Its very sad and understandable that a Cubs fan would equate 1 home run to a good start. 1 HR in 2 weeks is a power surge for a guy like Erstad.

Should games be suspended today in light of recent events?
jersey cubs fan replied to Soriano12's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't see any reason to cancel the games. -
I remember hearing he had a HR, so I thought he was off to a decent start. .189/.262/.270 Guess not.

4/15 Cubs Game (Jackie Robinson Day) Pictures
jersey cubs fan replied to Roast's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
His PR people have been on overtime since he started plumetting in the mock drafts. The guy has been on everything in the past two weeks. -
Sounds like he feels the main reason people compare him to Willis is the color of their skin. Veal says they don't throw alike. What does Veal generally throw, who would be a better comparison?
-
Well, I would hope he plays well enough so that only about 4 of those years are truly cheap. Ideally he'd come out and play well his first year, then continue to improve enough to give the organization incentive to sign him longterm before he hits free agency. That would mean giving him near market value in years 5 and 6, but it would be worth it if he plays well enough to earn it.

Or ugly. That's fat team.

Murton getting benched again for lesser player
jersey cubs fan replied to RegulusBlue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
No kidding, it's year 5 of the Hendry experiment and the lineup is still littered with crappy hitting outfielders and guys who can't get on base. And seniority remains the single most important factor to decide playing time. -
I'm convinced - Theriot for starting 2B... erm SS
jersey cubs fan replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I wasn't aware there was an Izturis thing to get into. He's been awful, offensively and defensively, since showing up last year. He didn't even have the common courtesy to have a fluke April to mask how horrible he is. The OPS is already below 600 and we might be lucky to see that OBP ever cross back over .300. -
Because he's got tools and the GM is a desperate fool.

Soriano has been absolutely pathetic this year.
-
Between Jake the neighborhood guy, Ron Santo's bimbocity and these inane interviews, listening to WGN is painful to listen to Cubs games.
-
Jake the neighborhood guy needs to die of gonorrhea and go to hell.
-
Guys. It's only a couple of at-bats. And a career in the minors...and last year... And replace him with what? A similarly unproductive veteran with no upside and higher paycheck?
-
Oh man, I see Old Style is back to making their garbage commercials.

good point you handsome fella

Gotta take some pitches here Jones. Zambrano needs to catch his breath.

There's a good enough chance that they'll be good enough to justify the purchase. I don't even know what that means. It means I don't know if they will be good enough for it to be worth the cost. But I think the odds are in our favor that they will be good enough. I justified it to myself years ago by thinking about how much I'd pay for any individual game. I'd easily pay $2 for any game that's on. I'd pay $5-10 for certain games, depending on where they are in teh season, who they are playing and what my other options are. People think of it as $150 (or whatever it is), but it's $150 for 6 months worth of games, which could be as much as 480-500 hours of entertainment.

In two days off you can do a lot of slumpbusting. Hope nobody got herpes during the break. I think that is what happened to ARAM...."wrist" = herpes What's a "bad back?" It's a low grade brokeback.

The media keeps bringing up the fact that the Cubs spent $300 million in the offseason on players - and they say it all the time - but I rarely hear that the Cubs have a $300 million payroll. Maybe it's because I don't read the Chicago papers but I rarely hear it. That doesn't mean I haven't already tired of hearing the number $300 million though. Oh, I've seen it more than once. Plus, even without that -- the Cubs actually did not *spend* 300 million dollars. They entered into contracts which, if they all come completely to fruition with the Cubs, will eventually equal $300 million (approximately) after about 8 years. That's a massive difference, IMO. There's no way to intellectually say the Cubs spent 300 million dollars this offseason. And no, not everyone knows the semantics of it -- that's why people come back out and start saying the Cubs have a 200 million dollar payroll. I'm with you man.

Here's to a crazy ugly lineup pulling a big game out of their collective backside and putting the Cubs on the board at home. :pint:

Prior visits Yocum and Andrews; THT on Prior's Mechanics
jersey cubs fan replied to DiamondMind's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
your examples are pathetically desperate attempts to justify a head in the sand approach to this story. Anybody who uses Clemens and Ryan as examples to dispute the notion that fatigued pitching can be harmful is missing the point. The fact that there are so very few Clemens/Ryan types, and so many more Wood/Prior types should be ample evidence to at least accept the fact that it's likely the abuse was a problem.
