New poll idea: Does Hendry deserve an extension? I know there is a very vocal crowd that would answer "no" but I'd be anxious to see what the general consensus is on the subject. Just a suggestion....

Really good article, along with some more Pinhead bashing on lineup construction at BP (Free) http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=7201 Pretty much meshes with my opinion on the subject, except when he says 'There’s no evidence that teams with more speed perform better than ones with less, and in fact, speed has often been a contraindicator of success (speed teams often lack the primary characteristics)'. I have to question that. Given two teams with identicle hitters, but one has superior baserunners, I am sure that the fast team is going to score both more earned and unearned runs, as long as they're reasonable succesful stealing basis and do it in high leverage situations. Lou's lineup today: Pie Fukudome Lee Colvin (?!) Soto Fontenot McGehee Patterson Dempster Probably has four of nine in the right place, unless you go by the '2nd leadoff batter' theory, in which case it's three.

Read the article, fix my spelling errors. I think living in a foreign land is making my normally bad spelling even worse.

Bases loaded walk from Dempster in the 1st inning :( Come on Dempster!!

Submitted by The Real Neal on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 03:30 pm

Tony Gwynn triples to right field corner and Fukudome couldn't throw him out, no mention of the strength or accuracy of his throw. Parachat, I am bored!

Then Dempster wakes up and mows down the 9,1,2 hitters on comebacker, K and not - dangerous flyout. The Brewers announcers say he looks more comfortable from the stretch.

Anyone have an update on him? I know he is sidelined with a sore shoulder, but any idea how long he is out?

I think Cubs.com said they were aiming for Thursday.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 03:53 pm

He was much better in the 2nd and third innings. Maybe he has always been one of those guys who has trouble in the first, then settles down. That would explain his erratic behavior as a closer. It also meshes with my theory that he gets better with more work.

Nice homer by FUKUDOME! Picked up a low one and knocked it out of right field.

He looks great today. 3-3 with a 2 out rbi and his first homer. Great to see. Maybe he is more comfortable in the 2 hole.

Submitted by The Joe on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 03:41 pm

Everyone is more comfortable in the 2 hole.

What is he acting like "The Shooter"?

Tennessee or Iowa in Jose Ascaino's future...

Funny thing is, when they were talking about the large attendance, the made a special point to say there a lot of fans "Cubs AND Brewer fans". When it comes to criticizing the fans though, they're quick to forget that and divorce Brewer fans from the crowd.

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch out here bunting for a hit with the infielders back.

    it worked.

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Cubs recall RHSP Hayden Wesneski and select RHRP Colten Brewer from AAA Iowa (Brewer was Iowa's closer), option Luke Little and Daniel Palencia to Iowa, and transfer Julian Merryweather to the 60-day IL.  

    BTW, Brewer is out of minor league options in case that becomes an issue at some point.

    Also, now that Merryweather has been transferred to the 60-day IL, he cannot be reinstated any earlier than June 5th. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Busch has been great so far, but the Dodgers are one of the orgs I’m always leery of trading with. They’re so savvy about their internal scouting.

  • videographer (view)

    Here is an interesting thought:  There seems to be an assumption that the Cubs had to trade 2 prospects to get Busch with Almonte thrown in to even out the trade.  What if the initial trade was Ferris for Busch, but Hoyer wanted Almonte (a cheap RP) and Hope was the ask from the Dodgers.   This scenario makes the trade more complicated to ponder the future ramifications.
