Yeah, here is a thought. Keeping your "criticism muted" is wimp talk for not admitting you didn't have the sack to voice your concerns when things were going well. Your assent to moderator is an abomination. Hilarious. Is this blowback from the Goony comparison? :D BTW, JC, you owe me $4 for dry cleaning. When I read this I spit up diet coke on my shirt. :P I have no idea what you are talking about...or something... Check the other thread, where you called Raw an angrier JC. High comedy. I'm going to go buy wine and drink at my desk. Anyone else want anything while 'm out?

I would be for it. Offensively Hernandez is better than Barrett, but he's better defensively. I'd bet we could spin Barrett off to the Mets or something.

You're right - it's time for me to get off that topic now. It's water under the bridge. It just upsets me that the Cubs had a chance to get this guy twice - after the 2002 season, and again after the 2004 season, and both times couldn't (or wouldn't) close the deal. I don't know how much of a shot this had of happening, but the only non-move that I keep wishing would have happened is signing Tejada a couple years ago. Alex Gonzalez's presence shouldn't have been a determining factor in getting one of the game's best SS. Of course, no Tejada may have meant no Derrek Lee/Choi trade. You're like an angrier JC. You mean goony? Us soccer players must think alike. Must be the shots to the head :D

I think we need to get on a roll, starting tonight. We need at least 8 out our next 10, and I don't care much which order they come in, with one qualifier: We have to sweep the Mets. We're missing their best 2 starters, and catching them after a series in which their pen was abused. We have Hill, Maddux and Z going. I feel good about Hill in Shea Stadium; it's a pitcher's park, and his biggest weakness is the home run. Maddux is due for a good outing against a team he's owned historically, and I'll take Z over almost anyone in baseball right now. Our pen gets a boost if for no other reason than Remmy is gone, and the lift the 3 returning guys could give should be huge. I think this series is make or break for us, as we need to start getting ourselves in a position to go 1 v 1 against Houston down the stretch, so we need to knock the Mets back a bit.

IF Dusty Got Fired, Who Is Your Pick For Interim Manager?

Don't worry, they'll put it together this weekend. Haven't you heard? The National League's slumpbuster is coming to town. Mets losing=Cubs only .5 games ahead of Milwaukee... :x
-
Whew. Big out there....
-
You absolutely, positively cannot allow this run to score.
-
damn. this isn't looking good. we need to win this game...
-
c'mon aram....
-
C'mon Lee, get yourself on base... Alright! Tying run up!
-
C'mon, 2-3-4! Let's go!!
-
Dusty, what are you thinking having Wuertz bat.
-
Guess not. I'm suprised .
-
I'm assuming there was a double switch since Prior's spot is 2nd this inning, and Baker's our manager?
-
He was over 100 pitches and obviously didn't have it today. Would you leave someone in who's given up 6 runs on 3 homers? I wouldn't, but Dusty might.
-
Rothschild making a pitching change? Odd....something wrong with Prior?
-
Ask Utley. Why is Modzilla here? :?:
-
Maybe we should think about Mitre getting warmed up.
-
Way to keep the momentum going, Prior....
-
Yeah. Unfortunatly the two main guys on offense are exahusted and playing through pain, respectively. That can't help.
-
What this team needs is a good bench clearing brawl.
-
At this point, unless you can get Griffey for your collection of Rule 5 eligibles, I wouldn't trade anything to help this team. I'd play it out as is.
