Holy Cow! (to quote a late, great broadcaster for the Cubs)
Reed Johnson of the Cubs just robbed Prince Fielder of a GRAND SLAM in a 6-2 game that would've tied the game. Was definitely well over the fence.
AWESOME.
And it would've been Prince Fielder's first career grand slam.
Ain't baseball a funny game. :)
ARG, I have Prince!!!

LOL, in fact, it says his autobiography was entitled "Holy Cow"
Lol...wow. I checked before I said that, but, I looked at Harry CarEy's Wikipedia page. OOPS!Quote:

He used to say "Holy Cow" a lot. Trust me. I didn't even know about Phil Rizzuto, cause I've not heard him much.
Guess I should've picked a better example. :o
Wikipedia = Super Source

I don't think the Cubs ever assumed they would get a fully healthy Bradley for all three years, does he not have an injury prone career?Quote:

A common misconception about wikipedia is that no one checks. If it's a major enough issue, it's pretty well checked by the wiki staff and the entire internet.Quote:

OK, maybe it's me that needs to pay more attention to the forums. :o

why not even try him? other then weeks, didn't he do a pretty good job tonight, I was sort of paying attention to UckerQuote:

Marmol takes Gregg out to the woodshed and whips him like a rented mule. On a championship caliber team (which I assume the Cubs want to be, seeing as it's been a little while) he's a middle reliever, perhaps even a long reliever. What he's doing as a closer I have no idea, other than the fact that he closed for the Marlins the last 2 years, which of course makes him an experienced closer, while Marmol has never been a closer, which of course makes him an inexperienced closer. There's only one way to solve this: make Marmol the freakin' closer and what do you know in a year or two he's an experienced closer. :confused: I just don't get why the best pitcher isn't getting used properly, but hey what do I know? I'm just a friggin' baseball sim player.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE ! ! ! ! DAMMIT ! ! !Quote:

Agree totally. Gregg may have been a closer the past couple of years but he blew quite a few saves. Think he blew 9 last year. I remember him with the Angels being a good set-up man or middle relief guy and he would be better suited for that now as well. He walks way to many for my liking. Marmol has lights out stuff as he led all relievers with 114 K's last year and has looked excellent so far early on. As I said earlier he needs to be the closer sooner rather than later.Quote:

Soriano should be bringing guys in, not trying to get on, which he doesn't seem to even try to do. he hits doubles and homers and strikes out...his obp last year, .344 and is a lifetime .328 obp guy....those are terrible numbers for a leadoff guy, and he no longer really steals bases.19 each of the last two seasons. I don't get that, and I don't see why they don't even just let Marmol try out as closer, he pitched great last year, he is more of a dominant pitcher then Gregg as well. I don't get some of the things Lou does. Like batting 5 righties in a row etc etc etc.
Soriano bats lead off because he doesn't like batting elsewhere. Simple as that.
