now bush is on...second dumbest person i've heard on this station in the last five minutes.
-
now he wants credit for locking up lee. good work, fellas!
-
these idiots have talked about the astros miracle season more than the houston media.
-
"pitching is 80% of the equation" no wonder the offense sucks so bad.
-
so far he has thrown Rusch, Williams and Murton under the bus sounds like the wrigley grass is next on the list. damn you, lawn!
-
so it's all murton's fault then?
-
raw, did you ever pick a bad time to grab elmer dessens. :shock:
-
I remember people screaming so loud it would wake up a deaf person about not allowing Dusty to platoon Murton this year (before it started). And it was WIDESPREAD. that was because it was a fear that he'd be platooned w/ a todd hollandsworth type guy. if he platoons w/ jacque, and the cubs get a stud for the other spot, i doubt many complain.

I don't understand all the infatuation with Dubois. What was so great about him? Maybe it's my frustration, but with all of our failures, I'm not sure that our farm system is very good. But I've also lost all my confidence in MacPhail/Hendry, etc,... who's infatuated w/ him?
-
How has not ONE bloody reporter asked Hendry about OBP?

Read my stuff over the past few weeks. I constantly mention it and ask about it. How do you know nobody has asked about it? I ask about it every day and write about it more than anybody. This is an organization that clearly values other stats. ie losses. keep up the good work, bruce. -
same thing could be said for murton. his value was sky high at the end of '05.
-
i'm not saying i'd trade murton for dubois, but it's funny how murton is so loved around here while everyone kinda hates doobs.
-
yeah, thank goodness for that! dubois' OPS w/ the cubs: .761 murton's OPS this year: .712 Come on dude, you and I both know Murton is going to be an all around MUCH better player than Dubois. Dubois is AAAA. That's it. Murton is a much better hitter with a much better eye, with a little less power that will develop in time. says who? i hope i'm wrong, but i'm not nearly as infatuated w/ murton as everyone else seems to be. i like his eye a lot, but dude needs to add a little pop...his high average has been driven by bloop/infield hits for quite a while now. don't get me wrong, though, it's not like i want him sent to AAA or anything. might as well see what he can do.

how 'bout those new bleachers, eh? pretty awesome, aren't they!?
-
i don't get too excited for third place finishes, sorry.
-
wow, i didn't know the BS "bad luck" line was being bought at a national level. good to know that this horrible three year run is NOT the fault of hendry, baker, rothschild, or the trainers. BAD BREAKS!!!
-
YES, Cubs now last in MLB in OBP, SLG
abuck1220 replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
argh...the bad breaks continue! -
yeah, once prior gets back this offense is really going to take off. i hate to defend dusty, but the majority of the blame does go to hendry. all the promise he showed in 2003 is but a distant memory now. the guy is a terrible GM. i want dusty fired too, but as long as hendry's in charge, it probably won't matter.

Now that the easy part of the schedule is over...
abuck1220 replied to WindyCity's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I didn't mean to imply his return would have much impact, but his injury has been mentioned by Hendry as contributing to the team's struggles.... so as soon as everyone gets back, we can watch the team continue to struggle without excuses. then hendry is an idiot. i'm pretty sure that a crummy 5th outfielder is not the difference between winning and losing very often. -
when the marlins are laughing at you, you know your team sucks. and, yes, i think the marlins were definitely laughing at the cubs after that one.
-
i've made a huge mistake.

abuck1220 replied to WindyCity's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i like how people lump pagan in w/ the likes of lee and prior as if his return is going to help the slightest bit. -
frickin' manny w/ a 37 point week by wednesday...

fire bank and promote costanza.
