  1. Well, the Cardinal bullpen is weak, three or more runs off it is not impossible...
  2. If Ramirez could hit at all, this wouldn't be such a tense moment...
  3. 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.
  4. 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...
  5. 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.
  6. 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...
  7. Is it safe to assume that Rusch is pitching like a man hearing foot steps (Guzman, Hill, Ryu)?
  8. Think I'll enjoy a little Knob Creek in salute to the Cub win!!!!
  9. I know it hit a wire but, he makes every other freaking play!!!
  10. What's this! Joe Brooks Robinson Randa didn't make the play?
  11. I'm tired of mediocre players like Randa pulling plays out their ass vs. the Cubs.
  12. How about one of Cubs taking someone deep for a change?
  13. I know it was asked earlier but, does Wuertz have any options left? If so, he needs to go, if not cut him.
  14. 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?
  15. If Zambrano can hold them down from this point on, it'll be OK, the Cubs are to going get to this clown (Milton)...
  16. Here's to hoping the Cubs show some patience and let Milton walk himself into trouble...
  17. 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?
  18. 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.

  20. Very well put, and a great perspective on what we hav e seen so far. I agree, let the Reds tee off on Rusch, Maddux vs. Claussen and Zambrano vs. Milton the next two, Cubs should have a pretty good chance to win the Series.
  21. Next at bat, Dunn needs to hit the dirt, what's he going do? Get upset and hit a HR?
  22. Unfortunately, Jim Bowden is no longer in Cincy. Arroyo' nothing special either, better than Rusch but, still an average starter at best.
  23. Granted Rusch is terrible however, I'd like to see a few inside pitches or brush backs, these Reds hitters are far too comfortable at the plate.
  24. BBTN can go on and on about the Card's trio of Pujols, Rolen and Edmonds but, the key to their success the past two seasons has been the bullpen. I don't think the retread trick is going to work this year with Flores, Rincon and Looper, its early, they'll probably improve but, its not going to be at the level of the last two seasons.
