    My only point is that people should stop overreacting after 3 pretty good, though not ace-like and 3 poor, though not Rusch-like starts. It just looks foolish in retrospect. Evidently 8 shut out innings of 2 hit ball doesn't qualify as "Ace-like" Incredible.

    Wait. What?

    Murton in the 2 hole makes BigSlick a happy boy. Murton leading off would make BigSlick a VERY happy boy. Use him like the Red Sox are using Kevin Youkilis. OBP machine- leadoff. Unfortunately Murton isn't quite as good as Youkilis.

    No he sucks because he plays like a pussycat and has no toughness.

    Did you think a game between two woefully inept franchises merits more than that?

    And we finish the season at .500. I don't even want that, I'd rather we tank the season and have Dusty fired. I don't want him coming out smelling like roses because the team banded together and overachieved.

    Cubs lose 14-13 after blowing a 13-0 lead when a Black cat holding a baseball in its mouth and with headphones blazing over its ears bites off Sean Marshall's arm. Oh yeah, a goat is videotaping it.

    Adam Dunn was on Stephen A. Smith's show today. Smith, at his "barely above mentally handicapped" interview was fairly boring. But i was captivated by Dunn, his goatee, and his double chin. How does a man who bats sub .250 get on base 40% of the time? Because he controls his strike zone. That and he either hits a homer, walks, or strikes out.

    all that proves is that everyone else has been equally or more awful. When relating his current numbers to his own career stats, you have to realize his career--especially the last two years--has been pretty mediocre/bad. So the fact he's improved relative to his own suckiness doesn't mean he isn't bad. That said, I agree that Jones--relative to what we'd hoped he might contribute--hasn't been our biggest problem, and it probably isn't fair that he's received so much of the fans' anger. I think its the fact that Jones does it in such spectacularly horrible fashion. The aforementioned double plays...Diving 10 feet in front of a ball to relinquish a triple to Miguel Cabrera...swinging at pitches waaaaaaay out of the strike zone. He certainly gets creative. BTW, anyway you slice it, .310 OBP is pretty terrible.

    :shock: Ah, jeez, this one almost makes sense! If Murton bunts at any point during this game barring a 8th or 9th inning 1 run deficit, I will be incredibly pissed.
  11. BigSlick
    I loathe the Cardinals as well...could it be that we play them 3x as much as the Sox in a season and that their performance has a bearing on the fate of the Cubs? Nah, couldn't be.
  12. BigSlick
    Paul Davis is a priss.
  13. BigSlick
    Rejoice! The only pleasure I can get out of this season is seeing Marshall, Cedeno and Murton succeed. BTW, Don't like where he places Barrett. We've all seen the splits, and the higher up the lineup Michael Barrett is, the better his performance.
  14. BigSlick
    Yea, like he has done for the past two off-seasons. Instead of correcting problems he's either magnified them or utterly rejected that they exist. Jim, Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son http://lancemannion.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/bluto.jpg Hmm... I dunno, I see a little Hendry in Bluto.

    I laugh everytime I see that. Props to the peopl who set it up. It just makes me proud that so many people can coordinate a message so filled with hate. :lol:
  17. BigSlick
    Nothing further, your Honor. I don't have contrived hatred for a group of mercenaries who play on the other side of the town either. I care about them about as much as I care about, the Bluejays, for instance. I also like the Bears more than the Cubs. Point is, only the most passionately devoted among us can muster this kind of hate toward an opponent in another league. Bears guys need not apply. Understood. I'm not gonna argue over my loyalty here, so whatever.
  18. BigSlick
    I know this doesn't commit him to anything, but... Hasn't he expressed desire to retire after this year, record or not? He seems to be on his last leg(s) as it is.
  19. BigSlick
    There was something cathartic in reading that. Thank you.
  20. BigSlick
    Unacceptable, its his job to guarantee a modicum of success when we go throw our "transitional" period. THere is no reason to blow money on sub-par players. Either go through a terrible transition period that low budget teams go through (A la the Marlins) or just load us up. I don't like it. They tried to play off this season as a potential playoff team.
  21. BigSlick
    Hendry is exactly right, 37 games is far too few to give up on the season... But with his actions, he is guaranteeing that it is already over. (Changes must be made!)
  22. BigSlick
    I'm gonna be serious and say that if a sweep by the Nats over our Cubs has any bearing on Dusty + Co.'s firing....then I want us to lose. Unfortunately it looks like these guyz's jobs are fairly secure. Might as well win.
  23. BigSlick
    Fixed. Everyone else is expendable to me.
  24. BigSlick
    Hahahah do you remember last year when Buehrle said the Rangers were cheating with lights in the stands? Come on, man. He just wants attention, clearly.
  25. BigSlick
    This I can agree with. Most. Annoying. Announcers. Ever. Good guys 3, bad guys 0. Who does that? Thats just stupid. EDIT: WHenever Hawk says something ridiculously stupid, DJ somehow backs him up with some ludicrous explanation, DJ usually gives Hawk verbal fellatio. Btw, they don't know what OBP is. THEY SERIOUSLY DONT. I can't stand the "He gone" line that one of them always says. Like bc2k said, I watch to stay informed. I have MLB.TV so if I'm bored the first thing I do is look if a game is on. If the Sox game happens to be the best game being played at that time then I'll watch it. But only then. And when they play the Cubs. Do you get TBS? If so, how often do you watch Braves games? I kinda have a soft spot in my heart for them. Gotta respect a franchise that has successfully defended their crown for 14 some years, if not for some embarrassment in the playoffs. Plus they play good baseball.
