  1. I don't think people mind him as a 25th guy, but it's maddening how Dusty uses him. I think he's at least semi-valuable because he can play everywhere (although, not very well) but he needs to be used as the last man off the bench, not the first.
  2. huh. And only one BS out of the three, right? Yup. The other two were non-save situations.
  3. Wouldn't matter. Neifi replaced Ramirez in the 8th. I forgot about that. I wouldn't pitch to Lee or Burny with Neifi next!
  4. That is a very crowded company you are in :evil: I know, and it grows by the day. I don't want to hate Holly, but I can't like him while he's sucking it up like this.
  5. I loved Holla last year and I think he did a great job coming off the bench and getting the occasional start. This year, due to Dusty's horrible misuse, I like him less and less every AB.
  6. I haven't heard about him for awhile. Does anyone know how he's doing?
  7. I don't think you're getting blasted, I just think the Cubs fans on here could care less about the Sox/Sox fans, even if they seem very concerned about us.
  8. Someone forgetting about all of Mo Alou's GIDP to 3rd base? Felt like he made six for every HR he hit, at least. Ahh, my favorite, checked swing grounders!
  9. I was wondering that too. I hope he's okay...
  10. It's not a problem to speak your mind. But why always to the media? he's quoted more than Lee or Ramirez. I tend to think guys who always seem to be quoyed are self-promoters (see Grace and Schilling). I'm pretty sure the media goes to him and asks him questions, and he doesn't go up to them just to say what he feels. It's not Todd's fault that reporters chose to use his quotes. Maybe Lee and Ramirez get asked the same amount of questions, Todd just happens to have answers that are more quote-worthy. How boring would it be if all the players just said "Good game, we'll be back out there tomorrow." The boredom level in my life is not dependent upon quotes from ballplayers. I could care less if any of them were ever quoted. The game is on the field. The less talking the better. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I like hearing players say what they think rather than just giving some vanilla answer, but I guess that's just me.

  12. I think he just needs a day off. I don't understand why people get so upset that he speaks to the media. He speaks his mind, so what?
  13. I bet they'd rather get it in tonight then play a double header.
  14. The thing I posted from the website is just an example, I think, not the real numbers.
  15. According to http://www.cafepress.com/eamuscatuli, where they sell merchandise with that on it, it means....
  16. After watching Felipe Alou's Keystone Kops moves with his bullpen last night they shouldn't be laughing too much. Seriously. He had to be hoping the Cubs scored because if the game went too long into extras, he'd have been in trouble.
  17. Don't challenge Dusty's stupidity. He'll rise up and prove you wrong. Nomar isn't a rookie. If he's healthy, he'll play.
  18. A day off might do Todd Walker some good.
  19. Wood might need offseason surgery, according to cubs.com
  20. Well, I guess there weren't three horrible at-bats in a row. But how is the ball suddenly carrying just because Henry hit a homerun? They say it like it's an excuse. Come on guys, Henry can flat out rake!
