5/28 Braves (Smoltz) vs. Crap (Ryu) 1:20 CT WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

Remember when we might have gotten Andruw Jones for Sosa?

 

Do you mean could have if the Cubs could have been smart enough to trade Sosa earlier and get a player LIKE A. Jones? Or was this deal specifically rumored/on the table/discussed?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS previous high for HRs allowed was 6. 11 April vs. Cincinnati & 28 April vs. Milwaukee. Both times, Rusch was the starter.

[Sammy Sofa]

Len says the Cubs have never given up more than 7 HR in a game.

 

Let's root for 8, Cubs fans!

 

I know I am!

 

The bar for the levels of pathetic-ness that'll be tolerated has been raised by the Tribune and upper management. The challenge has been set, and the Cubs WILL meet it!

Those with better memories can help me, but a few years ago the Braves were shopping Jones, and Sosa's value was still quite high at that point.

 

There were many who advocated Sosa for Jones.

I can't remember if that was after 2001 or after 2002...

Man...I'd be curious to see what other deals/offers were out there for Sammy before the relationship between him and the Cubs fell apart.

Mr. Brenly, your fitting room is located under the stands...

 

Seriously, it can't be worse than this. This is historical in its badness.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Damnit, stop scoring! Can't you do ANYTHING right?! :x

[Outshined_One]

Wow...heck of a finish to the Indy 500.

[Sammy Sofa]

Stop getting runs, dammit!

[Shavo]

Of course the day we score 8 runs, we give up 11. :cry:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Second time in the last 27 games that the CUBS have scored 8 runs in a game.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Shavo]
