Baby steps

[Scott G. F.]

3 out of 4 from the Cards the Cubs Gain 2 games. So does everyone else.

 

We win tonight we gain a single game on the 'stros.

 

Positive steps for sure but it doesn't seem to be enough. Glad to see Colorado coming up.

 

4 wins out of 6 games since the 8 game L streak. I hope they keep it up and continue to play solid baseball.

 

Starting pitching is the key now. I hope we can get some quality starts and gain some attitude and swagger.

The Cubs get to .500 and then we'll talk. Not there yet though.

w/this team, Colorado scares me. Atlanta is someone we want ot play...or the A's. The cubs just dont get up for mediocre/bad teams

Only thing that concerns me with the Rockies is playing them at Home, with our tendancy to give up the long ball as of late.

To get 90 wins, the Cubs can only lose 10 games for the rest of the season. That's going to be very hard.

Yeah it's funny how easy the math becomes late in the season. I'm just hoping this team relaxes and plays good ball. Hoping other teams faulter now is a useless excerise that makes me lose sleep.

 

I have accepted the 2005 Cubs fate and enjoy whatever the games bring to me.

 

I just hope the Cubs have a winning season this year which will be the first time in my life time for that to happen.

 

People get one Dusty but the Cubs could have the best seasons in 30 years under him as manager. The 2003 NLCL series really burnt up alot of Cubs fans. We all have to remember where the Cubs began and not be such clowns about booing and getting on players and coaches.

 

Baby Steps. Next year we have Hendry tinker some more and try and fix the pen and give Murton a shot in Left. Bring up Guzman, set Wood right along with Prior and Zambo. Keep Maddux around because he is the real deal. Sign a SS or keep Nomar around. Cory Patterson will come around. Get a second baseman or resign T. Walker. See what FA's can help and will sign for the Cubs.

 

Johnny Damon will be a Cubs by January. IMO

The middle of August isn't the time for baby steps. It is the time to win. They had the first 3-4 months to take baby steps. If they aren't going to get into the playoffs I would rather see them tank so they can get a higher draft pick. (top 15 would be nice so they would not give away their first rounder if they sign a type A free agent)
