  1. If I remember correctly, after the first couple of ST games last year Lou got mad that they weren't playing good fundamental baseball
  2. I never understand when people say stuff like this. Getting to the playoffs is much harder than actually having success once you're there. Not if you're in the NL Central
  3. The Cubs have the starting pitching to get to the playoffs. They don't have enough to get any farther than that.
  4. Humpty Dumpty
  5. Are you kidding? I thought it was awesome. It was fun to watch, but the injury issue bothers me. Plus, it takes away from the team's regular spring training. With guaranteed contracts in baseball, its not fair to the owners.
  6. I didn't think they were doing this dumb tournament again
  7. It's been 100 years since the Cubs won a title. Please remember this. Yes he's done everything that expected of him, but if you want to win a championship, you have to make trades that better your team. Roberts makes the Cubs a better team. If DeRosa's feelings get hurt in route to a Cubs' championship I don't really care. Plus ARam might get hurt, Soriano might get hurt and so forth. He will get his chances. Plus, DeRosa has not been the most consistent player around. His lat two years were good, but it isn't like he had has 5-7 great years. Roberts has been more consistent.
  8. Wrong Why don't you think so? Even DeRosa admits it.
  9. Double post
  10. While 2B is not a hole, Roberts is a better player than DeRosa is. The leadoff spot is a need on this team. I am getting a little tired of DeRosa now.
  11. Actually steroids did
  12. Ouch! i think that was a compliment, actually. you're not going to put him in the first tier (ie Victor Martinez, Jorge Posada, etc.) at this point in his career, so I think the writer was saying that outside of drafting a superstar catcher, you could do worse than Soto on your fantasy team Yeah 1st tier guys would be Vmart, Martin, McCann, Mauer, Posada. So they are saying he has as much upside as the #6 C in baseball. I could see Soto being just as good as Martin and McCann when you look at his skills overall. They might be better offensively, but doesn't Soto have the edge defensively?
  13. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d5e_1190657010
  14. because you might miss an incredible finish to the game!
  15. In his first season with the Cubs, Lee started out slow and then heated up
  16. How did Mikita and Hull ever become so alienated in the first place? Something Wirtz did?
  17. "I don't booze it up every night" to the manager of the RV facility. Sure...
  18. The Tribune article said that they are only broadcasting 150 games. Is that if there is scheduling conflict with the Blackhawks?
  19. He's a groundball pitcher so it might not matter that much. But isn't Maddux too with his sinker?
  20. The home/away homerun totals are not that different. The 2006 stats need to be divided between the home field as Wrigley and the home field as Dodger Stadium.
  21. Which pitcher has better numbers since the 2006 trade? Granted Maddux has played in pitcher's parks, but the stats were surprising. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080301-carlos-zambrano-chicago-cubs,1,3920805.story
  22. So possible suitors are Bob Knight and Scott Skiles. Anyone else? Also, you think Knight quit TT knowing that there was a good chance Samson would be out and that he would get another shot at a national championship?
  23. What is so bad about Dakich that the players don't want to play for him?
