  1. I'll be darned, I thought Ty Wigginton disappeared. I'll vote Cuddyer and Alou as well.
  2. This question seems to be making the rounds of the Cubs blogosphere. It find it sad. Cheer for you team to win or go home. What if we're already at home? Look, I want the Cubs to win every game for the rest of my life, but it's not happening. The odds of them winning the majority of them look to be slim with the current regime. Mediocrity already brought Hendry an extension, and it is likely to bring Dusty one. The sensible fan in me knows the Cubs will not compete this season, therefore I want them to be better for next year and years beyond. If they win 75 games this year, the same cast of misfits and bad coaches are likely to be back next year for another run at 500. If they win 65, maybe Dusty isn't extended. Maybe Clines, Sarge, and Larry are sent packing. Maybe MacPhail wises up and fires Hendry. Players will be disposed of. I'd rather the season go in the toilet and have changes made to put us in a position to compete next year than to wallow in mediocrity and have the same bunch back next year for a repeat performance. That's not sad or absurd, it's wanting what's best for the team.
  3. I'll take offense every day. Paulie has the potential to create a lot more runs than he would allow in the OF. Unless he has a really bad day.
  4. Too bad they couldn't unload him when his value peaked last year.
  5. http://www.legacystation.com/Lionel05/31960lg.gif That makes about as much sense as the stupid one they have at the juice box. Man, I hate the Astros. Cubs win, 8-3.
  6. I can't follow the mlb.com forums. Nothing makes sense, and I'm not just referring to the posters.
  7. I was screaming "take it off" but not for the same reasons I usually yell it.
  8. Unbelieveable. What's their record when Freel flies out to Jacque?
  9. He has the "wherewithall" to get the out.
  10. Didn't Otto pitch BP this morning? What's wrong with these bums?
  11. I'd settle for an early 1 run lead. We sure do make Milton look good.
  12. You can listen to the WGN pregame show on WGN's website.
  13. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/obpwoes.gif Barrett is clearly the answer. Look at the disparity between our #1 hitters and our opponents. It's disgusting.
  14. Fearless prediction: Neifi's average will drop below 190 today. Cubs still win, 4-2.
  15. Here we go Marmol, here we go. =D> Here we go Marmol, here we go. =D> Cubs win, 5-3.
  16. With the big 2-5 today, he's all the way up to 234/279/301/580, and STILL LEADING OFF. Good thing the season's only more than a third over. Holy cripes, he sucks.
  17. Prior has yet to lose a game this season! Wood is absolutely unhittable right now.
  18. Dave Chappelle >>>>>> Juan Pierre I don't know. This team is the definition of comedy. Chappelle is laugh-out-loud funny, Pierre is "hey kid, grab me another beer to make this pain go away or I'll throw your momma out the window again" funny.
  19. Actually, I think you'd see something like the Red Sox without such a high payroll. He'd spend more than a "true" moneyball team, but use cost-analysis and sabermetric views much like they have done in Boston. No sense in arguing, let's get him in here to see which of us is right! :lol:
  20. He's not good because he has no control, which is exactly what I posted above. True, but you also claim that with better control, he would be a filthy closer. If I had more control and could throw in the mid 90's, I could be a closer too. Alas, I'm just not that good.
  21. I think rightfully so.
