Too Tall

I think he forgot he was a cub now and not pitching against the cubs.

I'm more afraid of the number of picks the Cubs will lose. Again. Or who they will over draft in the first round?

Well I just jinx'd Ben Sheets bid for a perfect game and no hitter..

So does Ben Sheets at the moment..

any guesses for attendance tonight? I'll say 30,000. Only because its the Dodgers with Maddux and Nomar, people will show up for them..

But Houston and Florida came back, why can't we?

Griffey Jr. with the catch that broke his wrist. Was it the one where he head butted a wall? If so, thats pretty lame.. IF thats the case they should have put Jeters catch when he caught the ball 5 feet from the wall and decided to jump into the stands..

Last place here we come! Good thing we pay our manager 4 million dollars to keep us a float during the rough times.. 2-1 now after a Lee single RBI..

Incase anyone cares, cubs are down 2-0 after the top of the first, 2 run homer by Bay.

Don't tell that to Ronny C..

chicagosports.com Looks like exit visa is imminent. =D> Maybe we should look to sign Sammy again.. I mean, if you judge him by his last 10-13 years and not his last 3 years, well, thats a no brainer..

DD and its not even close, KK is horrible.

it's those darn rookie pitchers that poor dusty has been complaining about. during the 11-4 run... hill, marmol, mateo: 5-1 z, prior, rusch: 3-3 Wait? Dusty keeps telling me that you can't win with rookies?

5-0

4-0 after a Stephen Drew Triple.

Really....was that in the same interview? Because of course the Score670 is omitting that portion. Yeah, they played that part later on. He said other teams don't let you have your kids in the dugout except after a game if you win and stuff like that. I never did hear the whole interview..

I'm surprised that no one mentioned his quote about why him and Jaque Jones came to the cubs. And that was because they knew Dusty runs a loose club house with few rules. I cant' remember the exact quote, but they have been talking about it on the score for a little bit today..

I'll look tonight for mine when I get home, I usually keep my tickets so you might be in luck...

I actually was at that game myself.. But unfortunately I don't think i have anything from it.. I might have a ticket stub at home..

100 losses. That would be very comical actually, thats what I'm hoping for.. This team has sucked the life out of me.. I've never hated something i've loved so much. I want them to be completely embarrased.. How fitting is it that we have one of the highest paid managers in the game and one of the highest payrolls in the league, but we have the 3rd worse record..

I found this write up about Zobrist to be extremely funny I wonder if the cubs were the one that rated him? I guess the cubs wont be trading for him anytime soon.

Zobrist is a stud.. He's from Eureaka.. A guy I used to work with is friends with him..

Thats what I'm afraid of too..

Oh Dusty, you mean Marmol who went 6 innings last night giving up one run and getting the win? Or Marshall who is 3rd in IP on the team and 3rd best ERA for a starter on the team, or Murton who drove in 2 of the 3 runs yesterday, or Cedeno who was hitting .300 for most of the first half til this recent slump, or Novoa who is your first right hander out of the pen and has the 2nd most IP for a reliever? (left Ohman out because, well he sucks, so does Novoa but he's one of Dusty's boys)

It's hard to over-rate when you have the most yardage from scrimmage by a RB, most rushing yards, and most rushing TD's. Saying Smith is over-rated would be the same as saying Hank Aaron is over-rated. You can do it, but it's pretty ridiculous. Hank Aaron is overrated. He had incredible longevity and consistency, but he never had ridiculous years like Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, etc. had. I don't think he ever had more than ~45 homers in a season, not saying thats not great, but he isn't the best home run hitter of all time. Just for some comparison, Aaron had 40 more homers than Babe Ruth in 4,000 more at bats. BTW, just to add to the discussion, Payton is the best, end of discussion. C'mon, Emmitt Smith isn't better, don't be ridiculous. And by what metric do you support this? I'm not being ridiculous. Smith: #1 Rushing TD's. Smith: #1 Rushing yards. Smith: #1 Yards from scrimmage by a RB. Smith: #1 TD's by a RB. He was the most productive RB in the history of the NFL. Sure that was due to longevitiy which should be a credit to him. Look at the average career of an NFL running back. The fact that Smith showed the toughness to stick it out and be productive through all those seasons is a testament to his greatness. The same could be said about Aaron in baseball. He was remarkably consistent in hitting HR's. Whether or not he is the greatest HR hitter, I'm not sure, but he certainly isn't overrated. When your not breaking tackles you can play for ever.. If you had the exact same teams who would you rather have at RB? I'd take Payton, Brown and Sanders over Smith any day..
