Re: 2009 Chicago Cubs Regular Season
said by cubs4eva  :Maybe he needs TO to give him a pep talk! lol, no kidding, can you imagine the shape he would be in if he had a TO like work ethic?
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.

| 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.

| You know its all about the mighty $$$$. Nothing sells like an I55 series and get double the money 
I'd laugh if it bites them in the ass if it rains either all day or all night on July 12th |

| It's not double the money. It's making up for lost revenue from yesterday. I have no problem with it. The bills have to be paid and one way is asses in the seats.
Why should anybody get to see two games for the price of one?

2 edits | Well you posted while the game was starting so I assume you didn't go?
I don't blame you really. That's why when I get tickets, I don't get any for games earlier than June. |

Last nights game was an easy one to forget about. Not one runner made it past second base. Back in the 4th inning D.Lee was was part of the force out at 3rd base. |

| OK guys hear me out on this.
Trade Lee while you can get something for him. Lefty for our bullpen and maybe a few other minor league pitchers and trade them to SD for Peavy.
This way we could get Hoffpauir in the lineup we would have a decent lefty out of the pen and a true #1 starter.
And as a bonus the DP's would decrease by 50%.

Agreed, Lee had that one great season and has been downhill ever since. |

Lee makes too much money for SD to do that deal. We'd be the ones giving prospects back in that one. |

Oh...misunderstood you there! I still don't see Lee as being tradable to any team for anything really. SD wants too much in the way of prospects anyways for Peavy. I say, let 'em suck on that fat contract of his. Cubs have enough starting pitching to win. |

Spoke too soon, Hoffpauir made a big error in right field and Piniella said he would "rather have a stronger defense in the field than a strong offense". So he's going with "Fukudome in right and Reed Johnson in center"
No room for the "Hoff"  |
