    Chad Johnson. How can you deny the vote to a guy who actually has a poster in his locker evaluating whether the opposing DB decently covered him the previous week???
  2. Andy
    I agree with Vance on that sentiment. :wink: That said, Mary Ann easily. Not only is she much sexier, but if she can like a loser like Gilligan (which I believe she did), then maybe I'd have a chance!

    I voted other, the thing that frustrated me most was the Cubs complete failure to execute. We ranked among the worst in the majors at scoring runners from third and less than two outs. Near the end of the season, we lost a game to Houston where we had the bases loaded, nobody out in the ninth and failed to score, giving the Stros the win, and the sad part was that I wasn't even remotely surprised.

    I remember that. Of course half the stadium was Cubs fans so someone had to do the Chop. That had to be pretty disheartening for the Braves to come out to see just as many cheers for the Cubs as for them. Since then, Turner is now "Wrigley Field South", joining PNC Park (East), Miller Park (North) and Coors Field (West).

    1. Sign Nomar or, if he won't accept a cheap incentive-laden deal, sign Furcal. 2. Sign Giles. 3. Pick up Walker and Williamson's options. 4. Sign Millwood unless we're sure Jerome is ready to be the 5th starter. 5. Do everything possible to sneak Jose Macias out the door before Dusty notices. Neifi Perez, too. Lineup: SS Furcal 2B Walker/Cedeno 1B Lee RF Giles 3B Ramirez LF Murton/Walker C Barrett CF Patterson/Pie (if Nomar comes back, lead off Walker, bat Murton second and put Nomar behind Ramirez) Pitching Rotation: Zambrano Prior Wood Maddux Millwood/Williams

    co-signed Count me in to that as well...except let's have the title come from the Cubs or Bulls then I'll be happy :wink:

    Seriously, how do you not ready yourself for a squeeze every single time there's a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs against STL? They've run the squeeze approximately 803,356,342 times this season.

    The most hilarious thing about that is that the White Sox should have been the ones being the victim of that joke. A week before he made that gesture, the Tribe was right on the Sox's heels and everyone was saying the Sox would lose it. The Tribe, in my opinion, would have won the division if Sizemore hadn't dropped the ball against KC. And yet Guillen makes the choke sign. Priceless. It would have been similar to the Cubs coming back to win Game 7 of the NLCS in 2003 after doing their best to blow it and Dusty making that symbol to Florida. Totally hypocritical.

    They also said it once for Bill Mueller, the 2003 AL batting champ. But for Derrek Lee?? That's iffy.
  10. Andy
    It also says the Cubs are optimistic that Larry will return. I don't see why he'd leave the Cubs for a team like Detroit, even if his buddy Leyland is there.

    I am interested in the playoffs, but it took until midnight last night for a team I want to win to finally win a game (the Angels). I'm also growing more and more disgusted with the Red Sox's efforts to ensure a White Sox title. I wonder what the Yankees/Angels will do to help out the Sox? Every other team that's played the Chisox this season has helped them by blowing chances to win left and right so let's see how easy we can make it, right? That said, I am looking forward to Hot Stove more than the playoffs, but I like baseball in any form, so I watch.

    I agree with the most here, this one was a funny dig at White Sox fans. The best part is that if the Red Sox stuff weren't there, this could easily have been written by a Cubs fan. My most hated White Sox fan: Mayor Daley. At least Bernie Mac didn't try to get Wrigley condemned.
  13. Andy
    Or don't. Dempster is not among the ten finalists.
  14. Andy
    I liked Derrek a lot in 2004 too and that year he was at best the Cubs' 3rd best offensive player. As long as he doesn't completely stop hitting I will always like Lee.
  15. Andy
    We'll find out this offseason. Zambrano is arbitration eligible I believe, and will probably be getting a lot closer to double digit millions next year.

    Dusty Baker - L.A. I can dream can't I?
  17. Andy
    Today has been terrible. Not only have the Bosox and Padres lost but the White Sox soundly beat on the Red Sox. And now the Yanks are winning. Why not just have the Cubs go 0-162 and actually kill me?
  18. Andy
    Derrek Lee...the reason I still paid attention when the Cubs were down to the Reds 7-2 in that magical game in April. :D And the reason I kept paying attention even after it was clear we weren't going anywhere. Thanks for making me smile even when there was very little to keep my spirits up, Derrek.
  19. Andy
    My goals for the Cubs this off-season: 1. Giles (the lefty protection for Derrek Lee that we thought Burnitz could be) 2. Furcal (an actual leadoff hitter??? Who'da thunk it?) 3. Millwood* (won the AL ERA title and since Burnett is out there will probably not be too overpaid) * - if the Cubs can't find a better in-house solution Also get rid of Neifi, Macias and Nomar, pick up Walker's option and have him split time at second and left field (he said he'd play left if he were asked), and trade Patterson unless we're sure we have nothing better in center field. And fire Dusty Baker.

    I'll risk the flak from everyone by picking Andruw Jones. Stats aside, he carried the Braves through a very tough stretch this season. And I'm pretty sure he did it without a consistent 30-homer guy protecting him in the lineup. With all due respect to Derrek Lee's and Albert Pujols's great seasons, Andruw had such an impact on his team's run this year that it can't be ignored. Regardless, I think we can all agree that whoever finishes third this year is one of the greatest third-place finishers in the history of this award.
  21. Andy
    Anyone else sick of playing the Reds first week of the season? It's happened now in 2003, 2004, and 2006 just to name some recent years.
  22. Andy
    I made these predictions before the playoffs began... STL over SD in 5 ATL over HOU in 5 NYY over ANA in 4 BOS over CWS in 4 STL over ATL in 5 BOS over NYY in 6 STL over BOS in 7

    I've followed otis89 over from Baseball Fever... I have been bashing the White Sox all year because I have two obnoxious buddies who are White Sox fans and they would never let me hear the end of it if the Sox won. I'm already catching flak from them for the Cubs missing the playoffs, even though we split the six crosstown games this season. In truth I still think the Sox were the luckiest team in baseball, having suffered only two major injuries and having their pitchers play the way they did. And yet now the playoffs have started, I don't seem to have as much hatred for them. I still would prefer they don't win a World Series, but the fact that I don't want to see another obnoxious Red Sox celebration, another title for the soul-sucking Yankees, or a title for the ridiculously overachieving Cardinals has also jumped in. Basically, let's just get a Braves-Angels series in here so I can watch without ardently rooting against one of the teams.
