Cubs pick up Monroe

Featured Replies

Why???

 

With Sheff hurt and out indefinitely...who's going to spot DH??? I don't understand this move for the Tigers.

DH - Thames, LF - Maybin, CF - Granderson, RF - Ordonez

 

Monroe was designated for assignment a few days ago.

Hendry trying to set the record for most transactions in one season.

This is our annual sixty-one: the single-minded harping record. You're trying to set a record for most Cubs comments, breaking either Hangar's record or Cuck the Fubs: last year Flash tried to break the record with Liriano: SSI71 is trying to break the record with Walker but he's faltered of late: WhiteSoxFan101 is trying to crack it with Ozzie: LV wants to do it with Rowand, but he doesn't have the longevity or the total posts on it to make it: I'm trying to do it this year with Gavin Floyd and John Schuerholz.

I've posted about the Cubs before??? I don't think so...and actually, this was more of a Tigers question. Thanks for playing though.

Anyone societally involved in Chicago who is known as a White Sox fan is impacted daily by the happenings of the cubs right now. I have to admit a cub win stings a whole more than a Sox loss at this point in time. The fact that they are a mediocore team that is luckier than s*** is the worst part about it. They could easily have been swept by the Giants and I am not sure what is going to happen today but they are lucky f***s who are treated in the media like they are 40 games over. The history and media bias is what really pisses me off and why I despise them and opine on them more often any anything other than the White Sox. They are the f***ing Los Angeles Clippers yet are treated like the Yankees and Red Sox. They can not even call the Cardinals rivals yet they pretend that they are.

monroe is a great hitter of the high inside fastball. He kills those pitches and has shown that he is a decent #2 hitter. Of course this year he regressed into a player that was dfa. Now the cubs want to pick him up so yet another player can block the dev of Matt Murton.

Just a quick question, who's worse, Juan Uribe or Craig Monroe?

:uhoh

 

Uh, I was clearly teasing fathom. Thanks for playing.

 

:hawk: :violin :snr

Hey maybe the Cubs will finish like 3 games above .500 now.

Uribe by a long shot. Monroe rakes against lefties and his 30 hr's last year and 5 in the playoffs.

When listing, use semi-colons instead of colons.

I know. You can see my political blog for that, as when I list like that, I use semi-colons but for some reason, I didn't this time. It was a real reason to me at the time, rather than an oversight, but I don't remember why.

That's what everyone said about the 05 White Sox, 'lucky', but that didn't kill our buzz any, did it?

A lot of things have to fall into place for a team to win the WS and luck is one of them.

LOTTA baseball left to play this season. Chill out, me thinks you'll be smiling in Oct. ;)

We were wire to wire best team in the division, won 99 games and ran 11-1 through the playoffs. The cubs are 4 games over .500 in the worst division in baseball and have zero chance at 90 wins.
