    I have a heck of a lot more interest in this game than the game vs. the Padres .....thanks for the link.
  2. Big Fergie J
    At the rate we are going I'll be starting the GameDay Thread a lot quicker than I planned. Stop the ineptitude please.......like tonight !

    Great article. It certainly makes my attempt to criticize Ramirez earlier in this thread look quite....ummm...errr...feeble. Thanks.

    What do you consider leadership and how does it help a team win ball games? I don't care if Aramis uses his teammates' toothbrushes, dresses like a woman, and speaks using only farting noises in the clubhouse. All I care about is his regaining his usual form on the field, and we have no reason to believe he won't. How would taking on a leadership role change the club's production on the field? Is he going to teach Jacque how to hit lefties or give him baserunning advice (don't run to third base on fly balls would be a nice start)? Is he going to help Z with his control or help Rusch quit giving up gopher balls? Maybe he can show Pierre how to get the ball out of the infield or work with Ronny on throws to first? Leadership takes on many different forms.....it doesn't have to be a vocal "rah-rah" guy but leadership by example is something Ramirez could do....like running the basepaths hard, more quality at bats, etc. Leadership does not imply holding Juan Pierre's hand....these are well-compensated professional ballplayers and when an All-Star like Lee is hurt everyone else has to pick up the slack.

    While I agree that ARam isn't the only problem, he doesn't seem to want to take on any type of leadership role w/ DLee hurt. I have no firsthand knowledge of course but just watching him in the dugout he seems to just be looking around at all the younger guys and saying to himself "Whats going on here". I like the guy but his work ethic leaves a little to be desired IMHO.

    Sorry man. I guess I should've looked for something a little more positive. If the mods want to delete this thread thats OK

    Looking back: On this day in 2002, the Dodgers' Odalis Perez faced the minimum 27 batters in a 10-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Cubs' only hit was a bad-hop single by Corey Patterson in the seventh inning, and he was erased on a double play. Perez threw 91 pitches, 62 for strikes. Via the LA Times This is not how I want today's game to go. Go Cubs !
  19. Big Fergie J
    That is great news if it is accurate....here's hoping Having Kerry back for the start of May would be a shot in the arm.. I wanna see big #34 on the hill...

    I think MLB.com has the audio of Vin Scully's call.

    I was just reading about Rick Monday and was gonna post it here. I believe the Houston Astros are doing something to honor him. Politics aside, I'm surprised the Cubs aren't doing something at the game tonight ....seeing as he was a Cub then....maybe they are...

    3 in a row tonight ! Go Cubs.... Hope the game time temp is loooowwww.
