Worst thing about 2005 (besides Baker)

[Derwood]

To avoid a poll where everyone votes for Dusty Baker as being the worst thing about 2005, I've disqualified him in lieu of other options.

[imb]

i vote dusty baker.

[Prior4CyYoung]

I vote with macias. Ofcourse with the game on the line and chance to screw over houston dusty lets macias bat.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I voted for Low Team OBP, but my main complaint is Neifi Perez being anywhere but the bench or another team.

[Derwood]

i vote dusty baker.

 

Most predictable response by IMB! ever

[Derwood]

Perez or Macias getting at-bats, in my mind, falls under Baker, who is not part of the poll

[sweetpeteman]

Lack of fire.

 

This team just seemed to not care, and that really pissed me off.

[hardcorecubfan]

I could give a rats rear end who plays what there personal stats are the lack of fire as long as the record indicates that they are in the playoffs. Obviously playing Macias and corey as lead off and Greg not getting his wins and Kerry all leads to a losing record. I JUST WANT THEM TO WIN!!!

Please

Why do you include Corey but not Neifi? (I would have voted for Neifi)

[EricG]

I'm going to say Corey because he had so much promise and now he sucks.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

And yet I would rather see him come to the plate than Neifi.

[Derwood]

Why do you include Corey but not Neifi? (I would have voted for Neifi)

 

Because Corey performed far below expectations, while Neifi did pretty much what you thought he would given the playing time (and even drove in more runs than I would have laid money on)

[EricG]

maybe you should select injury bug because Neifi got all the playing time because Nomar and Aramis got injured.

[mhuber92211]

maybe you should select injury bug because Neifi got all the playing time because Nomar and Aramis got injured.

 

this is the reson i voted for "other". Injuries to key players.

[Geech]

I'm going to say Corey because he had so much promise and now he sucks.

 

Me, too. Corey broke my heart.

I voted other, the thing that frustrated me most was the Cubs complete failure to execute. We ranked among the worst in the majors at scoring runners from third and less than two outs. Near the end of the season, we lost a game to Houston where we had the bases loaded, nobody out in the ninth and failed to score, giving the Stros the win, and the sad part was that I wasn't even remotely surprised.
