  1. That video makes me tear up. It also makes me feel sick to my stomach when I think of the playoffs.
  2. There goes my fantasy team. :(
  3. I thought this thread was going to be about Chorizo. :(
  4. How about Fontenot? He should get a shot.
  5. I think the best case scenario is that Izturis gets busted for steroids and reveals that MacPhail, Hendry and Dusty are his suppliers.
  6. Sell our entire bullpen, right now. :shock:
  7. Get a slingbox and a friend in whatever area you want to see games from. :-$
  8. Burrell and Abreu are just about equally bad in the OF.
  9. I think they should get rid of divisions and just have the 4 best records in the league make the playoffs.
  10. http://67.18.37.15/2298/12/emo/sadcub.gif
  11. How about BJ Upton? They can't seem to figure out that he needs to move to CF.
  12. Don't the Cubs have enough sub 800 OPS outfielders as it is?
  13. Not likely. My dad went to series vs. Tigers in '45 - lucky dog. My grandmother doesn't even remember a world series title, she's 97.
  14. If he needs 5 or 6 days to come back from 80-90 pitch outings, don't you think he'll need a lot of time coming back from 20-30 pitch outings in the pen? I don't think a move to the pen is going to help a guy who needs long recovery times. No, I think it's much easier to recover from a 20-30 pitch effort than an 80-90 pitch effort. Remember they moved him to the bullpen last year because the 50-60 pitch mark was what they said was the problem. I just think it's better to build up his strength slowly out of the bullpen. Plus I think it's better for him in the long run. They moved him there, but that doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. And last year wasn't the same as the current, post-surgery problems. They thought he couldn't physically handle the 90 pitch outings last year, this year he can't recover between outings. Big difference. It just goes to show you the idiots we have running this organization. Wood should have never been moved to the bullpen and have stayed there for so long. It was a terrible idea. He should have had the surgery immediately. He should have been done with recovery by now, if he had it done when they found the problem.
  15. I was impressed with the show of support from the Cardinals fans, they all said they enjoyed listening to Ron.
  16. I don't care about double switches or sacrifice bunts. Bring on the DH.
  17. 1 for 3 today with a walk and 2 more SB.
  18. Yes. Basically, Hendry is delaying the decision of who to take off of the 40man that was created when he added Womak until Prior is ready to come back. I'm hoping he's working on a trade or two. As bad as the team is that Hendry has assembled, he's generally been pretty good at making trades (as long as the trading partner isn't Florida...) Yeah, we gave up Choi for basically nothing. Yeah, the guy we got isn't even playing anymore.
  19. If they do get him, how long til the Cubs are the MOST embarrassing club in MLB?
  20. I would gladly trade the cubs entire farm system for Cabrera. We don't have anyone who will be nearly as good as him, he's even younger than some of our "prospects". He's 10 days younger than EPatt, 3 years younger than Hill, 8 months younger than Marshall... He's a Hall of Fame player, barring injury.
  21. "pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth: barrett shoulda used his limit break, hes been in the majers for what eight years, he should at least have "catasprophe" by now" :lol:
  22. Nothing interesting really. I don't think they match up with the Cubs for a trade.
