  1. *bites fingernails* The pressure is killing me!
  2. WARNING: Harsh language not suitable for younger viewers. Please consult physican before clicking. http://www.progressiveboink.com/dugout/archive/dugout4-22-06.htm I thought this was pretty funny, especially given their hot start.
  3. The last seven games have seen him go with only 2 hits, 7 Ks and 2 BBs. In the seven games before that he had 10 hits, 4 Ks, and 2 BBs. I realize it's a small sample size, but that's a pretty dramatic swing. And mind you, Clines and Sarges advice was given a couple of days ago, not seven games ago. Just hoping that Murton can recapture that swing... :?
  4. So? Aramis Ramirez has been awful so far. And I don't anyone expects him to continue at this pace. It's only a question of when he turns it up, not if. I would argue the same for Pierre.
  5. Aww crap. As excited I am to see either of those two pitch, that's one more option we're wasting...
  6. Wow. I thought for sure he was AAAA material.
  7. While the approximate value is true' date=' Jones was not bought by currency but rather bartered for a few Atari 2600 cartriges marked "as is". "Jacque is a terrific guy, and we'll wish him all the best in the future," said Cubs GM Jim Hendry of the deal. "However when weighing his contributions to our ballclub, we felt that even the possibility of playing such classic titles as Centipede or Missile Command would in the long term prove to be a tremendous asset to the team." Many fans may be surprised to learn that this is not the first time Hendry, a self-described "old-school" gamer, has dealt players for video games. To complete the December trade that sent Jermaine Van Buren to the Red Sox, the Cubs acquired from Boston a Power Pad accessory for the NES. That trade proved to be a bust when Jerry Hairston, thinking it would improve his performance at Super Team Games, wore his cleats on the Power Pad, effectively ruining it. "Sock feet only! It says so right there on the pad! I mean, come on!" responded a visibly-shaken Juan Pierre.[/quote'] That's some funny stuff. You should write for The Onion.
  8. This is fantastic news!!! :D :D Great job by all the admins involved!!
  9. Did they cheer louder before Mabry came up or after he GIDP? Also, Cedeno is red hot today. And I'm glad Pierre starting to really warm up.
  10. So this is what the Cards would look like if Pujols was down?
  11. Add Modest Mouse, U2 to the good music...
  12. Didn't Novoa just pitch 2+ innings yesterday?
  13. WGN has made some really good music choices today! Reel Big Fish, Beatles, everything classic.
  14. Somoen on the Cubs needs to ask for the ball. :lol:
  15. Len: Murton not looking as locked in as he did earlier this year, he usually tracks the ball all the way into the bat. Gee I wonder if Sarge and Clines telling Murton to "be more aggressive" has anything to do with it.
  16. This is the direct quote from the Tribune:
  17. I'm quoting the Herald directly. Thanks for the additional line, it really clarifies things.
  18. Okay, that makes a bit more sense. There's got to be a better way of phrasing it though.
  19. From the previous article (http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/cubs.asp?id=180859) Way to go Mr. Miles! I was hoping someone would call Baker on that....
  20. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/cubs.asp Some exerpts: Gotta love the biting truth by Mr. Miles. And this quote by Jacque Jones has my head spinning: :shock: :shock: :shock:
  21. *doom* *gloom*
