    As I've stated previously, give me Latroy's salary and you can come boo me as often as you like at my job. You know, if I could I would. I dont think anyone here could take the sustained jeers, racial slurs, threats, etc that LaTroy recieved here, and still is apparently. Racial slurs? I don't remember hearing anything about racial slurs or threats.

    Ditto. When a man making a few million cannot perform his job at a satisfactory level and I am one of millions paying his salary by buying tickets, jerseys, etc., I have every right in the world to show my displeasure in him. Do you boo if you go to a broadway show and are displeased? The whole idea of booing is selfish and dumb. Does anyone think that LaTroy thought "Hey, we lost, but I wasn't bad. Oh wait, the fans are booing, I must've done something wrong." Players know when they screw up, they don't need tens of thousands of their own fans reminding him. Although the booing did help the Cubs run him out of town and get 2 pretty good prospects in return, so it did serve it's purpose. I personally have a hard time booing a player on a team I root for, cuz if he does good, I feel like a total hypocrite if I then cheer that player when he succeeds. So I have never booed a player. I take that back. I did boo Todd Hundley, but then again who didn't. However, I also don't have a problem with people who do boo, cuz they did pay for their ticket and they do live in a relatively free society.

    He's one streaky hitter, no doubt about that.

    Oh yeah I feel sorry for a grown man who plays Baseball for a living and gets paid Millions doing so. Besides I think most of those boos and chants were to get into Hawkin's head, knowing how fragile his psyche is on the mound. I thought it was very knowledgeable on the Cub fans behalf.

    There's nothing to re-cap. Just spewed the typical jock rhetoric. Which from Todd was nice to see :D Did say a couple times that DLee's Avg. was at .380 and that some people are talking about tonight's game being rained out and playing 2 tomorrow. NO!!!! I've been waiting all day :cry: I know, Me 2. On the bright side, the Cubs could use a day off but on the negative side, the Giants did use everyone in their pen last night and tomorrow is Wednesday (national baseball black out) and since I missed Gregg's 300th last year due to MLB blackouts, I could see Greg pitching game 2 and I would probably miss that as well (*,). I hate you bud Selig :evil:

    Lets hope that his groin doesn't "fall back off" either...(knocking on wood...then realizes Wood is on the DL AGAIN and keeps fingers crossed instead) :lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks for clearing that up. I couldn't figure out what that meant and thought that I might be falling behind in my Baseball jargon. I suspect he probably won't be playing too much at SS with Peoria? I'm 99.9% sure that he'll be playing SS tonight. Check out this snippet from the suntimes: http://www.suntimes.com/output/cubs/cst-spt-csep26.html He's been playing short already in Mesa. Thanks for the link. That's an encouraging quote isn't it. Doesn't sound he was conscious of the fact he had his groin torn from his bone :-& and it would appear that he will play SS from that info. Not that it probably would make a difference or not, but were those games in Mesa in consecutive days? I could perhaps see him playing SS 1 night then possibly DH'ing the next night.

    I could be wrong, but I believe he Pitched Saturday and threw on the side Sunday, Which I think would put him in line to pitch most likely tonight.
  11. 2242005CY
    I personally haven't heard anything specific but I think it's safe to say that he should pitch tonight.
  12. 2242005CY
    It's BOTH his swing and his approach. I've always said that he had 1 one of the longest and 1 the loopiest (yeah it's a word) swings I've ever seen. counter that with a hitter who tries to pull everything and it's diasaster, I mean Corey Patterson. He has to make quite a few adjustments, including his approach at the plate. It is unrealistic to think that he can fix his swing in such a short time and I think the CUbs know this. When they made that decision to send him down, they did so realizing that he won't be back this year, or atleast til Sept.

    Macias is the only utlity man and emergancy catcher. He can't go. You're kidding, right?
  15. 2242005CY
    I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but me personally, I didn't care Lee hit a HR cuz the Cubs lost and lost a game in the WC. Then you throw in the fact that Wood seemingly is hurt again, and no, I personally could care less that Lee hit a HR, since the Cubs lost.

    Kerry Wood of 2003 was a very good pitcher. 2004 when healthy:very inconsistant. Never knew what you were going to get from start to start. 2005 Kerry Wood: Can't remember him being healthy that much. But I do know he has a 4.67 ERA, so he couldn't have been that good when he was healthy either. Yes his last 3 starts were good. But do you see a pattern here yet? Shoulder Tightness ring a bell? Read this story before? I obviously hope he is alright and this was just precautionary and no big deal. We'll soon find out.
  17. 2242005CY
    Yes. Very much so. When's Kerry pitching again?? Oh that's right, nobody knows. When will Kerry complain of "shoulder tightness" and have to be taken out of a game for god knows how long, again? Not sure but 1 thing is for sure, it'll happen again. When will the Cubs be able to depend on him again?? Never. How much does Kerry Wood make?? How much does Harang Make?? How many Innings has Harang pitched compared to Wood? Atleast Harang takes the ball every 5th day and that is alot more than I can say for Kerry Wood. I'm tired of Kerry Wood and everyone who thinks he's so good cuz he struck out 20 hitters on a different arm. He's never going to be healthy and for his salary, that is a joke.

    Never thought I'd utter those words myself, but alas, it's true. Kerry NEVER has had "shoulder tightness" before. He's still throwing ACROSS his body, so this will be a routine thing for him. His arm can't handle it anymore. Period. Harang is atleast healthy and ALOT cheaper. I'd trade Kerry Wood for Harang straight up. Not sure if you've noticed, but Harang has 109 K's with 35 BB's and 116 IP....You still think I'm overreacting??
  20. 2242005CY
    I'd trade Kerry Wood for Harang straight up.

    Van Buren needs to be called up and replace Mitre. Then Mitre can start a couple games and maybe in the process increase his trade value. Van Buren has pitched well enough to warrant a chance.
  22. 2242005CY
    I haven't heard any updates on Nomar. Possibly could start in AA for a couple games and then move up to AAA. Should get going soon here though.
  23. 2242005CY
    My EVERYDAY line up: Hairston Walker lee Burnitz Ramirez Barrett Murton Cedeno I like Cedeno hitting 8th with his patience.

    I don't want to be mean, but she definantely is not hot. I guess you were referring to her Water balloons. She actually looks like a product of something from Conan O'brien where he takes 2 celebrities and puts them together to try and predict what their children will look like.
