    I assumed the question spoke for itself. In other words, will he be president for the entire term or will something, anything, prevent that from happening. It can be morbid, but it's not absurd. World leaders not lasting their entire term can happen. And more than one US president has failed to fill out his term.

    Bonds wouldn't get out of bed for that much. For a chance to win the WS? He might very well do so. i think you're severely overestimating barry bonds' desire to win a championship. Bonds said he would give up all his home run records for a championship, your massively underestimating it. Jim McGreevey said "I do" to his wife. I think Barry would really like to win one if only to add to his own personal accomplishment list.

    Dubya broke the "president elected for first time in a year ending in 0 will get shot" streak right?

    I think that's why Zell has tried to sell Wrigley first, so he can have the team sign a lease with the owner of Wrigley that the new owner would be locked into. So, in theory a new owner of the team without Wrigley could build a new park, but if they are locked into a lease they would be tied to the park for at least as long as the lease is for. Here's a question - in this little scenario (where the Cubs and Wrigley are sold separately, and the new owner is locked into a lease), could the Cubs still build and move in to a new field, and just continue paying the old lease at Wrigley? I mean, would they have to actually PLAY at Wrigley, or just keep making lease payements?? They would have to continue playing there. It would depend on the terms of the lease and how much they'd be willing to pay to get out of it.

    fixed. anyway, what about gay male reporters going into male locker rooms or gay female reporters going into locker rooms? if straight women are concerned about men going into their locker rooms for fear of being leered at, shouldn't they also be worried about gay women coming into the locker room and doing just that? who cares. the women who don't want male reporters in their locker rooms, obviously. Unless the reason they don't want the male reporters there is because they themselves are gay and would prefer to show the goods to lady reporters. No use wasting a good towel repositioning.

    By everyone do you mean hookers and by customers do you mean Johns? The only right answer is other. New Years would be horrible. Halloween has some upside, but a lot of the best Halloween parties don't necessarily fall on that day, it can be before. Bottom line is you are somebody who is going to party on your 21st, you are already going to party for all those holidays. Why not mix one more holiday into your year. The better question is, what day of the week is best. Assuming you are in college, a Wednesday or Thursday may be best. Mine was a Friday, I think. My parents visited the next day and while we were eating lunch at a bar/restaurant near campus I had a lot of people stop by to comment on my birthday the night before, most of which I don't remember seeing.

    I know over the weekend Ward had a hamstring issue. He's been available for pinch-hitting, but that's it. Was that issue somebody tied a ham to a string and kept pulling it away when he got close to it?

    That's pretty poor reasoning. really? why? they've lost every tinkered-with game. if i remember correctly, they shuffled the rotation to allow marquis (and not hill) to start against the brewers. they lost. hill was then nine days removed from his last start when he threw against the cardinals. they lost that game. and lieber, who took hill's spot in the rotation, got battered today. they lost. you really don't see how this rotation shuffle hurt the cubs? I don't think it's the reason they're 3-6. There's never one reason. But it certainly appears to be a significant factor. Lou had to go get his paws on things to justify his standing as the wise ole' manager. Things were going fine, and he freaked out.

    I can't wait until Soriano busts out with a 3 HR game. This guy probably wouldn't post for a few weeks. Of course, in Soriano's 4th AB, he could strikeout and CubsGM will run to his computer and post, "OMG SORIANO SUCKS HE HAS NO PATIENTCE LOLZ!" You say this as if he's unfairly criticizing Soriano. He's been awful all season so far. Complaining is more than justified. He basically had 2 bad weeks, was injured for 2 weeks, had a couple bad games, and now is doing decent. He's been hitting the ball hard nearly every AB the past few games. He's not worth 18m, but with his track record, I don't think a couple bad weeks is worth flipping out over (not that you are, but apparently CubsGM is) It's May 7th. His season-to-date numbers are atrocious. His month-to-date numbers are bad. It's hard to justify picking on a guy who complains about those facts.

    I didn't know he was on 4 days rest! Dusty never learns. 4 days rest is normal.

    Volquez threw 118 pitches with a 9 run lead. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Count me in as liking Lou a lot when comparing him with some of our previous managers. Who is the manager that left young Volquez in for roughly 120 pitches in a blowout? Edinson Volquez, meet Mark Prior. Here's your towel, learn how to throw it. While Lou can be frustrating to watch during a game, you have to admit, his teams are far more fundamentally sound top to bottom than any team I've ever seen Dusty field. He's maddening at in game management, but he seems pretty good at all of the other stuff. I actually put the in game management well down the list of concerns. Compared to Dusty he's solid. The biggest issue is how he determines who gets jobs, which is apparantly based off first impressions and short-term thinking. The biggest strategy problem I've had was actually pre-game, when he pushed Hill back, making it all the more difficult for him to deal with control issues. That forced their worst pitcher to pitch against Milwaukee, and forced him to go with Lieber against a team perfectly suited to destroy Lieber. His lack of foresight on the Hill move was incredibly disappointing. He doesn't seem too sacrifice happy, although he does make far too many decisions that lead to outs on the basepaths.

    I'm actually not too worried about the batting average with Colvin. The ISOP is the most disappointing to me. He's right about .200 for his career in ISOP, and was at .171 last year in AA. He has to get back up in that range and keep the walks progressing to be a legit prospect. If he gets luckier with BABIP, I could see him have a solid .270/.335/.430 type season. Nothing special but probably good enough in a pitcher's league to deserve a promotion to Iowa next year. Everything worries me about Colvin. He's essentially been an older lesser version of Pie and Patterson up to this point.

    ???????????? Lou wanted to double switch early when the game was not out of hand and he needed Marshall to go more than 1 inning. Theriot was the logical option. And Soto is a catcher playing a day game after a night game in a blowout. Lou has done some odd stuff, but this is not something to complain about.

    From an F to a D. You can graduate with a D.

    Sweet agent speak Mr. Clifton.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Yes, his explanation for taking out Z last night was enough to temper any calls for his ouster. Until I see a clear-cut improvement I can't see joining the crowd.* *With Dusty, anything was a clear-cut improvement.

    Halfway? at least halfway decent I mean Depending on what you mean by right now: Pie in May .333/.385/.417 Fontenot in May .417/.588/.750 Theriot in May .333/.400/.370 Fukudome has been mediocre Ramirez has barely played. Lee has been awful. Johnson and DeRosa have done nothing. It's not exactly the entire team, but it is the most important hitters.

    I think every time you post an opinion on something I'll do this to you. You don't understand. Your opinion on whether or not females should be allowed in the lockerroom does not matter in this discussion, because the powers that be, who don't care what you think, have allowed it. Women are allowed there, and that is only one reason why this is a story. Whether men should be able to look at WNBA boobies or women should be able to see guys change is an entirely different topic. There's a lot of people who think the trading floor is no place for a woman, but that doens't change the fact that they are allowed, and if boys will be boys traders wanted to shove their phones up a blow-up dolls vajayjay there would likely be consequences.

    Halfway?

    Well, Marshall, who has been a loogy all year average under 10 pitches per outing was perfectly fine through 2, but since the started sucked so bad he was forced to go longer, pushing his pitch count to 4 times his average, and that's when he struggled. Plus, Gallagher isn't a reliever, he's been a starter all year. If guys were in the roles they were supposed to be in, perhaps the bullpen would look better. But when your 4th best starter from 2007 becomes the longman (in name only, in actuallity a loogy), your 2nd best starter is treated like a 19 year old on a tryout, and your most inconsistent veteran starters are given jobs they do not deserve, things are going to be messy.

    That's not what I said at all. It was talked about forever on Cardinals forums. This is a Cubs forum, and I don't care if people here or anywhere want to pick on players for whatever. But lumping in people that used HGH at one point or another with players that used steroids or actual performance enhancers is a pet peeve, like I said. That's all. Carry on, and mentioning Soto was a poor way to make a point. It (hopefully) obviously had nothing to do with him per se. It's a pet peeve because your guy did HGH, what a surprise.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    He replaced Theriot, Cedeno moved to SS.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Fontenot has been swinging a pretty hot stick this season. And the Cubs only have about 2 other bench players.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    THG (the clear) is a designer anabolic steroid that's incredibly potent I believe. If Soto was on the Cardinals people here would've accused him of that already anyway. Because people pick on the Cards player that actually did get busted?
