    The asphalt parking lot is a better ballpark then Shea.

    The best rant ever! One can almost hear the spit flying out of his mouth.

    I think some managers work off of a series of one year contracts, but I could be wrong. My current belief is that Dusty doesn't really want to be in Chicago. However, if the Cubs do well anything is possible.

    Six more weeks of this and the Cubs may have a new right fielder. Come on Felix, learn a lot and get better quick.

    I like Diaz but I don't think he is a difference maker. He is also a guy without a position. They've tried him everywhere and he has stunk it up in the field. I do think he is a Chicagoan though.

    Regardless, I think Philadelphia will be thinking about rebuilding. I don't think high dollar players will be want they want. I think they will want top notch ready-to-contribute young players.

    Give me a break. Pitching has not been the problem with this team, its been offense. It has alwys been offense, last year the Cubs were near the top in HRs, SLG, and BA. And only in the middle of the pack in runs scored. Same in 2003 and 2004. The Cubs have the pitching to win, but not the offense. So are you saying the Cubs shouldn't try to upgrade? That is pretty assinine. Yeah, we'll trade some surplus pitching for Abreu. I'm sure they'll take a package of Marshall and Hill for Abreu. Offense doesn't win division titles. Pitching does. yep. so if you have a chance to upgrade your offense you shouldn't even do it. You really think we can upgrade the offense w/o downgrading some other element of our team? We don't live in fantasy land. Philly will get something valuable in return, not a bunch of minor league leftovers that could beat out Rusch and Williamson for a rotation spot. Fatasy land? No one in this thread has suggested that the Cubs trade "surplus" pitching. As I wrote in the very first post, it will take the best the Cubs have to offer. I also posed the question, do the Cubs have enough? I don't think anyone would advocte trading Zambrano or Prior. I certianly am not. How hard is it to answer, no?

That is pretty assinine. That's true, but I'd also argue that having Wood, Prior, and Miller for five months each would be more beneficial to the team than upgrading from Jones to Abreu for two. That is not the point here. I will stipulate that having good starting pitching is more important than a upgrade in RF. However, since 2003 in losing streaks of 4 or more games (46 games total) the Cubs averaged 2.8 runs. This includes six shut outs and nine games where they scored only 1 run. In other words, in 32% of those games the Cubs scored 1 run or less. The percantage goes up to 41% if we bump that up to two runs or less. The question is if Abreu is available, do the Cubs have enough young talent to get him? It is much easier to accept an answer of no rather than a non secuitor, of ptiching will win.

    I was going to put this in the Caberra thread but I didn't want to hijack. With Philadelphia's pitching they have the makings of falling out of he race quickly. Therefore, I'd say it is much more likely that Abreu gets traded around the deadline than Caberrra. The question is: do the Cubs have enough young pitching talent get him? What a beautiful dream: Pierre Walker Lee Rameriz Abreu Murton Barrett Cedeno Pitcher The run socring potential is huge there. Who to give up? Hill Marshall Guzman Pie Ghallager Momrol I am sure Philly will be holding out for **** players

    Prince is a carbon copy of his pappy. The resemblence is uncanny. However, in the days of personal trainer and neutritionists his girth is remarkable.

    This is like when Haden Fry painted the visting locker room pink at Kinnick Stadium. Get into their heads Dusty, get into their heads. I love it!

    Troll much? Who mentioned Patterson in this thread? A. Patterson is not an option as he plays for Baltimore B. I don't expect Jones to go 0 for 06. C. He hits in the fith spot, Dusty cannot keep him there if he Ks on the same high frequencies as he has done so far. D. I asked, how long? If he goes into Tuesday without a hit how much longer can Dusty stick with him.
  14. CubinNY
    How long will Dusty start him? How long will Dusty bat him 5th? 3 Ks today and 0 for 2006. Here is to Pie learning a lot quick.

    Encarnacion poped out to Hairston. Cubs win. All runs scored on long balls.
  16. CubinNY
    Exhibit B 4/8/06 3 runs all on XBH

    Pat and Ron on XM 186 for me. I wish this were on TV. With Z against the Cards you never know what is going to happen. It should be very exciting, especially with the way Maddux made them look yesterday. I can't wait!
  18. CubinNY
    Wow, I knew it was bad, just not that bad. Although if Walker wasn't cheapshoted by Carlos Lee last year he probably would have edged out the Neifurry.

    Maddux

    CubinNY replied to NCCubFan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Maddux looked pretty impressive to me. He had the hitters out in front all day long. He hit all of his spots. It was vintage Maddux. He was in control the entire game.

    XM Radio (Holden Kushner) is reporting that "in essence Derek Lee has resended his deadline of the contract extention getting done...To tomorrow or tuesday at the latest". He went on to say that a deal is close.
  21. CubinNY
    I'd suggest that you contact the Cubs or WGN. I am sure they would accomidate your request.
  22. CubinNY
    Ok. I put $100 of the Brewers to win the World Series at 60 to 1 odds. Right now they are 4-0. Only 158 games and let the playoffs begin.
  23. CubinNY
    Boy, if Lee walks that will change the entire complection of the off-season. Especially b/c of Dope's broken foot.

    Neifi has no business starting but he seems to be a pretty good guy. Last year I bought four tickets to in "the home plate club" section at PNC as a father's day gift for my pop. My wife and I met my mom and dad in Pittsbugh and went to the game. The home plate club is pretty cool. Anyway, during batting practice Neifi took the time to talk to me for about five minutes when he saw me decked out in Cub blue. Nice guy. I tried to talk to Dubios, but I called him creature and if looks could kill, I'd be in boot hill. Needless to say, he didn't come over.

    No, it is true and "novice" fans should believe it.
