  1. Thursday morning will be very exciting
  2. I'd have to say eating the green fuzzy stuff.
  3. I'm not jumping off yet, Marmol looked really solid apart from the Guillen homer.
  4. The only sporting event that has made me cry since I hit teenagerhood was Gonzo-to-Grudzie-to-Karros to win the division.
  5. Or Pierre, or Neifi, or...
  6. Rusch should be DFA'd, but knowing the Cubs won't do this, I'm alright with sending Marmol down for some more work. He had a promising start and I'm sure he will be in the 2007 rotation.
  7. I'm sorry Cards fans on here - it's pixie dust. The Cubs are bad, but their lineup is really not THAT much worse than what STL is currently running out there.
  8. I've been calling him *slang term for boobs* McGee in honor of Anchorman for quite some time.
  9. I don't want Bynum in the outfield. He's Dubois-esqe out there and that's the nicest way I could put it. Right now I'd kill for Dubois out there.
  10. You know what makes us look bad? Our crappy baseball team. Truth
  11. After another crap game by Murt I'm honestly wondering if Bynum will be getting all the starts in LF from now on.
  12. The Royals have a great GM now. The D-Rays have a nice young core. The Pirates are probably the 2nd worst team to root for but I have to think the Cubs are the worst just for the complete stupidity that engulfs the organization.
  13. Well your new favorite team lost by 8 runs, so it shouldn't be much of an adjustment. That's only because they played the unstoppable force that is a Cubs rival. :(
  14. When I get back from work, I'll come back and watch Marmol pitch on tape. Fun.
  15. I'm guessing this means Barrett's appeal is done and he will start serving today...
  16. I will not watch anymore if Z is hurt. He's the only reason I ever pay attention.
  17. GM: Theo Manager: Fredi Gonzalez with a specially selected member of NSBB as a consultant (who could also work with Theo, not that he'd need it much) Pitching Coach: Maddux (or Leo if Maddux still didn't want to do it)
  18. If nothing else, we'll be a lot more willing to discuss Sox hate now than before, since the Cubs are giving us nothing but the same old crap to talk about.
  19. I can only hope that I get to hear Ron's call in a World Series-winning game.
  20. Well if they were all NSBB'ers, then we'd be A-ok. I don't know if I'd want Charlie Chahill the #1 shareholder. If it was NSBB-ers, yes. But a lot of Cubs fans, much like a lot of baseball fans in general, don't understand the value of OBP, VORP, etc. like the posters here.
  21. I agree with everything you said UMFan, but it's worth pointing out that Ronny's production has been better than Murton's when you factor in position. Not that Dusty pays attention to that I'm sure.
  22. I've always found it odd how Frank Thomas is the only person that testified at the Congressional hearing who's basically completely escaped any speculation. Even Schill has been needled by some as a juicer (pun intended) but Thomas always slides under the "he was always big" defense. I'll never forget what a joke I thought it was that he wasn't actually going under the excuse of a foot injury that would be aggravated by flying. Ridiculous.
  23. Meaning will Dusty run him into the ground, or meaning will Dusty/Jim decide to send him down to make room for more Rusch?
  24. I'm game. So when Steve Kline suggest that Mark Prior get hit by one, it's wrong, and it's okay for two of us to say it. I'm becoming less and less proud to be a Cub fan with comments lke this. There's a 4-page thread on Ozzie Guillen, a manager with a World Series ring and a competitive team this year, and it's all negative. So many "real" Cub fans talk about how obsessed with the Cubs Sox fans are, and how they're fickle, and don't exist. Judging by this section of the board and half the people that are/were Cub "fans," many of us aren't too far from that either. I feel like making some of you feel like that Sox pitcher last night. Grow up. I find it real tough to criticize a manager who just brought a World Series to a town where our manager does nothing but underachieve and make excuses. Yes, it was wrong, but how many of you wouldn't trade Guillen for Baker? For the record, while the comments by Kline annoyed me at first, I now think they are pretty hilarious. Especially considering the fact that he also told La Russa that he was No. 1 in his own special way the following season. :)
