    if anybody's exposing personal lives, it's dusty. he's the one that continues to harp on the racist letters, how they're affecting his family, what darren's daily routine is, etc. with all the stuff in the past about hundley, farnsworth, sosa, etc, i'd say this season is pretty low on the personal life exposure scale.

    new scapegoat alert, new scapegoat alert!!!!

    seriously, what's with the negativity, people? can't anyone write about all the positives that come with a 95 million dollar team sitting at 25 games under .500?

    no kidding...just ask the white sox (anderson) and the tigers (granderson)...they've gone with inexperienced centerfielders, and have two of the worst records in baseball to show for it. i swear, some people just have never watched a game of baseball...

    ahh...the Mel Rojas rule. or the latroy hawkins rule, the mike remlinger rule, the bob howry rule, etc. relievers are too fickle to be dumping huge contracts on.

    That's not entirely fair at all and you know it. Dempster wasn't a closer his whole career. but he's been a pitcher his whole career. and not a very good one. i don't know why people expect some miraculous turnaround out of a guy becaues he's now pitching one inning instead of five. it's still the same pitcher.

    Wow, I just looked it up the roster, and you're right. That team had no business winning 90 games at all. It's like Major League all over again, plus Sammy. It wasn't all bad. Grace and Morandini had some sexy OBPs, Brant Brown had upwards of 400 PA's with an .850 OPS, and Glenallen Hill had upwards of 150 PA's with a near 1.000 OPS. yeah, while it may be fun to pretend that team was all about hustle, grit, scrappiness, etc, it's not the case. and while beck (the guy a lot of people think represented this team's scrappiness/guts) may have been gassed at the end of the season, he was pretty good during the regular season (despite a somewhat high whip).

    yeah, the real phil rogers showed up there at the end. i can't fathom any way you could determine that mabry > walker.
  9. abuck1220
    i think it was more the 831 runs, sosa, tapani and wood that got them to the playoffs. and morandini may have been toward the end of his career, but he was pretty darn good that year. they were far from a royals type team.

    they can exactly describe the loss of DLee. There isn't a stat that measure the psyhological effects of the loss of DLee. and there's no proof that unicorns don't exist. but that doesn't mean they do. So you mean we are all robots and don't have emmotions? You don't beleive phycology exsists? not what i'm saying at all. you just can't say that something is true (ie lee's injury had a huge emotional effect on the team) and then support it by saying that no one can prove it's not true.

    there's your problem.

    even if he would have made up that many games (and he wouldn't have), the team would still be a gigantic disappointment.
  14. abuck1220
    i love it that some people still don't think dusty has a double standard.
  15. abuck1220
    argh...those rookie pitchers just continue to KILL the cubs. what a ridiculous waste of money howry is.
  16. abuck1220
    yeah, i enjoyed that too. the first few innings of this broadcast were just brutal...i have it on mute now.

    well, i don't have jacque jones out there.* *i'm not a racist

    there's a new sheriff in town! Galesburg Hand Sanitizers 17 3 0 0.850 0 W10 10-2-0 2 5905.3 0.0 4995.9 at least for one day...
  19. abuck1220
    he's been the cubs' best starter this month (aka when he finally had some security in the rotation). so yeah, i'd say he's done pretty well...not too shabby for a one pitch AAAA loogy.

    Did the I-Cubs provide any sort of list on their website of players that would be included in the giveaway? Either way, that's a tremendous pull considering the odds. not that i'm aware of...their website sucks now that milb has taken it over. i'm usually not lucky like that, so i'm pretty happy. i was just hoping for a decent i-cub...pie, hill, marshall, etc. i'll take the future HOFer though. :D
  24. abuck1220
    don't worry, they'll come up with a new excuse.
  25. abuck1220
    gah, should have started sheets this week...man, has he been hot/cold since he came back from injury. thankfully, i knew myers would kill the cubs, so i left him out there. i was getting soooo close to catching tim for total points...soooo close.
