    I was in HS at the time, but I remember one of the teachers coming out to baseball practice to let me know what happened. We were both huge Cubs fans and he had to share the news with me.

    Bulls to bring in Tracy McGrady for a workout: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-spt-0722-bulls-chicago--20100721,0,1967049.story

    Well you certainly couldn't have started him the day after a night game. Sheesh, everyone knows that.

    Did they intentionally walk Colvin to get to Castro?????

    Sounds like I should be glad that I didn't see that AB.

    I live 15 minutes from the Rangers ballpark but I am in the Astros blackout area. :banghead:

    I assume Sori's fly out to CF was shallow if Fukudome couldn't score from 3rd?

    Should we expect all your posts to be pimping that website? But that site is Chicago Sports. All The Time.

    Not exactly. We had the opportunity but Girardi was pretty open in saying that he was looking to rejoin the Yankees organization. As a GM, I'm not looking for a manager who has an eye on another job. All that said, Ricketts is going to be a terrible owner. This is why you don't let fans buy teams. They don't have an effing clue of how to run a sports team.

    Ho-ly... CRAP! The irony! It's just too much! Someone effed up with the quotes. I never posted that. daske17 posted that in response to my question about us having the chance to hire Girardi 4 years ago.

    I wish this Aramis would have shown up a few months ago. Oh well, at least that kid is going to get the W even if the Astros manage to hang on.

    embarrassing

    I am really beginning to hate this team. Maybe it's because I have to listen to Astros fans in Texas crow about kicking our asses over and over when they can't beat anyone else.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we have the opportunity to hire Girardi 4 years ago but instead went with Piniella because he had more experience?

    So glad you added your wit & wisdom to the topic, my good man. I'll stop adding mine if you stop adding yours Gotta love the Welcoming Committee around these parts.

    But they still each have won 1 World Series title. Quite honestly, that's all that really matters. Anything can happen in the playoffs. Weaver's 1971 team was a good all-around team that hit well (1st in OPS), pitched well (1st in ERA), and played good defense. In the World Series, they pitched well, hit horribly, and committed nine errors in seven games. It happens. They should have given his team ribbons for that. :good: So it's his fault that some of his players that hit very well in the regular season and in the ALCS had a poor seven games in the World Series? It's his fault that his defense that was good all season kicked the ball around like a soccer team in the World Series? He managed a very good team to 101 wins that year, but you're right, it's crap because his offense and defense slumped in a seven-game series. What is the difference between the '71 Orioles or the '07 or '08 Cubs?

    When I hear it, I think about all those poor morons who walk up to the plate with scuba gear on, hit the ball with their kayak paddles and then run into center field before collapsing to the ground. I wish they'd stop playing the game wrong. Is that supposed to be funny? No. Mission accomplished

    Championships 1,480 - 1,060 for a .583 winning percentage. #20 all time in wins and #9 all time in winning percentage. One World Series title and three World Series losses. Lou Piniella 1,826-1,691 for a .519 winning percentage with 1 World Series Title and 3 Manager of the Year awards. Sure his winning % is not as good as Weaver's, but he managed the frigging Rays for 3 years. He has more wins than Weaver and as many titles. Look around here to see how he is thought of as a manager.

    Earl Weaver must be a managing god around here.
