Its a beautiful melting pot of patient and punchless, the powerful and impatient, and the punchless and impatient

Give me 2005 Lee just for a little bit

One of the best series ever: Celtics win 4-3
BigSlick replied to cubswin2009's topic in Other Sports
Yeah I can only quote this in agreement. Its a shame I sort of missed the glory years. I remember watching "the shot" in real time though, that was awesome. :) At least the Bulls are giving us one helluva entertaining series, the last game was one of the best basketball games I've ever watched. -
Really shouldn't be that surprised that our offense will look like this much trash without Lee, Ramirez and (mostly) Bradley Still, it feels like crap.
-
I have some distaste for players that bounce around the league as much as Sheffield has. He's pretty much played on half the entire MLB franchises. Doesn't diminish his abilities or his accomplishments, but theres a 'mercenary' quality to it, that I know, all MLB players don't really have much loyalty to any one team (and shouldn't, since teams do their best to exploit players), but I still like seeing the occasional Chipper (Or even Zambrano!) who spends his entire career on one team. Unfortunately, Milton Bradley is practically in the 'mercenary' category as well.

The Yankees might have a new Coors field on their hands.
-
I've had Theriot on my team all season but have kept him on my bench in a superstition that it'll keep his red-hot start alive as long as possible I'm starting him soon though, just out of necessity. Beware.

hate to be this upset about one game but this is a travesty of a ball game
-
Games like this make me want to commit ritualistic suicide

This is an ironic post, right?

4/15 - Bulls (41-40) vs. Toronto (32-49) - 7 pm, CSN
BigSlick replied to David's topic in Other Sports
I was really disappointed by the defensive effort in the first half against Toronto. I didn't watch much of the second half, but still, its pretty inexcusable to drop this one when you had the 6th seed in front of you and you are playing at home. Whatever. -
Well that kinda sucks just one of those days
-
It would be almost as fulfilling as that Soto game-tying 3 run donger against the Brewers late September last year
-
F it, sweep the Cardinals and we all forget about this game by Monday Good news: The Cardinals called up some random schlub to start against us on Friday Bad news: When was the last time the Cubs actually punished some AAA starter that had to make an emergency start?
-
Still pissed off that we gave up a pitching gem to Marquis
-
The Cubs are putting together some weak at-bats against a lame and notoriously wild pitcher Though we have 2 of our best hitters out, there isn't much life in this lineup right now
-
Lol, a combined Duke and Michigan player would be one of my, theoretically, most hated players ever we'll see how this turns out
-
Soriano cracking homers like nothing I like a healthy Soriano, and he hasn't had a terrible eye either
-
Lol, thinking about the best situation being Guzman or Heilman given the closers role
-
Less of an indictment of Gregg and more a celebration of how strong our bullpen is looking this year except for the Rule V pick, we'll see how he turns out
-
No. That said, I'd probably rather Guzman close than Gregg, but that would never fly. It would be a slap in the face to Marmol. It sucks that people think "closer" is this incredibly important and prestigious pseudo-position. We've been posting on this board for years now, you don't have to give me that speech. I understand that if we had a real 'ace' reliever or a 'fireman' or something like that it would be pretty important, but as it is his job on the team is very important.
-
Mediocrity would be preferable to what he's doing at the moment
-
Ah, so if he starts taking hitting suggestions from Lee, then?
-
Him + Geo coming back + Rockies pitching = we could be in for some fireworks
-
If Kosuke really has figured something out...
BigSlick replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
And that Milton Bradley is practically injured every other game If Kosuke turns into what we'd hope for, it'll pretty much just balance out these two knuckle-heads and the loss of DeRosa
