    Amen to that! I guess Ron Burgundy wasn't available to do Pad's games??? He had the best gig in baseball. Now he'll be exposed!

    When I read that, I thought what a "spinmeister" this guy is. . .

    So what if the Cubs and Trib go their own ways? WGN Radio can still carry the games like they do now (which AM/FM station would get the broadcast rights?). . . the owner will STILL have a cash cow. I would only say that IF the Cubs are sold to another owner that the Schaumburg / Hoffman Estates / Addison Cubs become more viable than the Chicago Cubs playing at Wrigley Field.

    Isnt Dusty on that? I wouldn't recommend it at all, unless you're in for a good laugh. Yup, I'm into comedy. I'm also a discerner of good baseball information, so I can tune him out, dude!

    My bad. Won't happen again. :oops: Not a problem. Is there a link to a web site for this article? If so, people can read the entire article at the source site without running afoul of copyright issues. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/cs-070307mitchell,1,787823.column?coll=chi-sportstop-hed

    I can't remember where I read this, so I can't back it up at the moment, but somewhere there is an article detailing the evidence that the reason why the Cubs paid Murcer more than what Madlock was asking is because Wrigley wasn't a fan of black people, especially black people who had the temerity to ask for the money they thought they deserved. Racism. One of the many reasons why the Cubs have gone 98 years without winning a championship. I find that hard to believe. He stuck with Ernie Banks as long as he did. He stuck with Billy Williams as long as he did. By the time Fergie Jenkins was in a position to ask for a lot of $$$, the rest of the team (Beckert, Santo, Williams, etc.) was either too old or no good. He gave the team a shot up until 1973 to produce. It wasn't going to produce and Mr. Wrigley wasn't going to pay anyone big $$$. He got a good return for Jenkins from Texas (Madlock), but once he got good enough he shipped him off too. Murcer was towards the end of his career. If this were true, he would have kept Rick Monday too. That didn't happen. Look at the black/latino's he got in return for most of the trades: Manny Trillo, Ivan DeJesus, Bill Madlock, etc. Jose Cardenal was a fan favorite too.

    There was a quote in the Trib this morning from Jim Hendry saying that he and Miller agreed that if he doesn't win the 5th starting job, Hendry will find a mutually acceptable home elsewhere.

    Um....... http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000GKLVB6.01-AVRR6WAP2O9Z1._SCMZZZZZZZ_V64588193_.jpg http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000B9E35S.01-AVRR6WAP2O9Z1._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg I think he means he expected them all to have them by now. These, to me, are the worst excuse for any uniform. I think (as much as I hate to admit it), the Yankees do the best as far as home/away uniforms. No black shirts!!!

    Jim Frey, Hawk Harrelson. . . yes, we've had some bad GM's in this town.

    Here's a good article about one that got away. . . I remember that game at the end of the 1976 season and Jack Brickhouse going nuts when Madlock got the hit at the end of the game to win the batting title. Came to the Cubs in the trade with the Rangers for Fergie Jenkins and was traded himself for Bobby Murcer. He was one of the few Cubs that I could be proud of. There weren't many: Rick Monday, Bruce Sutter, Bill Buckner. I still don't buy Wrigley gum. Fred Mitchell Santo's successor a good hitter himself Published March 8, 2007 This other old Cub won four National League batting titles. He wound up a 15-year career with a .305 batting average. And if he had played for the Cubs more than three seasons, former third baseman Bill Madlock insists he could have been even more productive.

    Is there someone on the Cubs coaching staff that is likely to go to Atlanta to replace him?

    This is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read the game summary in the Sun-Times (from Chris DeLuca's column): Can any of us really imagine Sweet Lou even using the word "Dude"?
  16. tubbfan
    That's a moment that will haunt me forever. I was driving home listening to that game when it happened. I could only imagine what was going through his mind.

    In a rational world, those concerns would have begun the minute they named Looper as their #4 starter. Yeah, but this is St. Louis...there is still scattered talk of Rick Ankiel winning 15 games this year. Scattered talk of Ankiel winning 15 games this year? Is that via GWRBI? Making an assist from the outfield? I hear Steve Blass is trying to make a comeback. . .

    Seems to me, Bruce doesn't have a lot to write about . . .
