    For good reason.

    Ok, who didn't see that one coming? Anyone? Bueller?
  3. erik316wttn
    Hahahaha. Only the Cubs.

    I think Marmol is broken, guys.
  5. erik316wttn
    Marmol's up.

    There goes the shutout. But Wells has still been masterful tonight. Might be wise to put the pen on call right now, though.

    If a no-hitter is going to get broken up, I'd rather it be on a solid hit like Chipper had rather than one of those debatable ones like the Orie error in the 20K game.
  8. erik316wttn
    Yeah, I thought "If he can get Chipper, he might just do it". The next pitch Chipper got a hit. So much for that.

    Who needs Peavy when you've got Randy Wells?
  10. erik316wttn
    Damn. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> Great run, Randy. Now shut them out.

    I, for one, am not upset by the decision to put Marshall in the pen at the expense of Wells going to the rotation. Randy deserves it, and Marshall will be very valuable in the pen as a guy who can eat up 2 innings at a time, or even spot start when necessary. A good long man in the pen is worth his weight in gold.

    It's kind of disturbing to me that bhogg knew of them. It's even more disturbing that posting that in the game threads is considered by some to be a good thing. I would have been completely happy never seeing that pic for the rest of my life.

    So Broadway could celebrate his arrival in the Big Apple by cruising down Broadway. ..... sorry
  14. erik316wttn
    Should? Yes. Will? No.

    Wasn't last year's Wrigley series with the dodgers really low-scoring in all 3 games as well?
  16. erik316wttn
    50/50 on Billingsley throwing a no-hitter.

    What do the last 100 years have to do with this one? Do you really think that fans operate in some vortex? If people were born within a year, loved the Cubs then died within that year you might have a point. But people live 65+ years, and experience the long droughts of this pathetic franchise. The goal is to win the world series. Until the Cubs do, they will have that stigma, and so will the fans. That's the perception. Still doesn't answer why I shouldn't be positive about this team because the Wrigley family/Tribune Co. was too cheap to spend money on good players in the 80s and 90s for example. I think 101 years is enough of a sample size. Now we spend the money, but we just give absurd contracts to players who don't deserve it, and we trade away players who are at their maximum value for dog crap on a stick.

    I'd take Ryan Freel 10 times out of 10 over Gathright. i wouldnt have signed Gathright in the first place There's your winner, folks.

    Branyan is a glorified Rob Deer. woah look out scouting report coming Oh, how I missed your clever remarks during the month you were banned.
  20. erik316wttn
    A horrible deal that isn't getting enough attention. Dempster was a nice story last year and did a nice job but there was no way in hell he was going to repeat that (especially 4 more times)! That thing is an albatross of Chan Ho Park proportions. but he's a great clubhouse guy. thats what hendry said. he said people don't realize how great he is in the clubhouse and they couldnt lose that i'd rather have guys that are actually good, but you can't blame hendry for thinking with his heart instead of his head! thats how you win titles You always have to be wary of guys who have career years in contract years.

    Yeah, this team kinda sucks. I'd be shocked if they make the postseason. Yes, I know it's not even June yet. I don't care. this team isn't good enough.
  23. erik316wttn
    good old cubs
  24. erik316wttn
    Pfft. If it works for the bullpen, why not apply it to the lineup, too? *sigh* if only I had learned to throw a baseball left-handed. it wouldn't matter if I could get hitters out or not, I'd still make tons of money for being terrible at my job.
  25. erik316wttn
    Under normal circumstances, yes. With Freel going on the DL, though, that allowed Scales to be recalled. I was not aware of that exception. Thanks.
