    Zambrano doesn't have to be a "true #1" to be very useful as a starter. That's the thing I don't get: yes, to this point he's overpaid when you look at the end result, but it's not like he's some huge bust the either needs to be banished to the bullpen or traded away. Plus he's still just 28.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    You're right. According to this board 99% of the problems with the Cubs this year is Lou and Hendry. That would be true, if you ignored all of the points about Lee and Aramis starting off the season horrendously and the issues with the talent level in the bullpen. But the bulk of the blame should lie with Hendry. That said, it's silly to act like Lou is getting unfair blame here. Managers can negatively impact a team far more than they can positively, and Lou is basically a textbook example of that.

    No. Castro is so powerful that he just wills it in.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe if erik was a manager he'd beat up his players in the parking lot and steal their wallets.

    Cubs get another mini-sweep. Cowardly pussies can bow out now.

    http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f19/TheMojoPin/SWEEP.jpg Eh, ended up with a .500 home stand. I'll take it given how bad they were doing when it started.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Hmmmmm. Z must be in a good mood over going back to the rotation.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody here is making Lou the only scapegoat.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Good.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Really wish it was the end of Grabow instead. I still think Caridad has potential. Wow, that slide suuuuuuuuuuuucked. Way to use your face.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Ew, Kapaln sighting.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    How the [expletive] is Silva doing this?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    That fan who charged Howry was lucky he got tackled before he got to the mound. Howry was staring him down the whole way and likely would have mangled that kid brutally.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Huh, Rockies have lost 10 of their last 11 at Wrigley.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    I didn't see the replay; did that loose ball actually hit Silva's bat? It looked/sounded like it missed it. NICE!
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Not much funnier than Lou boosters.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Dammit. I love it when the suicide squeeze goes down.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I like how Lou basically did his best to downplay Marshall in the post-game press conference. I know he doesn't really ever rave about guys when he's talking to the press, but I'm pretty sure he summed it up with something like, "yeah, Marshall pitched well for us." Would it kill Lou to make the guy who has a 0.787 WHIP and a SO/BB ratio of 5.40 the setup man?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    So you're suggesting that they take out a life insurance policy on Hendry and then have him killed? Brutal.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Or maybe Byrd is a terrifying madman and his delusional insanity is tearing the clubhouse apart.

    Nobody's making a reasonable claim that it was ACTUALLY great. People are saying that they thought it was relatively "great," as in "I enjoyed Cubs' baseball more in the 00's than the 90's."
  22. Sammy Sofa
    I can only respond to what he wrote. And given his other comments on the subject matter, yes, I truly do believe he thinks the 2000s were literally great for the Cubs and their fans despite the fact that they failed to capitalize on what was thought of by many as a promising decade to come. But that's still subjective. The 00's can definitely be "great" for a Cubs fan, relatively speaking. It's not a right or wrong position to take. Compared to the other decades I've been a Cubs fan, I definitely found the 00's to be "great."
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Plus he had nearly knocked himself out of the game earlier with a screaming foul ball off of his leg.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    No they weren't. They were mediocre. 4 sub .500 seasons, 3 95 loss seasons and only 1 90 win season. 3 playoff appearances in 10 years despite a substantial financial advantage over the competition. The Angels, Twins and Athletics had great 2000's, the Cubs just managed to not suck as much as they did the previous decade. I like how you make this response as if someone can be wrong for enjoying the Cubs in the 00's compared to the 90's. What are you talking about? How do you get that at all? Seriously? My response was about the 2000's and how they were clearly not great. I even pointed out that the only reason somebody would pretend they were great is because they didn't suck as much as the 90's. Come on. You can't seriously believe he was calling them "great" in terms of "these were years of truly great, impressive baseball" as opposed to the obvious "these were great years of baseball compared to the 90's."
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Exactly, and Lou taking his pentulant, childishly stubborn approach to them simply doesn't work. Grabow has shown nothing this year that indicates he should be the guy to you go to in the 8th in a 2-1 game, especially when you have Marshall sitting on the same bench.
