  1. Are Ichiro and Giambi considered good? I'm sure they're more home page pic worthy than Mike Glendenning.
  2. They don't need to worry about restrooms being done. Most of downtown St Louis is already covered with human waste, the new Busch may as well be.

  4. You're fooling yourself if you think it's a temporary problem. With or without Lee, they have a crap bench. They need all the help they can get in that department. They've spent all their energy trying to find versatile bench players, meanwhile, they haven't bothered finding a bench player that can hit worth a lick. I don't care if a guy can only play 1B defensively, they still need bats, desperately. I agree, but would Clark waive his no-trade clause to come to Chicago to sit on the bench? The question should be, would he waive the clause to come to Chicago to start for 2 months, then become a spot starter for Lee as he comes back from a very serious injury and be the primary threat off the bench. And why wouldn't he? Unless Jackson gets hurt, he's pretty much guaranteed to see more PT here than there.
  5. Ugly. In a hitter's park, no? Is he traditionally a slow starter? 2003-2005 splits show April to be his lowest OPS month at 722. He is at 813 overall during those years.
  6. Did anybody good ever play in the league? Mike Glendenning on the home page?
  7. The good news is, that the Cubs have not lost back-to-back games this season since they lost 2 in a row.
  8. Murton will hit 50 all by himself. Add Jacque's 4, and it really shows how crazy your prediction is.
  9. I'm not comparing them to the Cubs. With that pitching staff (especially the pen), Cincinnati has perhaps the biggest "bottom falling out" potential of any team who's bottom hasn't already fallen out. I know we keep saying their pitching stinks, but it hasn't happened yet. Does anyone have pitching stats for current Cubs and Reds? You mean, like this? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/pitching?team=chc http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/pitching?team=cin We musn't forget these: Cobs Reds
  10. Randall Simon BandWGN anyone? I liked Randall and the enthusiasm (and mojo) he brought to the club. It appeared as though nobody had fun until he showed up. They finally showed passion the last 6 weeks or so of the season, and I think Randall deserves a lot of credit for that. I wanted him back as the 25th man just for that alone. But in terms of being an everyday player, Randall was not so hot. Great cheerleader, lukewarm player.
  11. Or maybe he's sleeping with the fishes.
  12. Baker's been using this excuse here since he got here. Weasel.
  13. I used to think it was extremely bad luck that I wasn't able to watch the Cubs games this year, but now I consider it a blessing.
  14. Don't watch -- you'll be better off in the end.
  15. I have seen this alot lately, do you honestly think our offensive problems are just because DLee's not playing? I agree, he is a difference maker, but his being absent isn't the only reason the Cubs suck at the plate. True, but taking out 46 HR's and 100 RBIs REALLY hurts this average line-up. Throw the farm at Florida. And it was average at best with him in it.
  16. Clines is the hitting coach, and I'm calling for his head.
  17. Maybe they are being truthfull and will actually tell their producers that Cubs fans are getting fed up with their crap, but I doubt it. They didn't even address your concerns/questions. They saw "Joe Morgan sucks" and feebly attempted to ease your pain. Weasels.
  18. He's going to have to do a lot better than that. Even Jacque Jones had 3 hits one game.
  19. You probably don't have much disposable income because you just spent $100 on baseball cards.
  20. What's Kevin Tapani doing? Mike Morgan? Kevin Foster? Mike Bielecki? Anyone?
