    Quite a bit went very right as well.

    But aren't their best players still in the prime or just entering, justifying hope in improvement? It's a better situation than hoping Soriano and Fontenot bounce back (Soto being the difference of course). It seems like it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine them a few games better this year, and everybody else mediocre enough to finish behind them. It seems a few teams have a chance of winning it with 86 wins.

    Other than the fact that this offseason reminded me of the 2004/2005 offseason, I would agree.

    There's always a fresh batch.

    The only time I've been in STL it was in the airport waiting for a connection and the Cubs were playing the cards in Chicago. Three guys were in the bar with me watching and they were all rednecks.

    bummer, I've been meaning to find something to hate about more SEC teams. LSU doesn't bother me enough.

    that is atrocious. they already had a unique field that was easily distinguishable from most others.

    other than the specific nature of those texts (which can only be somewhat surprising), I thought this was all old news. I know the whole two abortion thing was. Two abortions? One isn't even believable let alone two. How much would this person stand to receive in child support by having Tiger Woods' love child? Potentially not enough to justify actually raising a kid, and then throw in a onetime payment early on and I could easily see her wanting the lifestyle of Tiger's mistress over his baby mama.

    Just now you're convinced? How many shutouts does he have? Yes, he's shown plenty of times that he can do it. The problem has been all season that just as things start to look good for him taking the job, he falls apart.

    The only vegas win total I've seen says 83.5.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    I don't know about that. I think they are counting on Brett Jackson to be the next impact OF in the system. They are clearly counting on Castro and probably Vitters still. But I don't think they are counting on Colvin to be much more than a 4th OF.

    Well, this is essentially the same thing as judging pitchers on W totals. A great player in a bad organization can't be blamed for the team's lack of titles.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    That's only because a 64 team tournament that gives all sorts of mediocre teams "a shot" is ludicrous.

    It wasn't an argument. It was my opinion. Fair enough, just think it's a bit over the top. How so? The statement about them moving the statue was a joke. I don't actually expect that to happen or even care that it does or doesn't. I just was never a fan of Harry's, even when I was younger, and I think that the first statue they put up at Wrigley is one of him is silly. That's it. It's not like any of the reasons I listed for not being a fan of his are somehow wrong or unjustified. They're all subjective. Well like I said, he wasn't the lovable loser that didn't care about the outcome as you claim. He hardly personifies that crowd. And he spent more than enough time in Chicago to be mostly associated with them. It is quite pathetic that he was the first statue, but not entirely unjustified, given the fact that this team isn't exactly overrunning with successful players that had to be honored. The whole idea of a statue for a player or announcer is just silly to begin with. But within the generally accepted practice of building statues for personalities involved with sports, Harry fits with room to spare. At least it's not Rocky.

    I'm more indifferent to the Harry statue than aggressively against it. I don't think your argument really holds much sway. Harry personified having a good time, but not lovable losers who didn't care, he hated the teams struggles and was one of the few announcers to complain about the team's performance. Likewise, the fact that he "only" spent 17 years in Chicago and was a hired gun is pointless. His career is most remembered with the Cubs. Nationwide he is remembered as a Cubs announcer. Players who have spent much shorter times with teams are similarly honored and as long as it is acceptable to honor announcers with statues, it's perfectly acceptable for the cubs to have one of Harry. It's all just stupid marketing gimmicks and unnecessary, but it's part of baseball and harmless. So be it.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I'd have to agree with you there.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Baker and Nady sure, but Hill is horrible, Colvin has been a pretty bad professional and Tracy has trended considerably lower the past two years.

    Nobody likes Steve Garvey. Tell that to thousands of 1980's women. You think all the women he knocked up and abandonded (and probably beat) currently like Steve Garvey?
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Garvey and Bartman are both depicted, and both are credited, at least partially, for the demise of each particular Cubs playoff hope. In that case where's Chris Young and James Loney? Edit: And Will Clark and Javy Lopez (for the game tying HR in 9th inning of game 2 of the 98 lds) 84 and 03 one win from WS, not so with the LDS losses and sweep against SF.

    He probably signed the minor league deal with the condition that they wouldn't force him to play in AAA.
