    Is Mark Reed still a prospect at C? He's still pretty young (21) but he hasn't exactly set the world a fire in the box and he had 8 errors this year. Does he have enough value as a tradeable commidity?

    Or it wasn't a very good joke. I'm sure they get the joke elsewhere.

    I think it has to be Ted Williams. Gerhig was nearing the end of his career anyway. Willams lost his 24, 25, and 26 year old seasos plus parts of his early 30s. Gerhig is the only one who is close and it isn't even that close.

    and the wheels have fallen off.

    Ron is going to cry.

    And now Larussa has pinch hit for Jimenez. They will be on pitcher number 3 going into the 3rd inning lol Burn them tony, burn them. I don't see St. Louis hanging on as they go down the stretch.

    They can only hit hard throughing fastball pitchers.

    He just earned his money right there! Soriano vs. the Dodgers!
  9. CubinNY
    The Dodgers have a better record than the Cubs.

    Lowe is of the variety of pitchers that give the Cubs trouble. Soft-tossing lefties Crafty righties Sinkerballers The only guys they consistently hit are hard throwing guy who rely on their fastball. They don't have the patience to deal with anything else.

    Got to get Jason out of there after 6. Damn, damn, damn,

    That's the second time in a week Ward has been picked off. Gah! Stupid.
  13. CubinNY
    Get to him early, because you won't get to him late.
  14. CubinNY
    Because of something he did this year? In the majors? Ignore it, it is stupid Desipio humor aimed at making fun of the board without anyone realizing it. I'm sue he/she/it they got a real belly laugh out of the post.

    It's never a good idea to be late for work, especially if you were just hired. I hope the Cubs at least warned him before firing him, for all intents. I also hope he learns something from this. At the same time, I hope the Cubs don't make too big of a deal out of it that they trade him for a box of cracker-jacks.

    Don't buy into that at all. Lou has remained fluid through out the entire season, and may be one of the reasons the Cubs are even in the race in the first place. It could also be the reason why the Cubs aren't 5 or 6 games in first place instead of .5 too. We'll never know, but I'd compare Lou's tactis to Bobby Cox's and they don't look so good.
  18. CubinNY
    In whack-a-mole the only guy who wins is the guy collecting the quarters. Lou cannot win consistently by playing "the hot hand" or by trying what was needed yesterday. On a local scale luck rules, but on global scale talent does. The Cubs were extremely unlucky last night, but that doesn't mean it is a good tactic to play for luck. It's like gambler chasing after lost money. Lou needs to get the best eight position players in the lineup and keep them there.

    Z had over 2 hours to be pissed off before his press conference. Plenty of time to blow off some steam, and say what Kip Wells said. Instead Z decided to go the different route. Please. Did he hurt your feelings? Please, its not about hurting my feelings its about being a Pro. I'm sure you know a lot about that. You and everyone else cannot have it both ways. Lots of people love the firey fist pumping Z after a K. Or the hustling Z who tried to get to every ball. Or the Z who says, "I have to give it up to God, becuase without him I'd be screwed". Well this is the same guy. He's emotional. The only difference is he's emotional after a loss instead of a win. You have to take the good with the bad.

    One time I was pitching at half distance in the cage before a game and got a comebacker that just cleared the elbow of L screen. It hit me square in my right eye. The only thing that saved me was the balls were probably pretty soft (shag balls) and I was wearing plastic sunglasses. The glasses frame completely embedded in my eyebrow and down the side of cheeck and cut to the bone. I had 75 sttches and sitll have numbsness around my eye socket. And I was lucky.

    Oh boy. Z not "shaping up" will be the glisseny drop of dew on top of the cherry, on top of the whipped cream, on top of the icing, on top of the crap cake that Hendry made. DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT BLAMING HENDRY FOR Z'S ACTIONS If by shaping up you mean pitch better, I think everyone agree with that. And I hope he does. I really don't get all this hate at all. Z has pitched poorly, he made a boneheaded baserunning mistake, and he was pissed off at the end of the game. He's human. He probably said some things he regrets, but nobody likes to get booed. People, imagine if 35 of your "friends" came to your job when you had a bad day or were sluffing off posting here and started ridiculing you. How would you feel about it? Z shouldn't have said what he said, but I think his feelings are a natural part of being human.

    Pack a lunch and bring your crossword puzzles, Steve "do I really have to do this?" Traschel is on the bump. Should be a good one.
  24. CubinNY
    Boy I hope so, Loiza is just the sort of pitcher the Cubs struggle against. It may have helped them facing Williams today.
  25. CubinNY
    Edgar Renteria, were looking at you. I really hope he takes a beaning next year from Big Z.
