    You move a reliever, going with 11 pitchers. That's the logical move, but Lou seems dead set on going with 12 pitchers, especially the way he's been using the pen lately. A few more 1-run outputs by this lineup might change his mind, especially if the pitching holds up.

    The kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage, with the hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin', so they don't know what the jazz, is all about! You see, jazz is like Jell-O pudding pops. No, actually it's more like Kodak film-no, actually jazz is like the New Coke. It'll be around forever. Heh, heh, heh.

    The funny thing is, that many people think his job depends on whether or not he can resign Ichiro. But if he resigns him, he'll actually hurt the team more. He can't win on this one. Ichiro is entering his mid-30's as a pretty hum-drum outfielder. But for marketing purposes he'll probably still command a huge contract. If he can hit .310 or higher, he will remain relatively productive, but anything under a .300 season and he starts to look like nothing special

    Oddly enough, this is the 5000th "this is going to be the first of 100,000 "trade for Dunn" threads that will litter NSBB this summer" post.

    Yes, just don't tell anybody. Trying to sneak away from the in-laws on Mother's Day (after golfing in the morning), is going to be quite the feat if you ask me. Going with a few Phillies fans on Saturday, although I swear, I've never met a single Philllies fan who comes anywhere close to being as crazy a fan as Cubs fans are. The same people are die hard nutty Eagles fans, but they just don't get up for the Phillies in the same way. It's a weird dynamic.

    Why didn't they just fire him and let one of the minor league guys like Quade manage the team? He would have listened to everything the GM or president told him. The way the 2nd half of last season was handled was terrible. If we would have just given up and played young guys, we would have known that Theriot was good and wouldn't have wasted money on DeRosa. Also, could have gotten Murton a few more at bats. Brutal job, MacPhail and Hendry. I disagree that money was wasted on Derosa. He just needs to be used like he was in Texas. He makes a great supersub. We just need to be in position to use him that way. DeRosa has been pretty good so far. However, you are right, he could excel as a super sub and should be used as such. DeRosa has been pretty good overall. Although his numbers have slipped the more he's played. His OPS has fallen from the hot start over 1100 down to 800 relatively quickly. He's been horrible in the past week and pretty bad for May overall. He's never been an everyday player, and it's not wise for the Cubs to try and make him one. He's on pace to surpass his career high in games played and just about match in plate appearances. He really does need to be used more as a sub.

    If you're building a team of worsts based on some guys' worst years, then I think you should throw in Girardi, Dernier and Dunston into the mix. Those guys had some really piss poor seasons where they racked up a lot of playing time.

    The funny thing about that statement was that despite Hendry telling Dusty to play the young guys and not overwork Howry and Eyre, Dusty did the exact opposite whenever possible. I was thinking the same thing. In fact I was really hoping the Cubs would trade Eyre over the offseason because Baker has used him up. Well, he did say those plans began after the Maddux trade, when the Cubs were already 20 under and most of the damage had been done. Those guys had already racked up the innings, and actually pitched less at the end. Guys like Theriot, Murton, Cedeno and Pagan all played quite a bit toward the end, even if some worthless vets did keep getting time. 2005 was the year when the Cubs were out of it but for some reason never went to the kids.

    I'll be there as well with my son. Section 241 (left field porch) - 1st row seats. Should be a great pitching match-up tonight. Don't plan on getting abused. I've been to dozens of Cubs games in Philly, and it's definitely nowhere near the same atmosphere of an Eagles game. They'll abuse the Phillies before they'll turn on a Cubs fan. Assuming you don't act like an ass, games in Philly are more like games in Atlanta than Shea or Yankee Stadium.

    I can vouch. Did you grab him by the tie? If I was there, I would've. That's how money that look is. Welcome to 1992.

    Is it me, or are the Bulls doing the equivalent of the Cubs swinging at the first pitch?
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Wow, there wasn't a foul there? I thought basketball was called differently. I could play this sport.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    That didn't last long. Skiles looks shell-shocked.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Your evidence against the idea that he could be injured is that you assume the Cubs would handle it properly if he was? Guys "keep going out there" all the time until they finally figure out what the problem is. And an injury doesn't have to be something that causes great pain.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Not bad for your limited basketball knowledge, goony. Should have gone for the takedown there.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Did Detroit really just score their 30th point in the 3rd quarter. That's kind of bad isn't it?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    This road trip should be very horrifying.... fixed No, watch them play STELLAR vs. GOOD opponents. (I'm hoping anyway. ) I'm going to witness at least 2, and possibly 5 of these upcoming games, so they better play well.

    and he's been playing ss too! the cubs really need to launch izzy and add fontenot to the 40 man and bring him up to the majors. Fontenot is sensing a roster spot opening up on the big club.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Don't know about that. But I think we can put aside any notion that he'll be fast-tracked to the majors. If he develops enough to get a sept call-up in 2008 I'd be shocked.

    Hasn't missed any starts, hasn't complained of any pain, had a strong training regimen and lost weight during the offseason, hasn't had a remarkable decrease in velocity, mentioned his mechanics issues himself during a post-game interview, which were subsequently backed up by Rothschild . . . besides a history of higher-than-ideal pitch counts, what exactly leads one to believe that he might be injured? I'm no doctor, and I can't see into Z's arm, elbow or shoulder, but there's no sign of an injury being the cause of his current pitching problems. I never said it was impossible that he was injured, just that nothing right now leads to that conclusion. He's been pitching side arm half the year. He's complained of back and forearm problems in the past. He's been ridden hard just because he's a big bull and freak of nature. His effectiveness has gradually gotten worse the past couple years, to the point that he was almost an entirely different type of pitcher last season. His control has gotten worse and worse. Pitchers don't do what he has done and just chalk it up to being a little off mechanically.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I don't know how anybody can see what has happened and insinuate there's no possible way Zambrano could be injured.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    First things first... are you peeing your pants if the Brewers make the playoffs? And second things second, I don't think anybody is assuming they play .500. I'm assuming they play over .500, which would mean the Cubs need to think about a 90 win season if they want a division.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I'd guess it's a judgement call, in which case you could say it's a FC, with everybody being safe. Although you should just be nice and give her a hit if she's cute.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    I'm telling you, it's a Georgia thing. Corey didn't care, Farnsworth cared about partying it up, now Murton. Better watch out for EPatt. Barrett will stop caring pretty soon as well. He only cares about fighting and Derrek Lee's daughter.
