He does that job so well, I can understand why Lou wants him to be the set up guy... Than again we need someone to close out...
Know what I don't understand, why were they, the Cubs management, is such a hurry to let Wood go...?... I know they would have had to pay him but how much less is Gregg...?...I know Wood wasn't the greatest but we/you knew what you had plus great in the club house... Sometimes $$$ don't make sense in pro sports...
Yes, nice game tonight ... | |

It's awfully early to condemn him I guess.
Agree with ya about Wood as well.

| I can sort of understand getting rid of Wood. He's a lot more money for basically the same statistics. I believe he blew 8 or 9 saves last year as well. I won't deny that Wood's "stuff" is way better than Gregg's though. I think Gregg will come around and do just fine. | |

I remember hearing Lou on the radio when he gave the job to gregg b/c he liked what he saw. I didn't see any spring training games so I don't know who he faced.
I just hope he won't stick with him too long if he keeps blowing it.

| Here are Kerry's stats for last year... Not great but not bad - blew 6 but the k to walks ratio was pretty good, but for a 9th inning pitcher these are not as important as for a set up guy... Just you knew what you had with Kerry... Maybe Gregg will come thru, I'm sure he has put a lot of pressure on himself to do well right a way,,, I agree the season just started lets good him a chance,,,
I'm really more concerned with these other middle inning guys, these walks have to be driving Lou 'NUTS',,, As me...;) ...

| Re: 2009 Chicago Cubs Regular Season Great catch and most likely saved the game...
Still Bradley can't make it a week without getting hurt...
Gregg reminds me of a few closers we have had the last few years... Why can't we get a 1,2,3, ninth... Two outs game is over right, NO... HR, no big deal with a 4 run lead, just throwing the ball over to get the 3rd out... Well now two runners on and Cecil Jr. up and one swing of the bat and we're in extra innings...
I remember my father before he passed would turn off the TV in the 9th, he couldn't take it... I'm almost getting there myself... ...

That said, I've always said I don't give a rats ass about ARam's "laziness". Perform at the plate and in the field better than the majority of players in the league and it's all good with me. I don't buy the "cancer to the team" BS, never have.

| Re: 2009 Chicago Cubs Regular Season Probably true about the work ethic.
Also, I always said I got no problems with the guys production at the plate. He had some "laziness" incidents several years ago that irritated me. Yesterday Soriano had one where somebody hit one by the line and he was just sort of loafing his way out to get it. I still like Soriano, just get irritated when he doesn't hustle at one of the 7 or 8 balls he has to field in a game. Ordinarily I wouldn't buy the "caner to the team" stuff either, but most of the time it originates from their own teammates. If it's just one, not a big deal. If it's a chorus then I have to think there is an issue there. To Ramirez's credit, I don't recall anybody on his team really calling him out so I know he's a pretty good teammate. | |

CHICAGO -- Sunday night's game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals was postponed because of inclement weather, which will give Lou Piniella some time to sort out his bullpen.
The game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader July 12 during the Cardinals' only other trip to Wrigley Field. It will be a separate admission doubleheader, with the first game to start at 12:05 p.m. CT and the second at 7:05 p.m. CT.
Why is it that only rescheduled Cubs-Cards series games are now pay twice, Day-Night doubleheaders at Wrigley???
And yes, I attended the first one that ever occured at Wrigley, both games.

Why should anybody get to see two games for the price of one?
