I don't know the stat's based on contract, but has there ever been a bigger flop (other then a player getting injured and not being able to play) then Jones? I mean he was very good in ATL but this year with the Dodgers, wow.....just wow. JR

So anyone heard anything further? Is A-Ram back in the lineup today?

Another reason we need another starter. Come on CC. I saw this coming, seemed like a lot of people completely expected him to come back and throw in the majors this year and be a productive pitcher. I just don't see it happening and have not seen it happening for awhile. Anyone got the batting stats CC has? I don't know why but for some reason, I am worried that he would get hurt running the bases like a guy named Wang. :grin:

He did it better (for one night) then A-Ram. Not since Santo has there been a 2 HR 6 RBI night by a Cubs 3rd basemen. Correct me if I am wrong. :grin: Aramis had a 2 HR 6 RBI game last year, a 2 HR 7 RBI game in 2006. HA that is what I get for listening to ESPN. They said no Cubs 3rd basemen had done it since Santo. Niceee.......

Ticket prices from the Cubs isn't the issue, its the groups that buy them and up the price 200%, and then we pay :glare:

LOL this is still on my DVR. I get chills listening to the call. :beg:

Hilarious, both the video and the fact that a guy that put together this video couldn't take the comments coming from Cub's fans. He can dole it but he can't take it.

+1, this is the only "we will not win with...." thread that needs to stay alive. Marquis just plain cannot pitch. I can't believe his performance has been given so much slack.

And him chasing Dero to the dugout when Mark complained about a pitch is another instance of these umps going above themselves. I am so sick of umpires thinking that they need to that and make a point that they won't be yelled at. You never used to see umpires follow a player half way to the dug out after he made a comment about some calls and turned and walked away. Again....are they not supposed to diffuse the situation instead of follow someone and instigate more? Pathetic if you ask me, call the game and go home.

Ok, i will give you that.....but the Cubs have held on to both thinking they were the next great thing in CF and neither are amounting to it. If we continue to give Pie "time" he will be the 5-6 year player CP was and still be doing the same thing he was when first brought up. Swinging too big for himself.

Dare to compare.....if it hasn't already been said. Didn't we once have a fast, above average CF'er that couldn't hit because he swung for the fences everytime he was at the plate?? Can we say CP? Sorry to say, the once promising Pie has lost his luster. We need a better all around center fielder and the Cubs, as usual, stuck to their guns and held on to Pie until he has no trade value. I would love to eat my words, seeing as I followed him a lot while down at Iowa, but I just don't see him turning it around. I know he is only 23, but he has been around quite awhile and he won't make it in the show until he shortens up the swing and concentrates on getting on base, trying to steal his way around, and letting the big boppers hit him in. Heck, we all know where he would go if the Cubs did let him go. He would join the current rehash of the 04 Cubs to the east, with Baker, Bako, Pattersen, and Mercker. Then there is former teammate Hairston that the Red just called up too. JR

Is it sad that my heart almost stopped when I read this initially?

I have been wondering about that too. I liked Barrett alot but when he took that shot he really hasn't been the same since.

Man do I wish I lived in Chicago and could just head to the stadium. JR It's not a stadium, it's a field. Remember Jeff Gordon and Wrigley Stadium? :D LOL you are right, I do remember. Now lets just not let anyone else notice what I said.
