I've seen too many of Jacque's throws spiked into the infield dirt 15 feet in front of him to consider him an excellent fielder. Adequate is the word I would use. He could be worse. His bat improved since his horrible start and he could certainly take a few more walks. But he'll never be known for his defense.

Double d'oh! And all of these guys like Giambi, Mussina, Sheff, etc. are true Yankees; all of them conjuring memories of Luis Sojo with their league minimum salaries and WS rings.... Triple d'oh! Please shut the hell up and play ball. Well said =D>=D>=D>=D>=D>=D> -
It is so frustrating to love this team.

I'm not sure what you mean by long term plan, but park has been taken care of very well which is why it will still function for the foreseeable future while places like Comiskey and Tiger Stadium had to be torn down. I disagree that the park has been well taken care of. The fact that it is still standing after so many years isn't sufficient proof to me. They had to install nets to keep the concrete from killing people. The steel beams are rusted to hell to the point that paint doesn't stick anymore. The bathrooms flood with regularity. Even the scoreboard is rusted. Don't get me wrong....I love the Cubs, but I think they need a new park. My comment on the long-term plan is simple....the place is old. There should be a long term plan in place to take care of the where the team will be playing in 10-15-20 years. If that plan includes Wrigley then they should be planning out projects over the long term to keep the park viable. The bleecher expantion was excellent but it was a quick decision that they had trouble getting through city council. A long term plan would help both the Cubs and the neighborhood.

A park in the burbs is a terrible idea. Baseball is a public transport game, especially in Chicago, and especially with the Cubs. Moving to the burbs is for southern california teams and small cities with no city life. There is plenty of public trans. to the burbs. The L goes as far west as OHare, you have Metra, the Elgin-OHare expy etc. I'm not saying build a park in Naperville or Bloomingdale but Rosemont, DP, Arlington Heights shouldn't be too bad. The problem with building a new Wrigley in Wrigleyville is that the team would have nowhere to play while the new park is being built.

I'll agree that Chicago is cleaner than NY, but that's not saying much. I worked in Manhattan for 2 years and have worked in the loop for 7. There are certainly places in the loop that'll make you gag. The cleanliness is superficial. I love Chicago, but it consistently does the least it has to to appear clean. The metra station for the Union Pacific NW line at Clybourne is absolutely disgusting and , unfortuntely I have to walk through that toilet every time I go to a home game. The mayor is a south side guy and if you take a close look, a lot of tax money is being spent to clean up the south side. It's certainly where it is needed most, but there are problem areas all over the city. As far as Wrigley is concerned, I love it and the bleecher improvements are outstanding. The restaurant is still a tough sell for me but the overall design is excellent. Long term, I'd like to see a park built in the burbs that is more modern, doesn't have "obstructed view", better bathrooms, and cleaner. I love the park, but it is old. Take a look at the peeling 45 coats of paint clearly visible from the outside of the park. I'd be willing to bet that no one has a long term plan for the ballpark, and that is a shame.

Or the team has quit on Dusty....

Why was Mateo taken out in the 3rd? 3IP 0h 2BB 3K I hope he's not hurt.
-
I hope he isn't reading this thread with all the comments about Glendon the baseball player. But, in the event that he is, get well soon my prayers are with you. Life >>>>>>> baseball

If you listen closely, you can hear wsox fans cheering the injury of their closest division rival.

Agreed

6 errors and 1 should-be error This team doesn't deserve to have me (or any of us)as a fan. Why am I here again?
-
Bad things happen when Dempster come into the ballgame.
-
Not an error, a low throw by Theriot, but the DP had to be turned quickly. It's a pick DLee usually makes, but didn't (and I think he'd say the same). Guaranteed, Dusty points out that play as a critical mistake by Theriot and remains silent about the pathetic D of Bynum, Lee and Izzy. Book it

That's it Dumpster, start drillin people

What happened on the failed DP?
-
Not I 1-8 4.5+ era

Ugly, ugly game

6 errors

Yup, but he'll be the first person to point out the mistakes of Murton or Theriot, in the papers no less.

Lofton pinch running for Kent after an error on Izzy Ethier flew out for the first out
