dusty being dusty (BUT NOT DUMB, GET IT STRAIGHT)
CubinNY replied to treebird's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Like any great sage, John B. Baker talks in parapbles. -
It was 60:1 in January when I had my dad place the bet. I don't know what the odds are no. I think a much safer, yet less lucrative bet would be Cleveland.

Lee Signs (report)
CubinNY replied to UMFan83's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Since we are stating our opinions, I think you are way off. They wouldn't hold a press conference to tell the fans that Lee is being stubborn and won't agree to a reasonable extension. That has never been Hendry's m.o. When he has fiured away at players in the past, its been through subtle commentary in informal interviews. Pretty sure Tree was referring to crazy numbers, not that Lee is holding out or anything. That said...if Lee wanted crazy numbers, free agency would've been the way to get that. 4/48 is my guess. Exactly. As Gammons mentioned last night, if he wanted go FA, NY and Boston would compete to see how many Brinks trucks they could drive to his door. Lee would likely put up some monster numbers in Boston. Crisp 2 Lee Ortiz Manny That would be sick. -
My guess is it has to do with getting Zamborno's computer password and "chatting" with/to some of Z's internet friends. :cyclopsani:

4/11, Cubs/Reds, Cy Rusch/Arroyo, CSN 1:20
CubinNY replied to Mark_R's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Losing the next two out of three will do the Cubs no good. They have to keep the winning going if they want to be a conteda'. I am looking at you [expletive]. Throw strikes and go after people and good things will follow. Go Cubs! -
I think much of the "debate" is like two ships passing in the night and never catching sight of one another. No one to my knowledge has said that speed is a bad things. All else equal give me the faster guy. I think what has been discussed is the value of speed as a stand alone tool. In my opinon as a stand alone it has no real value at all. hits with speed>hits power with speed>power Field/arm with speed>field/arm Plate discipline with speed>plate discipline speed without any of the above = speed

I am sure he is yes. I know it has sort of become a joke in the Cubs organization, but the towel drill is a very important drill for pitchers to work on keeping their mechanics in line. Is there any data on that or is this a new thing that looks good? All things being equal (i.e., no arm troubles), I'd just as soon a pticher pitch.
-
I agree.
-
Game!
-
two away!
-
Nice play Big Red.
-
2nd Wild pitch of the night.
-
Cards are comming unglued. and Moran is making excuses for the best defensive third baseman ever. Pagan is fast.
-
Just can't underestimate the importance of slow guys jacking HRs Jock with another hit!
-
OH MY BARRETTGASIM. I feel so good!
-
Even though he has no idea how correct he really is.
-
No kidding. I though Barrett set up late. Molina hops around like he has jock itch.
-
Lee's going to hit a double in the gap and tie up this game. Hairston to third on a WP
-
Wuertz's ABs against Pujols and Rolen aside, agreed. He was probably rusty after sitting on the bench for over a week.
-
Jerome has looked good tonight. So far the bullpen has been as good as advertised.
-
coughflashchatcough
-
At least Edmonds has looked awful. Guess all the cold showers have got him off his game.
-
At least the crowd is upset. "he looked bad that's why he got rung up." What a genius.

Almost

Winner of "stupidest" comment of the night so far: What the hell does that mean? Anyone, anyone?
