  2. Isn't Durham a swing at every pitch type guy too? He has a career .073 IsoD, so probably not.
  3. i joined but that labor day draft is pretty bad timing. oh well, the autodraft gods might do me well.
  4. speaking of, time to ditch the cubs avatar and get in football mode
  5. carson palmer was sexy tonight.
  6. Was Larry Bowa well-received as a Cub? I couldn't stand him. I didn't think he was much of a fan favorite, but I could be wrong considering I was just a kid when he played. and when the hell did anyone like jose hernandez?
  7. JETER JETER PUMPKIN EATER
  8. i apologize again reds fans, since the cardinals are certainly going to sweep the cubs this weekend to provide you with no help try to win anyways
  9. one more for veal, come on fools.
  10. my college has a bigger penis than your college
  11. your first mistake was listening to this idiot
  12. so you're suggesting that the cubs are going to bring up this catcher from a ball to replace barrett?
  13. there's no excuse for glendon not to be dfa'd
  14. Don't get me wrong, I know there's no chance Murton is in CF next year. That's what I want though. I'm sure Pierre is back next season
  15. I'm a Murton fan...but, I don't care how hard he trained..he would be a nightmare in CF defensively. why? Not very good speed/range, not very good arm strength. i always thought murton had decent speed. agree on the arm strength (but we deal with that now with pierre), and range, well, i have to plead ignorant. but i think a winterball of playing cf and some coaching, he'd at least be competent out there, and at worst slightly below average. i'd say he'd do an equivalent job as jerry hairston given some training out there.

    i wish you could talk to my fancy computer machine, it disagrees with most everything you say
  19. I wish the Cubs would make Murton train extra hard and learn to play CF for next year, and upgrade at LF next year with some sort of big bat. Then let Murton bad leadoff next season.

    Wow, do you watch games? as for OBP being important, it is the single whole belief of the A's system to 9 OBP monsters...and exactly how many World Series' have they played in with that philosophy??? scoring runs matters, the other team not scoring runs matters more. OBP matters little. awesome, about time the "do you watch games" counter argument came. yes, i watch games. hitting 4 groundouts to move a runner isn't a great game. it's not the worst possible game, but it's a bad game. it'd be a good game if on one of those groundouts, he instead drove a double to score the runner, or even if he drew a walk to prolong the inning. nice try on the a's argument. it's completely irrelevant and ignorant. how many red sox world series titles did they win with "get as good an obp as possible" philosophy?

    29 when the cubs hire earl weaver

    it's a bad night. outs are precious, and with a runner on base, even more precious. rarely is an out worth moving a runner.
  23. the end of the 2004 season combined with the beginning of the 2005 season, when even the most ardent neifi-hater was starting to wonder if cubbie blue somehow turned neifi into a productive player. thankfully, our original suspicious were correct. (.371/.400/.548 as a cub in 2004 and .368/.403/.559 in april 2005)
  24. rocket

    yes, it's a bad night.
