    we have a 2nd baseman - soriano, move him there and put fuld in left

    And shortly after, Soriano sets the record for most errors ever for a second baseman....

    you dont think he is better at second than left?

    It's hard to say. I really haven't seen him at 2B in a long time. I just think that for someone who doesn't have a very good glove, the last thing you'd want him to do is put him in the infield going after balls coming at him at a much faster velocity.

    I dunno. I just think the guy is worthless.

    agreed with him seeing more balls - that might be worse for our terrible D?
    but at 2nd we at least have a stable option than the three stooges right now (baker, fontenot and miles) and then fuld can stay at left and lead off?
    and yes, what an overrated and overpaid piss of shit he is

    FUCK!!!!!



    God damnit! You're right Speedy! What a fucking piece of shit! I've said the exact same shit all f'n year! "Kevin Gregg sucks ass and should not be playing baseball, let alone closing for a big league team".

    FUCK!

    I'd take anyone in the Cubs pen in the 9th (other than piece of shit/can't throw a f'n strike Marmol) over Gregg! Shit...I'd even take a position player coming in and closing over that asshole!
    I'm sure Theriot can throw a few strikes...right? :lol:


    FUCK!

    I was surprised that Gregg has only given up three walk-off hits, I thought he gave up at least five. Jeez he stinks, but I'm sure Chicago and everyone else has known that..

    Glad they are on the west coast this week, cause it means I will not waste my time staying up late watching these worthless pieces of shit. Didn't even tune in at all last night, and damn glad I didn't.

    Way to not only make a closer change too late Lou, but also not chosing the correct guy. Yes Gregg sucked ass and it's good he's been removed from this role, the next step would be the team, but why the fuck would you give Marmol the job? He hasn't been able to throw a strike to save his life. The job should have went to Guzman, he's our best option. Way to fuck up another thing. The life of being a Cubs fan.

    Marmol is the closer. :shock:


    Too bad we are sucking ass once again against the Padres.


    I kinda wish the Cubs would just start losing consistently so I didn't have to put up with this shit anymore....

    I am back from my visit to Milwaukee and Chicago. Wrigley Field was awesome. The Cubs beat the crap out of the Pirates 17-2. The Pirates play a very similar game to my beloved, downtrodden Royals.

    Wrigley was bustin' with busy Cubs fans. Turns out that the game was the highest attended game so far this season, as of August 14. Took the Red Line south from Howard Station in the North because of the parking garage there. Stepped off at Addison into the crowd and enjoyed every moment.

    I really dug the old time scoreboard. And there were no replays. No rap music to introduce the player who is up to bat. Just the ol' ball park organ music. Just the basics, thank you very much!

    I wish Ed coulda been there to sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame!!

    Go Cubs!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Marmol might not be the man but why not find out now? The season is done and Piece Of Shit is out of contract so might as well see if has the gonads for the job?

    Can someone explain to me how the fuck Soriano does not understand how opposing teams are going to pitch him? Does this stupid fuck not know English and how to read a scouting report? He continually swings at every first pitch, get's in more 0-2 counts than anyone in baseball and never, ever lays off a pitch that is low and away. It so obvious it's coming and why any pitcher would throw anything else is beyond me. Again he strikes out on 3 pitches with the bases loaded. Dammit for fucks sakes, learn how to make some mother fucking adjustments. Sadly we are stuck with this mother fucker for 5 more fucking years. I wish he could just get his worthless ass ran out of town. Sad thing is I didn't even mention his fielding. Enough is fucking enough.
