8/2 Ariz @ Cubs 7:05pm CT WGN/XM 186 **Rain Out***

Dusty is looking forward to abusing Hill's arm.

[lowest]

here comes some gems from Dusty!

 

"blowin like a...like a...blowfish."

Now we know how dusty decides when a pitcher is done.

[CP_414]

At least Dusty knows his own stats. Now let's see if he can figure out his teams numbers.

[CubColtPacer]

By the way, Bruce did say that Hendry could not get prospects from the Dodgers the day after Hendry's interview-so if you believe Bruce, no prospects were ever available.

 

That's weird, since he said essentially the exact opposite on here the other day.

 

No-on page 3 of the Bruces latest article thread from the other day, somebody asked him if prospects were truly available, and he said:

 

"Couple things from above as I roast at the ballpark:

 

Yes, Tim Wilken did have signficant input. Hendry mentioned that yesterday.

 

It was Hendry, not the Dodgers, who initiated the prospect route. The Dodgers wanted none of it."

 

I'm sorry I'm not sure how to link the thread, but if you go to that thread: Bruce's Latest Article 8/1: it's there

Dusty actually talking some sense: "you don't hit home runs by swinging at everything."

[CP_414]

Are those stats real or did he just make them up? JP, Barrett, and Aramis are over .400 the last 2 weeks? It sound like he was making them up on the spot, but maybe not.

I was shocked when I heard him say that.

Also in there:

 

I wouldn't have given Walker away for one thing. I would have gone the "prospect" route with Maddux, provided they were the right prospects. I just don't see this trade as making a big, positive impact. Izturis is probably OK in the right spot in the right lineup, but how many times have we seen that with this outfit?

 

Any confirmation on who the prospects could have been? Kemp or Guzman like Carroll reported?

 

Will Carroll appears to be right on.

but you cant let too many go by or else you might clog the bases.

[Jazz]

Likin' the panama jack attire larry :lol:

[ToupeeOnFire]

Gary Hughes looks like he is hammered.

[texascub]

He's going to Japan...hopefully he can bring some good prospects back with him!

[otis89]

Slightly off-topic, but Guzman left the I-Cubs game after just 1 inning.

[lowest]

are we there yet?

[CP_414]

Slightly off-topic, but Guzman left the I-Cubs game after just 1 inning.

 

They were just in Vegas. How can you expect him to fly to Iowa and pitch and not get hurt?

[Jazz]

hahahahahahaha "whos at 3rd since santo"

[otis89]

hahahahahahaha "whos at 3rd since santo"

 

Did I just miss him, or did they not mention Macias?

[texascub]

He was in there...everyone I remember plus some were in there, excellent video.

"Who's Been at Third Since Santo"

 

Ughhh. Even though it is pretty funny....but come on, do we really need to be celebrating Cub futility during rain delays? Seeing Tribune-owned WGN continue to feed into the "lovable losers" image doesn't sit well with me.

[Jazz]

Santo touting Izturis pretty hard.

[texascub]

Santo touting Izturis pretty hard.

 

Defensively it's a good move because now hopefully Neifi doesn't get as many starts, but it is short-sighted offensively.

or feeding paranoia about Aramis leaving.

I don't mind it...put pressure on Hendry to make a move.
