  1. I agree. When the Cubs got home from LA they played a three game serise against the Marlins. After the Marlins serise in which they had 14 or 15 hits in three games and still won two out of three, I made thread "Dark Cloud or Good Sign". This slide started there and they haven't had an off day since. In retrospect, it wasn't a dark cloud but a Category 5 hurricane.
  2. Let's wait and see how he pitches first. The loss of velocity is a concern. Slow. Gun. Multiple slow guns? I don't think so. How many times do you have to read that it was in the 40s and rainy? How can anyone possible think a pticher could have his best stuff on a night like that.
  3. And a week ago he sucked. It's called regression to the mean. It can go in both directions. But I expect he will be pretty close to his three year averages at the end of the year. How stupid will this thread look in a week if he goes back to old ways? One thing I've noticed is that he has been a littler more paitent during his current streak of mediocrity.
  4. http://www.suntimes.com/output/cubs/cst-spt-chris14.html Get used to it.... As soon as the Cubs have a decent good luck streak, of say, maybe 5 games....the Cubs will extend Baker for anoter 1 to 2 yrs. :evil. It is inevitable that Baker will be extended. :shock: :evil: :x I thought all this re-signing Dusty was just crazy talk from the frustrated fans, but to read it in the paper? I cannot believe that they would even think about re-signing him when the team looks this bad on a daily basis. And have since 2004. I just cannot believe it. It is beyond belief.
  5. Please somebody help us.
  6. Time to go mow the lawn. I think I will stick my foot under the blade. I would be much more fun then living and dying with every Cub game.
  7. Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go Hey, hey, ho, ho, Dusty Baker has got to go
  8. It's actually funny in a sick sort of way. Just when you think it cannot possibly get worse... it does. I fully expect Pulojs to hit 8 HRs and save the game. Then some Card fan will post a video for us in case we missed it.
  9. Make no mistake. This loss IS on Dusty. Edit: If the Cubs lose.
  10. Santo hasn't said a word since the home run.
  11. Even simple animals know that when you try to get some cheese and get shocked, you stop trying to get the cheese. But goddarnit, variable rewards systems, like gambling, tend to grab people. So Dusty sees some good results from bunting , you know what he's gonna do? BUNT SOME MORE. Of course spread over the course of a season its gonna have a very negative effect, but he wont worry about that. i'm curious to see what these "good results" are. It seems like whenever we bunt, that run never scores. There are complicated inter-related contingencies operating. Not the least of which is the private verbal behavior one engages in with relation to the social contingencis in operation. ------ And the Cubs find a new and more hurtful way to blow a game.

  13. I would have pinch hit for Blanco there.
  14. Neifi or the PH will dirive him in? Odds not good.
  15. Hey... I like it !!! :wink: Note to self: Don't adovcate for Boche to replace Dusty.
  16. Please just right a nasty letter to the editor instead.
  17. You should post this in Rivals.
  18. Eyre and Howry have just started to get warmed up. If Maddux walks him. Dusty better change pitchers.
  19. No, that is something that gets un-noticed in a winning game but is bad baseball none-the-less. People have every right to be upset about it. Just becuase the team is ahead it does not make stupid baseball any more acceptable.
