FDISK is not on the member list, but several of his friends are, including me, so when he's ready, he'll find us.

I want to tell you guys...we didn't lose many.  There are over 100 members listed, many of them lurkers.  They stuck with us.

I'm here, but mostly lurking. I'm down to reading Cubs In '11 and On The Farm, with an occassional post-game glimpse at Today's Game. It's not the new board, it's the mediocre performances. I thought $10 million for Pena was outlandish ($3 or $4 would have been market value, IMHO) when Hendry signed him, and haven't seen or heard anything yet that's changed my mind.

I think the posters are actually performing quite well.

Bruce Miles:

Several players are suffering home run droughts of varying lengths. To wit:
• Marlon Byrd has not homered since Sept. 6, 2010.
• Carlos Pena has not homered since Sept. 28, 2010.
• Jeff Baker, who has hit well overall, hasn’t hit a homer since April 8.
• Tyler Colvin, who was in Wednesday’s scheduled lineup, has not hit a home run since April 12.
• Another power hitter, Aramis Ramirez, homered last on April 6.
• And Geovany Soto hasn’t homered since April 8.

And Soriano is on a pace to hit only 56 home runs.

This is Kosuke's career line for April:  356-464-544.  His career OPS+ in April is 156.  That's in 345 plate appearances too.   

A 156 OPS+ is better than the overall career OPS+ of Aaron, Mays, DiMaggio, Ott (all at 155), F.Robinson (154) and Honus Wagner (150).

Too bad it's a long season.

A guaranteed bar bet question winner.  For the last two seasons, Is Fukodome's 2nd half OPS higher or lower than his 1st half OPS?

It's higher.

Actually, Carlos Pena homered in the playoffs last year.

What dufus-communist-jackoff put this current coaching squad together? I think we have been cheated. This is one lousy squad of players and coaches.

You guys still watching this team?  This is the most apathetic I have felt as a Cub fan ever.  The only thing worth watching on this team is Castro and Barney and that isn't even enough.

One of the things a lot of us have counted on for overcoming the slow start to this season was the rotation returning to form, with Garza, Zambrano, and Dempster getting things turned around and Wells and Cashner coming back from injury.

After watching him last night, I don't see Dempster coming around any time soon, and that's going to be a huge setback for the rest of the season if he's not able to get things righted.  He's a complete mess, and I think he may even be hurt.  When a normally low to mid 90's pitcher is sitting at 86-89 on the fastball and hanging sliders up there like it's tee-ball, something's probably wrong.

To me, it's looking like this is going to be a lost season for him.  I don't think I can stomach much more of the likes of Coleman, Russell, Doug Davis, Thomas Diamond, etc., but Dempster probably needs to be on the DL . . . even if it's for some phantom injury.

Carlos Silva might have been right about that guy.  All I ever see him doing while our pitchers are walking people and tossing batting practice is just sitting around chewing on his sunflower seeds and scratching his crotch.
