Cubs vs. Mets

Submitted by Cubnut on
Compare and contrast:
You can just look in their dugout and it's just like panic mode. Guys are pacing up and down the dugout.

--Florida's Cody Ross, speaking of your Chicago Cubs

Randolph, who rarely says anything while walking through the clubhouse with reporters present, saw a cluster of reporters crowded around Wagner and said to no one in particular as he passed by, “We’re still going to win this thing, we’re still going to win it.”

--New York Times

Before anybody asks, I'm not thinking that Randolph is showing any more resolve or confidence than those guys pacing in the Cub dugout. The picture of the Mets manager more or less muttering to himself isn't a very encouraging one if I'm a Mets fan.

Panic mode? I would just say that they are all (Cubs and Mets) feeling the pressure. Who wouldn't?

Hey, we are the team with the 2 game lead with 3 to play. Contrast that with this from today's Milwaukee Journal, (snip)......here's how the Brewers reacted with the chance to win a pennant for the first time in 25 years: Five errors in the 9-5 loss to San Diego. Are you kidding me? It might not be over, but you can almost see the next stop. And it sure looks a lot like the strip malls around Maryvale. One would suppose anything is still possible where the Cubs are concerned, but the Brewers haven't exactly handled this grace-under-pressure thing like a Hemingway character. They blew up in Atlanta, losing their cool with the umps in the process. Then came the dubious revenge factor Wednesday night against St. Louis. Yes, they were going to walk Albert Pujols, anyway. And, yes, it was on Derrick Turnbow to throw strikes. But why worry about getting your leader's back right there? Can't it wait until next year? More to the point, this lost opportunity is becoming a group effort, from the manager to the players to the front office. How ironic was the critical moment in loss to the Padres on Thursday? Bases loaded, two out in the fifth, said leader Prince Fielder at the plate and San Diego brings in Joe Thatcher, one of the Brewers' minor-leaguers dispatched in return for Scott Linebrink. Thatcher has been absolutely lights out from the bullpen during the Padres' playoff chase, allowing almost nothing. And so on a hitter's pitch, 3-1 to the possible MVP, Thatcher coaxed Fielder into a groundout. It was a spirit-crushing moment for the 34,918 fans hoping for one down with three to play, but certainly no more than the Brewers waiting eight years to commit five errors in one game. In this particular game, with all the Cubs have given them, it was unpardonable, just a brutal way to all but determine their fate......(snip)

I don't even think you can compare the Cubs and Mets right now. On September 12, 17 games to go, the Mets had a 7 game lead and the Cubs were only tied for first. And during their fall the Mets took three of four from the Marlins (Sep 20-23). See, you can't compare the two at all.

Chad: "I would just say that they are all (Cubs and Mets) feeling the pressure. Who wouldn’t?" Correct, they all should feel pressure, but it is how they are handling it.

Actually, a whole bunch of Mets fans are very pissed at Willie that he hasn't showed more emotion. If you ask a Met fan, there isn't very much going right in New York. But yeah, I'm sure the Cubs players are stressed. Don't doubt that one at all.

The "big guns" are coming out tonight for the pennant races, should be a great night to watch: Z for the Cubs (against Arroyo) Oliver Perez for the Mets Brandon Webb v. Jeff Francis in crucial AZ/CO match-up Maddux for Padres And the poor souls in Milwaukee are tossing out Chris Capuano because Ben Sheets is, well, Ben Sheets, and this time his little left leg has a boo-boo and feels a little tight.

Submitted by Virginia Phil on Fri, 09/28/2007 - 09:26 am

But yeah, I’m sure the Cubs players are stressed. I don't see it that way. This isn't Dusty's team, where eight regulars in the lineup were going to do or die, probably die. The Cubs have a deep bench. If Monroe is stressed, Murton isn't. If Jones is stressed, that's okay with Felix Pie. Same with DeRosa/Fontenot, Theriot/Cedeno, Kendall/Soto (or vice versa, since Soto has been showing a little stress lately). So I expect a group of Cubs to do a good job, I just can't tell you which ones.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
