    Lost in all this was Brenly who was livid about our pitchers not covering 1st base. Kudos to him. This was the most upset he has been on the air openly disgusted with this teams lack of fundamentals. Brenly said the pitching staff should report for drills at like 5am to practice this stuff after Lee had to slide into 1st base to get someone out. And Brenly was dead on that this was a good way to get Derrek Lee injured by failing to cover 1st. Personally the lazy covering of 1st base is just an overall sign this team has no heart. It seems Derrek Lee is the only one that cares because he actually is working for something, a triple crown bid. The rest of the team is just blahhhhhhhhh. And when you get lazy on simple fundamentals bad things happen. Sickening game all around.

    Adam and the whoever else was in the chat... You do realize I was argueing just to argue last night? You guys were arguing back and forth about whether it was a SO or not you completly forgot it doesnt matter either way. All Barrett had to do was get back to home plate and keep Rollins from running home. Thats all I kept saying after that play. But ohhhh god was it a strike out, was it not? Was it or wasnt it? WHO CARES! Barret screwed up. I was pissed about that and you silly people are argueing if its a SO or not. We lost the game did you happen to notice that? Sorry sarcasm doesn't come over well on the internet but I am glad I pissed alot of you off. You pissed me off argueing about something that didnt even have an outcome on the play. Barret all he had to do was hold the freaking ball and worst case scenerio you have 2 outs bases loaded. Is it fun being frustrated by stupidity in the parachat? Now you know how I feel when you guys were argueing at the end of the game about something stupid. You deserve to be screwed with back. I got a few choice insults for some of you now, but I want this post to be seen, while the rest of your guys insults are deleted. Tata, fun way to lose huh?

    I wouldn't get too excited about Eric Patterson. What I've read suggests to me that he's unlikely to ever be more than a bench player. Solid (but not spectacular) speed and defence, decent patience, pop rather than power, but contact problems, and at 22 he's very old for the Midwest League, so the fact he's dominating (.395 average on balls in play, by the way) is hardly surprising and you shouldn't read too much into it. He needs to be promoted to Daytona as soon as possible, I think, and if he makes it as far as West Tenn, that will as always be the acid test. Trade him for Pudge? Well, that's not going to happen, firstly because Pudge probably won't clear waivers, secondly because we don't need a catcher, hyperbolic miscreants be damned, and thirdly because Pudge is an expensive and overrated player. But ignoring all that, I'd give up E-Pat for Pudge without a second's hesitation.

    trade for pudge? hehe...if anyone wants to pay him he's pretty much there for the taking. same for griffey.. pudge is broken and not the 10-million dollar man...he's all that when he's healthy, but that's about as much as mike sweeney or rondell white over the course of a season

    It's games like these that find me poking around the minor league stats, and I couldn't help but notice one E. Patterson. Through August 2: .330/.407/.504, 30 SB What?! Oh, last night he went 1-2 with a homer, 2 walks and a stolen base. Can you imagine what Harrison High's baseball team was like in 1998, when both Eric and Corey were just raking? They won the state championship after all. I know it's only A ball, but I like this Patterson kid a lot. I don't think we mess around with this one. A poster above mentioned trading E-Patt for Pudge. I imagine it was probably half in jest, but that seems to be a monumental error in judgement. Minor league stats can be misleading, but his patience is for real. He may not always have the average to go with (I don't know his BABIP, John Hill, but it might be very high), but as long as he's walking, ripping line drives and stealing bases--supposedly he's faster than Corey)--E-Patt looks to be a very solid major leaguer. His average seems to be for real, though, as he hit .326 in college at a big time baseball program: Georgia Tech. I'm quite excited and hope to see him in the starting lineup in '07. The only thing that is troubling is the high strikeout total. 76 is a lot, especially at this stage in his career. He is a Patterson after all. It may be something we'll have to live with. But lots o' K's can be forgiven with lots o' OBP. I like this Patterson kid a lot, but I remember saying those exact words five years ago. I haven't given up on Corey. I still love him, but that's another conversation entirely.

    Baker was livid over the lack of execution by Cubs pitchers. "That's what we work on all the time," he said, "You can understand that happening early in the year, but later in the year, it's a natural thing that when a ball is hit to the right side, you cover first base. We gave them six outs in that [second] inning. Ö We gave them three out of four runs." ....ow

    "I mean Lee was throwin out trying to steal 3rd late in a game the other day with Ram at the plate and nobody out in a one run game. Ram singled, burny doubled and they scored nothing and they lost by that one run. So do u guys want to trade Lee now too?" It was a bonehead play but Lee doesn't consistently fail on defense, and he's got a bit more going for him on offense than Barrett. Barrett consistently fails to block the plate, can't seem to hold on to the ball for a play at the plate and rarely throws accurately to 2nd. Ever notice how many 3rd strike foul tips he drops? These things wear on a pitcher. No wonder Z and Prior prefel Blanco. Barrett has a decent bat but he really is a below average catcher.

    If Hendry's entertaining any notion of acquiring Marquis Grissom, he'd damned well better wait until September 1 to do it. Otherwise, he'd just be clogging up a space on the 25-man roster with a guy who should be restricted to one role: Right-handed pinch-hitting specialist. Since that commodity is much less valuable than a left-handed pinch-hitting specialist, and pinch-hitting specialists in general are iffy propositions in terms of roster space, there's no way that Grissom should be on the Cubs' 25-man roster at this point. In September, he becomes a luxury the team can afford. Besides, as Rob said, the temptation might prove too great for Baker to refrain from using Grissom as an actual outfielder. Given that Baker used to manage him, and has a propensity for overvaluing veterans of his from his San Francisco days (Ramon Martinez, anyone? Calvin Murray?), I could see him using Grissom as the Cubs' CF. The meltdown on TCR would get pretty ugly.
