  1. \ "Dude, Walker's a lefty, and lefties can'at hit lefties"
  2. I really don't think there's anything odd about this at all. I mean, other than Dusty's fascination with getting Neifi into the lineup whenever possible, it seems to makes sense to me. We'll see how it works out. I was hoping Macias would be playing CF today so that Baker would somehow have all 4 of his SS in the lineup at once (think our bench is a little unbalanced?)
  3. yeah i wont. my honeymoon in hawaii isnt going to be stopped by non-Cubs played baseball in october... bums..... You all complain now. But when no ball is played on October 5th, on November 5th, on December 5th...we'll all be missing the Cubs. I'll have College Football, College Basketball, NFL, NBA and the Winter Meeting to tide me over.
  4. SOMEONE has to babysit Darren...I mean, who else is he supposed to play Super Smash Bros. Melee with all day?
  5. HAHHAHAHAHAH! He's probably behind Perez, Macias, Walker, Hairston, Blanco, Zambrano and Dick Pole on the depth chart for SS right now
  6. No, he's probably playing CF....
  7. Who does this hurt? Putting a SS at 3B is hardly a stretch. It probably hurts the people sitting behind the first base dugout, as Nomar's throws are going to be 10 feet wider of the bag than usual
  8. Is Baker TRYING to hurt as many people as possible? Why not have Prior catch and put Zambrano in center?
  9. That's funny, but not terribly surprising. I mean, one would think that the Cubs brass would frown upon their play by play guy fraternizing with the fans on a message board, even if it is on the official Cubs site. Nor is it surprising that the Mods would think it was an imposter. I mean, there are many celebrities who, for example, play games like World of Warcraft and Everquest, but would you ever believe them if they told you who they were?
  10. Yes, I definitely missed some. How could I forget "Excellent"? D'oh!
  11. Does it even matter anymore..... NL Wild Card Standings (Start of Day, 8/26) PHI --- FLA 1.5 NYM 1.5 HOU 1.5 WSH 2.5 MIL 6.0 CHC 7.5 Best case scenario today: CHC defeats FLA STL defeats WSH ATL defeats MIL SF defeats NYM LAD defeats HOU ARZ defeats PHI Would result in: PHI --- HOU 1.5 NYM 2.5 FLA 2.5 WSH 2.5 MIL 5.0 CHC 6.5
  12. Arizona, at 58-70, has a better chance of making the playoffs than the Cubs. They are just 6 games back of SD and have no other teams to pass to catch the Padres. So yeah, don't cancel your October vacation plans Cubs fans.
  13. I imagine that it wouldn't be a smart career move for anyone on the Cubs' payroll to do anything but lurk fan message boards.
  14. Okay, so I put on ESPNews and they say that Pedro has a no-hitter through 5. So I flip over on MLB EI to the game, and Mark Grace is trying to jinx Pedro. He sticks his head out the booth window and yells "Hey! Pedro! It's me! Gracie! You got a no-hitter going!" What happens next? Next batter gets a single. HI-LARIOUS!
  15. Who said anyone is watching the scoreboard? I just wanted an excuse to post the WC standings. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
  16. Except that Macias will somehow bat higher than both Barrett and Corey
  17. Based on this year, however, don't you think Lee's agent(s) will try to push for an extension before he hits any type of career statistical correction in 2006?
  18. Guys, guys, guys, you aren't reading between the lines here. What Dusty is afraid of is that he will sit the vets, play the rookies, and they will do really well and the team will win. This will prove that they should've played all along, further damaging his credibility and further enraging the Cubs fandom since he refused to play them all year. This is "Covering my Ass:101"
  19. All I know is that whoever the next manager may be, even if its Torre, Leyland, whoever, WON'T be getting a 4 year deal. I think Hendry's hands are somewhat tied with this next year. Had this been Baker's last year, he wouldn't have gotten a new contract.
  20. Which actually means a 2 man bench, since you never pinch hit your 2nd catcher and leave yourself without a backup. Kasper and Brenley have actually pointed this short bench out on several occasions

  22. If the Cubs were actually serious about winning, they would skip Rusch's start and go with Maddux, Zambrano and Williams, but alas, they are the Cubs.
  23. It's an off day for the Cubs, but.... NL Wild Card Standings (Start of Day, 8/25) PHI --- HOU 1.5 NYM 2.0 FLA 2.0 WSH 2.0 MIL 5.5 CHC 7.5 Best case scenario today: CIN defeats WSH MIL defeats FLA ARZ defeats NYM CHC fire Baker, traded Burnitz, Hollandsworth, Macias Would result in: PHI --- HOU 1.5 NYM 2.5 FLA 2.5 WSH 2.5 MIL 5.0 CHC 7.5
