    Agreed. Funny how he can have ~150 less homers than Sammy and is practically guaranteed...and there are doubts about Sammy's ability to get in. Especially when Thomas has just as much evidence of steroid use pointing at him as Sammy does (which is to say, none).

    Hey Brandon, Was it at all disappointing not to make the team after the spring training you had, and moreover not to get called up after Derrek Lee got hurt and it was clear the Cubs would need a first baseman for a while? Also, which MLB team would you most like to hit a walk-off home run against someday? Thanks for your time!

    The lottery is at 6:30 CT on ESPN. Bulls are guaranteed a top-5 pick. Personally, I'm liking Brandon Roy more and more.

    The only difference between Ozuna and Neifi is the name on the front of his jersey. But for the New Cardinals, that's all you need.

    A's had 1st and 3rd with no one out and blew it in the 10th. On my annual 3-game trip to Wrigley last year, I saw Detroit blow two straight bases-loaded less than 2 out opportunities in two days against the Sox. I find it amazing how teams forget how to play the game when they play against this team.

    I just hope I become a national sportswriter so I can dispel the ludicrous myth that Wrigley faithful aren't real fans. From what I've seen the Wrigley fans are among the most knowledgeable and intelligent in baseball. Yeah, a few go to get drunk or "enjoy the Wrigley atmosphere". That's true of most ballparks.

    Excellent!! We'll have a full staff back by mid-June.... and we still won't be able to hit a lick. I'd rather watch Prior and Wood pitch than Rusch and Hill anyway. This team is done and I just want to take what I can out of this season.
  8. Andy
    White Sox Fans. Most of the ones I know would fall under this category. The answer to the question is, we deserved one LONG ago. Now we're overdue.
  9. Andy
    BTW, which Bears were watching? I hear Ricky Manning is a fan. Nah, I heard Peavy uses laptops in public. Manning wants to beat him down.

    The White Sox are the most bush league organization I have ever seen. We now have: A GM who openly calls players "***ing idiots" A manager who can't get a point across without using at least 10 f-bombs A catcher who is the 2nd most despised player in all of baseball A third-base coach who bites people in fights Fans who run out on the field and beat down 1st base umps/1st base coaches Why does all of this get rewarded by the fates with championships?

    At least I get to watch Wood pitch for one of the final times as a Cub.

    Just to rub it in, the A's blow a chance to win the game in the 10th (Thomas popout with 1st and 3rd 1 out) with the Sox winning on a squeeze bunt in the bottom of the inning. The Cubs are the worst team in baseball, with their two biggest rivals among the best 4. I thought the end of 2005 was a low point, but this is 50 feet of crap below that.

    Hope he keeps being a jackass, then maybe people will stop calling him a "gamer".

    Clayton and Ozzie BOTH had better years than they should have............ probably because of the way Larussa used them. TLR should be commended for getting the most out of both of them. Ozzie doesn't get it. He didn't have the stamina to be a full-timer at that point in his career. It would have been ugly (just like it was in '95). Ozzie should thank Larussa for putting him in a position to succeed in '96, so he wouldn't have to go out on the miserable note of 1995. Just like how he masterfully used Womack in '04'. Face it something happens when a guy puts on a Cardinals uniform. Don't believe me ask Woddy Williams, Julian Tavarez, or Cal Eldred. Chris Carpenter. Ray King.

    Stupid lineup. Hopefully the Cubs win in spite of Murton hitting 8th again.

    i thought len or hawk had said that, odd as it was, there were no pre-game warnings after z hit iguchi. Whoa, I completely missed something today. I took a little nap during the game, and have no clue that any of this happened. Details? basically aj hit a solo shot off of z, and he must have said something to carlos while rounding the bases because carlos started yelling in the direction of either aj/sox bench/joey cora @ 3rd while doing the whole two fingers in his eyes then two fingers towards his eyes like 'look at me' thing. then aj, after crossing the plate, kissed his hand and pointed to the sky ala carlos, and ozzie ran out to say something, who knows what. it was funny because for a second, carlos settled down after it quite well, it made me think that ozzie may have better control over the cubs than baker does. ha. Wow, thanks. I had no clue that happened. Anyone have a video link? AJ is a complete a**. The Sox need to find something else for comedy. The "imitating Cubs celebration" shtick got old about the 2nd time Jose Valentin did Sammy's kiss thing. With all there is to make fun of, they can certainly find something better than imitating Z.

    The Bulls are everything the Cubs aren't - well-run, with a solid plan in place, an intelligent GM and coach at the helm, and a good system with which to develop young players. I can't wait for next season.

    Great post, hadn't thought of it this way.

    Suffered through 2000 and 2002. Have yet to find a Cubs team that is really hate-able. But 2004 was surprisingly un-fun for an 89-win year. No one in the organization - fans, players, broadcasters, execs - was ready for the pressure of being pre-season WS favorites. I don't hate this team. I actually very much like the team. I can't stand the front office, but I like all 8 regular position players (well, maybe not Juan) and I like all the pitchers. I want them to win. It sucks that they really aren't capable of doing it.
  21. Andy
    I called something similar, that he'd leave with "arm soreness" and go on the DL again. But the Cubs decided to wait two days before fulfilling my prediction...

    I'd rather see a DLee that hits like Neifi Perez than Neifi Perez himself. At least Lee would have a chance of improving. That's true but it would still be hard to watch for a little while if he was hitting like Neifi. DLee could hit better than Neifi NOW. I think the worst we see is a May 2004-type Derrek Lee for a while till he gets back in 100 percent shape.

    I'm as pissed at him for the error as anything, but he did hit 3 game-winning homers early in the season that helped us win the division by one game. (I will always remember Geoff Jenkins robbing him of a 4th game-winner in the 16-inning game that CPatt eventually won.) Enjoy your retirement, Alex.

    Barrett 10 games is complete crap. Sammy only got 8 pre-appeal for corking, Springer got 4 for intentionally hitting somebody, I'm pretty sure Alomar got only 6 for spitting at an ump, and I know that Farns didn't get 10 for tackling Wilson. There is NO WAY to justify a 10 game suspension for Barrett looking at similar suspensions in recent years.

    Today was his 19th homer against CWS, most against any team.
