Thank you Fox/MLB for forcing me to get some work done around the house since my only option is Yankees/Mets. -
Mike North, Ozzie Gullien, AJ & BB
jersey cubs fan replied to 98navigator's topic in General Baseball Talk
I really don't think it's worth it. Ozzie comes on talking gibberish. He swears. Mike Nort ignores it. He swears again, Mike Nort laughs a little and asks him to not swear. Then Ozzie goes off about shutting up about his lineup and saying he doesn't care what AJ thinks. Swears some more, Nort gets a little huffy, Guillen ignores him, Nort goes off and Ozzie hangs up. Ozzie was an ass, and Nort was a sanctimonious idiot. "I'm not one of your players! We're friends but don't talk to be like that. I'm not going to lose my job over this guy!" Short and stupid, just like Nort and Guillen. Yes, I wrote Nort on purpose because the idiot can't even pronounce his own name. -
No, not for the long haul at least. But maybe through the weekend of even the next week.

Guzman needs to keep starting. I don't understand the Guzman for reliever suggestions. Guzman has a helluva lot more talent than Sean Marshall. my guzman for reliever suggestion stems from the ML leading 11 losses by our worthless bullpen. I agree he has a world of talent and will probably can be a really good starter. However, he's been just as good if not better as a reliever, why not have him sure up a few victories? just a suggestion, i won't be upset either way as long as he pitches regularly, whether it be starting or relief. Because a good starter is always more valuable than a good reliever? always? Yes, always.

Well, we know there's no such thing as clutch, so I won't address that. I don't hate Pagan. I think he can be a fine 5th OF. I would be fine with him even spelling Pie from time to time in the future. I think he can give you a .275/.330/.370 type of line, which is acceptable from a 5th OF, but for a fraction of the cost that a similar vet would cost. But that is all he is. He's never going to be a solid everyday OF. He's a backup.

its a recurring medical problem that has happened throughout his career. some guys have blisters, some guys have cramping issues...just saying that it makes more sense to use him in short runs vs. long runs if they cant get it fixed. Do you know what a cramp is?
-
Unclutch. Nice comeback win here for them, both in this game and from last night. The key? Cubs OBP roughly .345, CWS OBP roughly .235. He who gets on base more wins more. Unlike the Phillies and Mets, the White Sox are a bad offensive ballclub. The Cubs should be in every game. It would be interesting to see what happens Monday or Tuesday if the Cubs take 2 of 3 or sweep. Do they still have massive changes?
-
Arms and legs both. IT'S A CRAMP. It was in his forearm last year and leg this year. It's a cramp. Not an injury.
-
He had a hot week last year once returning from injury. The key is keeping his playing time limited.
-
no he isnt. story on cubs.com. he is having issues still with cramping. It's a freaking cramp, not a health issue. And it's in his leg.
-
He was healthy last year and is healthy now. Miller on the roster makes absolutely no sense.
-
That's messed up. Rookies are forced to take pictures for trading cards and miss the first day of camp? I was wondering what Bears would miss for that. I can't believe they had 2. I read there were 35 rookies involved. This is just absolutely stupid on the part of the NFL.
-
Between Rolen and Zimmerman, it'll be really hard. Ohman up. He's been pretty darn good over at 3rd this year. I'm a Cubs fan so of course I'm biased, but he has been very impressive with some of the stops he's made this year. He impressed the NY announcers with his D, but he's got no chance, since he has the "lazy" and prima donna label.
-
I was craving this so much yesterday. Not sure why, haven't had any in a long time.
-
Yes, but it's also quite myopic to assume this "norm" is destined to be repeated every time.

10 or more under .500 by June 1st
jersey cubs fan replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The key is to not embrace mediocrity, but rather complete suckiness. If you don't make the playoffs, you might as well draft 1st. -
batting average isn't everything. DeRosa hasn't done squat since the beginning of the year, he sucks right now. .133 AVG, 500 OPS in May. Yeah, he's not an everyday player.
-
You think it was bad now, wait until 2013 when he is still out there. It's really going to be interesting to see an old Soriano play.
-
Erstad scrapped Soriano into missing it.
-
2nd/3rd, 2-2 to DeRosa ground ball out, inning over

2007 Game Thread Starters
jersey cubs fan replied to Laura's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
4-1 vs KC, 2-1 vs NYY, TEX and OAK, 3 highly mediocre teams. The power of the AL, in my opinion, is vastly overrated. Interesting choice of thread though. -
Hardly. OPS+ of 100 in his first year. 113 in 2003 and 128 in 2004. For a highly compensated corner outfielder only that last year was amazing. Year 1 was a big disappointment and year 2 was just good. i meant for 2004... and he wasnt making that much At the time his contract was rather large, the kind of money that should require serious production.
-
People are carrying over their hatred from last year after the most recent game. He's been fine most of the year and most of his time as a Cubs reliever. Nothing special, but fine.

What did that get them? 89 wins. After going to the NLCS. LOL, yeah, that's all... no postseason. I will gladly take 89 wins this season, thanks AND you all know the offense wasnt the reason they didnt go to the playoffs that year.. His name is Latroy Hawkins... and I hate him. In that deciding game, Baker decided not to use Hawkins as his closer. He had Dempster start the 9th, then brought in Hawkins with 2 men on. It was a horrible move. Had Hawkins started the inning, the outcome would likely have been different. Baker was the reason.
