Cubs Sporcle Quizzes

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm the biggest nerd. 170/180.

 

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

 

See now I got Brown, Brown, DeShields and Hundley

 

funny how things work

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't know how I missed Hundley. I knew he freaked out the one year cause Girardi started opening day over him. I saw Girardi started 2 in a row, and I guess I just assumed those were Hundley's 2 years.

 

I'm really proud/ashamed of myself for remembering Scott Bullett and Jose Nieves. (Nieves was a guess, Bullett I was actually pretty certain of) For 1990 I cycled through pretty much every player on the '89 team except McClendon.

[OleMissCub]

can't believe I got 146/200 on the Yankees. Certainly didn't expect to do that well. Nearly all of the ones I missed where pre-Dynasty days.

 

There's no way I'll even try the other teams though. Eh, maybe I'll try the Marlins.

[OleMissCub]

114 on the Marlins one. Did NOT expect that. I encourage y'all to try the Marlins one. It really isn't that hard.

[BWcubs21]

158/180. Not bad, although I spent the last minute trying to remember how to spell Grudzielanek. Besides him I got everything from 03 on and really all the big names before that. 1991 and 2000 were my worst years with three missed each year. It must mean that I am getting old if I can vividly remember those early 90's teams.

[pitchcs]

113/180

 

Glad I didn't get 150+, it makes me feel a lot bettter about myself.

[Guest]

I only got 117. I could not for the life of me remember Mickey Morandini. I guess the puzzler didn't want to include Neifi Perez as much as we like to forget he was ever a Cub.

 

I also missed Alfonso Soriano. Haha. I was too busy trying to remember the old school names that played a single season.

[David]

Got 144... Could not remember Ronny Cedeno for the life of me... Took me forever to remember Pierre too.

[cl smooth]

143/180. couldn't spell rickey gutierrez or hee seop choi's name correctly and had matt stairs' mug in my head, but couldn't remember his name. early 90's teams were easy since i remember rooting for most of those bums every day after school.

 

worse one? forgetting who started at 2nd in '07 and '08... :oops:

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Holy crap, 173! Why must my brain be filled with so much useless information? I only missed 2 from the 2000's (Nieves and Cedeno), and I'm quite impressed I only missed 5 from the 90's considering I spent most of that decade drunk.

[UMFan83]

I can't believe no one is complaining about forgetting Chris Stynes. I watched opening day 2002 and I have never heard of him.

I too missed DeRo and almost fell out of my chair when I realized it.

[SouthSideRyan]

I can't believe no one is complaining about forgetting Chris Stynes. I watched opening day 2002 and I have never heard of him.

 

I was pretty jacked when we signed Stynes. I can't believe neither Willie Greene nor Leo Gomez started an opening day. Or that an ancient Willie Wilson did.

Feel free to merge this thread into the other Sporcle topic, but...

 

I put together this quiz on Sporcle regarding every pitcher for the Cubs over the past decade. How many of the 104 total pitchers can you name?

PS let me know if you find any mistrakes.

[SouthSideRyan]

101/160 on the Indians.

 

78/190 on Rangers (who the [expletive] is Tom Evans?)

 

108/200 on Blue Jays

[TarzanJoeWallis]

Sean Marshall?

[Tim M]

You missed Gregg too.

[SouthSideRyan]

Heilman

[Cubswin11]

I forgot his name and didn't see it until time was up, but when I saw Les Walrond a little bit of me died inside.

I did almost as bad. I forgot the legendary Todd Walker. I guess I had him and Derosa crossed. They're basically the same guy, right?

[Guest]

107. Got pretty much everything from 2003 on except for Damian Miller, Mark Bellhorn and Todd Hollandsworth. The ones from the rest of the years were pretty much limited to Sosa, Grace, Sandberg, Dunston and Dawson plus a couple pitchers like Lieber, Tapani and Trachsel.

Howry

[Pushfrog98]

btw, you only have to enter last names, so if you can't spell their first name, just try the last.

[champaignchris]

I got 141/180.

 

Guys I'm surprised I missed:

 

Steve Buechele

Brian McRae

Jeff Blauser

Eric Young

Mark Bellhorn

Jeromy Burnitz

Juan Pierre

 

Guys I still don't remember:

 

Scott Bullett

[SouthSideRyan]

Scott Bullet was a 30 year old rookie. My dad was so angry about that.
