  1. IMHO, Petite is more washed up than Maddux!
  2. is anyone here???? lol Most of the fans still following the Cubs don't read books!
  3. Since Walker drove in the only run in the 1-0 win against Oswalt, it makes no sense that he is not starting tonight. Even if Nefi has a good game, I would still start Walker. They should trade him or DFA if they aren't going to use him!
  4. It would seem like either of those records would be enough to get the manager fired, but who knows what Jim Hendry's idea of a lost season is? Apparently he wants Baker back for next season and is hoping the Cubs will make some kind of run to justify extending his contract. He really thought he got someone special when he landed Baker, and he doesn't want to back down now because it would be admitting he made a mistake hiring him in the first place. But if the team continues to stink it up, he will have no choice but to let him go or keep facing all the ridicule.
  5. I think Marmol needs to get more seasoning in the minors. For a promising pitcher just out of A ball, he has been asked to produce too quickly at the ML level. I hope he still has some confidence left, but I think Baker has squeezed this rookie to the max with high pitch counts and a losing record like he has done with so many others!
  6. Why didn't Pierre try to steal? This team really has mailed it in!
  7. Is Willis that good, or is Lima that bad? Lima could be worse than Rusch if that is possible!
  8. If only the fans going to Wrigley Field felt the same way, you would see some changes made right now. When the Trib sees it don't matter how the team does, the place is still sold out, those in power don't care either.
  9. Thank you, you are doing a very nice job!
  10. A team is a reflection or mirror image of the manager or coach. That is why the good ones will take respondsiblity!
  11. If I were managing, I would pinch hit for Marshall so he could get a win or no decision. He has pitched very well in a stressful game. That would give him confidence and also it would show confidence in the bull pen.
  12. This could be a real pitching duel tonight. Neither pitcher has thrown a lot of pitches! Whoever scores one or two runs could be big!
  13. I think that pretty much says Baker is not being fired next week.
  14. Clemens may not win a game this season. He needs to go back to the minors and work on his hitting!
  15. Twice the runner has walked in front of Ausmus and twice he has swung at the first pitch. That isn't very fundamentally sound for a catcher to be doing!
  16. The two runs just matched the total runs they got for three games with Clemens pitching. Maybe they do better if Garner isn't managing from the dugout? :shock:
  17. The Good News is that the Astros never score any runs for Clemens. The Bad News is that the Cubs don't score much for Marmol. After the run explosion Sunday, it will be Final Score 1-0!
  18. Where so you live? I need a new TV. Is it a portable?
  19. The article said he going to be a DH and he is also going to pitch. He throws a knuckle ball and I think if he has any success pitching, some ML team will give him a try. I would love to see him pitch to Bonds! :lol:
  20. Thru 5 innings both pitchers have thrown 70 pitches. Bush with 5 hits and 1 run, Marmol wth 1 hit and no runs. This is a real pitchers duel so far.l
  21. It looks like Fred took a leave of absence till the Cub become contenders again. I honestly don't blame him as the team is listless.
  22. Well you can't blame Baker for doing his part by putting out his "forfeit" Lineups everday!
  23. Dusty is not the only dunce managing as the Milwaukee manager is no bargain either. He should have pulled the rookie pitcher when he had a chance to win the game with his high pitch count. Just like last night he left in Capauano with a six run lead in the nineth and he got hit on the hand. I don't care for that kind of managing at all!
