Fred, I asked this yesterday but I'm not sure what your response was.

 

The 57 baserunners, is that RISP only, or any baserunner?

Always take me literally. "Baserunners" means..... baserunners; on any base.

Clearly... but what makes you say that right now??

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jim Hendry is full of it.

 

What'd he say ? I'm listening to Pat & Ron.

[Outshined_One]

He was on with McCarver and Buck, making up excuses for the team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-6 when they get a quality start.... 5-23 when they don't

Hairston grounded out to third, 5-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker single to left center field

[JackBauer]

Jim is supporting Dusty....and blaming it on injuries....

 

He said D-lee should be back in 2 weeks, and Prior and Miller 2-3 weeks from now as well.

Our season in a nutshell

We are awful.

This has a chance to be the shortest regular season game thread of the year. Currently, the shortest game thread is 442 posts on May 7.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are on a pace to ground into 169 double plays this year..... compared to 129 last year

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Giles grounded out to short, 6-3

Jim Hendry is full of it.

also said Dusty has a history of guys continuing to play hard for him, and he's sure that's what they'll keep doing. :roll:

Your one of them who says "I hope we lose" can you tell me why you say that, and in my opinion i dont think it is sarcasm i really think you do want them to lose so they can fire Baker.

 

Why do you want them to win?

 

Their chances of making the playoffs are just a little better than 1 in 400 at this point.

 

Cubs management says it's too early to throw in the towel when they should be thinking about how to make this team better next year and the near future.

 

This season is already a lost cause. It's not pessimism. It's realism.

Personally, I am rooting for them to lose right now, and I'm not ashamed to say it. We will not win as long as the current management stays in place.

 

If the Cubs start winning some games now, they might finish in fourth or fifth place. If that's good enough for you, then I'm glad you're not the GM.

 

Well then your not a cub fan if you are "rooting" for them to lose. That does not make any sense. Yeah its a tuff time to watch them play, but that being said I will NEVER root for them to lose.

 

I went to 40 games last year. How many did you go to?

 

Don't tell me I'm not a Cubs fan.

 

I would gladly see them finish in last place if it meant changes would be made to improve their chances in 2007.

 

And you didn't respond at all to the fact that they have worse than a 1 in 300 chance of making the playoffs this year.

 

That being the case, what's the point of winning now? It only makes it easier for the same people who are part of the problem to stick around.
