    He'll probably sign in StL, find the fountain of youth and have 3 consecutive career years. You've nailed it, beyond a doubt, he'd be fantastic for the Cardinals, everything the breath on, touch or remotely think about turns to Gold.

    Doesn't keeping Walker necessitate signing Furcal? With Walker at 2B and Ramirez at 3B, the Cubs will need a defensively strong SS such as Furcal.

    Someday the Cubs are going to win the WS, I hope ESPN is banned from from the Cubs locker and Post WS Press Conference that day.

    Rusch is so bad right now Patterson could draw a BB facing him.

    Pierre getting on base, Delgado hitting a SF - I can live with that but, why does also have to players like, Conine, the very definition of a baseball schmuck, that excell vs. the Cubs?
  6. gflore34
    The leadoff batter of a smart Baseball team would definitely try to push a bunt along 3B against the Cubs today.

    Get on the phone with Hendry or somehow get this plan to him, its logical, make sense, in a word smart. What a minute, I've seen the flaw, being that this is an intelligent plan it therefore, represents something the Cubs would not do.

    What of the Yankees? Along with overpaying for Jon Garland (1 great season + free agent year = bloated contract from the Yankees see Pavano, Carl), they're sure to dish out the megabucks for the star of the WS.

    The NL is wide open, if the Marlins get their act together they may be the NL's best. No offense to Cardinal fans but, a lineup consisting of the Taguchi', Nunez', Mabry' and John Rodigruez' of baseball just isn't going to cut in the Post Season. In the AL, I believe the Angels or Red Sox are the best teams, one of them will represent the AL. If the Marlins win the WC: Marlins and Angels If the Marlins don't win the WC: Braves? and Angels Note: For those who believed the Astros are going to win the WC hands down - Clemens, Petite, Oswalt and the rest of their starting staff have to, with their weak offense, pitch a shutout or a near shutout everytime out. This, like the WC, is not going to happen for Astros.

    "He still has talent and he still has aptitude,"... Did Hendry mean Patterson has a baseball aptitude or aptitude in general? Because someone with a Baseball aptitude would have gathered that a LHP with a breaking ball has yet throw him (Patterson) a strike this season. Or, its a good idea to take a pitch, most especially after the pitcher has just issued a BB to previous batter on 4-5 pitches.

    The words intelligence and Cubs Management represent a contradiction in terms.

    How long did Baker go with a 1-2 of Patterson and Perez? Nuff said...

    With the exception of Maddux' starts the oppostion M.O. has been to take pitches and its worked pretty well, why can't the Cubs learn from this? As simplistic and pathetic as it may be, taking pitches leads to more base runners which in turn leads to more runs. etc. Yesterday was a perfect example, the Braves were going to take and continue to take pitches vs Prior. Had Prior consistently thrown strikes he'd probably thrown a 2 or 3 hit shutout.

    Giles 2003 hr/ab - .039, 04-.021, 05-.018 along with a decreasing BA, interesting...NL pitchers making adjustments?

    Mr. K with the unfortunately all too predictable K...

    Mr. OBP (Lawton) with another great at bat, so far as a Cub he's drawn one BB and had one other 3-2 (that I can recall) count. What's up? Is he trying too hard or has already bought into the Baker philosophy of swing at everything and anything?
  17. gflore34
    I know Prior K'd three that inning but, is just me or has he lost alot of batters he was initially ahead of in the count 0-2 or 1-2? More so than 2003 annd 2004...
  18. gflore34
    "How can I do that, Dude? Dempster has saved us man!" I don't believe that would be a good move, Dempster' been so effective because he can let all fly for one inning. As a starter he'd have to pitch with the next at bat in mind and at a certain pace. Speaking of Wood, how fun was it watching him follow Maddux the other night? After seeing Maddux, Rusch or Williams for 7 innings, the opposition might as well concede three outs for Wood' inning. They've no chance...

    I believe Nomar should be re-sign as well, given what has happened the past two seasons, I also believe he'll take whatever deal the Cubs offer.
  20. gflore34
    With rare exception the Cubs starting pitching has been a joke, it would have to be to give up 6+ runs to one of the weakest lineups in the NL. Nine walks would make any lineup more potent, even one as weak as the Astros. Yet another pathetic display by these worthless 2005 Cubs.
  21. gflore34
    give me a break. :P Its just like everything else the Cardinals do or thouch, it turns to Gold.
  22. gflore34
    I'm certain the Cubs will end up losing but, one cannot help being optimistic about tonight's game. With the present Cardinal lineup there's the very real possibility Prior shut's them down perhaps, throws a two or three hitter. Of couse, they'll probably end up losing as we'll be forced to listen to Miller and Morgan babble all night about the Cardinal' being the NL' best team. By the way, if the current Cardinal lineup represents the NL' best team, the NL doesn' have a chance in the WS.

    I heard a comedian once describe Herman Munster as history' first gay monster.

    Beyond a doubt the luckiest team in the NL, they're also good. Why can't you guys just give us credit? We've been a great team for over a year and half now. This isn't a flukey ride of luck. I'll give the Cards credit. The luck excuse is pure crap. The Cards are probably the best team in baseball this year and were the second best last year. Last season, I thought they'd lose in the World Series, but I'm more concerned that they'll win it this year. Oh, I don't like the Cards at all, though. I'd root for the White Sox over them in the World Series. If they don't get Rolen, Walker and Sanders back, they're not going to the WS with their present lineup.

How many Nunez', Womack', Rodriguez' and the various bullpen re-treads going to keep coming up Golden? Don't get me wrong the Cards are good and deserve all the credit but, you've got to admit they've had an incredible amount of things go right.
