    Why is Soriano playing???
    Besides his terrible bat, he can barely RUN!
    I also love the fact that he doesn't know what base to throw to!! Ugh!!!

    he can sort of run, just can't stop :lol::lol::lol:

    however, his bat has been decent. going into today or yesterday he had 8 dingers in the last 16 games.

    but he does look aweful lugging that left knee around

    quade was a goof ball hired to be a one season manager unless he worked a miracle.

    dale was hired to be a longer term replacement, but knowing it was gonna suck at the start. i don't see him going anywhere for now. 3 years from now....who knows

    Yikes, I foolishly went last night and get to watch them 3 more times over the next week, Fri Sat in Minn and next Thur vs Det. I'm gonna keep track of my price per hit on tickets. Currently at $8.33 a hit. Guessing that will go higher.

    Valid question. Maybe I should learn my lesson. I'll never go a full season without going to a game or 2. I always go to opening day at Wrigley, and for the past few years have tried to limit it to just that at Wrigley. I live in MIL so I typically try to go to a game each series up here, since it is so close (this is a cutback from going to every game up here in the past, too damn expensive now). Since I am only going to opening day at Wrigley nowdays, my plan is to try and go to one out of town series a year at a park I haven't been to. Went to Fenway last year and it was awesome, this year going to Minnesota. As for the Tigers game at Wrigley next week, I don't want to go, but my buddy got tickets back in Feb and assumed I was going, I got the day off of work and I'm not gonna screw my buddy over on the ticket, plus a bad day at Wrigley still beats a good day in the office (if there is such a thing as a good day in the office).

    Plus, you have to support your team, no matter how bad they are. Diehard fans stuck with the Bulls after they tore the championship team apart and were awful - now look where they are.

    I will continue to support the Cubs even we they are beyond awful. I get that the team is bad this year (things can only get better) but I can't stand fair weather fans.

    I guess you can call me a fair weather fan then.
    Because I wouldnt drop $0.10 to go to Wrigley this year, and watch this PATHETIC excuse for a baseball team.

    The Cubs fired hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo Tuesday and replaced him with minor league hitting coordinator James Rowson on an interim basis

    i smell a 20 game win streak coming on

    W1 in PR (post rudy) era. BTW was there a more overrated coach in MLB? Good riddance, what a horrible job he did, yeah, part of it was on the players but this team never had a decent OBP and took walks with him as the hitting coach. He also made sure we were dead last, or damn near in avg w/ RISP.

    I know cain threw a perfecto but I'm off to Wrigley to watch Verlander today, so I gotta think the odds of seeing at least a no-no are pretty decent.

    0-6 on the year, thankfully I only have 1 more game this year. Don't think I've ever seen so many opposing teams fans there for a game. I'm sure it will be the same this weekend vs BOS.
