  1. Not real. They were shading Ronny to pull and he hit it 20 foot from the line.
  2. And Young Ronny with a three bagger!
  3. The Cubs 7th hitter who should be batting 2nd just took a walk.
  4. Walker wouldn't have gotten to that one. Please. Can of corn.
  5. Lee has really closed up the hole in his swing. He should have a real good year. That ball was hard to keep fair.
  6. Nice grab in the hole and nice pick by Lee.
  7. As much as I hate it, I really, really, really, hope Neifi has a good day today. He has to take a few pitches if Pierre is one first, something he didn't do much of last year.
  8. Stone always blamed pitching in Candlestick Park for his shortened pitching career. Because of the weather he always overthrew and had bad mechanics which resluted in arm troubles, which resulted from him throwing in the mid 90s to the high 80s. That is one of the reasons he is so harsh on Wood. He doesn't want Wood to end up like him. I don't know how anyone can claim pitcher abuse by citng two ptichers who either pitched until they were 40 (Flanagan) or 38 (Palmer). Baylor's use of Leiber wasn't abuse as much as it was neglagence. Aside from that incident, I've never seen a pticher go out after a long rain dey on a cold day.
  9. Easy Tim. You don't post here enough anymore and I hate to see you waste them. Don Baylor is to Earl Weaver As Don Knotts is to Arnold Swatzanigar
  10. Yep, really his hitting streak was stopped at 2. I agree. It is like the "Tiger Slam" in goof (yes I know I spelled it wrong)
  11. Personally, I will never get use to Neifi starting. Not today, not tomorrow, not next year when he will be playing out his contract. [lame attempt at Dr. Suess] I do not like Neifi on a field Nor on a sheild hitting second playing second not for one second I do not like Neifi CubinNY I am [/lame attempt at Dr. Suess]
  12. Get well soon, Kerry, Mark, and Wade. We miss you :cry:
  13. He has to bat second. Second basemen bat second. Duh?
  14. Mr. Listach, Was it a difficult transition coming back down to the minors to coach after spending time in the majors? I mean, going from Filet Mingon to In-N-Out Burger would be tough. You must really love baseball. Thanks for talking to us, and I hope to get to a game this year. CubinNY (Soon to be CubinTN)
  15. Andy, Jim, & Dusty- End our pain or get out -Sincerely, All Cub fans.
  16. Flanagan and Palmer missed about a combined 80 starts under him and Steve Stone's career ended at 33. The Cubs led the NL in homers in 2002. Baylor came up with Baltimore, but I don't think he is a disciple of Weaver. He spent most of his career in California and NY (Yankees). Under Weaver, Flanagan and Palmer also pitched into their late 30s early 40s. Steve Stone was never a good pticher. He had one good year in 1980 (he did throw 250 innings though). Weaver demanded that his pitchers throw strikes. If they didn't they didn't stay in Baltimore. Throwing strikes, what a concept. And very un-Cub like.
