hope Blanco stays

we need a solid glove in the IF

Myabe just Hart...

and someone else goes on the DL?

Hoffpauir?

Donbedouin - July 2, 2009 reply

Based on performance..

You have to wonder. He’s not adjusting to the scouting reports on him. (LBR too)

I'd like to see LBR go...

But again, that’d be Hendry admitting a failure. Probably not gonna happen.

Why is Bradley hitting cleanup? Seriously?

jerry morales rules - July 2, 2009 reply

Beause Sori is not leading off

and there has to be an easy out near the top of the lineup.

He's not an "easy" out...he just doen't hit the ball well enough right now to warrent being in that spot in the lineup.

Would 5th make you happy?

yes...or 2nd or 6th.

he can get on base…and that’s about it lately.

Easy Out?

yeah…. 380 OBP, easy out.

Umm... 358 actually.

But your point stands.

kanderber - July 2, 2009 reply

Lee the best hitter right now..

The goals is to put protection behind him. That said, I think Soto is the best choice based on current success. But, if Bradley can’t produce in an RBI slot in the batting order, we need to find out sooner rather than later. Lou’s still trying to figure out what he’s actually got on this team, and it’s taking a lot longer than he thought (Or maybe it’s not, but I’m too chicken to share my conspiracy theory about that.. for now).

Um...

But, if Bradley can’t produce in an RBI slot in the batting order, we need to find out sooner rather than later.

he can’t

He always has until this year

But..

That’s what’s so strange – and that’s why I think Lou’s giving him more time.

We're chasing 3.5 games and have been without our best hitter...

the past month and a half wasn’t the best time to “give him more time”.

The whole team, except for Lee, has struggled most of the season.

Meh..

I’ll vote for giving him more time. If he still sucks on mid August, I’ll get on the “he was a bust” bandwagon.

he doesn't suck...he's just not a middle of the order bat so far this year.

i agree

sample size, too much pressure, etc etc

it's the only time

we’ve had.

The point isn't that he needs more time

The point is that there’s scant evidence that batting #4 in the order negatively affects Bradley’s game. You say “he can’t” hit in the cleanup spot and bring 48 plate appearances as your evidence?

If you want to argue that his skills, as expressed this season, don’t line up well with the duties of a cleanup hitter then I agree fully. He should probably be hitting either ahead of Lee or down in the order until he hits the ball with authority for a few straight games. But don’t use meaningless stats in meaningless quantities.

aldimond - July 2, 2009 reply

nice way to throw the baby out with the bathwater...

just label all evidence as meaningless and you win I guess.

his OPS with RISP this season is .816

his career OPS with RISP is .816

Uh oh, here comes the OBP argument.

how much is O, how much is S

Do you have a breakdown somewhere?

false cognate - July 2, 2009 reply

i used discubbobulated's link above

check it out

now if we could only have most of that number be from slugging instead of obp....

walks don’t drive in runners unless the bases are loaded.

dusty? dat you?

you know what I mean...

yeah but

i dopnt really care if its O or S, how many RBIs someone has, etc. just keep getting on base and we will score

Thank you, I agree too

We can get RBIs from anywhere in the lineup, not just 3-4-5.

I can't tell whether or with whom you're being agreeable/disagreeable..

You know what really stood out on that statline.. He only has 39 ABs with RISP this year. all year! That might to a little to explain the RBI problems. What the HELL have we been doing with the 1-2 hole all year???

i defn fall on your side of the arg more than SWL's

he needs more time and he has always been a fairly productive hitter

theres not that much about bradley atm that should frighten any pitcher

Really glad Fuld got another start.

let us welcome him into the Fuld

I really hope Font could breakout of this slump tonight..Please

cubbiepride - July 2, 2009 reply

I predict

a Fontenot home run tonight.

paulucla - July 2, 2009 reply

I hope your right..getting Font going would be a big lift for this offense

cubbiepride - July 2, 2009 reply

you think it means anything when a girl you want to get to know turns out to be a Cubs fan, and you had no Earthly idea she was even into baseball?

probably not

Craig in South Bend - July 2, 2009 reply

It means she wants you

or that you’re not very observant. My guess is the latter.

You're Probably Right

I dated a girl a while back that was nuts about the Cubs, but was also a die-hard Michigan fan. So that ended up pretty much a wash, but it was nice during baseball season.

If the Cubs win today.. NL Central 1-5 standings

will be withing three games of each other.

It'll be cool when 1-5 are the same with games back and total games back.

I can just see the headline..

Cubs lose series finale to Milwaukee, fall below .500 to fifth in the division. 1/2 game out of first.

Wrong.........

Cubs win 3 out of 4 to pull within 1.5 games of Brewers

Damn.. I noticed that too... Was hoping you'd all let it slide..

no problem

would be cool, but it's not possible

for the cubs to end this series a half game out.

They can be: .5 ahead, 1.5 behind, 3.5 behind, 5.5 behind, or 7.5 behind

I said 1.5 out

I could have sworn his ERA was at like 4.50 a few days ago and now it’s at 4.09. Not complaining, would love to see his ERA drop below 4.00 tonight, I just thought it was higher.

I might be mixing him and Rich Harden up.
