    Please stop with the gay references.

    While I'm not completely opposed to Nevin, I'm not a big fan of bringing in someone who can only play 1b. Nevin is horrible anywhere else defensively. What good is a guy who can only pinch hit once the regular is back to play everyday?

    I don't think anyone should get their half-shirt in a wad over tongue-in-cheek comments about Edmonds. But they should be uptight over something that Steinbrenner says about his employee? Please view your PM's.

    Enough already.

    Personally, I could care less how well he bowls. :D
  6. BigbadB
    LOL. :D

    Oh, he got more than plenty of credit in '03. Remember all the "In Dusty we Trusty" signs?

    Let's not be calling out other posters, please.

    Why should the Trib throw more money onto a sinking ship? Each time they bump the budget more, they suck more. The Yankees budget has ballooned ridiculously, and how many World Series victories has that brought them? Honestly, this is not the Tribune's fault. Unless you want to blame them for not cleaning house when they should have. Hendry's recent extension is an absolute joke.
  10. BigbadB
    I agree. And I didn't mean to exclude Hendry and MacPhail. They need to go to. The Tribune opened the coffers more and more each year with this group, and what has it done? Some of the worst baseball in the history of the game. Fact: You can play this bad for a lot cheaper, which has to be running through the minds of Tribune execs. And I would also like to put this up for vote: Players receive their fat contracts after they earn it instead of before they earn it. This getting paid to not hustle, overthrow cutoff men, get picked off base, etc... is for the birds.

    I'd rather have the unknown. With Dusty, you know they won't win. With the unknown, there is a 50/50 chance. The whole coaching staff has to go in my opinion, except Speier. Speier goes too if he doesn't want the interim coaching job.

    I'd be fine with baby steps. Let's start with hiring someone who understands the value of a walk. How did the Cubs lose the first game against the Padres in this last series? They walked the lead off guy. Doh! The current regime doesn't stress the importance of plate patience and waiting on a hitter's pitch. They preach aggressiveness. They scold players who don't show enough aggressiveness. They sign players who are aggressive. Considering their philosophy, it really makes no sense that they got rid of Patterson. He's aggressive at the plate, he can catch the ball and he's fast. Sounds like a perfect match. Matt Murton is one of the few guys who had good plate patience. But, it sounds like Dusty is unhappy with his patience. All of a sudden, he's swinging at more pitches early in the count. The kid was hitting well over .300 at the time. Why would you mess with that?

    Just looked it up. It was August 2nd, 2001. Jason Bere went 7 innings and struck out 12. Cubs were winning 3-0 in the 9th when Klesko hit a grand slam walk off HR.
  14. BigbadB
    I wanna say the pitcher that started that game was Jason Bere, and he had like 14 K's when they took him out.
  15. BigbadB
    I was at that game. Right field foul line. I got a crick in my neck watching that shot. And it wasn't just getting a guy on. It was a grand slam.
  16. BigbadB
    So if you factor in players lost to injuries, the Cubs are still worse? The key word was "currently". When the injured players come back, the Cubs will most likely NOT be the worst team in baseball.
  17. BigbadB
    Cool. A thread where we bash the only team in baseball worse than the Cubs. What's KC's payroll? What's the Cubs payroll? I'll go ahead and be the bad guy and say the Cubs are currently the worst team in baseball when you factor EVERYTHING into the equation.
  18. BigbadB
    Worse than the Pirates.
  19. BigbadB
    He's been staying ahead in the count, and then there are those times that the Cubs hitters will go ahead and make an out on the first pitch. Not a bad outing. But, I could probably go out there and have a good outing against this group.
  20. BigbadB
    True.
  21. BigbadB
    Are you forgetting about Eyre the other day? LOL. Eyre totally blew that play.
  22. BigbadB
    Worser.
  23. BigbadB
    Nice! There ya go, Jer. Blame it on the bat. :roll:
  24. BigbadB
    I don't know if my heart can handle more scoring in the same day.
  25. BigbadB
    Wow, I felt the Earth rumble clear out here in East San Diego. C. Young is a big boy.
