    Sounds from what Len said that Dusty's going to make Walker the primary 1B until DLee gets back.
  2. Andy
    Wow, look at Len. He looks like his cat just died or something describing D-Lee. :(

    I'm betting yes. I really doubt it, especially when you take into account the relative importance of the players. In many cases these are key players the Cubs have lost. I can't think of many examples over the last four years of players getting injured the way Cubs' players have.

    Seconded. Apart from having Walker bat second and Murt third, this lineup gives us the best chance to stay afloat. Although, I don't have a problem with keeping Murt seventh to keep pressure off him. I have to admit, Dusty is impressing me this year with an amazing lack of completely brainless moves.

    LaTroy Hawkins's fastball and Victor Diaz's bat.

    Nice about NSBB being added to the presser rotation. We're movin' up in the world.

    Much better moderators here. In fact some guy named bartman_fan, or something like that got in all of two posts before he got the boot. I don't remember him. But m4d was a memorable one. :D

    Did Clement miss a start? Nope.

    Good points about Choi and the Sosa sneeze. It is weird how many we've had. I posted this at the end of last season: Pitchers who missed time due to line drives hitting them in 2005 - For the other 29 teams put together: One (Roy Halladay) For the Cubs: Three (Borowski, Fox, Prior)

    Seconded. This gets filed under simply unthinkable things that have happened to the Cubs right up with Durham, Gonzalez, Bartman, the black cat, Victor Diaz and everything else. Don't forget Brant Brown!...and Gammons probably commented on that after it happened, so I'm blamming him for that too. Brant isn't as big a deal considering the Cubs actually made the playoffs. Neifi Perez turned fate on its ear on that one, which is almost too bad because it would've been a classic Cubs collapse story.

    Man I wish I drank the koolaid that you drink. It's not koolaid. I just don't think the world is about to end... I don't think the world is gonna end either. Now if the Cubs actually won a World Series this year...then maybe the world would end. :wink:
  14. Andy
    Best-case scenario now is that Todd and Mabry are at second and first against righties, and hopefully that Todd plays first against lefties while Hairston and Neifi play second. And I agree that Murt should bat third. If nothing else, this injury is a chance for him to get some well-deserved exposure.

    I already miss Lee. I'd like to think that four or five of our guys will now have career years to make up for his injury, but this is the Cubs, not the White Sox or Cards. More likely we'll just have to deal with even more injuries in the next couple of weeks. Nevertheless, I am not giving up the hope.

    Just you wait, my youth movement strategy (Bay, Wright, Cantu, Gomes) will pay off. no, no....when Fielder, Beltre and Helton all break the record for most HR in a month in July, then who will be laughing? Haha, yeah Beltre is really showing signs of breaking out. What's he got this year, one extra base hit? it's one more than you have! :lol:

    I have one stat: Cubs record when DLee didn't score a run in 2005: 8-15
  18. Andy
    I agree that the Cubs can probably stay afloat for the next couple of months. I just doubt their ability to do it well enough to put us in position to storm into the playoffs at the end. I'll still cheer them on wholeheartedly, though, just because I can't imagine doing anything else during baseball season. I figure I went through 1999, 2000 and 2002, I can get through this, too.
  19. Andy
    This is why even though we are 9-5, it feels like we're 0-14.
  20. Andy
    Man I wish I drank the koolaid that you drink. Seconded. I'd like to be optimistic, but we've had two seasons in a row completely ruined by injuries and I see no reason why that is going to change now, especially since the players getting hurt are supposedly less injury-prone now.

    PLAYER A - 0 All-Stars' seasons ruined PLAYER B - 1 All-Stars' seasons ruined

    No one is suggesting the Cubs will mail it in or that they won't put up a fight. We're saying this team isn't good enough to do it effectively enough to win consistently.
  23. Andy
    All this Astros '05 talk assumes that the Cubs are a team capable of ripping off about 35 wins in 45 games when healthy. They're not. We can't come back from this. I don't want to think it's over in April, but it'd take a pretty damn big miracle.
  24. Andy
    I have no illusions about this. I can't believe Stone and Sullivan do but I don't. Without Lee, there's no way the Cubs play any better than .500 baseball until mid-July, and that's if Ramirez steps it up, Jacque starts tearing the ball up, Z gets his head back on straight, and some role players have career years.
  25. Andy
    I refuse to believe in the goat curse or any other curse. That said, clearly there are some larger forces at work here. The most un-injurable player perhaps in all of baseball goes down for 8-10 weeks en route to a .320/.400/.620 type season, what are we supposed to do???? Believe bracelet removed. I'll still watch the games, but I'm not putting in any stock into this season anymore. It's unbelievable the things that happen to this team. UN-BE-LIEV-A-BLE. Last year the Sox get career years out of about 13 pitchers and 5 hitters, and then they trade Rowand for Jim Thome and he's going to hit 50 homers this season. The Cubs lock up the best hitter in the game not named Pujols at below market value for five years and he goes down with an injury a week later. Just amazing. I hate sports.
