You must spread reputation around before giving it to pshabi again.


On a serious note, at least it looks like Wood might be back in the lineup within the next couple of weeks or so. Read an article last week that says he might be starting a minor league game soon. I swear, if I hear good news (and I mean good news, like prior is advancing faster then expected and Lee rehabbing within two months, two and a half at most) about the cubs I'll donate a significant amount time to charity or non profit organization this summer.


Only bad part about this is that it's an empty promise. I already ump baseball and softball games all summer long for free. But hopefully Carson Daily's Karma will see me doing good things and bless my favorite team the Cubbies with a little good fortune.

He at least it the cubs arent in the running for the playoffs they cant choke in the playoffs.....am i right???

They're second in the division and if the season were to end today they'd be the wild card seed. I'd give you -rep for this, but I see karma spitting in your eye all year long because of this post.


And the reason for all of the karma references, I just watched a few episodes of My Name is Earl last night. Great show.

Fuckin' fuck fuck.

Having had a night to think about this though, I'm not all that worried.

This isn't last year; there's no Todd Hollandsworth in the Cubs lineup. The bottom two guys in our lineup both hit over .300 in their rookie season last year.

Walker can be counted on for a .300+ average, as can Ramirez. I'm a little worried about Pierre's on base percentage, but I'm confident that Jacque Jones will warm up and be in for a career year. Throw in Barret whose been hitting well ever since the WBC, and you've got a very solid lineup, even without Lee.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still pissed. But I'm not thinking it's the end of the world.

Wow you are hitting the Kool-Aid pretty hard. Jacque a career year? Lee going down is gonna hurt us defensively the most. No more bailouts for Aramis or Cedeno. I am not in panic mode yet. Maybe after this weekend i might though.

I'm holding up my end of this, I already umped four games this week (missed the league tourney for one of the second end of a double header). And where are the cubs? Perez bunts w/ runners on the corners 2 outs and down by two runs. It's like the gods of baseball are laughing in my face.

Without Lee this lineup sucks. Ramirez has absolutely no protection in the order and hence his .220 average. I picked him in the 4th round in one of my fantasy leagues and boy was it so not worth it.
