spring training performance doesn't count for grissom. please refer to his 1996 numbers if you wish to evaluate his ability.

3/6 Cubs (Guzman) vs A's (Haren) 2:05 PM
abuck1220 replied to Coach C's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
i've been kinda disappointed w/ xm so far...they don't have up to date listings and yesterday's game was nowhere to be found. -
early start on the excuses for grissom...

BRANDON SING (1) OFF JULIO MATEO IN THE 3RD BRANDON SING (2) OFF DAVE BURBA IN THE 4TH -
he honestly can't be surprised when people say he doesn't like young players. his quote about how ST is for the young guys doesn't make any sense at all.
-
too late! pitch by pitch analysis of hill's outing, please. :D
-
that's really sad. both that you enjoyed that so much and that you think hawkins blew the 2004 season.
-
i'm just glad we get to do some more hawkins bashing now that he's been gone for eight months. meet back here again in july or so?
-
wow, it seems like most people who were anti-corey were pro-dusty. something's got to give now that they've both used the base-clogging line.
-
i agree. i mean, i like going, but it's not always worth the hassle, money, parking, travel, trying to get tickets, etc. it especially seems that way when i see games in such a relaxed atmosphere in ST and des moines.
-
I'd be interested to see if Hairston's OBP last season was inflated by his HBPs. He'd definitely be a better option than Neifi. it was. at one point in the season i figured out his OBP w/o the HBP, and it wasn't that impressive. don't remember the specifics of it, however.
-
there must be some doubt that he's healthy. dude's only had a sub-.370 OBP once since 1999.

Rumor - Murton for Soriano?
abuck1220 replied to CubfaninCA's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Guess which one of these lines is Soriano's 2005 away line, and which one is Neifi's 2005 line. A) .274/.298/.383/.681 B) .224/.265/.374/.639 Hint: It's B i don't think there's any way soriano would put up those #'s over the course of an entire season away from arlington. that being said, i sure hope there's a really, really good backup plan for lf if the cubs do this trade. -
Show Me Proof (the Spring Training Pictures thread)
abuck1220 replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
is that a bobble? cut. -
sarcasm, people.
-
pfft...still a lazy, uncoachable jerk. i bet he got there early solely so he could refuse more autograph requests.
-
you know what could have prevented the media from hounding you about taking steroids? not taking steroids. awesome hitter...would have been an easy HOFer w/o the roids...but what a baby.
-
just curious...do you get mad at zambrano when he does stupid things like get ejected, argue w/ umpires, throw at batters, slide head first, show up his teammates, etc? because i bet all the coaches told him not to do that stuff.
-
100% agree. I've yet to see any evidence from Abuck about the Cubs not offering any advice for wood. and i have yet to see any evidence from anybody that he's been offered advice and refused to take it.
-
Wait... are you saying it's not his fault that he gets injured all the time? how would it be his fault? if his mechanics are causing the injuries, it is the job of the coaching and training staff to fix it. that's not the responsibility of a 25 year old who has never coached nor gone to college. if rothschild came out and said 'we've been telling him to change his motion for three years, and he refuses to make adjustments' then that would be wood's fault. but that apparently isn't the case. why would kerry be asked to do the job of the pitching coach and the trainer? Do you really think that no coaches, trainers, or doctors have talked to Kerry and gave recommendations as to how to not get hurt every two weeks? I think it's pretty safe to assume that Kerry has been given plenty of advice over the past few years. It's his own fault that he hasn't followed it. safe to assume? you have NO evidence whatsoever that wood has been given instruction and refused to follow it. with the way the cubs have been willing to throw their own under the bus lately, do you really think they'd have missed a chance to wash their hands of responsibility for wood's injuries? give me a break. if he was so uncoachable and difficult, why'd they give him a three year extension?
-
wow, i hadn't realized that he'd retired.

man, it's been a while since i've heard the 'it's kerry wood's fault that he has arm problems' crap. ah, baseball season is back.
