  1. I'm with you. With Guzman and Hill possibly in Iowa, the I-Cubs may have nearly as good a rotation as the Cubs if Lilly and Marquis can't keep the ball in the park.
  2. i would mull rooting against them if that happened. Start mulling.
  3. I don't know if I would call him dumb, but he is certianly uneducated. He's a product of his environment (like everyone else). He grew up in Cinncinatti with a father that gambled on a daily basis. Played baseball in his home town and was idolized by just about everyone during the "big red machine's" run. Everyone in Cinncinatti looked the other way when in came to Pete. Now he's paying the price for it. I bet he really can't understand what is going on and feels like the victim in all this. Maybe he is somewhat, but he brought all the scorne on himself. At some point he needs to realize that he is the problem, not baseball.
  4. Amen. Cowherd is the WORST in radio. He makes Rome tolerable. NOTHING makes Rome tolerable. Bob Sander from I-town in I-state have a take and don't suck. Rack em!
  5. As bad as it sounds, and it is very bad (to me anyway), I believe that the Cubs would trade Hill or Guzman before they will trade Marquis. If Marquis really stinks it up I think they would relsease him. But if he pitches @ 5 ERA they will keep him.
  6. They don't make them that big. He has to be a 10 3/4.
  7. The Fonz does not inspire confidence in CF.
  8. Hey, somebody's gotta be the new whipping boy. I think Marquis is going to win that role in a landslide. Especially if he wins a spot in the rotation over Hill. Win hell. It sounds as if he already been given one. But things can change if he stinks. My fear is he will pitch just well enough to stay in the rotation.
  9. It doesn't look like Hank White is buying any of it.
  10. I liked them, well not really but they do say a lot. Why do you think they are worthless?
  11. I can tell you that it looks like Soriano is using Louisville M9's, which are Maple bats. I always thought that taping the barrel keeps bats from splitting. I like to use black bats because you can see the ball marks on the barrel to see if you are hitting mostly on the sweetspot. You are correct. I've seen fungo bats taped up so much they look like regular bats.
  12. Yea, he didn't exactly look too coodinated in that picture.
  13. The dress code: Half-shirt for men.
  14. They do that for batting practice. It helps with dents and cracks.
  15. I don't like it, but they already have "Sears" all over the dugout. I guess it's kind of like your favorite college band "selling out" to make some bucks. oh yea, YELL!
  16. I was waiting for that! LOL! I've already told my wife that should something happen to me I want my ashes spread at Wrigley. I don't care where or how she does it.
  17. I agree. How will Larry counteract Marquis "stubborness"?
  18. Z Hill Lilly Prior Miller Marquis becomes a long man. My guess is that someone (Marquis, Hill, Prior, or Miller) will get traded for a SS who can hit at the end of July. If they're all healthy, to begin the season Miller makes the most sense there...I don't think you can trade marquis till June or so since we just signed him... Z, Hill, Lilly, Prior, Marquis That probably makes much more sense. I just have no confidence in Marquis at all. He's been through Duncan and Mazzoni and they both couldn't "figure him out". I have no faith that Larry will do any better.

  20. More about Prior and Miller: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070215&content_id=1803050&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc&partnered=rss_chc You gotta love the quotes from Lou.
  21. BEANS AND FRANKS, BEANS AND FRANKS, BEANS AND FRANKS. :phones:
  22. Or "chatting" with "friends" on line.
