    I had it on, and muted, and was thinking that futbol announcer looked awfully familiar, and I don't watch much footy.
  2. goonys evil twin
    Do keepers normally look that unathletic?
  3. goonys evil twin
    Is that really him? Where is this game being played?

    Micah, how quickly after a major leaguer gets injured do you, or other prospects, start thinking about how it could affect your career? I know you don't openly wish for injuries to others, and you probably feel bad for a guy that does go down, but at some point you have to think about what kind of positive can come from it, including a potential call-up to the majors.

    So you expected Jones to be a piss poor defender who routinely gets picked off?

    :pulls up a lawn chair, six pack, and waits for Goony's diatribe: :pint: Alright, I'm ready. All I'm going to say is I hope Zambrano never pitches in another pre or mid-season tournament of this style ever again. And that goes for any Cubs pitcher.

    does this refer to my saying rectum? Darn near killed him.

    I think Freddie Bynum is as good as he'll ever be.

    That's just silly. Going to a Cubs game and booing Cubs players is bad enough. But you are going in have already dediced in advance who you are going to boo, that's worse. And then you pick out two guys who are playing poorly and leave off another. If anybody deserves to be booed, it's the players who makes the same stupid mental mistakes over and over. I have a tough time booing performance. But it's not that hard to boo guys who routinely get picked off base, miss cut-off men and roll the ball in from the outfield. Baseball is a game of failure. You win on the margins. Slumps happen, and have to be tolerated, as annoying as they are. Mental mistakes should not be tolerated, and repeated mental mistakes absolutely cannot be tolerated.

    Yes, he has.

    The Cubs are 16-22 right now, and have never been to the World Series in my lifetime. I don't really have to search very far to find reasons to complain. But for the record, yes, they have done things that brought me happiness. Ironically enough, I was pretty happy when Hendry got the job as GM. I liked most of what he did with the minor leagues, and I thought his elevation to the top job would have cut down on all the worthless overpaid washed up veterans that were rotating in and out of the clubhouse year after year. I enjoy every victory, as well as any game I get to attend, since I only get to about 6-7 Cubs games a year on average. I also enjoy snide little remarks like yours about what type of fan I am. You also like chicken wings. That's true, sometimes I forget.

    Are you just going to ignore the answer? Aramis's past is vital to the discussion. Fans aren't coming into this season blind to the past, unless they purposefully try to pretend Jacque Jones didn't suck for two years or that Juan Pierre has been terrific. Aramis gets more slack because he's built up equity with Cubs fans. It's running thin about now, but I'm not going to tell you when people are going to turn on him. Some already have.

    i agree, its not his fault he dosent get any work because the rest of his teammates suck the bleachers have also gotten to be really annoying, its no longer fun sitting there. the people are all [expletive] to begin with, add beer and its unbearable. 99 percent know nothing about baseball and talk out of their ass. seriosuly hearing Adam Dunn Sucks, Brian Giles sucks ect ect ect gets old really fast when they are beating us. You can insult Jacque all you want. Pick on Ramirez's slow start. Complain about the rookies. But I implore you. Do not put any blame on beer. Beer didn't ask to be poured in Wrigley Field. Beer didn't ask to hang out with idiots in the bleachers. We knew coming in what beer could and could not do (that's a lie, there is nothing beer can't do), and beer lived up to its contract. This is not a beer problem.

    I am actually looking for reasons to be satisfied with what the Cubs are doing, and can't find any. You don't have to look for reasons to complain, unless you're happy with 16-22 and no World Series titles in your lifetime.

    Seriously? The first was a slider at his porch. The second made him skip the rope to his shin. Two others were elbow high. what I meant was that all the pitches were aimed at him, not the strike zone. He stands in the strike zone.
  17. goonys evil twin
    Come on...get real....7 runs?? Their pitchers will get so tired from running the bases that they'll let-up, and the defenders will just not have any interest in charging the soft ground balls with an 80 run lead.
  18. goonys evil twin
    I was a little surprised with how composed he remained after guys started stepping out of the box on him, I think in the 8th. He was done long before that, having lost much velocity. And he looked like he overthrew a couple that missed badly to make up for that loss. But I was thinking he'd try to hit a couple guys.
  19. goonys evil twin
    Yes. Next question. Is TO going to play in Philly again.
  20. goonys evil twin
    That is not how you run a successful franchise. 1) Closers who have closed before are overvalued. Just because they were given the ball in the 9th and racked up saves doesn't mean they were good pitchers. 2) The trade was bad enough. But the signing was a year later, after Alf's bad first season with the club. Hendry panicked around arbitration time and overpaid to keep Alfonseca instead of letting him test the market. 3) That was not the going rate. Others, better relievers, got less than Alf got. Hendry set his own market and overpaid his own bad player. A trend that has continued throughout his time as GM.

    Run to their little heart's desire.
  22. goonys evil twin
    Are you or are you not the person who tried to take credit for making me "look like an idiot" in an earlier post? Talk about taking out frustrations. As for the rest of your post: Why is it that everytime somebody has something to say about one player, they are told they have to say the same thing about everybody else? No, Jones isn't the only bad thing about this team. But he's certainly one of them. His defense and baserunning antics should not be tolerated, let alone defended.
  23. goonys evil twin
    I don't know who JOCK JONES is.
  24. goonys evil twin
    He gets a pass because since he's been a Cub he's been really, really good. He's built up enough benefit of doubt. Jones had been bad for 3 years, and hasn't been good with us. So ARam carries no blame for the current funk because he's been good before? Gee, that make sense. No, Aramis doesn't receive the same level of anger directed at him because he's actually done some very good things in a Cubs uniform before. It makes perfect sense to anybody who is willing to look at the situation with any sort of logic. He carries plenty of blame for the Cubs bad play. But his bad play has been almost entirely with his bat. He hasn't thrown groundballs from the OF, missed cut-off man and gotten routinely picked off 2nd base. No matter how hard you try and dismiss those pick-offs as no big deal, they are a big deal. It says a lot about a player and his committment to improving when he makes the same mental mistake over and over.
  25. goonys evil twin
    Nobody is acting like he killed somebody. But your pathetic defense of him for "getting doubled off base a few times" is laughable. Jacque Jones was a terrible signing. Jacque Jones has played very poorly for the Cubs. Jacque doesn't have any kind of positive track record with the Cubs. And Jacque whined about fan treatment from day 1. He deserves a huge share of the blame. And trying to defend one pathetic player by citing the pathetic play of others is a terrible way to deflect negative attention from that player.
