[Rumbach]

Now Rusch knows how to pitch. :evil:

[neely crenshaw]

the problem we have is that hendry's big signings are pierre and jones, so unless one of them gets hurt or they replace murton, we will not see pie for a long time...maybe if we are 20-30 games out at the deadline we might deal pierre....i don't see anyone possibly wanting to take jones or his money

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bynum grounded out to first, 3-1

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Rusch will make his next start in five days.

[Tim Burr]

Now Rusch knows how to pitch. :evil:

 

Rusch is trying to show Baker he should have started. Cruz is also paying him back for not keeping him in the roatation did the same and stuck with Estes. BTW, Cruz took Estes spot as he is on DL.

The radio broadcast has degenerated to Ronny babble about next to nothing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco walked

[Master Shake]

Come on! Don't let us down! Double play ball!

[neely crenshaw]

to slightly change the subject from how bad we are....who do you think will return to contention first, the totally restructured marlins or the highly paid cub team?

isn't it a shame that they have completely sold off their team twice and continue and still put together a competitive team more often tahn we do...the front office should be embarrassed!

[Master Shake]

Easy. The Marlins.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Restovich, pinch hitting for Rusch, struck out (called)

well we should be decent if everyoen can stay healthy and Lee, Prior and Wood come back and are productive

 

 

the marlins will be in contention before we will because my previous statement is nothing but a dream

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre singled to center field, Blanco to second

[neely crenshaw]

sorry that was way easy but it isn't it terrible that they gave away all their vet players for a 2nd time in 10 years, yet they still have a brighter future than we do. all that and they have won 2 championships

[Master Shake]

This team is too predictable.

 

 

I'm off to vist some not-nice websites. See ya!

[cjbucks]

The good news is that the Padres have yet to score through 5 tonight. Maybe we could get them 1-0 tommorrow.

[neely crenshaw]

another question for ya..

do you think that hendry and MacPhail really believe that signing jones was a good deal? they have to but they certainly wouldn't have dropped that much cake....could they actually be that stupid? i mean there is not one piece of evidence that would tell you he was going to make a comeback!

we paid am older cpatt double what we paid the young cpatt....

i'll live with pierre for now because we had to have a leadoff guy and after furcal got away, you had lofton or pierre but 3 years of jones should cost hednry his job...it just may take the 3 years to do it

so i have to say.....

you can not underestimate the value of speed!

 

i am done now!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez lined out to right field

[cheapseats]

another question for ya..

do you think that hendry and MacPhail really believe that signing jones was a good deal? they have to but they certainly wouldn't have dropped that much cake....could they actually be that stupid?

 

I really wonder the same thing. Really.

 

I could understand Burnitz last year. There wasn't anyone else available, and it was only one year. But Jones for 3?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker grounded out to first, unassisted
