    Edmonds chance of redemption is coming up on the 9th. If he screws that up, any grace period he had is done.
  2. 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.

    You know what would be awesome right now? Having a #5 hitter with some real power.

    ...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.

    So it's only been since the "Sosa years" that they've been doing these kind of signings? Come on.

    It's awesome I know exactly what this thread is about thanks to the helpful title and then the leadoff post. Oh, wait.

    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

    I don't see any group on this board that would have an "I told you so, jerkfaces" explosion of Sean had a bad game. I don't see how this thread would go bad if that happened Agreed. There isn't anyone here that wants to see him do poorly.

    I laughed at my TV screen when Thorne said he "looped it to LF". yeah, i knew that was long gone when it came off the bat. No kidding. That would have been gone in Wrigley.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    FATALITY.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    It was rather impressive. You'll probaly have to wait until the game is over for video. It'll be on Cubs.com for sure and probably the #1 Web Gem for sure.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Marmol is a god.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Man, it is disheartening to see Lee's average drop like it has. He needs a couple days off. But that's a good way to turn it around!
  18. Sammy Sofa
    No kidding.

    This happens to CFers when a ball has spin and slice on it. Sweet. He's definatley a Cub now. He did what Edmonds does. Bourn probably catches that standing under it. Bad angle+no speed=omg what defense!!!111! And lol @ Bob even thinking that was anywhere close to as good as the Johnson catch. What a joke. So the Astros announcers called it an astounding catch, yet Cubs fans can't get over the fact that Edmonds actually did something to help the club....kinda pathetic if you ask me. If Z can forgive the guy why can't we? You quoted a Reds fan.

    Apparently misplaced his power. Yeah. Good thing we finally got ourselves that power hitting RF we've been missing the last few years. Some people are never happy... I'm perfectly happy with our RF. I just like that we're winning and everyone loves Fukudome and he's hit for less power than Murton, who apparently didn't have enough power when he was in the majors. I had no problem with Murton before. I don't have a problem with him now...just pointing out that nearly all of his XBH power suddenly up and vanished. 4 doubles and a triple in the last week. Maybe it's making a comeback. Here's hoping.

    It don't matter, CT, 'cause we can win more. :wink: Still, it's more comfortable if the other teams lose. I like it when the division is good. It erases that stigma of, "yeah the Cubs are in first, but its in the lowly NL Central". Shows that the Cubs are the class act in a classy division. I would prefer the Cubs beat up on a crappy divison and win it easily.

Look, nowhere did I say Fukudome is a better power player, but if you're stacking up Murton this season and Fukudome this season, I'm glad they have Fuku. I've always liked Murton as a player, but his almost complete absence of power both in his limited MLB time and in the minors this season is rather disconcerting.

    Just the other day after Soriano ripped a couple, ESPN put up a meaningless graphic showing Jacque as one of the last leadoff hitters to have a multi-hit game with 2 HR's, back in 2003.
