For the record for 4 years with Self's guys Weber lost 16 games. In a year plus since he has had all Self guys he has lost 16 games. Hell bring back Lon Kruger. Do you think we're going to be anything less than a Big 10 contender with McCamey, Bertrand, Paul, Richardson, Richmond, Davis, and Tisdale using up most minutes? I understand the frustration, and this year is going to suck(next year too if we don't get Legion), but happier times are definitely on the horizon. If we didn't get those 3 huge committs(along with Simpson), then I could understand the desire to dump Bruce, but things are turning aroudn on the recruiting front, and Bruce is still a good coach.

Boy do I hope UCLA meets Texas in the tourney. EJ, UMFan...bring it. UCLA @ Michigan Saturday morning. UM lost to Harvard.

Unsealed Grimsley affidavit names Sosa [amphetamines]
SouthSideRyan replied to 98navigator's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
My feeling exactly. If we start crucifying and holding amphetamines against players, then we need to dig a lot deeper than just a few years back. At least we'll get a good white man back with the HR record. -
Greg Couch is a horse's ass.

For the record, Miami isn't even the worst team we lost to. They're a better team than Maryland.
-
Miami's good. not miami, miami...miami of ohio. i just hope the illini can win @ purdue on jan. 19th....my girlfriend and i are making the trip up to w. lafeyette and she is a big purdue fan...i don't want to imagine how much bull i'll have to take on the car ride home if the illini lose. Miami(OH) would beat Miami(Homicide) by about 20 points.

Only when the woman dies to her good Christian death will I believe she wasn't a witch. -
So we just lost to Miami. I'm starting to believe there's a chance we lose to Mizzou :(

Fick didn't get horrendously bad until recently. He was quite useful in Detroit.
-
This is a bad contract. Dayton Moore is not living up to the hype lately.

Games start tomorrow night. Last chance.

They are talking about middle infield on Sports Central. Kaplan is saying that the Cubs have already told Theriot that he is their guy at SS on opening day. I don't think DeRosa is going to play SS. How have the Cubs not realized Theriot sucks? Nope, the conversation went something like ......Theriot is the Cubs guy and now that he knows he will be the everyday player, he will be in better shape coming into Spring Training next year. Apparently, the Cubs think he wore himself out last year. Then the Cubs are idiots.

Murton's trade value is minimal. The Cubs feel Patterson has minimal value. I like Gallagher a lot, but I could live with this deal. I'd be really pissed if I was Murton and got traded to Baltimore and remained a platoon player. Lou has to have an open mind about DeRosa at SS if this trade goes through.

I vaguely remember cubs.com before the overhaul, don't think I went to the message boards. I think I had the same name on the mlb.com era Cubs board. Hmmm, I was probably briefly The Frontman.
-
How bout this, in most situations(barring something like a late inning, close game situation), I'd rather my hitter be up there trying to get on base for himself rather than sacrificing himself to get the runner in or over. I'd rather have good contact and strikeouts than weak contact. If you have to sacrifice some contact to have a better likelihood of getting a hit on the contact you make then you take it.

Dave Littlefield to the Cubs (as a scout)
SouthSideRyan replied to GoCubsGo1679625768's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Jake needs some happiness in his baseball life. -
Assuming Piniella manages out his contract, and there's no disaster scenario with the team, I'd say Trammell has the inside edge, then Ryno, then Jody. A lot of this depends on where the team is in a success cycle.
-
I'm personally still a big Pie fan, and don't want him dealt unless we get something big in return. TT's been driving his bandwagon since Felix was in A ball. I don't think anyone's really falling in love with Sam Fuld. Hendry was pretty widely mocked around here for declaring Fuld as untouchable.

Orlando Cabrera trade?
SouthSideRyan replied to 98navigator's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Sure you're not recallin Adam Everett? Cabrera is good defensively, I don't recall him rating out as great. EDIT: And now I see Cabrera wasn't even good last year. -
:-k If he'd quit standing next to Sean Marshall in the team photo... If he started standing next to Fontenot he'd look about 7'4"

I just kinda assume that most people who've never been in college while the site's been in existence are in their mid 30s.
-
Was just coming to post this. Yipes.
-
Little known fact, we had back to back lefties ALL FREAKIN YEAR LONG LAST YEAR. How'd that work out for us? Why do you think we lost games 2 and 3?
-
Fred still didn't fit in.
-
If he woulda showed some loyalty to the Cubs, the Astros contract offer would be highly illegal.
