  1. Milton Bradley with a chance to be the hero... and if he comes through, I have little doubt he will do something stupid to alienate himself from the fans.
  2. It's just a hard luck turn of events for us. It happens. So was Bradley losing the ball in the sun (which can happen to any outfielder) but a bunch of people saw fit to complain about that and tell Bradley to go eff himself. Sure it can happen to any outfielder, but it happens to Bradley more than it should. He should know how to deal with the sun by now.
  3. If we're lucky, he'll tell Lou he wants to lead off again tomorrow.
  4. A standing ovation for Sam Fuld, this is just too funny.
  5. Bradley sure better hope this game ends before he gets another at bat.
  6. Please tell me Marshall is up in the pen just in case.
  7. Man Bob Eucker looks old. I hope he sticks around for awhile though, I still love listening to him.
  8. No, but we've all seen Lou overreact in similar situations before.
  9. You know it does. Rookies can't make errors.
  10. What I don't understand is when I saw him in Spring Trainng, he was killing the ball from both sides of the plate. What happened to that power?
  11. Sam Fuld is not the answer, but why the hell is Soriano right back in the leadoff spot? After the past 2 games, you would think Lou would see the importance of having a leadoff man that gets on base and forces the pitcher to throw a lot of pitches. Sure it also helps to have guys hitting homeruns behind the leadoff hitter, but none of that matters as much if there is nobody on base.
  12. Yet somehow it feels as if he never left.
  13. Lee has got to be it at this point. I would say it is between Lee and Theriot, with Lee being only slightly more deserving
  14. I mentioned that a few games ago. He is by far the best leadoff candidate in the Cubs lineup.
  15. So that is what happens when the leadoff man gets on!
  16. Likely managerial candidates: Alan Trammel Bob Brenly Larry Rothschild Ryne Sandberg Steve Stone? Davey Johnson? Willie Randolph I'm sure there are some young candidates I'm not thinking of, but this would be the primary group, I suspect. Jody Davis. Even though he is my namesake, I've never really seen Davis as a major league managerial candidate. I'm not sure what his relationship is with Sandberg, but I could picture him as a base coach under Ryne.
  17. Time to fire the hitting coa... oh wait.
  18. Obviously nobody would claim Fukudome on waivers, so the Cubs could send him down if they wanted to, but I really don't think Sam Fuld is a better option.
  19. The Pirates only managed 4 runs in 2 games against the Ass Cubs. I'd hate to be THOSE guys. :wave: Honestly, this is the one time where I think it's okay for a fan of another team to come and talk crap. You guys suck ass and have for years, but at least you know you're going to suck. We have $140 million payroll and are absolutely horrid. In some ways, I envy teams like the Pirates being able to trade their veteran players and rebuild through the minor league system. Of course, when it is a neverending cycle of trading players and starting over, that's no fun either.
  20. In all fairness, the Cubs did have to face Ohlendorf. They never stood a chance.
