    A series against the Marlins should prevent that from happening. I doubt it. A series with the Marlins might prove to be more of a catalyst for said bender Maddux will step up tomorrow. He is the right man for this spot. I really wish he was ptiching last night. Jerome looked overmatched last night. True enough, what angers me most is that save for Pujols, Edmonds and Rolen he looked overmatched against what is largely a collection of journey men junk.

    You could be correct. Last night it looked like everybody was feeling sorry for themself, including Len and Bob. However, good teams overcome injuries. This is why many of us wanted another big bat either in the outfield or on the bench. Instead we got Jaque and bench full of utility players. Nevertheless, They need to buck up and play good smart baseball. If the cubs fall apart I will blame Dusty and not injuries. When these things happen, and they do to all teams, it is the manager's job to get the team going. Double swithcing Walker in the 6th for Neifi isn't going to get it done. Agree, CubsinNY. Somebody needs to take a tough loving apprach to these guys, and forced them to forget about Lee for the next 2 months, and play some dang baseball. The Cards COMPENSATED for losing Scott Rolen last year, and they went to the NLCS. So it CAN be done. This team needs to stop feeling sorry for themselves. Add Carpenter and Mulder to that list last year and they don't get anywhere near the NLCS, maybe even the playoffs.

    Last year Rolen was ran over by Choi and was done for the year. The curse thing gets old. Sure it gets old but, how many starts did Carpenter and Mulder miss last season?
  4. gflore34
    Nor do others team start the year with two of their best picthers on the DL year, after year, after year.

    so, they're never going to win a title? At this point it doesn't appear so, its uncanny how whenever there's the slightest glimmer of hope, something blows-up.
  6. gflore34
    Well, the Cardinal bullpen is weak, three or more runs off it is not impossible...
  7. gflore34
    If Ramirez could hit at all, this wouldn't be such a tense moment...
  8. gflore34
    I'm gonna kill him and tear apart that goddamned red bat he has. I had that stupid bat. What difference does it make? Bat or no bat, Jones' at bat will have same result an Ofer.

    Kinda like the one last year when we got Wood, Williamson, and Nomar back right around 8/1? Let's hope it works out better than last season' "trade" did...
  10. gflore34
    I know how you feel, the ever hopeful Cub Fan in me thinks Wood and Prior will make it back and be effective. But, the realist in me thinks it never happen, good things like that only happen to Cardinals, etc. not the Cubs.
  11. gflore34
    Beyond the Astros, who might add Clemens in May, is there any other team in Baseball that's going to potentially, add the likes of a Wood and Prior to their rotation? Its almost like a block-buster mid-season trade but, in May rather than July. I know its a Pipe Dream to think that Prior and Wood will join the rotation and actually sick around for more than one cycle but, the potential or hope is there...

    Is it safe to assume that Rusch is pitching like a man hearing foot steps (Guzman, Hill, Ryu)?
  13. gflore34
    Think I'll enjoy a little Knob Creek in salute to the Cub win!!!!
  14. gflore34
    Ha, ha an E5!!!!!!
  15. gflore34
    I know it hit a wire but, he makes every other freaking play!!!
  16. gflore34
    What's this! Joe Brooks Robinson Randa didn't make the play?
  17. gflore34
    I'm tired of mediocre players like Randa pulling plays out their ass vs. the Cubs.
  18. gflore34
    How about one of Cubs taking someone deep for a change?
  19. gflore34
    I know it was asked earlier but, does Wuertz have any options left? If so, he needs to go, if not cut him.
  20. gflore34
    Its no secret why Wuertz is for the most part ineffective he can't throw strikes on a consistent basis, how many time does he start a batter off 2-1 or 2-0?
  21. gflore34
    If Zambrano can hold them down from this point on, it'll be OK, the Cubs are to going get to this clown (Milton)...
  22. gflore34
    Here's to hoping the Cubs show some patience and let Milton walk himself into trouble...
  23. gflore34
    Am I the only one who believes Dunn is way too comfortable facing the Cubs? Why not a few brush back pitches or a little chin-music during his next AB?
  24. gflore34
    Especially since he'll be starting for Rusch next game. Williams is joining the rotation in the 5th spot on April 15th. We're still stuck with Rusch, who's scheduled to go again on the 16th. What do you think the odds are that Guzman gets the call up to pitch for Rusch? Don't go and get my hopes up. If Rusch has another terrible outing and Guzman continues going well (I believe he went 5 scoreless, with 5K in his first outing) I believe it'll be impossible not to replace Rusch with Guzman. I don't know remember Estes in 2003? Baker to learn from mistakes? Ok, impossible, we're stuck with an automatic L in the rotation.
