I dont think the man knows how to pitch, much less when and what to pitch, anymore now then if he ever did.

I'm not so sure. If Patterson gets on a roll, and Pie hits 260/320, we could afford a Murton in LF. Now if for some crazy reason Sing gets a call up and hits the street running, or Huff is delivered to our doorsteps, we could have a very productive and young OF You want Pie, Patterson, and Murton as your OF next year :shock: ? That's got 4th place written all over it. Sorry, but that would be just terrible. A career dead-ender in RF (cory), a young and not ready CF in Pie, and a AAA player in LF in Murton who will come back to earth (even though he really hasn't flown very high in the first place). That's even worse than what we left camp with this year. Please tell me you were just kidding. I'm not. I dont see Patterson as a "career dead-ender", and for Pie, it might be a jump, but I would accept it. Murton is the iffy part, but as I stated, Huff (or perhaps even Floyd via trade) would make a very nice addition. that would make Pie/Patterson 2/3 of our OF, which you seem terrified of.

I guess my worry is they might just come damn close, only to fail, which means we will see them next year.....

Terrible Collision between Mets Outfielders
minnesotacubsfan replied to E.J.'s topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
that was horrible i pray for both of those guys...man. looks like they will recover........ as for the mets, lets hope not.... -
I'll feel better if the Cubs happened to sweep the Cards in this series, but I wouldn't get optimistic unless we strung some amazing win streak together - like the 15 games back in 2001. That, or it's a 3-game deficit in the WC for us with a series vs. Houston. I think that streak was more like 11 games. nope. 15 I think

I have a deep fear that the success of this line up may push Dusty to try it again and again and again. and worse, we start winning alot with it. we end up just missing the playoffs, bu its enough for Hendry to bring Macias, perez, dutchvalue, etc back next year. someone slpa me, I am haviing a nightmare :willynilly:
-
My thoughts too. maddux up 2 and 3. so you fail you got 1 and 3 with 2 outs and still got a chance to score a run. You guys know Dusty doesn't squeeze, right? He's said on numerous occasions that he doesn't believe in it. Yeah i know :( Probably doesnt like it because when he was up and the manager called that play he felt 'slighted'. 'What you dont have confidence in me' BS I thought I heard he didnt like it because he feared the batter missing the sign and swinging into the runner from 3rd, knocking him out...... whatta I know....

i THINK LASSORDA IS PLAYING DOWN TO THE CUBS THEY WANNA RUB IT IN LOUD NOISES! Turn your caps off, my friend. He has to leave them on. Some work-related thing. Just consider it part of the enjoyment that is the game thread. my sinc. appologies. work gets in the way of real life (the Cubs) too much
-

-
yeah, walker will be traded before sept. 1=damage control. wish i could have heard the interview
-
Are you freakin Sh#$ING me? I come back from lunch to see this....it woudl be painful if it mattered, or if it weren't so funny. [/b] this was precisely my thought. dusty is grasping at straws big time. of course, we will win by 6 runs today......
-
Dusty has to go NOW... guess it's not gonna happen

LMAO "The Miles and Mariotti Trio, w/special guest on bass, Steve Stone!" I like it. edit: stoney seems like a better bassist then sullivan. he just has the hair for it..... -
he'll start. dusty will get itchy fingers and throw him into a situation he doesnt belong. of course hendry will look the other way and give Dusty 100% confidence
-
care to explain? ahhh.....I have Williams and Williamson switched around ......long awkward pause.......
-
FIRE HIM. I AM SOO SICK OF HIM BEING SO STUCK IN THE MUD. WOOD IS THE BIGGEST REASON I WANT HIM GONE, HE HAS ALLOWED WOOD TO CONTINUE TO RESIST CAHNGE, AND HE CANT DEVELOP A BULLPEN TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

I DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF CEDENO BATTING 2, ALTHOUGH i AGREE WITH HIM AT SS AND GARCIAPARRA AT 2B. i THINK IT GOES: MURTON GARCIAPARRA LEE ARAM HUFF/PATTERSON PIE CEDENO BARRETT PITCHER i AM REALLY NOT SOLD ON HUFF. HE WOULD COST US HILL, PINTO, GALLEGHER, ETC ETC ETC. IS HE WORTH IT?
