    My bad if this has already been asked, but... Question: if this weren't Castro, but a player from another team, let's say the Cards or the Brewers, or even a Cub that's not as popular as Castro, who would you all be blaming - the player or the woman?
  2. mopapa
    So when Z loses his mind (again) and injures a teammate or fan, does that make the Cubs liable for keeping the nutcase around?
  3. mopapa
    When your only NL option is the Brewers, rooting for the Cardinals is clearly the better choice.

    Blasted firewall! :x Can't watch the video - what is it? Who brawled?

    I remember walking in the house, the game on WGN. All they were showing was the Cubs fans sitting stunned in the stands. I asked my mother what happened, she said "They lost." :shock: I couldn't believe it. The image of the fans sitting in the stands, heads in hands, resting on railings, in complete and utter shock, will live in my mind forever. The only other time I felt so badly for a player was for Bill Buckner in 1986.

    I can understand wanting to move a team into the AL, but why did they choose Houston? Not that I care, I'm just curious. Other states could have that AL/NL rivalry it seems like they're going for, Cubs/White Sox, Yankees/Mets, Marlins/Rays, etc. Does their overall record have anything to do with the requested move?

    I've heard several commentators say that Milwaukee management has tried to get the team to tone down celebrations (pulling out the shirt tails, the whole staged Prince homerun everyone fall down at the plate kind of stunts). Whoever decided to stop those displays should defintitely tell Morgan to knock it off. If I had to watch him on a regular basis, I'd absolutely despise him. As it is, I just mildly detest him. That type of histrionics doesn't belong on a professional baseball field. Or a non-professional baseball field, for that matter.

    Where's Counsell? The only ones I can spot are Morgan, McGhee, Fielder, and Braun. The guy behind McGhee looks like Joey from "Friends". And Fielder looks a little like Hank Williams, Jr.

    I don't care one way or the other about him, I haven't read all of these posts, and I'm just making an observation, but for people who hate Theriot as much as you guys say you do, you seem to spend an extraordinary amount of time and energy talking about him. Just sayin'.
  10. mopapa
    Forgive the blasphemy, but what would happen if some incredibly amazing offer came in for Castro? Don't ask me what offer, cause I couldn't begin to say. But if it were truly an amazing offer, would you guys be okay with it? More or less?
  11. mopapa
    I'm sure you feel you've got a good reason to dislike Theriot, but why would you wish cancer on anyone? Maybe it's because I've seen too many people die with the disease, but I don't find any kind of "humor" in this. Dislike someone all you want, but don't wish cancer on anyone.

    I've noticed that Theriot wears a band on his wrist; then I noticed that Piniella wears one, and over the weekend saw that Hunter Pence is also wearing one. It's a thin, brown (or white) band. I'm guessing it's supporting something, but what? Anyone have any idea what it is?

    Okay, Zambrano's going to the pen. That still means that some type of roster move has to be made when Lilly comes back, right? As in, someone has to be removed to make room for Lilly, right? So who goes where?

    At work, no TV or radio, haven't been following. What lovely sign? Who's the cat lady?

    That is awesome. Everything about it is hysterical. Ozzie making out with someone sox fans jumping on the bandwagon Harry singing from heaven USCellular flying off The fan with the Steve Garvey voodooo doll Bartman I don't get the devil in the puddle or the leprechauns though... Devil in the puddle=hell freezing over? The leprechauns - pot of gold at the end of the rainbow=good luck?

    position Duh! That never even occurred to me! :oops: Thanks.
  17. mopapa
    Hate to sound dumb, but... What do the numbers behind each name (Castro 6, Baker 4, etc.) mean? Is that the number of innings they're expected to play?
  18. mopapa
    I love Theriot, he's my favorite current Cub, but methinks he's been bitten by the greed-bug. He made $500,000 last year, and the Cubs are offering him, what, like a 500% salary increase?! Please! Sign the deal, play your butt off, and be grateful.
  19. mopapa
    I don't completely understand the Rule 5 Draft. Are any of the Cubs (major or minor league rosters) eligible to be drafted by another team?
  20. mopapa
    In all fairness, the Cards have only lost, what, like 3 or 4 games since July 30, right?! :wink:
  21. mopapa
    I don't understand the waiver process. If a player on waivers is claimed but his team can pull him out, what's the purpose of putting him on waivers in the first place? Is it just to see if there's a market for him?
  22. mopapa
    Has anyone heard if Theriot's just out for a day of rest, or because of the HBP? Or a little of both?
  23. mopapa
    What is up with Theriot?! Four stolen bases in two games? Dang. Wow, but... dang.

    I guarantee Milton Bradley leaves town as one of the most hated Cubs ever. The recent espn article mentions how he has really poisioned the Cubs clubhouse. I'd do whatever it took to get rid of this guy. Seriously, what a horrible decision to bring him here. Just another example of how inept the Cubs front office is. What recent espn article? I must have missed it. Anyone have a link? Thanks.

    While it's been fun to see the extra power from him, at this point I'd prefer he return to the way he hit last year. He's already struck out 32 times - last year he had only 58 strikeouts for the entire season. Maybe now's the time to try to forget what Lou said and go back to hitting almost everything to right field. And even thought most of his hits last year were singles, that's better than a strikeout, for everyone.
