My Cubs fan friends would always play it or bring it up when I was around. But thanks to Jose and the Rally Crede, we hung on and then won the WS!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

longshot7 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) If you can throw Makowiak out in CF where he doesn't belong then you can put Q in RF. Ozzie is over-exaggerating the transition from LF to RF. Fixed it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 We're 8 games back in the loss column, we got 28 games left to play, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

RockRaines Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 11:22 AM) Come on... AJ is one of the only guys on the team who is HITTING the ball. Look at his splits the last two months: - July: .356/.364/.506/.869 - August: .330/.374/.473/.846 And since no one else in the lineup is hitting squat, it makes perfect sense to have him third right now. RBI's in those months: 6 and 9. 15 RBI's with 5 HR. Dont tell me how you hit, tell me when you hit. I'd like SOMEONE to point out where I said the guy doesnt hit. I said the guy doesnt knock in runs.

iamshack Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 11:03 AM) JD is hitting .417 in 12 AB's against Dempster, Kotsay and Rios have never seen him and Wise is hitting .286 in 7 ABs. Dye is hurt. He has some sort of back issue. You could clearly see him struggle with it yesterday. I don't think the Sox announcers commented on it (they may have been told not to), but the Twins announcers mentioned it more than a few times.

Dont tell me how you hit, tell me when you hit. I'd like SOMEONE to point out where I said the guy doesnt hit. I said the guy doesnt knock in runs. Over his career, his BA and BA-RISP are practically identical. The fact that he's currently hitting above his career batting average, yet below his career BA-RISP average probably suggests that both numbers will trend back to their norms. So, when he comes up with people on base, an optimist might say he's due. Because the law of averages suggests he'll catch up.

AJ is hitting just .239 with runners in scoring position. Still, it doesn't help his RBI total either that he spent most of the year batting behind guys that could barely score from 3rd on a single. Knocking in Konerko and Thome has it's own challenges and is a little tougher than knocking in Pods and Beckham.

Knocking in Konerko and Thome has it's own challenges and is a little tougher than knocking in Pods and Beckham. That's the biggest thing right there. It can literally take three hits before AJ gets up for him to be able to knock in a run on a single with the guys he has had in front of him this year.

greg775 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Is anybody a little worried Torres is pitching this game? Cubs have a lot more to play for that we do. They are only what, five back in loss column for wildcard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I am in the phase where I want to see good baseball played and if they lose because the team is betterthan them, fine.

There's the Law of Large Numbers that says a random variable will exhibit its underlying probabilities over large sample sizes, it offers no predictive power. If you flip a coin ten times in a row and get heads each time, you still have a 50/50 shot of getting heads again. Also, in baseball, we're talking about floating averages, not fixed probabilities. There is no probability that will force AJ to start hitting better in certain situations. /statistics rant edit: http://books.google.com/books?id=S9Wk5NqiX...all&f=false Edited September 3, 2009 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan3530 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 i like torres, but would rather him not pitch what is sadly probably the most important game left in the season. at least from the fans perspective. hopefully he does well.
