    This qoute to me is kind of silly I would think that any owner would want that. The question is how to go about doing it. I don't want a new package of feces with the same old faces of retread GMs, scouts, AGMs, and mangers who all Played The Game and use the same old conventional wisdom that has got the Cubs 99 years of crap. I don't know that these guys will do that sort of thing, but I have my suspicions. Especially if Steve Stone is in any way linked to them.

    Geo Soto!!!!!! There is no telling how many games the Cubs would be up if he'd been catching since July!

    What a wild game. I wish I were at Wrigley right now. Crazy.
  7. CubinNY
    This could be one of those 15-12 type games.
  8. CubinNY

    When Marqui is like this he does not get better. I hope Lou gives him a short leash.

    if that were the case, I would think it would show up in P/PA and IsoD. P/PA v. lefties - 3.73 v. righties - 3.73 IsoD v. lefties 61 v. righties 62 they are not appreciably more patient against righties than they are against lefties. And that's the problem.

    then i don't think you understand the question The question posed by the OP is pretty clear: It's a ridiculous question - why do we give a rat's ass about this type of "fan"? Who cares? It's not the case for 99.9% of the posters on NSBB. i don't think people "like" that the team hasn't won in 99 years. however, i think that once the team does win, you won't see a ton of support for the team if/when they tank again. the comparison to the Red Sox doesn't hold water, as Boston was a perennial playoff team before 2004 and since. the Cubs have showed no ability to put together two straight postseason years much less a decade of them. do people really think that Wrigley will be filled to the rafters every day if the Cubs put up a 95 loss team after winning it all? I don't That's the worst argument I think I've ever read on here. The Cubs wouldn't be selling out if they post a 95 loss season no matter what. Look what happend at the end of last year. This entire thread is a text book example of specious reasoning. I don't get it. It's moronic to conclude that winning would hurt the Cubs in popularity, even if they suck the next year.

    no patience, it is that simple.

    And what I'm saying is this is ridiculous. "True fans" is a stupid phrase. The theory that many fans find the team trendy because they lose is stupid. The theory that marketing would decline if they won is asinine. It's a stupid topic that should be deleted. Immediatly, it would skyrocked, however, in the long runs, people outside Chicago would not care as much, and wed become another hated big money team like the Yanks and Red Sox. Holy moley, the Yankees and Red Sox probably have the two largest fan bases in baseball. The Cubs, Dodgers, and Giants are probably in the second teir. I think you are not approaching this logically. When I was really young I liked the Minnesota Vikings of Fran Tarknington, Alan Page, Chuck Forman, Sammy White, George Marsahall etc.. I still like the Vikings today even know they suck and play in roller dome. Whatever fans the Cubs get by winning will be a plus.

    Here is a little more... Danger Will Robinson, Danger! That said, two years is a reasonable amount of time for his contract.
  17. CubinNY
    No. He probably cost them at least 3 or 4 games this year.
  18. CubinNY
    How about the IBB to Berkman to get to Lee. That's Charlies Weis genius right there.
  19. CubinNY
    Go Cubs, go!
  20. CubinNY
    He could probably be as good as Pierre defensively with a little more experience. I could see a team regarding him as a valuable as leadoff man. If Patterson is in the outfield, his greatest value to the Cubs is as a tradeable comodity.
  21. CubinNY
    Mismanaged. The NBA has a salary cap and the the Clippers stink year after year. The NFL has a cap and look at the Lions.
  22. CubinNY
    Haven't Patterson's problems at second been throwing? If so, I think those could be rectified.
  23. CubinNY
    Listen, it doesn't matter who you are or where you work. You should take it as a sign of respect that people respond your posts in a critical manner and not take things personally. This is a stupid message board, every opinion will be dicected and disagreements will arise.

    When I was 8 or 9 my cousin told me the cup was a gas mask so I put it over my nose.

    Defference and respect are intersections on a two way street.
