A brief look at an opponent we play over the next two weeks.
Dates we play them: 6/16-6/18 @ Wrigley, 6/26-6/28 at home
Offense: A potential batting order and lineup: Alfonso Soriano-LF, Mike Fontenot-3B, Milton Bradley-RF, Derrek Lee-1B, Geovany Soto-C, Kosuke Fukudome-CF, Ryan Theriot-SS, Aaron Miles-2B Bench: Reed Johnson-CF, Bobby Scales-IF
Alfonso Soriano, he of the .327 career OBP and .515 career SLG is still leading off. This has always baffled me. I know he is more comfortable batting lead-off (or something), but those numbers scream that he should be further down in the lineup. AlSo has been in a bit of a slump this month (and season). While the potentially 33 year old may be slipping a bit due to old age, it's more than likely that this slump is BABIP-related, as he is .054 points below his career norm (this will be a common theme today). The $136 million-man will be playing for the Cubs until 2014, because no team is going to want to pick that contract up in a trade (he also has a full NTC). But he seems like such a nice guy. Mike Fontenot should not be a starter. His career splits show he shouldn't be seeing to many lefties, but the shoulder injury to Aramis Ramirez has pushed him into that role. UZR has him looking not-so-hot at the hot corner, as he should be playing second base. And now, Milton Bradley. Milton is known as a crazy person throughout baseball, and deservedly so. That's not why signing the 31 year old to a three year deal was a bad idea. The fact that he is a DH now being expected to play rightfield at Wrigely is. The man is a butcher in the field and trotting him out there everyday is going to lead to him being hurt. He hasn't played in more than 126 games since 2004. He needs his BABIP to swing back (.070 below career norm) or those fans will eat him alive. To say that Derrek Lee really hasn't been the same since his wrist injury back in 2006 wouldn't exactly be fair. It seems more accurate to say that may have knocked him back to Earth. His 2005 season was unholy. Lee continues to provide an above-average bat and glove at first, but don't expect him to stay up north past 2010, when his contract runs out. He is one of the only Cubs' hitters actually hitting like he should so far this season, so if anyone does significant damage from their lineup this week, my money is on him.
Last season's NL RotY, Geovany Soto has had a rough season so far. His power numbers have been way down, most likely due to an early-season injury. All of his secondary numbers except ISO say he should start bouncing back. Here's hoping it takes another two weeks. The forgiveness for Fukudome's mid-season collapse last year kind of surprises me. Yeah, he's doing great right now, but he did the same thing last year in the first half. I'm not saying he'll collapse again after the ASB, but I wouldn't be shocked by it either. The object of every female Cubs fan I know's affection, Ryan Theriot, is hitting way down in the order this season. I think it's safe to call Theriot a grinder, as he hits for no power, steals bases (badly as of late), and plays above-average defense. Essentially, he is an infield version of pre-groin injury Scott Podsednik, with less speed. Aaron Miles has been so bad this year that he makes our troubles at second base pale in comparison. How badly do you think they wish they still has Mark DeRosa?
Pitching: A potential rotation and closer: Carlos Zambrano-RHP, Ted Lilly-LHP, Ryan Dempster-RHP, Rich Harden-RHP, Randy Wells-RHP and Kevin Gregg-RHP
We all know Carlos Zambrano by now. He's an above-average right-hander who strikes out a ton of guys, but walks about half as many every year. He is also the only player in the major leagues who can give Milton Bradley a run for his money as craziest bastard out there. He is mainly a fastball and slider guy, but also uses a cutter and a split-finger as well. Ted Lilly is having a career-year (150 ERA+). The good news for him is he has lowered his walk rate. The bad news is his K rate dropped as well and his opponents' BABIP is .032 below his average. Will he continue to have a good year? Probably. Will it be as good as it has been? Probably not. The Cubs gave Ryan Dempster a Mark Buehrle-esque contract this off-season just before the market crapped out despite the fact that last season was only his second above average season as a starter this decade. He's been good so far, but he is yet another over-30 player with a back-loaded contract, which is starting to make the Cubs look like the Yankees of a few years ago (not the WS winning ones though). Ryan Dempster also had an altercation with the Gatorade machine, leading upper management to remove it from the dugout. Perhaps they would be interested in a different sports drink? Rich Harden has shown signs of humanity this season, allowing two less homeruns so far in about 100 less innings. He's still got his good stuff and is still as fragile as the old people in the Life Alert ads, but maybe the NL is adjusting to him (though it could just be bad luck). Randy Wells will be our doom. He is a slow-throwing righty we've never seen before, which is bad enough for us. The fact that he has been dominating the NL in his 42.1 innings so far is even worse. Kevin Gregg isn't that great of a closer. He gets a lot of strikeouts, be he walks his fair share of guys and is giving up homers at an alarming rate this season.
Outlook: The Cubs are in win-now mode. The farm is barren and their starting lineup only has one guy under 29. While they aren't hitting like they were last year, they should still have a solid lineup once they regress to the mean and their pitching has been top notch so far. But I like us, and seeing as I can't bring myself to pick them to win the season series, my bottom line is us winning it 4-2.

nothing good comes out of this no matte what the decision
I kind of can see how the family just wanted to get this over with. Talk about a night gone wrong. For some people killing another human being doesn’t sit well. I am not sure what kind of person Dante is, but it might screw him up good… I knew a guy who killed someone by accident, dude, he never was the same again. His life pretty much died that night too.
Also, what Stallworth did in my book is way way way worse than Vick’s grooming practices.

The guy wasn't in a crosswalk...
I’m sure the family got a lot of money. Unless it’s a running a red light situation or something along those lines, I for the most part blame pedestrians for pedestrian – car incidents, just because the pedestrian really should be more concerned for their safety. The fact is they more to lose.
In general I rail against drunk driving and am all for the harshest penalties allowed, due to my own personal experiences (not of driving, but of the result of what happened to a friend), but I just find it hard to put too much blame on Stallworth here. I don’t know if him being sober stops this accident, and the guy walking has to be more careful. I have just as much of an issue with stupid pedestrians putting themselves in harm way, jumping in front of my car all the time, so I can understand how something like this happens.
Also WU, the guy is 59, he has a 15 year old daughter who is still alive, not that it makes it any less bad.

more than I probably should have on this incident, but have not seen anything supporting what you state above. Maybe I am just reading the wrong shit.
The guy was actually crossing in an area where the east/westbound lanes were divided by a concrete barrier. Stupid. Really stupid. But, that doesn’t mean I agree with the punishment or lack thereof . . . 30 days is ludicrous. This just speaks to money talking.

Doesn't the fact that he flashed his brights at the guy lead you to some conclusions as well?
Like maybe he should have stopped instead of playing the god complex “get the hell out of my way I’m in a Bentley”?
Facts as they are, he was a dipshit. At least he stopped and took responsibility for his actions.
To add my two cents, people who commit crimes and go to prison often come out criminals.

I agree he’s a dipshit, and committed a crime. I also think, if the other guy followed the law he wouldn’t be dead. Both are to blame, and for that, I think the punishment he has is fine. Assuming he’s even a half decent human, the time in jail won’t matter nearly as much as the guilt anyways.

Stallworth wasn’t driving faster than most of us here do. The guy crossed the street, at night, not at a crosswalk. He put himself in danger. Honestly, who here isn’t driving 50 or close to it, in a 40 mph zone? If I only drive 10 over on the expressway today on the way home from work, I’d probably get rear ended.
I’m completely against drunk driving, and think Stallworth should get the full punishment for whatever a DUI is these days, but at the same time, he wasn’t plowing through a red light, going 30 mph over the speedlimit. The guy was driving 10mph over the speed limit, something just about everyone else out there does. I just don’t think he should spending a long time in prison for hitting a guy at night, in the middle of the street, where there wasn’t a cross walk.
It’s obviously a terrible situation for everyone involved, the family, and Stallworth, but I just don’t see how you can’t think the pedestrian is also to blame. You put yourself in a bad situation and things like this happen.

I didn’t see the 7, I had read this part “who was driving his black 2005 Bentley after a night drinking at a swanky hotel bar.”
My fault, although it doesn’t really change my argument. Pedestrian walks in the middle of the road, not at a crosswalk, it’s on him to pay attention to the cars on the road.

So you think given the information I have (Guy walks across the middle of the street, not at a crosswalk), that the guy driving a car is the only person to blame? Does that change if Stallworth is sober? If so, why? It’s just as possible a guy driving is focused on the car in front of him, or doesn’t have the best vision, or is tired from a long night of working.
The guy walking across the street does’t know if drivers are sober, tired, distracted or drunk. You aren’t going to live a very long life if you just go around walking across every street you come to, assuming people are going to see you and stop.
What is the point of a crosswalk if the pedestrian doesn’t need to use it?

I say people should pay attention no matter where they're crossing. A crosswalk doesn't protect you from shit. And I witness a whole lot of this bullshit every day out here - this reliance on crosswalks replacing people's awareness of their surroundings.
Yes, the guy should be paying attention, but if a car is speeding and running lights and there is another car obstructing the pedestrian’s view, I mean shit….there is responsibility on the driver here.
Especially if he’s been drinking, he knows it, he should drive slower and more cautiously. Period.
You’ve never run across a street to catch a bus or something and when you looked, it was clear, but then a car came out of seemingly nowhere?
And additionally – what the fuck is flashing your brights going to do for a guy in the morning? That’s what your fucking horn is for.

So the fact that I’d save some time on the expressway doesn’t count because I’ll be at stop lights for the last part of my commute? It’s not like those stop lights are going to be longer because the first 30 minutes of my drive was spent going faster than the speed limit. What is your point?
I said if I drove 10 over on the expressway (which would be going pretty slow compared to the rest of traffic), I never said anything about trying to speed downtown through a bunch of stop lights.

Simmer down there big fella
there was a fair amount of busting your balls in my comment, not that you necessarily knew that because I failed to work in “clearly”, but it is silly to be speeding around town because it wastes gas and serves to raise everyone’s stress levels.
You are correct that it can be unsafe to have cars tailgating you and whizzing by you if you are driving 10 MPH below the speed of traffic. In that instance, it’s probably best to just keep up with traffic.
Just to keep those gears turning, on long stretches of open road you may come out a bit ahead on your trips by speeding, but if you look at the larger picture you probably don’t save any time overall because it means you have to refill more often.

Dear Amy
my father — now in his late 70s — constantly surfs the Internet.
He can spend hours playing computer games or looking up and forwarding useless information. He sends countless e-mails to me, my siblings and his friends. The subjects range from politics to humor to pornography.
Some of his friends have told me that they feel harassed by his e-mails.
This has gotten way out of hand. I am not only embarrassed by some of the things he sends, but it has gotten to a point where e-mail has become his favorite means of communication.
I’ve talked to him about it and I’ve even threatened to put him on my spam list, but I don’t think he understands how I feel.

Sophomores: The AL Central
The Chicago White Sox club did not employ many rookies in 2008. In fact, Cuban defectee and middle infielder Alexei Ramirez was the only rookie to see extended playing time for the club. Ramirez, 27, had a fine debut season, although his walk rate was noticeably lacking with at 3.6 BB%. On the plus side, the lanky infielder has almost doubled that rate in 2009 to 7.0 BB% while maintaining an almost identical 12.8 K%. His triple-slash numbers has dropped from .290/.317/.475 to .252/.302/.345. Ramirez’ impressive power display from 2008, which resulted in 21 home runs in 480 at-bats, has bottomed out in 2009 with his ISO dropping from .185 to .093. His offense value has obviously decreased significantly, but he’s moved from second base to shortstop where his defense has been better than average, which helps soften the blow.

I agree with the article. While it is an easy target to make fun of, it is a nice change of pace. Maybe it doesn’t bother me that much because I think Bon Iver does a pretty sweet cover of “Your Love”.

marvin miller in a recent interview expressed frustration with present union leadership

Yep.
Miller really had to fight for rights, so all his gains came with a great deal of pain/conflict. I bet he’s pissed. Similar to black politcos from the 60’s-70’s who aren’t feeling comfy with their place in today’s cozier world. It was much harder for them, and resentments remain for those who have it much easier (since perhaps the younger ones don’t appreciate the struggle as much).
(And I’ve read about 3 diffferent sources referring to this thought. I’m just relating what I’ve read.)

there are probably more than 3 refs
to refer to since there are freaking departments and dissertations devoted to societal attitudes among people of color towards civil rights over time in the us. i would think other conclusions can be reached.
regarding the union, i want to be clear and say that the MLBPA presently, to me at least, doesn’t operate like the other unions i’m familiar with (steelworkers, seiu). what’s ironic, is that marvin miller helped organized them through the steelworkers.

The History Of One Tough Motherfucker
he came to the door one night wet thin beaten and
terrorized
a white cross-eyed tailless cat
I took him in and fed him and he stayed
grew to trust me until a friend drove up the driveway
and ran him over
I took what was left to a vet who said,“not much
chance…give him these pills…his backbone
is crushed, but is was crushed before and somehow
mended, if he lives he’ll never walk, look at
these x-rays, he’s been shot, look here, the pellets
are still there…also, he once had a tail, somebody
cut it off…”
I took the cat back, it was a hot summer, one of the
hottest in decades, I put him on the bathroom
floor, gave him water and pills, he wouldn’t eat, he
wouldn’t touch the water, I dipped my finger into it
and wet his mouth and I talked to him, I didn’t go any-
where, I put in a lot of bathroom time and talked to
him and gently touched him and he looked back at
me with those pale blue crossed eyes and as the days went
by he made his first move
dragging himself forward by his front legs
(the rear ones wouldn’t work)
he made it to the litter box
crawled over and in,
it was like the trumpet of possible victory
blowing in that bathroom and into the city, I
related to that cat-I’d had it bad, not that
bad but bad enough
one morning he got up, stood up, fell back down and
just looked at me.
“you can make it,” I said to him.
he kept trying, getting up falling down, finally
he walked a few steps, he was like a drunk, the
rear legs just didn’t want to do it and he fell again, rested,
then got up.
you know the rest: now he’s better than ever, cross-eyed
almost toothless, but the grace is back, and that look in
his eyes never left…
and now sometimes I’m interviewed, they want to hear about
life and literature and I get drunk and hold up my cross-eyed,
shot, runover de-tailed cat and I say,“look, look
at this!”
but they don’t understand, they say something like,“you
say you’ve been influenced by Celine?”
“no,” I hold the cat up,“by what happens, by
things like this, by this, by this!”
I shake the cat, hold him up in
the smoky and drunken light, he’s relaxed he knows…
it’s then that the interviews end
although I am proud sometimes when I see the pictures
later and there I am and there is the cat and we are photo-
graphed together.
he too knows it’s bullshit but that somehow it all helps.

The forgiveness for Fukudome’s mid-season collapse last year kind of surprises me. Yeah, he’s doing great right now, but he did the same thing last year in the first half. I’m not saying he’ll collapse again after the ASB, but I wouldn’t be shocked by it either.
erm, i wouldn’t say he’s doing great right now, and, in fact, the collapse this year began a while ago. looky here:
