    At first glance I thought this thread might be started by Jimmy Edmonds.
  2. circlecitycub
    I think he always looks a little constipated.
  3. circlecitycub
    I thought Theriot had one in Cincy.

    I get blacked out even when they are on ESPN. However, for some reason I can get almost all the games on MLB.tv. Very few are blacked out for me.

    Does he still start every reply with "Look" or "Let me tell you something"? I got a kick out of that during his first press conference with the Cubs.

    May 2 @ Pittsburgh Just a shot in the dark...

    They just recently made a Ramirez and I belive it was in the home pinstripes. This three pack they wanted to do three players who had not been made or atleast hadn't been made in the pinstripes. Lee's pose was done before but in the away grey's, the only Cubs Maddux was a retro to when he played with the team in his first go round and Z has never been done before. These figuires are planned very far in advance so it is hard to altar lineups.

    They caught that error. He will be made with the all blue home cap.

    Holy crap! They still use the same B/W style pics that they used 22 yers ago. I have a Bobby Dernier and Jim Frey auto'd pics from the winter of '85 caravan.

    Are they going to go back to the AL/NL rotation or is just where ever they feel like having it from now on? I think it needs to come back to Wrigley by 2011.

    Other than the reason DeRosa came to Chicago was to start at 2B. We're not getting Giles. I really, really want us to. He was my pick for 2B at the start of the offseason. It's not going to happen. :( Didn't Walker come to the Cubs to be their starting 2nd baseman? That didn't seem to stop them from acquiring others and playing them there as well. Giles is far better than Hairston and Neifi. I think this one should be a no brainer for Hendry.

    It's a nice gesture by Les but I'm thinking he's gonna hear a lot of 'who the heck are you?'

    I don't wish Hendry ill, not even as a joke, but he better recover so he can stand behind what he has put together. So if he were to die you would be mad that he is not around to take the criticism? Ridiculous. Some of us may not agree with Hendry's signings, trades, and philosophies but if the 2007 Cubs fail it will not be due to lack of effort on Hendry's part. Maybe this team will recognize how hard Hendry worked for them this offseason and return the favor on the field. I don't think that a generalized opinion on how hard the GM worked in the offseason is what really drives most baseball players to play winning baseball. No but it may prompt Eyre to whine less about running laps and getting in shape. It may inspire pitchers to field their position better i.e. cover first base properly. It's something that just may cross the mind of every player that Hendry brought here and give them one more reason to leave it all out on the field next season.

    He's got spunk, I suppose that's something. If Lilly and Lou go toe to toe that could be one for the ages.

    Against the Marlins. That was awesome. Yeah I remember that play too, I just remember it being against the Brewers and it being a double...hmmm I guess I'm losing it. Nah, it was the Marlins and it was a single to RF. From Jon's site: here it is: http://www.jonmdavis.net/videos/glenallenhill2.mpg Laz Diaz thought he was going to get the best of Hill there. Check out the look on his face when Hill reaches first safely. LOL

    Must be the Hank White fan club in full effect.

    I would love to see Matthews in CF. Especially if ARod could be had. Theriot 2B Murton LF Lee 1B ARod SS Ram 3B Jones RF Barrett C Matthews CF I think that lineup would be pretty potent.

    Yes he is. The Cubs single great offensive weakness is the lack of OBP, and that ties to an unwillingness to take walks. In other words, the Cubs aren't good offensively because they make outs too frequently. And Pierre is part of that very large problem. Hit totals don't mean anything. I'm on board with the OBP, I really am. I just don't see how "hits don't mean anything". Isn't getting on base via a hit contribute to the OBP? I think the fact that he gets so many hits is a very good thing in itself...but you are right on the fact that he doesn't walk enough. I still don't think he's a major problem though, i'd be more worried about other positions. And letting him go makes that trade even worse than before...doesn't that count? I didn't say hits don't mean anything. I said hit totals don't mean anything. People wet their pants when they hear 200 hits, or led the league in hits. Well, when you bat first everyday and never walk, it's really not that hard to lead the league in hits with more than 200. The total means nothing. Pierre's lack of OBP outweighs everything else, as it's the most important stat, and one he's really bad at. I think Corey Patterson would beg to differ.

    I went two years ago and noticed the same thing about Dusty. He actually brought me back in after the convention but by mid season he had me cursing him once again.

    I would love to check out this film. Do you have any plans to hold any screenings in Indianapolis? We have an Arts cinema here that would be a good place for a film like this. http://www.landmarktheatres.com/market/Indianapolis/KeystoneArtCinema.htm

    Dunstons over the shoulder, back to the infield catch in short left and then doubling up the guy at first base to end the game vs the Mets in 1989 was awesome. In fact IIRC every game of that series was won in dramatic fashion by the Cubs. One was on a walkoff by Grace. Can anyone else recall how the other game ended?

    When I was growing up they didn't have the names on the back of their jerseys. It forced me to learn everybody's number. I was happy to see them go back to the nameless jerseys again. I like the navy blue jerseys as well.

    Holy crap. Chili Peppers are good but Tool is probably the greatest band of this generation. Musically, lyrically, artistically, or live. Anyway you slice it these guys are incredible. I've seen both bands live multiple times and RHCP do not hold a candle to Tool.
