    That's the playoff roster I hope to see, too. Except that it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Craig Monroe take the place of either Felix Pie or--gulp--Matt Murton. And Kevin Hart might get bumped for Will Ohman. Though I'd rather have Hart as a long guy out of the pen if/when Jason Marquis' start goes only two innings.

    Another day off the calendar.

    I could give a rat's behind what other people think about my baseball team. Why should you care? And why would you want to market 100 years of futility? I'm with the sizeable crowd who believes this is an incredibly stupid thread.

    Please no powder blue pullover jerseys. They looked like they were playing in their pajamas back in the day.

    Yeah, that would stink. I wanted the Man too and I wonder if the OF is as bad as Dunn said. I don't remember any Cub OF's complaining about it. I have heard either Pat or Len say that the Cubs are way overdue for a complete resurfacing of the field, however. Really? Then they better do it this off season then. I hope this ownership thing doesn't stop them from doing it. People have mentioned in another thread that the field renovation might be put on hold this offseason because of the team being bought. Hopefully it still goes through as planned. A link on upcoming field renovations: http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2007/06/by-paul-sulliva.html A shame for Griffey. A great baseball player in a brittle body.

    When you're near the top of that list just about every year, sometimes you have to look more at the pitcher than the manager.

    My wife and two sons are now wide awake!!! I blame the Cubs!

    I listened to part of the game on the radio and it sounded as if the fans were chanting "H-G-H" every time Ankiel stepped to the plate. It doesn't surprise me that a guy who had "mental problems" and suddenly couldn't throw strikes would now buckle under the pressure of the controversy.
  9. Cubfanintheknow
    Well put! Dempster's only "problem" is that when he blows a save, he goes all out. As many have already pointed out, it's the offense. Way too many blown scoring chances.
  10. Cubfanintheknow
    No problems here. Thanks for the update. Must be my cable system.

    Anyone else having issues with Comcast SportsNet Chicago? It keeps showing the text "Channel 1 not available." And about every minute or so the picture comes in for about a second and goes away, only to be replaced by the text again.

    The total condescension in your post aside, yes, I do believe just about everyone who posted in this thread knows the difference. And if you take into account the game situation, you'd better be in a straight steal mode.

    I think it was the right call, too. I think the likelihood of Jason Kendall grounding into a double play was much higher than him striking out. If Kendall just gets a bat on the ball, we wouldn't be talking about it.

    I think if you followed any other baseball team as much as you followed the Cubs, you'd find questionable managerial moves. Probably a lot of them. The mistakes Piniella makes are more glaring to you because you probably know the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the Cubs more than players on other teams. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a fan who believes the manager of his or her favorite team makes the "right" move even 80% of the time.

    That you, Lloyd?

    This is nothing to get riled up over. First of all, the suspensions are based on precedence. That's why Lee got five games and Fielder three. Second, the Cubs and Lee decided not to appeal his five game suspension after Lee fouled a ball off his foot. He was probably going to miss two to three games anyhow, so the Cubs just decided then and there to have Lee serve the suspension rather than miss games from the injury, then miss more because of the suspension.
  17. Cubfanintheknow
    That the Cubs traded for Craig Monroe isn't really something to get all worked up about. What we should really worry about is Monroe playing well for the Cubs for the next six weeks and suddenly getting a two year, six million dollar offer from Hendry in the off-season.

    It's bad enough that he's asked for a temporary restraining order to stop the broadcast of baseball games and all the defendants in the lawsuit. But did he have to drag the defendant's pets into this, too?
  19. Cubfanintheknow
    I know I love when he gets like that. He's a goof and can be annoying at times, but he's in his element when this type of craziness occurs. I'll have to check out Baseball Tonight. He--or anyone else, for that matter--can be excused for their behavior about this game. Thing about it... 30 RUNS! 30!!! Chances are we'll never see it again.

    The box score is amazing. Both the 8 and 9 hitters for the Rangers had four hits, 7 RBI and 10 total bases. Every starter had at least two hits and only one failed to score more than once. And I agree... that Wes Littleton was awarded a save is absolutely ridiculous.
  21. Cubfanintheknow
    OT; Wow! 16 straight losses for the Brewers when Chris Capuano starts. Just two shy of the ML record set back in 1912. Yikes!
  22. Cubfanintheknow
    About time they called it. Radar looks ugly. A wave of showers and thunderstorms is moving toward Chicago from northeast Wisconsin. Another line is developing just west of that one. WOnder how quickly they could build a dome over Wrigley? It's times like this when a roof really comes in handy.

    I believe Andy MacPhail had a hand in the hiring of Dusty Baker and had a rather large say in payroll considerations. But I think he left much of the roster work to Jim Hendry. MacPhail did a lot of work for Major League Baseball (seemed like he was Bud Selig's right-hand man for a while there), leaving him little time to deal with many of the roster moves Hendry pulled off. While Hendry has done a pretty fair job trading, he's made more of his fair share of head-scratching roster moves. I think if we took a look at the rosters over Hendry years, we'd find a lot of players who played for the Cubs, then never wore another major league uniform (Jose Macias and Freddie Bynum come to mind). To me, if you have players that no one else wants when you're done with them, they pretty much had no reason to be on your roster in the first place.

    It's not working. Looks like we'll need the commercial-grade image.
  25. Cubfanintheknow
    Anyone have that "Do not feed the trolls" image? I think it'd come in pretty handy right now.
