Well..... I still like the guy. :(
-
In the extremely unlikely event we get ARod, we'll have to ditch one of DeRosa or Theriot.
-
I enjoy both songs, actually, and will play either depending on my mood towards the team at the time. Needless to say, up till about June it was almost exclusively "Dying Cub Fan's Last Request."
-
I love this kid, and I hope he's our shortstop for a long time. He can get the big hit, hits for contact, has a good glove, good speed... not a lot of power but he's a very good #2 type hitter. I love The Riot!
-
Cubs are 71-0 when they win.... 0-67 when they don't. GO CUBS!!! ;)
-
Haven't heard much about Fuld. Is he a decent looking prospect?
-
starting? he's been a bargain all year. i meant that there really isn't any debate anymore When he was hitting in the .240's for the longest time he didn't look all that great, but now he's coming around and contributing.
-
When will Lou learn? Dempster sucks in non-save situations. He should have to write this on a blackboard 100 times before and after every game until he learns.
-
Yes. He was originally cast as Marty in "Back to the Future" and actually shot some scenes before they hired Michael J. Fox and fired him.
-
I also think it would be a good idea. It would be a good way for some posters to learn baseball things in an easy way, and I ultimately think it would lead to better discussions, debate, etc on the site as more people would understand what was going on, etc. Not that I'm saying there are people here who aren't able to follow conversations, but even I get lost and kind of glaze over in the sabremetric-heavy discussions because all those numbers don't mean anything to me.
-
I'd be inclined to agree, but the Brewers and Cardinals face some difficult teams while the Cubs probably won't see another team over .500 the rest of the season after the Dodgers. This is the Cubs. They make losing into an art form.
-
This, friends, is where the bottom falls out. The Cubs will be realistically out of any race by this time next week.
-
Planet Hendry.
-
Bases loaded, we don't score. Same old Cubs.
-
God damn you, Derrek
-
Full count to Lee.
-
1st and 2nd, no out. Lee steps in...
-
Kent picked off! 3 out!
-
Error on ARam. Runner on first.
-
1 pitch, 1 out. I'll make dinner before the next pitch. Be back in a bit.
-
That's odd. C B Bucknor is a massive (word that will get me banned) when it comes to umping Cub games.

Zambrano can let his emotions get the better of him and deck Michael Barrett, but fans are supposed to sit on their hands the entire game and show zero emotion. Zambrano is the prince of emotion, in line to succeed Ron Santo as king. Cardinal fans were dead wrong to boo any part of their 11 run blowout yesterday, too. If only the fans would have cheered louder at each fundamental blow up, the Cardinal players would have seized the moment and scored 12 runs to come back and win the game. It doesn't work that way. Fans pay money to show some emotion at the game. They all prefer to cheer the whole game. And they don't boo when someone boots a ground ball. Boot 4 or 5 ground balls and yeah, you're going to hear displeasure. It's the nature of the beast. Winner. I think its asinine to say "it's ok to cheer, but not ok to boo." Are we really in that much of a pansy society that booing might hurt the little millionaire's feelings? A common cure for booing is to not suck. I guarantee if Z would go out and be the Z we know he can be on his next start, he'd leave to a standing ovation. For the money these guys are making, I'd be willing to sit on second base for 3+ hours while the entire stadium boos the hell out of me.

What happened?

Does anyone else think Marmol should be a starter in 2008?
erik316wttn replied to badnews's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
But why mess with a good thing? Yes, ultimately, 200 innings of Marmol is better than 60-70, but is there one other man on this staff you'd trust more in the late innings with men on base in a tie game? -
I hope Yost sticks around until the end of the year. The more he drives the Brewers into the ground with his dumbassery (I made a new word!), the better it is for us. But yes, Yost is a terrible manager.
