Judge it!
I just looked at the stats for all the Cub position players who have made rookie of the year since I started listening and then watching (Ernie, Billy, Jerome W. and Geo). Then I checked to see if my memory regarding Matt Murton was right...297, better than any one of them. More homers than all but Billy, I think. Did he get too many appearances his first season up to make that 297 qualified for Rookie of the Year? His first season he hit 312...I don't remember the number of AB.
For us fans (of baseball, not just the red headed kid) this has got to be one of the great mysteries, no? It's old old stuff for Cubby fans...I suppose there are even spme new folks who don't remember him at all. Do you have a guess at a reason for his apparently so star crossed career, so far?

MLB whispers: Mark DeRosa on long losing stretch
Everybody loves Mark DeRosa , but he must be one frustrated guy. His teams entered the weekend having gone 34-53 since the last week of the 2008 season.

Nice way to get people to read your column Phil "Mark DeRosa on a long losing Stretch" anything DeRosa related is a hot topic.

I would not be shocked if KW was dealt a hand by the Snakes to see what the Sox could deal them for Haren.

No kidding. |

Is it not ironic that Ibanez and Dunn are being looked at as potential allstars, while the Cubs are stuck with Milton Bradley, who was the first of all the F.A. OF'ers selected by our outstanding GM. Of course it's not ironic, it's pathetic.
And i think i'm still fuming from that comment in an earlier article by vodka Lou, that he's so happy, that Bradley appears to be swinging the bat so much better. He must be drinking doubles on the vodka, or else watching some other player named Bradley, because other than the homer he hit today, a meaningless shot, for his first in almost two months, Bradley aint swinging nothing but blanks. Perhaps his ability to draw a walk is what's impressing Pinella so much. |

Hey, this is a good time to trade for Peavy, probably get him for nothing. hahahahahahaha

But DeRosa is such a difference maker... He was the sole reason that the Cubs won 97 games last year! I mean, what with his 65 HRs,.410 BA and 195 RBI, while playing every position on the field simultaneously. It must be the fault of every other player on those other teams that they are not winning. Can't blame DeRosa. No, sir. Greatest player to ever don a Cubs uniform.

Hey Peavy, ever heard of karma? Your ankle is the price you pay for being such a jerk toward the Sox. You should have jumped at a chance to play for them. Enjoy watching the rest of the season on the bench.

What are the "Sox"?? Do they play somewhere near Chicago? |
||||
They're the only baseball team in Chicago. |
||||
++++++++++ Please finish your sentence. They're the only baseball team in Chicago that no one cares about. |

Regarding the question of Murton in post#1, he was given ample opportunity to show that he was an everyday player; he did not. Average speed, below average arm, and inadequate pop for a corner outfielder.Good guy though.

Chicago has one baseball team and they play at US Cellular Field.
There's also a national team (not "National League" but rather a nationally-marketed team) that happens to play half of its games within the city limits of Chicago. Anyone who doesn't understand that isn't paying attention. |

Once again, you got it wrong moron. I see you didn't write anything negative about Harden's meltdown yesterday. You are probably the worst of the worst so-called "columnists" in the city of Chicago with the exception of hanley at the Sun-Times. Your columns suck big time!

How did Phil Rogers get this gig? Anyone, I mean anyone can write a better general baseball article. I missed the days when Jerome Holtzman wrote about baseball or those old cigar smoking guys on WGN radio talking about baseball.
I offer my services to the Tribune Co. as a baseball insider. I can connect the fans with the players and the game. I only ask for a salary that both sides can work with, a laptop, expenses for all playoff series, and an assistant who can check my spelling and grammer. I prefer a female who loves the game of baseball. Please reply. |

How About These "Finishes": A. They're The Only Baseball Team In Chicago With A WINNING RECORD! B. They're The Only Baseball Team In Chicago That's Won A World Series Since The Invention Of The Television! C. They're The Only Baseball Team In Chicago That Plays In A Ballpark That Doesn't Stink Of Stale Urine! D. They're The Only Baseball In Chicago That Promotes BASEBALL, Not The Worlds Largest Beer Garden! E. Like 28 Other Major League Teams, They Are The Only Baseball Team In Chicago That Must Be Successful To Draw. The Cubs Draw About 3 Million Fans A Year. The Sox Draw About 2.5 Million fans A Year. If It Makes You Feel Beter To Think That Means "No One Cares" About The White Sox, Well, Good Luck With That. Enjoy Your Attendance Trophy. It's The Only One You'll be Getting! |

Another Cub-Obsessed White Sox fan.... What would they do without us? I guess every family needs an annoying little brother. |

Phil, you are such a pp///rr///ii///cc///kk. Take your lover, DeRosa, with you.

I....I.....I.....I always like da Cub!

“Go Cubs Go!” Since: Sep 07
Homewood ISP: Oak Lawn, IL |
Bobby Cox is at wit's end with shortstop Yunel Escobar, whose effort doesn't always match his ability. It wouldn't be shocking if the Braves shuffled shortstops before the All-Star break, perhaps adding a veteran such as the Astros' Miguel Tejada, the A's Orlando Cabrera or the Orioles' Cesar Izturis, who is a couple of weeks away from getting back on the field after appendicitis....
They would shuffle Escobar??? This guy absolutely killed the Cubs in the series last week with his glove! Some of the best D I've seen at short stop in a long time... |

Daily Horoscope for December 26
Pisces
Mercury's retro phase in Capricorn will raise questions in your mind about a friend or loved one during the next two weeks. You might wonder what they're playing at and have to ask them to be straight with you, or you could work hard at overcoming the current problems between you so you're able to enter a much more positive phase in your relationship.
