Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Is Lance Berkman allergic to Cubs pitching? He turns into Dwayne Wise whenever he faces a pitcher with a little sissy bear on his uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If the Cubs don't make it to the top in two years, they better hope like hell Vitters is a monster. Soto, Theriot, and Fontenot are not going to cut it if all their other players start breaking down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soto, Theriot, and Fontenot are not going to cut it if all their other players start breaking down. Who cares, they'll just spend a fortune and get talent in the FA market. Like it or not, Cubs are going to be good for the perceivable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustWin Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 cubs got a lucky call at 3rd...miles didnt get the bag len kasper is just as bad...even brenley said it was a bad call and kaspers just such a b**** They saw it as a make up call. The previous inning there was a missed call on Reed Johnson who was called out at first but was clearly safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesnt make sense, the reason Marmol wasnt the "closer" is for situations last night where he could come in and get a much needed strikeout. So, instead of using Marmol they being in Gregg and ofcourse end up losing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, instead of using Marmol they being in Gregg and ofcourse end up losing the game. true, it just goes to show that their pen is a major weakness for them. I think if Heilman shows anything they'll try him as the 8th inning guy and Marmol as closer. both Gregg and Heilman have a career WHIP of about 1.3, which isn't great for a relief pitcher. Is there an update on Soto? He left yesterday with a sore right shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) Gregg also looked decent enough even though he gave up a run. If the Cubs stay healthy, especially Soriano, they obviously are the class of that division. If they make the playoffs year after year, eventually they are going to strike it rich. Injuries will be key as always but they appear to be the class of that division again. I don't see them making the playoffs year after year. In face I picked the Reds to win the central this year. Cincinnati's young talent is sick, I can see them making the playoffs for the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
