  1. My favorite is definately the Rey Sanchez call. Stone was like, "Harry I think he just dropped the ball" and Harry said, "Well, what do you know, he did!"
  2. Frank Thoams was and still might be a great player, but he just looks flat out terrible in a hat. Not that it matters, but still.
  3. I didn't know the Cubs were playing meaningful games in 2000.
  4. No. I don't really know what is going on with Bonds. I was just trying to get some discussion going.
  5. Maybe he is smarter than you are giving him credit for and did this so that you will raise the exact question you mentioned.
  6. We all really know why he dropped out...tough steriod screenings.
  7. If Perez is going to play, I want Cedeno playing. I don't want Walker and Perez playing with Cedeno rotting on the bench. Perez played gold glove caliber defense last year. Throw Cedeno in at second. But the Cubs could use more left-handed pop.
  8. The White Sox are that far down? On paper, they are an improved team. I know it is tough to repeat, but I think they deserve more respect than that.
  9. How much do one of those go for? 150,000?
  10. Speaking of amphetmaines, I also heard on the SCORE with Murf that they cannot make you a better baseball player, they only make your bad days less bad. Is that true?
  11. I am not sure if this has been discussed yet, but B/B on the SCORE today mentioned that amphetamines are an ingredient in 1 of 2 of the main drugs used to treat ADD. Would this new ban effect Eyre or could he get a waiver because he uses the pills for medical purposes? If the league says yes it could open the doors to an array of other people trying to get behind the new rule.
  12. Was anyone listening the the SCORE today with Murph where he had on a local Chicago businessman who wanted to buy the Cubs in '81 and actually outbid the Tribune Co. and is interested this time around too if the Tribune Co wishes to sell? What was the jist of the interview?
  13. I rememebr this summer when Cuban said he'd like to own the Cubs....I about fell out of my chair. Big time payroll does NOT equal a good team ala this year's Cubs. I wouldnt mind Cuban being the owner, but you need quality playes, not just big time money players.
  14. Would that make Derek Lee the best overall hitter in the league?
  15. I am watching the Sax game on WGN before the game got on ESPN because of the NL game and the color was fine. Then when it switched over to WGN and ESPN the WGN color went fuzzy. Did ESPN do that on purpose to get people to watch it on ESPN and catch their commercials? Are they allowed to make the WGN feed off-color?
  16. Honestly, in your guys opinion, who is a better manager, Tracy or Baker? Also, what about Pineilla comign here? Steve Stone on the SCORE said that the current regime would never hire him. I would love him. Next I would try to pick up Joe Girardi. Don Baylor is also available as hitting coach (JK).
  17. how to turn around the Cubs." That's what an 8 year old kid who I know said to Jim Hendry at the Cubs' hotel in Pittsburgh over the weekend. A friend of mine took his son to Pitt and stayed in the Cubs' hotel. They got every player's autograph including the announcers except for Nomar who only signs 10 per day during his pregame routine (and if you thoguht his between pitch routine was superstitious his pergame routine is even crazier. He does the same routine before every game to the T including ONLY signing 10 autographs). They got pictures with Derek Lee and some other guys. All the Cubs were friendly. So the kid talks to Hendry at the hotle and tells him to get Damon and Furcal. Hendry said "I'll work on it!"
  18. I saw him at Sandberg's ceremony? Has he gotten any votes? Is he worthy?
  19. Would he ever get into coaching?
  20. A half game better than the Cubs. I am crying.
  21. When Wood pitched in the playoffs in 2003 and looked unbelievable. I told myself the Cubs HAVE to sign this guy long term. He was throwing heat and had a nasty hook. Even with all of the pressure one thing looked different: he body stayed together during the windup and his mechanics incredibly comapct. Why can't he do that again? When Wood throws against his body he doesn't open up his hips and shoulders enough. He doesn't point his left foot toward homeplate. Granted this is hard, but when I pitch I like to have my left foot aimed directly at home plate and my right foot headed in that direction too. THis is hard to do on the mound, but that is how I pitch. So is that Wood's problem, he needs to open his hips up more so he doesnt throw against his body?
  22. Man, Bruce Miles chatting. I rememeber the good old days on the ESPN board with davemason saying Bruce Miles just announced such and such trade and now the real thing is here. Whatever happened to goonygoogoo9?
  23. Sorry, I havent read this whole thread, but the Pirates are giving one million to the Cubs. So this was a player for player trade with even money? WHy would the Pirates do this trade?
  24. Macias has a good average, but on the radio today even Pat and Ron were berating him and many other Cubs for not running out plays. Macias didnt run out his bunt today and even Pat was all over him. You can feel the fever picking up with Ron cause he is beginning to yell again.
