Shut up. Seriously?

Shut up. Seriously?

Who cares? Nothing wrong with showing some personality at the plate. Lee does sort of a half hop, Burnitz tends to stand there for a second during his follow through, ARam flips his bat. No big deal, at all. One time, at a bar, I was doing my A-Ram bat flip and my arm hit a tray of beers and martini's the waitress was taking to our table. They smashed all over the ground. I am a complete idiot. ha did the waitress get mad or understand. I was like, "Holy S! I'm so sorry!!!" And she looked at my a little bit like this: http://www.makethemaccountable.com/podvin/images/CharlesMansonsEyes.JPG She wanted me dead. She kept sayign to my date "Oh, geez you got soaked (She didn't really). I'm sorry." in an attempt to ruin my mojo. Luckly my girlfriend knows what a huge stud I am despite this abberation.

That's insane.

Wood tends to give up those solo shots.

I win!! Just kiddin... Really, I don't think he's the missing link to the Cubs world series hopes. I just don't understand why everyone is trying to paint him as a joke and not a good owner. It's just not true. He has made some good deals and his team has had good success during his ownership. Personally, I don't hold not winning it all against him. He doesn't have much expierence (He also didn't have Duncan or Shaq, though he made a play for Shaq last year) and he's only owned the team for 5 years. I suppose he's a more contraversial figure than I thought.

This is unwarrented critisicm. He has owned the team for 5 years and you are saying that in order for him to be considered a good owner he must have won a championship in that time? That's absurd. If you read my previous post, it's not a World Championship, but at least make it to the Western Conference Finals - they may have done that once. But my point is what could he do that the Trib hasn't done in the past five years? And I'm an NBA fan, and it's my opinion that the Cubs are closer to a World Championship right now than the Mavericks. I would disagree. The Cubs are going to have to get extremely lucky to even make the playoffs while the Mavericks consistantly get to the second round or further. I'm a basketball fan as well, and I think that a lot of this criticism of Cuban is based on his Reality show, his jumping on the floor, etc. You really can''t dispute his success as an owner. That being said, I really don't think he would be the missing link, I just think that he doesn't diserve to be trashed like he is being here. Over half the NBA makes the playoffs. 8 teams make the MLB playoffs. Not a fair comparison. And the Mavs don't get further than the 2nd round. They have never made the West finals. They don't even compare to the Spurs and Suns, and the same was true for the Lakers and TWolves in recent history. They are the Minnesota Twins or Oakland As of the NBA. Yeah, they make the playoffs, but they are a huge step behind the real contenders. I would agree if you weren't completely wrong.

You just want to keep going around in circles? You really think Cuban is the answer to Cubs fans prayers? This fascination with activist ownership is a complete joke. The Yankees of the 90's are the exception to the rule. George ran that team into the ground for 2 decades before his never ending spending finally started to pay off. Activist owners ruin franchises. Feel free to back that up (at least in terms of Cuban). Back it up? If you know anything about sports you don't need me to back up that statement. The list is endless. Ok, then don't. That statement doesn't apply to Cuban anyway.

Well, they have turned from the laughingstock of the league to perennial contenders.

Bruce Levine reminds me of Dracula for some reason.

I wouldn't be against this.

Go back to the minors, Lee!

I'm at work but I think Clooney does a lot of voice overs, so I wouldn;t be surprised.

Redman's gotta be gassed.

Ha! Thats what I was thinking!

Lets hope someone hits a HR so he doesn't have to run through people again. Nice work.

Mack has been a Cub killer in the past hasn't he?

Can you spin every event in the game to something negitive? Thanks in advance. I'm not spinning anything. Sure you are. It was a hit and you turned it into some ficticious negitive. JC - Point taken. Just trying to enjoy the game I can't watch from work. The excessive negitivity brings me down from time to time. Carry on.
