Rusch to DL, Aardsma up
Banedon replied to Jon's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Mike Murphy stole your joke on the Score, man. He asked George Offman if Rusch went on the DL will pulled fat. Offman just pretty much just stammered. -

ROFL...just DFA him already! -
Why don't we have every NSBB member wrap up and ship our copies of Moneyball to Jim Hendry with a little note asking him politely to read it? Maybe then he will sit down, read a book and get some semblance of OBP. There are better books for Jim to read than Moneyball. I'd prefer he start with the Hidden Game of Baseball and work from there. I'm betting he'd dismiss Moneyball out of hand anyway.

Interesting Maddux Article from the LA Times
Banedon replied to danonwaveland's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Glavine also only started 25 games in 1994, and Smoltz only started 21. Remember, that was the year shortened by the strike that wiped out the postseason. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. #-o -
John Clayton should be posting a Bears camp report later today on ESPN also.

Ok...that I've heard. That's not what that article would have you believe though. -
Agreed. Please post snippets or summaries of the articles only. Boo big brother.... 8-[

Interesting Maddux Article from the LA Times
Banedon replied to danonwaveland's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Is that true? I thought he had been on the DL in Atlanta. He only started 25 games in '94... http://espn-i.starwave.com/media/apphoto/339bebc6-59f0-403e-b124-130fda08b6e0.jpg -

Nice thing about the board software...it recognizes a link when it sees it. :D -
No worries...the Tribune tells me Urlacher quit golfing this summer, so he wouldn't get hurt. No depth necessary. :P

I'm a little irritated at the Orton reports. I was a pretty vocal backer of his, and really thought he'd be improving by the start of this season. I think all the partying, the long hair, the beard...all gives the impression that he's lazy and not working hard. I don't actually know if that's the case, but that's sure the impression I'm getting, and I'm losing interest in him.

I tried to send him an email to argue against his Piniella article this morning, but got "recipient name is not recognized" undeliverable message from the suntimes email server.... :roll:
-
His relationship is running hot right now... :wink:
-
With who; Webb or Thom? both at the same time. Zambrano and Farnsworth both made me a smile a LOT last night during that 2003 montage during the rain delay.

Wood: No surgury; Wants to return next year as a reliever
Banedon replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think Wood would only be asked back to the Cubs at a serious discount, and probably with mucho incentives. If he wants to come back that badly, I'm all for it. He doesn't hurt this team as much if he's planned as a reliever IMO. I just want 5 healthy starters....I know I know...I ask a lot. -
8/2 Ariz @ Cubs 7:05pm CT WGN/XM 186 **Rain Out***

Did they cut off that 2003 tribute? Booo. I wanted to see the rest of it...it was making me happy about Cubs baseball for a brief moment. -
8/2 Ariz @ Cubs 7:05pm CT WGN/XM 186 **Rain Out***

Bruce is a TV star!! Get that handsome devil an NSBB t-shirt for moments like this! :D -
dusty is aware of the concept of air travel, no? guzman wouldn't have to ride a mule from las vegas to chicago. Dusty is taking the stereotypes that his own behavior has created, and exceeding them with every passing day. I've never seen a manager so completely incompetent, and the fact that he fools so freaking many people is beyond mystifying.

Allow me to add further fun to this thread:

I like that idea, too. .. .. I just haven't figured out who wuld be our lead off hitter. Our fearless leaders would be tempted to put Izturis there. Or sign Soriano and use him there.... Soriano will be looking to move back to 2B though which does nothing to help our OF. I'd rather keep Izturis/Cedeno up the middle and try for a big bat in the OF. If we decide that Murton isn't the answer in LF, I wouldn't mind seeing Hendry go after Mench if he's rather cheap and then go all-out for a RF. Why not go for Soriano at 2b AND a big bat in the OF?
-
Cubs.com says Izturis is batting 2nd...:roll:
-
I wish Dusty were man enough to make a statement like that. How much of a man does it make Hendry for him to make that statement, and then continue his non-OBP, fast, toolsy player philosophy that has utterly failed this year? Jimbo's an incompetent dumbass, but I respect him for taking some responsibility for his mistakes. Is responsibility simply apologizing? I guess I'm not impressed until he fixes those mistakes...and I've not seen any signs that is close to happening.

Interesting comment from Maddux
Banedon replied to Sweet Swinging Billy's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If I were king for a day, Dusty and his entire coaching staff would be on the gallows. (not chris spier ofcourse) :) So the only person you would keep is the drunk? Didn't you see Hoosiers?
