JoeRudi26 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 ha o thats unfortunate haha, what did Theriot do? After 20 games at 2B, he went down with a Torn Shoulder Muscle sliding into second base. He was hitting .320 with 10 RBI and no hr's, but did have 4 stolen bases at the time. He was brought up after DeRosa had been sent down for the first time. He looked very promising. Despite the turmoil this season, I'm in decent shape. 6 1/2 back of Houston (they won again today), and tied for the Wild Card spot. If Ramirez or Lee go down, this team is in serious trouble, even at this point in the season. If we stay healthy, and a couple of key players go down for Houston, we will come out on top in the Central. But with that being said, I don't want to count on that, I need to win games.

philliesphan18 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The Pittsburgh Pirates today announced they have acquired infielder Cesar Izturis and cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for a player to be named. Time to get a new shortstop JR!

In real life, have you noticed the fans at Wrigley?? They sense it already. I'm enjoying every bit of it. Very much so. You can even look at the body language of the players and tell that the "culture" of winning that Lou talked about is there. It's a really good time for us Cub fans right now. Altough, there is still a lot of ball left to play. :smile: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/28149-beyond-the-ivy-~-a-2007-chicago-cubs-dynasty/page/79/#findComment-437661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 July 18 - San Francisco @ Chicago (Game 3) *SF - 7, Chicago 0* Matt Morris was unhittable. He was mixing up a 95MPH fastball with a hard sinker and a devastating curveball. Morris went the distance (127 pitches) with 10 K's and nailed down the shutout. Kerry Wood was rocked for 7 runs (Grand Slam by Vizquel) in just 4 innings of work. Sean Marshall picked up the other 5 innings and didn't surrender a single run Barry Bonds went 2-4, and Randy Winn hit a 2 run homerun (15th) to round out Giants scoring Jason Kendall went 2-4 with his 5th double of the season The Cubs hope to even the series tonight in Game 4 July 18 Boxscore/Play by Play Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/28149-beyond-the-ivy-~-a-2007-chicago-cubs-dynasty/page/79/#findComment-437680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit one to the track in the deepest darkest corner of right field, but Floyd got under it. I really didn't get the idea of using a mousepad really, I just saw the pics and liked the logos, so I just used them.

philliesphan18 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey JR - Just curious, how are you going to arrange your infield now that Iz is gone? 3B - Ramirez SS - Fontenot? 2B - DeRosa Or are you going to stick Moore at SS? And who will you call up since they got a PTBNL?

JoeRudi26 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 You read my mind Phils, I've been working on that as we speak. This is what has transpired: Cesar Izturis to Pittsburgh for player to be named Called Up Ronny Cedeno Matt Murton Sent Down Felix Pie Ronny Cedeno (RHB) - To fill in at SS against LHP, DeRosa will play 2B Scott Moore (LHB) will play 2nd base against RHP, DeRosa will play SS Soriano will be moved to CF (SPD 93) permanately Cliff Floyd stays in RF Jacque Jones (LHB) will play LF against RHP Matt Murton (RHB) will play LF against LHP One more outing like July 18th, and Wood may end the season in Iowa *Fontenot has done a nice job pinch hitting, but he's weak defensively. DeRosa is solid, and despite his low BA, his hits are timely. The odds tell me to keep him in the field opposed to Fontenot* Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/28149-beyond-the-ivy-~-a-2007-chicago-cubs-dynasty/page/79/#findComment-437717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
