    i prefer to have a respectable ballclub out on the field than the total suckage we've been seeing for the last 11 going on 12 games (or the last 9 weeks, depending on your point of view), but out of curiosity, who would you have signed and/or traded during the offseason to make this team better? i don't like the white flag lineup that's out there today as much as the next person, but outside of pujols/cj wilson/darvish/fielder, what were the better options in the free agent and trade market that would have taken the place of darwin barney, jeff baker, joe mather and the like?

    Agreed. But what's funny is that just about 10 days ago, they were really actually very enjoyable to watch. There will be another stretch like that again this season. Hopefully, it will be by the time you get to watch them. that's what i'm hoping. they had my hopes up before the last game of the cardinals series a few weeks back, but then they proceed to take a never-ending [expletive] for the next two weeks. perhaps i'll be lucky enough to see rizzo in the lineup during that time.

    i'm still going to check them out when they come to citi field in early july, but my god is this team tough to watch. :banghead:

    at first glance, it looks like #27, but the "2" looks like the letter N. the last name seems to start with a P, i was thinking angel pagan, but he wore #29.

    i was either 4 or 5. cubs faced the cardinals at wrigley during the summer and we left early because either ozzie smith was kicking our [expletive] and it was overcast and about to rain...thinking '87 or '88 here. 2nd game was in '92 vs. the dodgers. crowd kept yelling DARRYL DARRYL every time strawberry was up at bat. i remember leaving school early that day (like 11am or something) to go to the game. i don't remember who won.

    It is a Wednesday afternoon in April. And not a particularly warm one. Did anyone catch the official attendance? Last year, Wednesday day games in April drew 32k and 36k pat hughes said it was close to 34K.

    nah. http://images.wikia.com/muppet/images/4/44/Rizzo1.jpg Lol, this. Showing my age, but I think of Rizzo from MASH. frank rizzo from the jerky boys pops into my head... http://www.fizzkicks.com/static/usermedia/band/128/images/1192113680.jpg

    if it's early 1984 like jersey said, the runner could be mel hall. EDIT: it's durham.

    EXPOS YES What was that old expos logo supposed to be, anyway? an M, E and B. the white curve next to the veritical blue line are supposed to make an "M" for montreal, while the red "E" and blue "B" stand for expos and baseball, respectively.

    do people really have issue with sandberg not diving for baseballs during his playing career? i'm not calling you out specifically, but this isn't the first time i've heard those types of comments from people here. That was a widespread view of him back in his playing days and in the discussions of his error-less streak and comparisons with other great middle infielders. i remember hearing about it on talk radio growing up as a kid, but never thought much of it. i guess it was more of a deal than i originally imagined.

    and, for the record, he seemed pretty cool with theo calling him and telling him he wasn't in the running and also gave a positive remark about the new cubs brain trust.

    there's a herman cain joke in there somewhere...

    has sandberg given any dialogue of his thoughts on walks? someone quoted his hit-and-run ideas above and i haven't read through the yahoo! sports archives (nor do i want to). he walked a decent amount during his all-star years ('84 to '93) and averaged a .357 OBP and totaled over 100 runs scored 6 times during that period. it would be a head-scratcher to hear that he didn't value that part of the game when it seemed to be a rather large part of his.

    if this score holds, corey patterson and ryan theriot will have world series rings.

    i vaguely remember something like that in his biography, but i thought he was talking about larry himes and his cronies and not front office people leaning on sabrmetric analysis.

    i was the original uploader of that video a long time ago. i'll do a search on my externals this weekend and upload it somewhere to view again. i was at that game and, after that play, it was the loudest i've ever heard wrigley...and that includes playoff games.
