Get that [expletive] the [expletive] out of here. You just made me a sad panda.

 

With that rotation and an offense featuring the likes of Sammy Sosa, Moises Alou, Nomar Garciaparra, Aramis Ramirez, Derrek Lee, and up and comers Corey Patterson and Micheal Barrett, the future was nice and bright. It was hard to imagine not winning at least 2 World Series with that bunch.

It's hard to imagine not evening making the playoffs with that team

We need to chip in and get this man some eyebrows.

With alopecia, I'm pretty sure it is. He doesn't even have eyelashes!

[Flames24Rulz]

Marmol. Wood. Guzman. Marshall. Eff off DL.

 

Fixed.

 

Yep. If they stay healthy, that's the best bullpen in the league.

That is not an image I wanted in my head.

doesn't have to be - can just be the head/scalp.

Unfortunately, it was Dustiny.

 

That preseason, after we signed Maddux, was probably the most excited I've ever been as a Cubs fan, and also the proudest I've been as a Cubs fan. We had finally done something in the offseason, came 5 outs from the World Series and added Maddux, Lee, Hawkins, Dutchvalue (not to metion a full season of ARam and getting Patterson back). The Sox hadn't won in 87 years, the Cardinals in 22 years, the Red Sox in 86 years, so we still had company (which at least to me was comforting. Now we're just alone). And we had a dominating pitching core that would compare favorably with what the Giants have now and could put a #1 or 2 quality starting pitcher out there every night (I guess Maddux was more of a 3 or 4 at that point but whatever).

 

Since then, Zambrano is the only one left in that dominating rotation as Wood is a setup man, Prior is playing A ball, Clement and Maddux are retired. The Cubs didn't make the World Series or the playoffs that year and had a really annoying season, the Red Sox, White sox and Cardinals all won the World Series in the next 3 seasons (not to mention another long sufferer the giants winning it last season). The Cubs have won 2 division titles since then but have yet to win even a postseason game. Good times.

Definitely a choice of song that I approve. What did Lou play in his office, Frank Sinatra? He seems like a Sinatra guy.

UMFan, you're really getting Marrioti-esque with these awful puns...

 

Rose-colored glasses, Dustiny...

can we let 2003/04 die already, at least in this thread?

Back in the day, Sammy Sosa would have someone set up his boom box at his locker before his arrival at Cubs camp.

 

Until Sosa made his traditionally late entrance, it looked like the boom box had a locker of its own.

 

Times change, and though there was no music emanating from the clubhouse at Fitch Park this morning, manager Mike Quade was rocking out to Led Zeppelin in his nearby office.

 

Quade said he needed a Robert Plant fix early in the morning to get his juices flowing.

Thanks to all that share these wonderful photos. Truly awesome. The 10 on the sleeve brings back a bit of moisture to my sad eyes.

That pic of Kerry talking with Cash is awesome.

Droppin' knowledge.

 

I'm making it to Opening Day so just so I can be there for Kerry Wood's comeback debut.

The crowd reaction when Kerry came out to close games in 2008 was amazing. I can only imagine what it will sound like this year.

[Guest]

That's an unfortunate picture for Chris Carpenter.

[moorecg]

Sure is nice to see K. Wood back in a Cub's uniform.
