Yeah, is it really necessary for the Cubs to get crazy production from every last spot on the field? Center is the only place that’s not hitting, and you’re scoring tons of runs – why not keep the best defensive guy possible out there and hope his offense comes around?

The phrase I took issue with was “desparately”. A team leading all of baseball in scoring doesn’t “desperately” need anything.

And one could make a case the Cubs hit better against lefties because of the high amount of horrible shitty lefties in the NL they’ve faced. Ohp! Don’t look now but there are two more coming up this weekend.

For that matter, wasn’t Fukudome the LH stick in the OF the Cubs so desperately chased in the offseason? Still, we’re hitting 19 points higher against lefties than righties right now (and 26 points of OBP), so I guess there’s at least an argument for it.

What is that dipshit from Cardinals Diaspora talking about?

“But it�s about the PT right? From the get go he may get more playing in Chicago time than anywhere else, since the Cubs desperately need a LH stick”

The Cubs have the best offense in baseball right now. They ‘need’ a LH stick like Busch stadium needs more toothless women wearing Rolen jerseys.

because i enjoy pain, i started reading through the mariotti shit. my “favorite” part has to be where he says that maddox has no natural gifts. the ability to put the ball anywhere he wants it is not a natural gift? really? i mean, maddox “never has been a rock star” and he apparently farts a lot, so that makes him an average to good ballplayer.

and then he compares him to eddie harris from major league. stay classy, jay mariotti. i hope to smash your knees in with a tire iron if i ever meet you.

Well Kerm, maybe if you told me there were delicious Triscuit crackers I could have enjoyed them with you.
