Just got his 5th hit of the game (5 for 5) and hit a 3 run bomb

 

Man this guy is awesome. Currently, he is a triple crown winner candidate (only 4 players from the NL have ever won it).

 

What would I give to have him on the Pale Hose? Why did the Marlins let him go? Stupid move by the Marlins. Instead of paying Delgado, they could have kept him instead.

Ah Neifi Fricken Perez had 4 hits... Dodger pitching was terrible tonight.

Derrick Lee has been just AMAZING this year, no doubt about it. Look in his locker to see if you can find anything from BALCO.

They got Paul LoDuca and Mota at the end of it right?

and a decent player in Juan Encarnacion.

This seriously pains me to say this, but Lee has been the best player in baseball to this point. I hope that fool comes back down to earth soon. And what's with these losers winning 6 in a row? It's cool, the Padres will bring them back down to reality.

Lee has 17 homers now, correct?

 

I gotta bold prediction - he won't hit 40.

Honestly, I can't possibly see that prediction coming true unless Lee gets hurt.

As soon as I heard about the Cubs getting him, I thought "he'll hit 40+ for them for sure". Without his customary slow start, he's basically a lock for 40 or more.

The Marlins need Delgado more than Lee. They desperately needed left-handed thunder.

In the beginning of the year i placed a bet down with my friend that he wont be top 7 in the majors in rbi's. A week ago he cooled down significantly but now im back to shaking my head.

I look at it considering that Lee has almost always hit most of his homers in the first half of the year rather than the second - last year of course was an exception, but even last year, hitting 20 in the second half, he was considerably worse in the second half than the first half, putting up a .249 average and an .826 OPS to go along with those 20 homers.

 

What IS scary to think about is that June has been the best month of his career. .312 33 96 .405/.590/.995 splits for June in his career.

LoDuca and Mota came from the Dodgers in exchange for Brad Penny and Hee Sop Choi.

 

Lee originally came to the Cubs in exchange for Choi and a player to be named (i have no idea who that was)

The Cubs have won 6 in a row.... they must feel like World Series contenders.

Cubs fans say he's already won the Triple Crown.

 

What I dont get is all the Cubs fans say the Sox will cool off but Lee will get better.

 

The f***ers gonna cool off. He's not that good.

Yeah, he has cooled off. As I predicted, he wouldn't get the RBI's to even have a chance with the Cub offense.

 

Funny, he isn't leading the HR category, hasnt for a while. He has fallen off the RBI pace by quite a bit and is only 9 points ahead of Pujols for the AVG title. At this rate he won't have any of the three at seasons end.

still the flubs fans scream MVP

Lee has had one hell of a season. History says it's a fluke. But I can't hate on what he's done in 2005. I'm just glad this great season he's had still has the Flubs nowhere near the playoffs.
