    Now would be a good time for a pitcher to go back out there and not give up some, all, or more of the runs than the Cubs just scored. It drives me crazy when that happens.

    If you were Hendry you wouldn't run anywhere!! Waddle?
  3. cubfan1955
    If I were Hendry I'd run out to second base and extend Womack.
  4. cubfan1955
    Womack is my here.

    I wonder what inning Dusty will double switch Neifi into the game?

    Thank you for taking one for the team. :D

    Question: Would the above scenario top losing a game on a 2-run sac fly? Or an infield fly bouncing off a defender's head? I just can't see either of those ever happening in a major league game. [/sarcasm] :wink:

    It's all about attitude, cubfan1955 ...... CUBS are winning, 0-0 !! Go CUBS !! Yep, I have to find my good vibes somewhere.

    Alright. We're still tied. Good day so far. :lol:

    I think a lot of that comes from his surly attitude than his use of steroids. I still would not care for the man if steroids were never an issue. I remember Jack Buck once commenting about Bonds before steroids ever were suspected. Buck said Hello to Bonds on the field before a game and Bonds looked him straight in the eye and walked right past him without saying a word. You reap what you sew.

    I fault Corey's failure on bad coaching and jacking him around in the lineup and not because he was brought up too early. He was progressing nicely even in Dusty's first year until the injury. Then when he came back in 2004, the multitude of coaches (and manager) giving him conflicting advice screwed him beyond repair until he could get away from them. Funny that he now seems to be back on track with Baltimore. With our manager and coaches there will never be a good time to bring up young players because they don't know how to coach them.

    Maybe today is the day. :cry:

    Isn't there speculation that Maris and his contemporaries were on amphetamines? Players have been skirting the rules since the rules were made, I don't really see the point in getting so upset at Bonds, and I don't like him one bit. Where did I say I was upset with Bonds? They guy I'm most upset with is Bud Selig for turning a blind eye to the problem. And since when do amphetamines give you a boost in power. They make your more alert and hyper but don't give you more strength to turn flyballs into homeruns. I suppose if you want to take it to extremes you could argue somehow hotdogs and beer gave Ruth an unfair advantage. Its not unfair because hot dogs and beer are available to all and legal. Maybe only the Babe knew of their powers? :lol:

    All in all, that was infuriating to read. Rusch should get the next start. Who would you rather have make that start? Personally since this season is basically over as far as a post season birth goes I'd just as soon they bring Guzman back and let him get the experience this year and have him ready for duty next year. Glendon has proved throughout his career he's not a very good pitcher and 9 K's in relief doesn't change it for me...although evidently it does for Dusty. He gave up 3 runs in 4 innings yesterday which computes to a 6.75 ERA. I just don't see how you reward a guy for that performance. Especially a guy that shouldn't even be figuring into the teams plans for the future.
  16. cubfan1955
    Yes indeed the 5th starter spot has been decided as Dusty proclaimed Glendon would get the next start needed by the 5th starter. Rusch earns a start with 9 K's in relief

    And Roger Maris still holds the single season homerun record in my book. All of the steroid freaks were great talents but a lot of those homeruns would have been routine flyballs without the steroids. Starting with Brady Anderson hitting 50 homeruns, Luis Gonzalez hitting 57, and through Bonds 73 the numbers are just suspect at best regarding homeruns. (Including the two time cheater Sammy Sosa - Corked bat and Steroids)

    I think he shouldn't have appealed and got it out of the way so he's back when Lee, Prior and Miller come back and we start our march to first place. :shock: (Typed with a straight face for about the first 8 letters)

    Concerning Saturdays game of 1 run scored on 10 hits here is an excerpt from a Daily Herald article on the White Sox loss while scoring 2 runs on 14 hits. It shows the contrast of our skipper to Guillen. I'd really like to see Dusty do more of this kind of thing instead of trying to be every players friend. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere.

    I always wanted to see Dunston get into a game as a pitcher.
  21. cubfan1955
    Exactly why he shouldn't have done it with Jones, our hottest hitter, due up next. That ball was smoked and got to Francouer way to fast especially with his arm for Barrett to score. Plus it took us out of the inning with Jones up who has been our hottest hitter this month. I know...that's what I said :wink:
  22. cubfan1955
    Never fear, this is a creative bunch and I'm sure they'll figure out some ways to lose that no ever thought possible before it's over.

    Just another example of our fine coaches. Get a guy thrown out by 15 feet with your best hitter lately coming up. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
