This is embarrassing when the players say this

I've always been a big Hawkins fan, and I understand he tanked for us. I was very disappointed with him as much as anyone. But this boo-ing, (whether or not he brought it on) is class-less. let the man move on with his life. Besides, its not as if LaTroy did NOTHING for the cubs, he was a solid if not premier set-up guy who got thrown into a bad mix. Let it go you bums (those who boo) -
I LOVE THE WAY HE BATS, HE DOESNT LOOK OVERMATCHED AT ALL, HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS COMMANDING THE PITCHER TO THROW HIM A HITTABLE PITCH. ALMOST BELLHORN-LIKE, BUT BETTER... Bellhorn-like hitter? There's no need to insult Matt. He can actually make non-foul ball contact regularly and he's not a whiff machine. And he's not looking to pull the ball - which I thought was against Cub law. He's looking to wait back as long as possible, see the pitch as much as possible, and then hit it on the screws to center or take it to right. He's great to watch to hit, tho I didn't see it last night (friggin power outage with every friggin storm in this friggin town). huh, i didnt know i was insulting him... I really wish Baker would allow him to bat against righties, though. telling the kid "your a platoon player, you hit against lefties" is just wishie washie. we are trying to get to the playoffs, let someone win the pos for crying out loud. it isnt fair for Holla or Murton

YOU REALIZE HE HAS DONE THAT AGAINST LEFTIES, WHICH IN DUSTY'S MIND PROVES HIS POINT THAT HE IS NOT READY TO HIT MLB RIGHTIES, JUST LEFTIES, I MEAN LOOK AT HIS #'S AGIANST LEFTIES!!! (SARCASIM)

Heh. I think the rain will stop completely in a few minutes. Looking at the radar, the back end of the storm (front) is just about to pass Chicago. oh happy days. I hate the Houston Astros with a fiery passion that burns me more than the hatred I have for the Cardinals. Houston hatred>Iowa Hatred Wow. That is some serious hatred for a someone named illiniguy. Think about what they gave away this offseason Beltran and Kent. Add to that Bagwell is done and they have lost about what 90 homers 300 rbis yet they are still playing this well. It is flat out ridiculous. I GET THE FEELING THAT THIS SURGE OF THEIRS WONT BE AS SUSTAINED AS LAST YEARS, IT TOOK BELTRAN AND HIS REALLY GOOD 2ND HALF LAST YEAR TO GET THEM INTO THE PLAYOFFS, THEY DONT HAVE THAT THIS YEAR

I'm gonna do my best, but I have to work at 7:30 AM... ahhh, stupid summer jobs. I HAVE TO WORK AT 7:30 TOO, BUT THAT AINT GONNA KEEP ME FROM MY CUBBIES AND BEER!!! JUST TEASIN YA.

all I can say is Chad Fox. If Wood is in the pen, and is having shoulder problems, I dont care what the doctors say, the last person I would trust his shoulder and career to would be Dusty. shut him down and get him scoped.

Nomar's Peoria rehab will go through July 28th. FWIW the Jaxx are home from July 29-August 4th, while the Iowa Cubs will be at Tacoma and Portland From July 29-August 2 before returning to Iowa for games August 4-August 11. dusty said last night during the game Nomah would end up in Iowa or W. Tenn, depending on who was playing at home. looks like you may get to see him play in Jackson

imo =in my opinion sticky just means that thread will stay at the top of the message group no matter how many posts it recieves
-
ok, I've had it, please explain to me
minnesotacubsfan replied to minnesotacubsfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
cool. thanks ya'll. I appreciate the heads up. interesting stat, none-the-less -
What is the "whip" stat for pitchers? how is it calculated? I see this term all over the msg board, and I have been to shy to ask, but I REALLY GOTTA KNOW.
-
forgive my memory, but was it Kearns or Casey who was sent to the minors earlier this year? freakin Reds have too many stud of's.
-
I cant find this 15 day DL anywhere. are we sure he is being put on the DL? I read only 1 missed start...
-
maybe the reds want to get rid of Jr.
-
he also destroys leftys, icld Rusch, Mulder, Merker wow. hits Cordero (Wash) pretty well too.
-
I honestly see Dunn's OBP going down and SO going up with a small boost in AVE if he came to the Cubs, a la Baker. I also wouldnt want to trade 3-4 of our best prospects for him. we would have to give up a healthy Guzman + to get the guy, and we dont have that. If he had to be traded, and it was between LA and us, i would say 70%chance hses in Dodger Blue, 30% chance hes in Cubbie Blue do to the Dodgers supply of upper shelf pitching prospects.

AHH CAPS LOCK ALERT!!!!!!!! :P HEY, I'M AN ARCHITECT, I HAVE MY CAPLOCKS ON ALLLL DAY...LEAVE ME ALONE :D

BRUCE, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CUBS HAVE PLANNED FOR CPATT? DOES HE STILL HAVE A FUTURE HERE? THANX FOR POPPING IN!
-
I'm assuming Dusty will start Hairston
minnesotacubsfan replied to Post Count Padder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
ITS YAHOOS WAY OF EXPLAINING THE WHOLE DEAL I DONT CARE MUCH FOR THEM.... -
honestly, I think you can add Barrett Wood Williams maybe Maddux (unless released after July 31) but I'm all for a shake up
-
no. for as bad as Wood has been, Zito has been worse the last few years Maybe Wood for Zito + Kotsay
-
yeah, i think the blood has been in the water long enough
