Here is the score: Tony is a dick. Maddux was making the Cardinal hitters look useless. So what does he do? He resorts to the lowest sophomoric tactics one can think of. Then the other dick (Edmonds) takes a page from Tony's book and does it again. So? That's not my point. My point is that it happens all over baseball and people are acting like it is exclusive to LaRussa and the Cardinals. This kind of stuff has been going on in baseball for 100+ years. It's a non issue. Get over it. Maddux didn't get his feelings hurt, just some of you apparently. No Maddux just laughed at their patheticness.

So all that crap about none of them being back until June was just that... Crap? It's not crap until he pitches for the Chicago Cubs. May Day (the workers holliday) is one week from now. I don't expect him back until late May at the earliest. That is only a month away. If he throws 1 start in the minors next week then his first start with the Cubs will be pushed back a week from that start date (that makes two weeks). I think he'll make more than one minor league start. If he makes two minor league starts that puts him 3 weeks away from a start with the Cubs. And that is with no setbacks. I don't think June is that far fetched.

His one tool is speed. I see his career path kind of Like Kenny Lofton's. Yep, I was thinking exactly the same thing. There's a good reason why Lofton has been on one year contracts for a while now. It's because at his age he's liable to lose another step any day now and become utterly worthless. He does deserve one year offers, but that's all. In another couple of years Pierre will be the same. actually, by that logic, the Cubs should sign him up for three or four years. Lofton put up fantastic numbers the first three or four years after he was first eligible for free agency, and at a similar age. not that I advocate such a thing, but it is logically inconsistent and/or premature to say 'his career path will be like Kenny Lofton, therefore only sign him to one year contracts.' What is it with you? A career path like Kenny Lofton does not mean exactly. Only similar. Be that as it may, I could well see Pierre get a three year deal next year. I just hope it isn't with the Cubs.

If he retired 15 to 20 years ago he might have a shot, might. But with the offensive explosion of the past decade there is no way he gets in. None.

It is beyoond the bounds of playing the game the right way. Now if there is evidence to suggest a pitcher is doctoring the ball that is on thing, but it was clear he wasn't. LaRussa is lucky he didn't put one of his players in Jeopardy. A lesser human being (like myself) would have earholed the first batter after two outs and no one on. What TLR did was well beyond the bounds of gamesmenship.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-23-2006
CubinNY replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
What is going on with Sing??? -
You use the first when you like the player, and you use the second when you don't. No, you use the second when a new guy is with the ballclub and he has performed poorly, as in, "Jacque Jones and Juan Peirre have been terrible as Cubs" becuase they have. The statement makes no prognostications about the future. It is only a statement about the present. What? If it makes a statement about the present and ONLY the present, how does that only encompass "new" players to the team? Because they have no past with the Cubs.

4/23 Cubs (Maddux) @ Cardinals (Marquis) 1:15 PM WGN TV
CubinNY replied to Chris's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Somebody on the Cardinals needs to get drilled and I mean bad. -
Dude, like you said, its not the walks that made the cards beat us, its the timely hitting! No, it pretty much was the walks.

I think Dusty is a bad manager and I don't mind people complaining. Let's face it, there is a lot to complain about. But it seems like a lot of random threads are started just to rant on a move or non-move Dusty does or doesn't make. This then leads to people complaining about the complaint and so on until a moderator has to step in. How about if we (well, one of the mods really) make a sticky in Rants just for Dusty?

I saw a couple of guys walk out holding stacks of stadium flags that they had bought. i asked the people working there, and they said the bases were gone in 10 mins, would have been sooner, but they could not write them up that fast. the cub flags and "W" flags gone within 15 mins. bats gone within 30 mins....i dont mean to sound like a baby, but i would have been nice to see some other ppl walk away with a stadium flag, not guys with armfuls... dont get me wrong, its a great idea, but it could have been handled better IMO Don't worry. They will be up on Ebay in a few days for 5 to 10 times what those jerks paid for them. It is the same way with the scalpers. There has to be a way to limit this kind of nonsense. I'd only sell people 4 tickets at at time unless they buy season tickets.

The Cubs need a GAME from Mad Dog tomorrow. Dusty give them a tounge lashing after this game please. Either that or call up the entire AAA team and let them play a game.

I've tried not being a fan. To my horror, I discovered it's a disease that has no cure. Believe me, if I could escape I would have long ago. I tried to become an Oakland fan the first time Dusty started Neifi this year, but I'm addicted. As much as I hate myself for it, I'm addicted. :) That's actually a good idea. When do Frank Thomas and Co. play today? Focus on the minor leaguers. There is always optimism in the future.

Poor Vance. I bet he is really taking a beating. I hope he remembers he is 5' 6" and weighs 150.
-
Stream of whinnyness (sp?) from Lee's injury to not getting the breaks. Bynum looked beautiful there.
-
Talk about whinny. Listen to Len.
-
A series against the Marlins should prevent that from happening. I doubt it. A series with the Marlins might prove to be more of a catalyst for said bender Maddux will step up tomorrow. He is the right man for this spot. I really wish he was ptiching last night. Jerome looked overmatched last night.
-
If Rolen doesn't get that it is an infield hit.
-
Thanks for the commentary.
-
If I'm Dusty after this game I am going to go "medieval" on this team. The profanities would be a flyin' Walks kill.
-
This could get interesting. Another double switch. Bynum for Muton. Now the powere is in the line up. Dusty has them right where he wants them. They will really need a good outing from Maddux tomorrow. He has to be a stopper tomorrow or the Cubs could go into a free fall.
