Nice effort Gomes. Vin Baker would be impressed.

I'm sure I will. The way things are going, President Obama will have Buehrle's cock bronzed and put on display at the corner of Michigan and Wacker so every man woman and child will have the opportunity to give The Great Buehrle Penis a hummer.

Just because it's been a while...

We could really use this run... if they pitch around Aramis, I wish Milton would just bat right-handed.

[Clapp]

Thank you Dusty.

[PcB]

ARam's getting his stroke back.

[Andy]

Can we have the clutch argument again? Aramis is clutch.

Me too. Just for a little bit, I'd love to see him hit right handed against a right handed pitcher.

Indeed. I wish he'd take me. I bet he's a tender lover.

It's time for Lou and the Cubs to finally do what's right for this team. Bradley has no business batting in the middle of the order. He doesn't drive runs in even when he is hitting well. He is not hitting for any power. He doesn't provide good defense. The Cubs have to make a decision to play Hoff and Fox in Right despite them maybe even being worse defensively than Bradley.

This team is missing offense. That has been our biggest clunker this year.

You can play somebody else against righties but not against lefties. Bradley came in hitting .303 at home this year too.

I'm all for him batting against the Lefties. But this shit when he bats lefty and just looking pathetic has got to stop.

Yeah it's incredibly bizarre too, he's always been a very good left-handed hitter. Not as good as he is from the right side, but good. He's just not taking healthy hacks and seems to be really thinking up there. Caught in between on everything.

But like I said, he's always been at least pretty good from that side. Starting from 2003 when he became a good hitter in this league:

2003: .287 AVG, .832 OPS
2004: .257 AVG, .783 OPS
2005: .294 AVG, .856 OPS
2006: .270 AVG, .794 OPS
2007: .307 AVG, .937 OPS
2008: .312 AVG, .940 OPS

So this year is a complete shock.

I know this isn't a good argument, but we aren't going to sit a $10mil man 5 days/week to only face lefties. It just isn't realistic.
