  1. It was like making a mid-season trade, dude. :-&
  2. Remember when he was gonna miss 1, maybe 2 starts? . . . yeah. I remember that too. And I don't want to have the same memories, next year. .
  3. And the guy who signed him to a two-year guaranteed contract. You should call the score. Mike Murphy would like that. GlenDONE (dee ow en ee) Rusch.
  4. You know, when Z broke the bat, I said "YES!". I liked it. I also said now watch him go and pitch lights out the rest of the game. And that's what he did.
  5. I don't mind Marmol going back down to the minors. But I hope to see him again here at the latest, next year.
  6. If Marmol had any kind of offensive ballclub behind him, he could have won today. A rough first, but he settled in and pitched well. (a sentence you would NEVER see describing Rusch)
  7. pirates royals devil rays And how much are their payrolls?
  8. That this team need some changes. We Cubs fans deserve WAAAAY better than what we have been given. I mean, can you think of ANY other ball club, if things have gotten this bad. That they wouldn't make some changes and do some major shake-ups? . . . . . . .Only the Cubs. :cry:
  9. I was just making sure it wasn't morning like 9 a.m. in the moring "when he woke up". . Just wanted to make sure he did it BEFORE he went to sleep. :lol:
  10. Busty Daker - "Hit the road jack, and don't you ever come back no more no more no MORE NO MORE!! Hit the road Jack, and don't you come back no moooo!!! Ron Santo's calling for needing a change - I need a Hero!! A Hero to come in and make these bunch of losers play baseball. And he's gotta be tough and hes gotta be rough and he's gotta kick JH and DB outta sight. I need a heRO!!
  11. Expect Dusty to complain about annoucers soon. He might a got away with it with Stone. But if he seriously did that, they'd run him out of town. $*#% I just wish they'd run him outta town anyway.
  12. Len "Cubs get a break". .. . Um. . . does it 7#<#*% matter?
  13. Are you serious? He has only pitched for one game, lol. I like what I saw the first time, but chill. Remember what Glendon Rusch did last year? (6-2) All I am saying is, this could be beginners luck. Lets hope I'm wrong! This is the Marmol BandWGN!! Do NOT bring up fatty into this!! I'm serious!!
  14. Marmol is pitching tommorow. So bump goes this thread. Watching Marmol is one of the very few reasons I care to watch Cubs baseball anymore.
  15. I actually equate this to the "play Murton vs. platton with Bynum" issue, only I think this is 10 times worse. Starting pitchers have a much more direct affect than an OF, and I personally think Guzman has more upside than even Murton, although the last point is arguable. Their is zero upside to starting Rusch on any level. Sure, we'll never know about this game's outcome (who care at this point??), but under no circumstances should Rusch be starting games with the young talented SPs we have waiting for their auditions. Exactly. Might as well start guzman or hill every 5 days and see if one of them can finally get over their bump and start pitching well. Both of them could be good starting pitchers and Rusch has taken far to many games away from them getting ML starts under their belt. Start them now, when it doesn't matter. This is the type of season where you give your up and comers some experience. Any doofus can see that. Cept Hendry and Baker I suppose. .
  16. Rusch, unfortunately, is going to be involved in the Cubs immediate (next week), near-term (the rest of the season) and medium-term (next season) future. I knew someone was going to say that. But you know what I meant according to "future". .
  17. That's what irks me. We ALL knew Guzman was a better choice. Let's see. Rusch Sucks - Guzman has had some struggles but has been way better than rusch. Rusch will always suck, Guzman could be in the Cubs future, Rusch is not. Give the rookie some MLB experience? Or the washed up vet with a 7.8 ERA a chance to give up 9 runs? ? ? Hmmmm. . . . Rusch Guzman Rusch Guzman Rusch Guz Rusch Guz, Guz Rusch Rusch Guz, Guz Guz Guz, Rusch Rusch Rusch, Guz Rusch Guzman Rusch, Rusch Guzman Guzman. . . Hmmmmm. Hard choice.
  18. Could not agree with you more. It's nice to watch a game without stressing. Now it's just funny... Probably the best thing about this season is that most of us don't care anymore, thus reducing stress levels. I only wish Santo could do it. But it's impossible for him.
  19. Could not agree with you more. It's nice to watch a game without stressing. Now it's just funny... I'm just in Rookie Watch mode. When Marshall and Marmol pitch, I watch out of interest.
  20. I feel some joy over what happened. Is this the tingly laughing inside feeling you got when you just stop caring? I laugh and dustworthless and ruschworthless.
  21. In before the lock.
