    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.

    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.

    Clearly Ryno was groomed for the role by Hendry and if he goes then there is no guaranty that Ryno is the next manager. Is Sandberg as terrible as everyone seems to think? He could be. I just know he has said things about sacrifice bunts in the past and everyone subsequently hated him, but does anyone have actual insights on his managerial style? Just wondering. He thinks players should "respect the game" and "play the game the right way" so people here hate him.

    So how old were you when you suffered the massive head trauma?

    The meathead fans that make up the overwhelming majority of Cubs fans, per Nuts&Gum.

    %$#@!%$%$(*&^%#@!(*&^$!(*&^$)@!)^!$#@ Why must the Cubs always suck ass against the Astros? :banghead:

    Well at least I get to watch the Astros broadcast tonight & tomorrow night. I guess that's better than nothing.

    I guess I'm dreaming, but I was holding out a slim bit of hope that the Yankees/Mets/Red Sox might get desperate enough to trade for Soriano at the deadline. Those teams have the money to blow and Sori's had a very good year. And I understand that Lee and Lilly are in the last year of their respective contracts. With them it would be more passing up a chance to pick up some prospects than a real salary dump.

    I'm assuming that you mean for the delicious pastry, because that's a trade I could get behind. What if it's for Felix Pie and an apple pie? Throw in some ice cream to that and you have a deal! What flavor?
