9/3 Cubs (Big Z) @ Pirates (Williams) 11:35am CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

You know what? You're right. I apologize. I'm just frustrated with this team. I know they're winning today, but it's obviously too little, too late. I still don't want Nomar back next year, though. I wish him well, thanks for the effort, good luck, and so long.

 

Yeah, we're all pretty frustrated with the way things have gone. The trick is not to let it get the better of you. Easier said than done, no? :wink:

Sliding into 1B has no purpose. It's dangerous, and it slows you down. The reason you slide when a tag has to be applied is b/c the time lost to the slide is offset and thensome by the extra time needed to apply the tag.

DLee sucks. Only a single? :lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 42-21 when they make at least 10 hits, 21-49 when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Well said, well said. Duly noted, etc. I know I'll be back next year and everything, it's just, as we said, frustrating. And this year, I've gone from a fairly ardent Dusty backer to resignedly admitting that he should be canned. I still don't blame him as much as other people, but I think his work here is done.

Ronny must be tired from all that running around the bases, he needs a week off.

He's 2 for 3 today - chances are that will earn him a few days off!!

If Murton isn't one of our starting corner outfielders next year, there's a problem.

[Brian]

If Dusty's still here, there's a good chance there is a problem.

[Schwarber Fan]

hank white is going to get the cycle

 

Ya if two outfielders pull a Cameron-Beltran or if the pitcher throws his glove at the ball
