    It's frustrating to see yet another game where the bullpen does its job and locks down the game and the bats can do absolutely nothing in a juice box of a park against a craptacular pitcher.

    The Cubs don't have a leadoff problem.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    I enjoy fun. Nice.

    I don't know, I love them both so much. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i101/augustine1014/station.jpg OH, WAIT! WINNAR IS ME. http://www.billandted.org/pics/bj/bjstation2.jpg

    The "O" tricked me with it's pseudo-Q-ness. God, it's all the way over on the keyboard. I suck.

    QFMFT. Classic Pedro can't be touched. Watching him pitch in those days is the closest I'll ever come to seeing a real life superhero.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I would say you are wrong. Golden era Pedro is just disgustingly better than anything ever.

    If you can barely hit Chris Sampson, sorry, you deserve to lose that game.

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAH! Fontenot.

    FAKE RALLY IN FULL EFFECT.

    Go sit down and paint on another moustache, Soto.

    Valverde freakin' rules. Quit hatin'.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I hate the Cubs losing, but I do love Valverde's insanity.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    FUKUGRAB.

    Edmonds chance of redemption is coming up on the 9th. If he screws that up, any grace period he had is done.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    That would make too much sense. And split up those precious, precious lefties waaaaaaaay too far. Good thinkin', Loucifer. Ascaino looks badass on the mound.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    You know what would be awesome right now? Having a #5 hitter with some real power.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    ...plus Theriot.

    OK, late '90's-present. Except the oldest signing you have on here is from 2001 (DeShields...who is a huge stretch to be called a star). The Cubs have done this for their entire history, players like Rick Aguilera in 1999 all the way back to guys like Rogers Hornsby and Dizzy Dean in the 30's. Rajah and Dizzy played several years for the Cubs. They were more Mike Morgan/Henry Rodriguez types. Jimmy Foxx would be more properly lumped with this group. So there's a timeframe in terms of how long they play for the team?

    ... BOO THIS THREAD.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    So it's only been since the "Sosa years" that they've been doing these kind of signings? Come on.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    It's awesome I know exactly what this thread is about thanks to the helpful title and then the leadoff post. Oh, wait.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I'm going to safely say that White, Gordon, Burnitz, Deshields, Nevin and Lawton are about as also-ran as you can get. Christ, sticking with your era, Hollandsworth and Gerut had as much "heat" or more as some of those humps. In short, it makes no sense to lump them in with Nomar and Lofton in terms of the profile of the acquisition. I'm not saying that those other guys are complete nobodies, but your list is rather arbitrary and nonsensical.

    This is more like a list of names LLF remembers playing with the Cubs for brief periods of time since he started following the team than a list of one time star players. Ive been following the team none stop since 1984 when I was 8, and going to games since I was 5, thank you. These are (one time) star players who had a short, often unremarkable stint with the team. Sure, there have been more in the past, but it wasnt really until the Sosa years where the started the trend of aquiring fairly big names to help out for short periods of time. Most of those names are nowhere near being "fairly big." http://www.tadbit.com/hosted_imgs/you_fail_011.jpg
