  1. Barrett's offense seems to really fly under the radar of most breakdowns I see of this team, much of the Chicago press included. This team has some bam all around.
  2. Floyd makes me wish for the DH all the time. Dear God, what am I saying?!?
  3. Murton made that happen. Don't ask how...he just did!
  4. Lets hope he dosent come back and and go cold like he did last year Well, he's going to literally be cold when he gets back to Chicago, which likely means the return of ninja-Aramis. Wow, Ichiro is fast.
  5. I hope the Cubs lose. Last two yeears they blew out the opener and then the whole year went to crap. "Strike that. Reverse it."
  6. Your points are all insipid and have little to no basis in reality.
  7. So it shall be written...so it shall be done.
  8. What about those comments make him soft? Did you hear him accepting responsibliity and saying that he has more work to do to get where he needs to be? No, he was trying to make a veiled point with his repeated use of the word "employee". What has he shown you in the past almost half decade to make you think that he has an ounce of mental toughness? How about actually going back on the mound after getting a 100MPH screaming line drive STRAIGHT to his right elbow. Seriously some people go waaay overboard with this "prior mental toughness" stuff. . Or getting rocked on the basepath. Or pitching a huge amount his first full year. Nooooooooooo, "Prior's soft."
  9. Lock him up, magically make Prior get better and then trade Z for ARod!
  10. What good is getting "his fire back" gonna do when his curve doesn't break and his fastball is too slow? This is getting ridiculous.... Yep, it's completely ridiculous to think that his mental state has an impact on the way he pitches. :roll: His fastball was gaining velocity, and his curve was improving slightly. Which is exactly what happens in spring training. I was pointing out that he looked like a whipped puppy when he pitched out there. His mental state is obviously affecting the way he pitches. Obviously?
  11. Hell, we still don't have a #5 hitter. Actually we do, but he's leading off. We have a few options for leadoff too. Oh well, I think a team needs the right balance of pitching, defense, and offense to be really good. Defense is going to make a bigger impact than 10%. Case in point Alex Gonzalez and his "defense" could have helped the Cubs get to the WS in 2003. Tell me I'm wrong. Gonzalez, if I remember correctly, wasn't bad defensively. That one horrible play isn't the best example for your overall argument.
  12. I know I'm a broken record over these lately, but please, shrink your damn avatar. It's obnoxiously huge and throwing off the page layout.
  13. He is an employee, and his bosses are doing what's best for him based on his job performance. They've said that when he's ready to go, he'll be back up.
  14. Man, I'm most pissed that none of those Cuban players were meant for the Cubs.
  15. There's a lot of evidence to show that he was bad last year largely in part to how infrequently Dusty would use him due to the team being so bad. When he was used on an even somewhat regular basis, he did pretty well. His bad periods typically came after Dusty sat him at least 3 games or more.
  16. The craps tables are calling. I can only imagine Z gambling. Imagine being the dealer when he loses.
  17. WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SIZE OF YOUR AVATAR.
  18. Random question...is that Paris Hilton in your avatar? If it is, she makes me sad. Hah yes it is. Booooooooooooooooooooooo.
  19. Random question...is that Paris Hilton in your avatar? If it is, she makes me sad.
  20. I am so danged ready for meaningful games. Moi aussi.
  21. I am and always will be a huge Woody fan, regardless of the outcome of his career. The man has too much good character to be rooted against. Get better soon, Kerry! Its tough to listen to that. You can tell the guy wants to play so bad, you can tell. NO WAI, D00000D!1!!! HE WANTZ 2 B TEH HURT AND GIT PAYZ 4 NOTHIN'1!!11!!!11!!1!11one!!!!11 Poor Kerry. I hope he has at least a little glory this year.
