    He looked directly into the camera in a recent interview and it was very unpleasant.

    USA was pressuring for a while, but France has had quite a few chances the last couple minutes.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    USA is up 1-0 right now.
  5. jersey cubs fan
    That would be much worse.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Only 6 out of 10 if you properly utilize PA. :D

    Right, but if Gorz was not an essential part of the team at the time of the trade, why is he all of a sudden now? Because the team is so bad and people start looking for more things to blame. Gorzelanny goes from being Gorzelanny to the lost salvation given away for nothing. Not at all. Gorzelanny was a nice player for the Cubs and they gave him away for nothing. It didn't make much sense at all at the time and it came back to bite them when they decided to go into the season with no 6th starter and needed two. It's also BS that people keep offering the injury excuse as to why the Cubs suck when the Cubs put themselves in the situation they are in.

    And they were bad because the Cubs didn't go into the season with a viable 6th starter.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    You are probably right. It was a lateral move more or less, but because Selig made it people get up in arms. The idea of AL and NL taking turns in the draft was also very stupid.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    We aren't paid executives in charge of the decision making. I'm just curious what has changed that took people from thinking it was a great trade at the time to thinking now that it was a terrible trade at the time. If Gorz wasn't the greatly superior option at the time, what has changed to make him clearly that at the time of the trade? They got rid of all the other options as well and had no others. Most people assumed they wouldn't go into the season without a 6th starter.

    It just alternated, right? It alternated prior to 2003. that's what i thought. so how is that better than letting the ASG determine it? i don't really understand that gripe. It's a gripe because people really hate Selig. There really is no perfect way to do it. The all star game is a pretty dumb one though.

    I think bunting is becoming much more acceptable - which is why I pointed out that there are beneficial times to use it. I'm also much more open to players like Pierre, Campana, etc., laying down drag bunts and the like since they have very realistic chances to reach base that way. It shouldn't be done all the time, but as a strategic weapon it can be useful. Sure, if you suck like Campana you have to bunt. But we're talking about actual major league caliber hitters.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, they are going to be able to make a substantial in season move this year.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    It just alternated, right?
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Because they won, silly.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    When your other options are storing a veteran with a guaranteed contract and a bad attitude in AAA (something anybody with half a brain would have know would not work) or luring old guys out of retirement, you sure as hell do. Cashner never stood a chance of being a 6 inning 100 pitch guy this season, with or without injury. Gorz could have gotten plenty of work in a virtual piggy back situation with him. In previous seasons Hendry talked about the need for 6 or 7 starters, in this season, he decided not to go with any backup options.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I figured it was because they got a first round draft pick for Troy Brouwer.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    why are they wearing the ugliest shoes on the planet?
  20. jersey cubs fan
    For years and years, the Cubs have been an all or nothing team. If they can't hit the long ball, they lose. Plain and simple. How about execution? How about hustle? How about getting them on, getting them over and getting them in? I have seen this team blow more scoring chances that ultimately costs them games because they absolutely REFUSE to do the little things. You don't want Brenly? Fine. I have no problem with him. You haven't even said why you do not like him. How about not buying into the BS that Dave Kaplan is selling?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    CUBS ARE NOW IN FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Answer the question. Are you saying hustling does not help win games? I mean, you did say that, right? I said what this team is lacking is not more hustle. A lack of hustle is not why this team sucks and why this team has performed so underwhelmingly throughout the Jim Hendry era. The reason this team isn't good is because Jim Hendry is a bad GM. It is not because they lack a manager who will bench Soriano.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    You really think Brenly or any other manager is going to bench Soriano for (allegedly) not hustling? Did you quit paying attention to baseball in little league? Who else would they put out there? Campana. That kid has spunk.

    CUBS ARE NOW IN FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Soriano is Soriano because that is what Soriano is. Any flaws he has are not due to a manager who allows him to have flaws.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    No, it couldn't. This team isn't good. The problem is not trying. Brenly likes to talk about Soriano from the booth when he knows 99% of the fans will eat up anything he says. I highly doubt he would be able to affectively change Soriano from the dugout.
