    No way man. Rusch is a stud.

    Wow. I'm kinda surprised we haven't done that yet.

    Holy @#$#! I seriously yelled out loud when I saw that. This video is NOT for the faint of heart. Oh my god. That is the worst accident I have ever seen. I can't even watch it.

    Hawk Harrelson was caught too! :lol:

    Well with the playoffs gone, our only sense of completion can come from beating the hated Redbirds. Kinda like the Bears and the Packers.

    Yep. Those were so abysmal.....my poor cubs hat took so much abuse that week. You could literally see it falling out of their hands. At least they never had the wild card lead here. EDIT: Treebeard: You will. And I will. Like abused spouses we'll always come back when the Cubs start promising the world. :(

    Well at least we'll know when they've officially thrown in the towel. Should we start an over/under on when he gets shut down?

    No need to use hyperbole to try to prove your point. I never suggested Hendry should shield him in the minors, just echoed a concern about his ability to adjust to MLB pitching if promoted too soon. The Cubs already did that once, it'd be a shame to do it again, imo. My guess is they won't be able to get him down there again. So they'll either have to deal with him if he's not ready or trade him. And right now, I'm guessing Hendry has practically thrown in the towel. CPatt isn't working for a September call-up to save the team, he's working on increasing his trade value.

    Just bat him 7th, which isn't too important of a spot in the order. It sounds like Zambrano was really p'd off tonight at the d. He has every right to be. With the offense as well. He pitched 8 shutout innnings last outing to the tune of 0 run support. Which has been his thing all year. He should have at least double digit wins by now. I fear for our FA pitching situation if this offense or defense doesn't improve.

    He's already gotten away with much more than Stoney ever could just today. "Worst baseball playing I have EVER seen in all my years...." or something to that regard.

    You know, I really love seeing this thread active. Always good news. Can we cash in this season now? Z is hurt, all we have left is Prior for reliability.

    Any voters for Spier?

    Hahaha. I checked it out.... Here is the real reason the cubs aren't winning:

    Well lets see. The Braves have had massive injury problems. Ooops. They're first in their division. Same with the Cards. Cedeno is dead from riding the pine I think.

    I doubt it. He was talking about mush.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I attend U of I, and the Chief is huge profits. Especially since he came under attack strangely enough. People are practically running out to the store to buy stuff with his face on it so they can parade around campus in it. "That's showing those offended Indians!" In my mind its remarkably similar to Germans naming a team the Auschwitz Jews. It's a tribute. They died there. EDIT: And yeah it's really stupid that the NCAA is only during tournaments. Wusses.

    Ads? :?:
  21. Balsa
    Not selling out, but I need a team to 'adopt' in the AL anyway. I'd root Cubs against A's any day.
  22. Balsa
    And another four year contract? I'm not saying that Dusty should stay, but sometimes one in the hand is worth two in the bush eh?
  23. Balsa
    Chris Carpenter Matt Morris Mark Mulder But it's not just the pitching, its the defense and effort. We're not a playoff team because we can't play fundamental baseball.
  24. Balsa
    Even if we got the playoffs, if blessed by some magical run fairy, we would be horribly outclassed by the other teams.
  25. Balsa
    You know what? You're right. You would know better than professional sports trainers with years of experience and firsthand knowledge of Nomar's swing and step.
