  1. in other words, Izturis should be on 3rd base, says Ron S.
  2. EXCELLENT!!! Dogging it on First Contact as a Cub. You're one of Dusty The Butcher's boyz now dude!
  3. Pierre was out so quickly I thought Izturis had been changed to lead-off.
  4. too bad these haven't been afternoon games lately so the Cubs could boil and broil and roast hehe
  5. then again, looking at the rest of the lineup... it suddenly makes sense, in context
  6. Hehe, batting Izturus 2nd in the order is... RIDICULOUS! My god what has this team come to???
  7. As luck would have it, I had the pleasure of watching Juan M. start for the DJaxx vs. Montgomery Biscuits Thurs. July 20 2006. What I saw, looked to me like the performance of a very strong prospect, winning another game for the DJaxx. I saw exactly what one would expect, given his career AA stats -- good control, few walks, several strikeouts. I figured I would eventually see this guy at wrigley someday. I don't know what problem the neurotic Cardinals had with this guy -- I would guess the dirty Cards will be proven wrong in their negative judgement, shortly. Overpowering stuff at the MLB level? I can't judge that. But too good for AA, so give it your best shot Juan.
  8. Z with 1-2-3 inning in the 4th. Score a couple more runs and send the Cards packing.
  9. yes! one of my favorite dusty-isms, have pitcher bat in key situation then yank him after about 2 pitches the next inning.
  10. How the "Cubs" did not win the World's Championship for 2006.
  11. rats! i was really hoping that HBP would come in to score.
  12. i may have to start rooting for the hapless Reds in earnest.
  13. wow that lifeless blob Baker actually got the boot! will wonders never cease?
  14. well... more like when someone hits their 15 versus dealer 6, but then everyone complains if the results hurt the table -- of course everyone smarter than dusty realizes that any such move is exactly neutral in the long run... same as splitting tens is exactly neutral -- same as whatever anyone else does with their own blackjack hand is exactly neutral to anyone's own result in the long run... but i am sure that dusty would yell at me if i split tens... IDIOT!!!
  15. “I do homework every night,” said the beleaguered Baker, whose team improved to 36-56. “It just seems like this year, the numbers haven’t really made too much sense. Some guy’s hitting .500 off a guy, and he doesn’t hit anything. Another guy’s 0-for-8, and he’s hitting. Sometimes numbers work. Sometimes they don’t.” If Dusty actually said that, he said the stupidest thing I've ever heard since the last time I was playing at a blackjack table.
  16. Dusty has managed like 570 baseball games for the Cubs -- if one 4 game series made any difference, that would be amazingly absurd -- absurd enough to be true, when it comes to the Cubs heh.
  17. now this was a game thread befitting the subject matter! Excellent.
  18. Greg "Maddog" Maddux for Interim Manager!
