I got 162/180. I forgot a lot of the obscure names of the early 90s, but got everything from 98 on.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

120/180. I could not for the life of me remember the RF or SS in '06-'07. I was hoping to get from 2003 on, and those 4 blanks drove me insane.

[Mark Priors Calves]

102. I'm pretty disappointed. Some of the recent names I forgot...Murton, Cedeno, and Burnitz.

[Andy]

I got 104. I didn't get Cedeno, Walker or Hollandsworth and don't know jack about the early-'90s Cubs.

[Z38Cubs]

166/180. I can't believe I forgot Dawson, Juan Pierre, and Jose Hernandez.

[Pushfrog98]

160. Got all of 2002-2009. "cheated" (ie. guessed) quite a bit and got Dwight Smith, Rondell White, Roosevelt Brown, Jacque Jones (don't know how I forgot him... oh yeah, that's right.). I jus tstarted typing in common last names and then colors.

 

Some of these guys I haven't heard since the year they started: Damon Buford, Jose Nieves. That was a fun quiz.

[TruffleShuffle]

good Lord the opening day SP's between maddux and lieber were bad.

[OleMissCub]

139/180

 

it's amazing how I couldn't ever remember some of the guys on the 2003 team

[Derwood]

yeah, 139 here as well. Forgot some obvious ones like Lieber, Girardi, Murton, etc.

 

I think some I intentionally erased from my memory (Izturis, Blauser, et al)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yeah, it's so bad I guessed Kevin Foster without a hint of irony.

i almost feel like i'd do better on the yankees one than the cubs one because the yankees have a lot of really good players that play there for a long time, whereas the cubs a few mainstays (grace, lee, sandberg, sosa) and then a lot of positions with a revolving door of losers.

[Sammys Boombox]

141/180. I was disappointed that I forgot a lot of the 2001 squad. I actually did better on the 1990-1998 (I was born in '88) than I did on the 1999-2002 teams. That's what collecting cards will do for you. I forgot Scott Servais! I don't believe it. I even got Mike Bielecki and Damon Berryhill.

i did better on the 98-05 era yankees then last years team.

Blauser was driving me crazy. I could picture him, I just couldn't get his name.

[Clem Fandango]

I'm at 128... cheating now... got 2003-2009 with the exception of SS in 2005... who the hell was SS in 2005?

 

EDIT: Nomar, HA! How forgettable.

 

Lots of these names I don't remember, but I'm ashamed at forgetting about a lot of the players from the early to mid 90's. My brother and I when we were younger would play whiffle ball in my grandmothers back yard each summer in Dundee and we would run through the Cubs lineup and pretend to be each player. So sadly I was ashamed I forgot so many legendary players such as Luis Salazar, Hector Villanueva, Jose Vizcaino, Scott Bullett, and Joe Girardi. Surprisingly, I got the entire 1994 team correct.

[Old Style]

No fair posting this in the off-season. It's like asking me to do math on the weekends. I can barely get 2+2 right on Saturday.

[Post Count Padder]

144...basically missed all the starting pitchers from the 90s not named Trachsel or Tapani. Completely forgot the likes of Shane Andrews, Rondell White and Chris Stynes. Those were some haunting times.

[Moises a loo]

113. I spent half the time trying to think of Tuffy Rhodes.

[Schwarber Fan]

127/180

[inari]

120 right. For some reason I started missing some at 2001, then got 1998 right, then started drawing blanks.

[Derwood]

man, I suck at the rest of the teams. woof

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm the biggest nerd. 170/180.

 

McClendon, Maldonado, Beuchele, Navarro, Brant and Rosie Brown, DeShields, and Todd [expletive] Hundley.

[Outshined_One]

I think my brain blocked out a lot of these names.

 

With good reason.
