  1. It's funny to read "middle of the order" with Izturis up.
  2. Who wants to bet the Cubs run out of position players again tonight?
  3. a baseball clubhouse is not really comparable to an office-setting. drinking in the clubhouse is not the problem, it's alcoholism in general. they might as well just ban drinking in general for all the good this will accomplish. I once interviewed for and was offered an office job in the city where the president of the company told me they had beer in the refrigerator and were fine with people having a couple beers toward the end of the day. Anyway, I don't care one way or another about alcohol in the clubhouse, but I agree that this is a typical reactionary move that doesn't solve anything.
  4. Izturis is tied for the lead among NL shortstops with 5 Errors and has the lowest SS fielding percentage in the majors. We already know that he can't hit. Why the hell is he in the lineup after an off day? Because Izturcrap is Hendry's pet. Sure would be nice to have Maddux as a #5 starter right now.

  6. Go play in the street or something. He's allowed to have an opinion, no matter how baseless it may be.. Baseless? I don't need court documents to know that Sammy's physical development required something more than a normal workout routine. I think you'll also see a transformation in his body from 2005 to 2007. Strange how a seemingly washed-up player goes away for a year and comes back bigger and hitting home runs again. Hmmm, I wonder... But don't ask Sammy about it, he can only speak English when he's praising himself. Yea, because anyone would be stupid enough to make a roid-induced comeback when millions of people are already questioning him about his past because he thrived in the steroid era. Sosa is totally that dumb. There is no test for HGH, so what does he have to lose? He's not the only one, but it's naive to think that a significant number of major league players aren't still using performance-enhancing drugs.

  8. Yay for HGH! :roll: Sammy is a fraud and always will be.
  9. Hitting isn't their problem, they just don't weigh enough.
  10. Here we go again. Maybe he can pad those stats in August and September when the games don't mean anything...
  11. Rosenbloom is a moron. I can't believe that guy has a radio show. Salisbury has started to grow on me, but Rosenboom makes some of the dumbest, most ridiculous comments I've ever heard.
  12. I don't consider sucking at baseball to be a "non-baseball reason." Sammy was washed up 2 years ago and he won't be any better now.
  13. Pie hit .283 with a .341 OBP in Iowa last season.
  14. I believe it was Dan Bernstein who mentioned this a few months back, but George W. Bush could be a decent commisioner when his presidential term is over. Not that it would ever happen, but it would be interesting nonetheless!
  15. I don't see that as such a bad 6-8. Murton is average to slightly above average as a 6 hitter, Derosa would be about an average number 7, and Izturis is a slightly below average #8. All things considered, it's just an average bottom of the order... not going to blow anyone away but not going to kill you either.
  16. How long have you been on the list? Since 2003. How does a person get on the waiting list? There is a link on Cubs.com, someone i Know recently used ut, he was 20,000 or so. Thanks, I'm 21676 on the waiting list. Maybe I'll be able to afford the tickets by the time I get to the front of the line in 20 years!

  18. I hope Sammy comes back... and makes a fool out of himself again. I'm surprised to see so much Sammy love on here.
  19. Bruce Levine is reporting on ESPN 1000 that Aramis Ramirez has opted out of his contract and filed for free agency. No further details at this time, but I'd say he's as good as gone...
  20. Is that really a promotion? Personally I think I'd rather manage a AAA team than be the 3rd base coach of a major league team.
  21. He has? Nobody forced him to make the countless boneheaded decisions/lineups he came up with time and time again. No, but he wasn't doing that on purpose. The best job that he could do wasn't very good, in fact it was absolutely terrible managing, but he was doing what he thought was best to win games.
  22. I have been extremely critical of Dusty for at least 3 years now and I can't wait for him to be gone and I might throw a party on Monday... BUT I don't like that the fans are booing him today. We have had plenty of time to express our opinions throughout the years, but he has done the best job he could for 4 years and I would like to see Cubs fans at least show him a little respect on the way out.
  23. It's been fun today, knowing that the end of Dusty comes soon. Or maybe not. I can see the "this team hasn't quit" logic after today's game!
