  1. 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. :)
  2. I was gonna Avatar it, but I couldn't shrink it and still make it look cool.
  3. Me to my Sox fan friend who can't understand why I like Murton so much: "When Murton goes to Detroit or Oakland in a couple of years under a competent coaching staff, he will become a star. I guarantee it."
  4. I watched and did not hear anything. Sorry.
  5. Used to be someone's sig. Should be revived.
  6. Link in case anyone was curious.
  7. I'm not sure the Royals could top that. The Royals would look at that lineup and go, "WWWWhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaatttt? Man, even we ain't that bad." "and even if we are, at least we're spending an eighth as much to be this bad."
  8. He's been saying that for a while now. A couple of weeks ago I heard him say the same thing. The Cubs will probably run him out of town too. They wouldn't. It would be one of the worst PR moves in the history of human exsistance. And Cubs fans would not let them get away with it. Santo is loved by almost each and every Cubs fan. If they want to keep fans, they keep Santo. I just hope along with Santo, something happens to force a change. Whether it be end up in last place this year, Cubs sold. WHATEVER. I don't know how you take one of the most powerful teams in 2003, and instead of building on that. You end up with this heap pile of $#17!! Poor Ron. The sad thing is he probably doesn't have much time left and this team is not going to be any good anytime soon... :(
  9. At this rate the Marlins and DRays will have to be contracted.
  10. No, Buerhle didn't say that because he hates the rangers. It is just because he extremely stupid. And is a gigantic prick. FYI: Sox rank 10th in attendance this year and - get this - rank TWENTY NINTH in road attendance, just 50 people a game ahead of Anaheim. Just over 55% of the stadiums are filled when the defending champs come to town. Now THAT'S devotion. :roll:
  11. I'm gonna watch just for the sheer hilarity of seeing this guy that has an almost 9.00 ERA as a starter continue to get chance after chance to embarrass himself while we have a guy with a bright future ON THE DAMN 25 MAN ROSTER who could easily start in his place. Hahahahahahahaha. (The Cubs have driven me insane. It's official.)
  12. Sa-MAR-zhuh I thought it was Sa-MAR-ja No, there is definitely a hard "zh" in there. Just picture no I in between the Z and J and you will pretty much have it.
  13. I dunno, Boston traded for Wakefield's personal catcher based on basically one game with Bard.
  14. Considering the interest in him this offseason, I doubt he'd get much of a chance to contribute if traded. (Which speaks to the complete stupidity of all baseball front office personnel.)
  15. I do, if it's Torii we're renting.
  16. Hmm, didn't know this.
  17. Sutcliffe was gushing about Dusty pitching out, too. The longer the national media perpetuates this crap, the longer we will have to put up with Dusty.
  18. I wonder if Barrett is still behind Yadier Molina, who he is batting about a hundred points better than.
  19. naw, then you just see the return of Enrique Wilson and a trade for Grissom That's why front office is included. The Cubs would need a new front office, presumably one not stupid enough to sign Enrique and Marquis.
  20. The only way change will be made is if a bomb goes off in the Cubs clubhouse with only front office personnel, Neifi, Pierre and Bynum in it.
  21. I can't figure it out. I thought the Sox wanted to take fans from the Cubs, but they seem to take so much delight in people hating them that they continue to do ass-clown trailer park trash crap like this. It astounds me.
  22. Once again, Mr. .250 is batting ahead of Jacque Jones against a RHP. Am I missing something?
  23. There's plenty of time (and other posters who agree with you) to trash ND without bringing it into a Transactions thread.
  24. He had Randy Johnson and Curt Shilling. And a juiced Luis Gonzalez. And Mariano Riveria botching an easy comebacker DP. When I listen Brenly "stratigize" during the games, I am fairly confident that he would be a worse manager than Dusty. He wanted to bunt to first for five innings to see if Edmonds can play first. Brenly has said many stupid things in the year and a half or so as color man, but that wasn't one of them. He only kept saying that because the Cubs were too stupid to ever try. No that was a stupid idea. It made sense to me, especially since Edmonds was recently returning from an injury. *shrug*
