    i'll be at the game tonight (section 523). here's hoping that big z can have a solid outing and the cubs can actually score some runs. last night was god-awful. what was the attendance last night?

    you mean like when Derrek Lee put up similar ridiculous numbers in 05? that was 5 years ago..i'm talking about now (and more specifically, that sexy OBP).

    this sentence, i think, is the most interesting: "[McGwire's] own manager never knew that [Jose] Canseco and McGwire and anybody else ever had taken steroids? Trust me, from [a former player], I have a lot of insight into who did what and when but I'm not even going to talk about it. It really doesn't matter." you're not going to talk about other steroid users, but you feel ok mouthing off about mcgwire? if steroid users like big mac make him throw up, why didn't he say anything during his playing days about other players taking steroids? aside: jack clark's 1987 season is beyond ridiculous. i'd pray to multiple gods to have a cub put up those types of numbers.

    143/180. couldn't spell rickey gutierrez or hee seop choi's name correctly and had matt stairs' mug in my head, but couldn't remember his name. early 90's teams were easy since i remember rooting for most of those bums every day after school. worse one? forgetting who started at 2nd in '07 and '08... :oops:

    good to see him be (for the most part) healthy and finally get a major league win. here's to him being healthier next season and being a top set-up man in our bullpen.

    they are in new york this weekend and i thought about going, but then i thought otherwise. wow, this season has been a dud. i did my cub fan duty and saw them twice in dc in july, so i'm not too bummed about it.

    It was Larry Himes. Sandberg hated him because of Sosa and the Cubs' new video room. He worships DG. yeah, sandberg has no love for larry himes as noted in his biography second to home. if my memory is correct (i haven't read the book in almost 5 years), he was pissed at himes for not re-signing dawson and letting maddux go to the braves. dallas green is the one who insisted that he be a part of the larry bowa trade, so sandberg has a lot of respect for green. sandberg is my all-time favorite baseball player, but his speech at the '05 HOF was just a "back in my day..." rant and him grinding his sammy sosa axe for 15 minutes. kinda disappointing to hear him rag like that on the biggest day of his professional baseball career (so far).

    weathers didn't like the way he was used/his role in the bullpen during his tenure with the cubs in 2001.

    i'm heading over to dc next weekend to catch the cubs and nationals on saturday evening. i'm looking to see if anyone knows of a good hotel that is near the park and cheap on $$$. we'll be staying one night, so nothing too fancy. i looked for a thread on this board that pertains to hotels, but could not find one. if this topic is in the wrong place, my apologies in advance.

    i was at the game last night. he slid for the ball and rolled his wrist, which looked nasty on the jumbotron when they showed the replay. everyone in the stadium made an UGH noise when they showed it. would've been a helluva catch if he held on. aside: citifield is really nice ballpark. reminds me of miller park without the roof.

    i would take blanco's ugly mug over bako any day of the week.
  12. cl smooth
    i'll always remember him tossing the baseball up and down while sitting in the dugout while never actually looking at the ball...just looking straight ahead. and he never dropped it.
  13. cl smooth
    i was at the game tonight (go cubs!) and, my god, a propped-up piece of plywood can play better defense than theriot. i love his OBP, but that glovework leaves something to be desired.

    living in new york, i get the brewers/reds feed?! wth?! can i even purchase this game on mlb.tv? do bars get national feeds for fox games that your local cable provider does not? i want to see this game! i have mlbradio which could suffice my cub fix, but i WANT TO WATCH IT! *shakes fist at FOX*

    game 1 of the nlcs is when i fly into chicago from nyc. it's also my birthday (big 26). i'll be running the chicago marathon that sunday, so hopefully my brother-in-law can hook me up with tickets for game 2.
  16. cl smooth
    what a play by molina.
  17. cl smooth
    soriano looks so lost at the plate.
  18. cl smooth
    i just noticed the prices for tickets this year. WOW! :shock: :cray: i remember getting box seats for 35-40 bucks just a few years ago.
  19. cl smooth
    so i don't think i'm going to have time to sit in front of a computer at work today to purchase tickets, so i'm setting up my home computer for it and having my girlfriend try her luck. i'll have about 50 windows open. i've given her detailed instructions on what the screen(s) look like (VWR window, purchase tickets window, etc.). i am praying that she doesn't mess this up for me. i'm aiming for may 31st against the rockies. wish me (and her) luck.

    That's just so pathetic. It's basically David Justice. Certainly worthy of election to the hall... :roll: Question....someone told me today that Andre Dawson said that he wouldn't wear a Cubs or Expos cap on his plaque if he were to ever make it...he'd wear a Red Sox one. Is that true? dawson has been quoted in the past stating that if he were to be elected to the hall of fame, his choice would be to go in as a cub.
  21. cl smooth
    yeah, i'm not the only one who can't stand players who have OBP's that hover around the .380-.400 mark.

    just because lee, ramirez and soriano forgot to show up during the playoffs, you want to TRADE them?! talk about knee-jerk reaction there. who do you have that will fill those voids? torii hunter? jim edmonds?
  23. cl smooth
    i'm not as depressed as i was in '03. the cubs have some good, young talent coming from the minors who will make an impact next year. soto, pie, hill, marmol...good guys to cheer for. the cubs really do need a GM who values the power of a walk and a hitter who can take pitches. it'll be interesting to see what happens at the GM position during the off-season. hendry was signed for one season, correct?

    How about the Mets last week? if i knew this week that the cubs were going to play like the mets did last week, i would've been happier if they didn't make the playoffs.

    i've never seem a team crap the bed like this one. the offense left their bats at home (excluding SOTO, of course). grounded into 4 double plays this evening...millions left of base...trillions of strikeouts. just absolutely pathetic on all counts. i've seen the cubs suck before, but i had no idea they would suck this much especially in the playoffs. i know this team had their faults coming into this series, but i'm just dumbfounded by all of this. no fight whatsoever.
