As good as advertised. I would have liked to see Lou send him on Kendall after he walked.
He ain't gonna do that every day, but he is going to get on base more than 40% of the time, which is why I want him batting 2nd. Or on this shitstain of a lineup, 1st.

I'll say it again: I'm very excited for this season to get going in full gear. I hate the day off after the opener, but I love what the Cubs are going to do this year. It's going to be fun.
My favorite Cubs this year:
DLee
Carlos
Kosuke
Special Mention goes to a non-Game 1 Kerry Wood
Fork wins a 2008 Desippy for best thread title.
Perfect.
Bump-san
A two run double on a picture perfect at bat, which followed a perfect bunt that lead to a run. Fuke has more than a clue out there (and the Cubs come back from 3 down to 2 up).

That bunt single was the splooge-worthiest thing I've seen a Cubs hitter do since Aramis' 3-run "Ohhh, BABY!" against the Brewers last year.
Me rikey Kosuke-san plenty, Joe
The good thing about having Gameday Audio in my opinion is that if I can't catch the whole game, I can listen to the game (Or just parts of it) afterward if I wish. I missed all but the first two and the ninth innings today due to work, so I am now listening to the big seventh inning rally.

Never heard that one, but equally effective.

Cleaning the pipes.
Masturbating.
Brian Runge hates Japanese people.
Pounding one out.

Racism, ignorance... it's all the same. Sadly, I think those people mean well, or at least aren't ill-intentioned, in a really perverted way.
I'll stick to "Fuckyoudome" because it's funny. And because I'm sure I was one of 5% of Cubs fans who knew how to pronounce his name when he was signed. It's nice to know a good chunk of that 5% flock to this board.
Burping the baby.
Shaking hands with the unemployed.

Making stomach pancakes
Tossing some ropes.
Gilding the Lily
Beating the ever-loving shit out of my cock

It is so fun watching this guy play ball. He's got a great eye for strikes and he just rips the ball all over the field.
This thread shouldn't have slipped so low.
Fukudome is fucking awesome.
I totally agree. You are exatry right.

It's also nice to have a guy who actually plays well at home. Check out these home splits:
Avg - .462
OBP - .588
SLG - .731
OPS - 1.319
Small sample size, but still.

Yeah, yeah it's only one game against some broke-ass Pudstros pitchers. But he hit the shit out of the ball tonight. At the very least you hope this will help him relax, and give him a longer leash with Lou. I'd absolutely love for this guy not to be a bust.

I'm definitely hoping Fuky shoves it up our asses and has a solid year. He's certainly earned himself some more playing time as opposed what might have happened if he had put up another 0-fer.

TH. Four hits and four runs in one game doesn't really prove anything one way or the other, but it does take some pressure off and buy him some time. I hope this is the start of a recovery for him, I really do.

I think it proves that he's able to make an adjustment at long last. You could definitely see him staying back and off of that front foot so he can drive the ball. The dude has the skills to pay the bills. We've all seen it. The question was whether he was complete headcase incapable of changing his swing or whether he was just frustrated and out of sorts over the transition from Japan to MLB. Looks like we got a little tiny piece of the right answer finally. I for one am encouraged. Now, if you'll excuse me I have some porn with pixelated coochie regions to fap to.
I didn't watch a lot of Spring Training, and none of the WBC, but what I saw of Fukudome, he was striding into the ball. As long as he does that, he'll earn his paycheck.

Are you saying you'll be equally impressed with a .600 slugging percentage and a .780 OPS? Let's say he cools off and puts up a .360 OBP. Then he'd need to slug a meager .420 to put up a .780 OPS. Would that impress you? I don't understand these IAN benchmarks of success at all.

Just wanted to correct myself: I accidentally posted Kosuke's career OPS of .780 (it's actually .783--not good) instead of his 2009 OPS of 1.142 (good). Thanks for the heads-up and calling me on it, Eli and RV.

Sure, but will it still dickishly refuse to talk to the press?

I know he works the count and can generate a robust OBP, but pull a .600 SLG and .780 OPS out of your rice bowls through July or August and then I'll SPLOOOGE!
If he has a .600 SLG and a .780 OPS, he's not working the count very well.
10 singles, 10 doubles, 5 triples, and 50 home runs over 400 PAs would be something to behold.

He's Asian. Let me see you get borderline ghey for a white dude, and that's saying something.
You trying to pick me up?
His Fukuness is all well and good, but this song and prance happened last year at this time, too. I know he works the count and can generate a robust OBP, but pull a .600 SLG and .780 OPS out of your rice bowls through July or August and then I'll SPLOOOGE!
Keep up the good work, PAL.
Are you saying you'll be equally impressed with a .600 slugging percentage and a .780 OPS? Let's say he cools off and puts up a .360 OBP. Then he'd need to slug a meager .420 to put up a .780 OPS. Would that impress you? I don't understand these IAN benchmarks of success at all.

Lee is the only hitter on the team not sucking in June. Soriano's 5 hits are good enough for the 2nd-best OPS so far this month, if that tells you anything.

It does. It tells him that he has a lineup full of veteran hitters who are underperforming but have had enough at-bats in their career that he can't just walk up to them in the cage and fix their swing.
It also tells him that he's got some AAAA players in the lineup that are just short on talent, not coaching.
Also, it also tells him that his best hitter is hurt.

If Kurt could create a photoshop depicting Internet Chuck's Completely Logical System of Baseball Analysis, it may very well generate a supernova of confusion so powerful that it would render moot all the man hours expended on alternate energy research (assuming Paul could harness the output of the supernova).

So, I should have waited until this year to bash A Sor?
Well, it would have made more sense than what you've been doing for the past few years. So, sure. You should have waited.
Do you recall his April last year? It made this year's May look good.
Oh, No! It's Making Well-Reasoned Arguments Backed With Facts! Run! (http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/oh_no_its_making_well_reasoned)
Damn you. I was keeping that one in my back pocket, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it.
Chuck talking about Soriano is about as perfect as it gets.
What impresses me is that that sentence shouldn't make sense at all, but it does in context.
Wittenmeyer quoting Fukudome who was talking about his 2007 elbow surgery,
"'I didn't feel the pain physically, but I must have been subconsciously feeling the pain of the elbow,'' said Fukudome, still reluctant to openly admit pain. But when asked if it was a factor last season, he said, ''Probably it was.''
I know that there is an alternate universe where that statement makes sense.

It could exist through a wormhole in the supernova RV spoke of earlier.
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!! update:
.122/.234/.171, good for a .405 OPS.
.091/.200/.136 in the last seven days.

July update for the benefit of Lousy Kermit:
.288/.377/.577/.904 OPS
And it's only 10 games, but he's got a .409 OBP when he hits leadoff. And this can't hurt:
QuoteKosuke Fukudome's Japanese hitting coach, Kyosuke Sasaki, is expected to join the Cubs today in Philadelphia so he can work with his star pupil for the next week or so.
''We're going to put him in uniform and let him observe, and if need be, he can work with Fukudome all he wants,'' Piniella said. ''He's got our blessing.''
Sasaki, who has a longtime relationship with Fukudome, worked with the Cubs' center fielder in the offseason and visited Chicago in May for some more work. Fukudome credited Sasaki for helping him get off to a strong start this season.
I like him leading off. Does anyone care what I like? No?
/cries
He's still one of the two most fundamentally sound players (along with DLee) we have.
an OPS of over .400 in the leadoff spot has to be good, right?
Thank Gord we play in a shitty division, where these types of things can be found out in July and not in April.

And a big DLeeBONER for his pick on the Aramis Ramirez throw in the game that I don't remember the date of this weekend. He's saved many a big inning.
Fuck Ryan Theriot and his retarded baserunning.

I agree. Sure, he can look like a mess at times, but the only real options we have for leadoff are Fukkake and Theriot, and I think I'd rather have the guy who knows how to run the bases. Also, until Bradley starts really driving the ball, I don't think he'd be a bad option at the top. Despite how poorly he's been hitting, he still has an above-average OBP. If he's not going to be driving in runs, I'd rather see him scoring them.

Seven homeruns since then? That doesn't seem right...
"Multiple sources tell Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com that the Cubs recently approached the Red Sox to "gauge their interest" in Kosuke Fukudome.
McAdam writes that the Red Sox have walked away from talks, at least for now, because the Cubs have refused to take on a significant part of Fukudome's remaining salary. Fukudome, 33, will earn $13 million this season and another $13.5 million in 2011. The Red Sox have a clear need for an outfielder right now, but that is a significant price to pay for a player who has batted just .261 with a 776 OPS in the major leagues. No-trade clause aside, the Cubs will have a very difficult time trading him to any team."
Owed $13MM and $13.5MM for two years AND a no-trade? Wow.

His no-trade is only for certain teams, I hear. There's like 10-15 that are ok to trade to, Red Sox being one of them, but I may have heard wrong.

All catchers hitting more or less as well as Soto this year that are cheap.
Edit: Napoli and Doumit make about $3.6, so that's actually not that cheap, though probably no more than Soto will get for arbitration.

Why are you using this year as a benchmark? John Buck barely has a lifetime OPS above .700. It means nothing that he has finally managed to string together 150 or so non-shitty at-bats. Miguel Olivo has also sucked for his entire career.
Also, even if we
were just talking about this year, Ronny Paulino's OPS is more than 100 points lower than Sotos, which apparently -- to you -- means he's hitting "about as well as Soto." Ryan Doumit's OPS is 80 points lower than Soto's. Same thing there. Kurt Suzuki's is 70 points lower. That's not "about as well."

Regardless, I'm not going to win any stat-off with you, so if those dudes are all worse, fine.
My point was just that I don't know how you classify Soto as untradable.

All of those dudes are hitting about as well as Soto this year.
Why are you using this year as a benchmark? John Buck barely has a lifetime OPS above .700. It means nothing that he has finally managed to string together 150 or so non-shitty at-bats. Miguel Olivo has also sucked for his entire career.
Also, even if we were just talking about this year, Ronny Paulino's OPS is more than 100 points lower than Sotos, which apparently -- to you -- means he's hitting "about as well as Soto." Ryan Doumit's OPS is 80 points lower than Soto's. Same thing there. Kurt Suzuki's is 70 points lower. That's not "about as well."
Should I use last year as a benchmark?
Regardless, I'm not going to win any stat-off with you, so if those dudes are all worse, fine.
My point was just that I don't know how you classify Soto as untradable.
How about, since most of those guys are like 30 years old, you use their career numbers instead of 2.5 months of this season? This doesn't take an advanced degree in statology to figure out.
I don't think Soto's untradeable, but he's a still-kinda-young catcher with a career .818 OPS. Those don't grow on trees like Miguel Cabreras do.

Maybe Hendry can package Colvin and Soto together to snare another bullpen arm that can complement John Grabow and REALLY anchor the pen once and for all. Chad Qualls, perhaps?

What quality major league ready player will Colvin net in return that can do anything for the Cubs this season? I don't understand this idea at all. But, I guess that's the least suprising of things and something else.

Trade chip means including him in a package, I assume, to increase value of said hypothetical offer. Some of you guys are attached to Colvin and I'm not sure I understand why.

Oh good lord, before you people all end up arguing the same thing let's just fill out the questionnaire:
1. Do you think Tyler Colvin is a trade chip?
2. If yes, for what would you trade him? (please be specific about position and age of player)
3. Would that person be a pick up for a playoff run this year, or a person who can help the team next year?

My point exactly. I think IAN here is confused in thinking people are willing to trade Colvin out of a deluded sense that this team is only a trade deadline acquisition away from contending. I think everyone here knows they're out of it, but would be willing to trade Colvin to get a player that has value for the next couple years. I just don't know who that player would be or what position he would be at. Unless we're packaging him to get Adrian Gonzalez to replace the deceased Derrek Lee.

As bad and frustrating as they have been, they are *only* 6.5 out. That's closer than I would have expected just by watching this team.

I just don't know who that player would be or what position he would be at. Unless we're packaging him to get Adrian Gonzalez to replace the deceased Derrek Lee.
That's what I was thinking everyone else was thinking and it was making my head hurt. If trading him makes the team better for the next couple of years, I'm all for it. I just don't know if it's all that feasable that he plus anybody else's corpse on this team gets the Cubs there.

Anyway, to go back to BH's post, I would trade Colvin in a heartbeat if he was going to bring back a good major league player in return.
Maybe Hendry can package Colvin and Soto together to snare another bullpen arm that can complement John Grabow and REALLY anchor the pen once and for all. Chad Qualls, perhaps?
Because that's totally what I said. I apologize, Colvin's awesome. We should never trade him, ever. I'm sure his value will only increase.
I was commenting on Hendry's propensity for overvaluing relievers, not your trade idea. I completely agree Colvin could be a good trade chip right now.
What quality major league ready player will Colvin net in return that can do anything for the Cubs this season? I don't understand this idea at all. But, I guess that's the least suprising of things and something else.
Oh good lord, before you people all end up arguing the same thing let's just fill out the questionnaire:
1. Do you think Tyler Colvin is a trade chip?
2. If yes, for what would you trade him? (please be specific about position and age of player)
3. Would that person be a pick up for a playoff run this year, or a person who can help the team next year?
Playoffs? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3-eavMSBnk)

I agree with everybody.
