  1. Yeah, for starters, I think he is the worst I've seen to go through an entire season. Rusch 2006 will blow that away. With Estes at least the Cubs scored runs for him and sometimes they won anyway. (Estes was .500 that year despite sucking)
  2. What about Bloom at Colorado? He made money of skiing, and couldn't play football. Also Zibby has a boxing agent. Bloom's issue was endorsement money. His argument was that he needed the endorsement money to ski (which was true). The NCAA wouldn't have any of it though. As to Zibby's boxing agent, I don't know how that is allowed.
  3. Signing an agent is forbidden, and making money off playing your college sport is forbidden (by signing with the Cubs he's now ineligible to play college baseball). But since it is a different sport he can play it professionally, also the reason Zbikowski can box. It's a joke of a rule, but it's a rule. Note: One of the underrated aspects of getting him is watching board members attempt to spell Samardzija. :)
  4. Rusch is going to the pen too. Only because Prior is back
  5. Prior: 3 1/3 innings, 7 ER Ex-Cub Garland: 8 IP, 0 ER, home run I think the Baseball Gods are collectively trying to drive us all to suicide. Wood and Prior are d-u-n done by the way, I'd be shocked if the two of them won more than 15 games together in their remaining Cubs careers.
  6. Please don't get crushed by a space shuttle Prior.
  7. Shortest game thread of the season. (9 posts shorter than the 6/8 game.)
  8. Ponson's ERA: 4.35 Rusch's ERA: 7.80 And which one gets demoted? I love the Cubs.
  9. Thursday morning will be very exciting
  10. I'd have to say eating the green fuzzy stuff.
  11. I'm not jumping off yet, Marmol looked really solid apart from the Guillen homer.
  12. The only sporting event that has made me cry since I hit teenagerhood was Gonzo-to-Grudzie-to-Karros to win the division.
  13. Or Pierre, or Neifi, or...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. I've been calling him *slang term for boobs* McGee in honor of Anchorman for quite some time.
  17. 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.
  18. You know what makes us look bad? Our crappy baseball team. Truth
  19. After another crap game by Murt I'm honestly wondering if Bynum will be getting all the starts in LF from now on.
  20. 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.
  21. 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. :(
  22. When I get back from work, I'll come back and watch Marmol pitch on tape. Fun.
