fathom Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Reed Johnson has been a godsend for the Cubs. He's batting about .340 against LHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) Reed Johnson has been a godsend for the Cubs. He's batting about .340 against LHP. Time to give Hawk a shoutout -- he's been talking up Johnson for years. If the Pirates have any sack, the next time they play, he'll be knocked on his ass for holding his arm up around the bases. More bush league, Cub bulls***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 At least the Pirates took one game, that's all I was really hoping for. And now the Cubs get the great Houston Astros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if Oswalt sucks vs Cubs, he'll probably throw at one of their hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you like to see replace Yost? Great question, and I'm not sure I have an answer. It's funny, but one guy that I think could actually get them going is Phil Garner. But he was there for so long before, and with such mediocre results (though with different talent), I'm not sure he'd be welcomed. I'd say they need either a calming, elder statesman type (Jim Fregosi, or is he too old?) or a true feisty guy, like Garner or even Bobby Valentine (next year, I guess). Yost, I think, is the worst of all worlds -- wound too tight but not really a credible motivator either.

Brian Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If the Cubs were winning 2-0, this game would of been called by now. They had to evacuate the park for pete's sake cuz of a tornado warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I really wish Davey Johnson would get another shot, he's won everywhere he's been. He's managing the olympic team now, but hopefully he gets a shot in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
