  1. You know Rammy is hitting better....might be a good time to move him up to 3-4. Then again, as I often mention, when your 1-2 hitters excel at not getting on base, having him hit behind Barrett and Walker isn't bad.
  2. Great, he's getting jeered at by Cubs fans on the road too... he must really hate us ha
  3. I was just going to rip Dusty for putting the slowest bat on the team up with Lidge out there.
  4. Alex Cintron? Boy are they living a charmed life. I am actually going to watch the 9th of that game over the 9th of the Cubs game
  5. I wonder what our scout ratios are in South and Central America and Asia compared to the US From what I've read on here the Cubs have stopped putting forth a lot of effort in scouting in other countries which I think is terrible. But Cublike
  6. Someone tell the offense that its not May anymore and that Wandy sucks
  7. Bring in Aardsma for some 102 MPH heat!
  8. Kids got nasty stuff, but hitters will adjust
  9. I sense that the optimism threads will die down a bit.
  10. That throw to third by Wood looked like something the 2004 Cubs would do. Question, if the pitcher commits an error, are those runs considered earned or unearned?
  11. Way too much optimism in this thread Cubs lose 12-2.
  12. Walker's power comes in bunches, so I still firmly expect him to hit 15 HRs this year. Theres just something about Walker that IMO baseball insiders don't like about him. They probably think he can't shut up. I still find it interesting that after the postseason that he had with Boston in 2003, they didn't attempt to resign him. Even more interesting that he played the nice guy 'I signed with the Cubs as a backup because I want to win" when the Cubs signed him. Anyways, I am not trying to rip on Walker, I like him and am just throwing out wild speculation.
  13. Carlos Zambrano and Andres Nocioni are easily my 2 favorite athletes....EVER. My friends and I were discussing what sort of reaction Z would have had if he completed the no hitter. Some of the ideas we came up with: - Z would point to the sky and calmly walk off the mound - Z would point to the sky and start dancing around in circles like he was doing a spanish 'ole' dance - Z would clench his fist in victory with a really intense look on his face saying swear words in Spanish for about 5 minutes (most likely scenario) Any ideas?
  14. The only thing that the Cubs should be thinking about is tomorrows game. It's really heartbreaking to win 5 of your last 7 and still remain 10 games under .500. Just keep winning and maybe we can get our hopes up again. Long way to go though.
  15. If what anemic said wasn't true, then why did he have less than 20 SB last year?
  16. plus he has a SB in 9 straight games which ties a Ricky Henderson record from '86. Who didn't see this coming The Cubs coaches that screwed Corey up
  17. If he did, he would have gotten himself in some trouble.
  18. Those oilers are nuts! Normally I'd cheer for the Whalers, but I always cheer for the Canadian team unless the Blackhawks are in it (snicker snicker)
  19. Jones red hot in June. This is Derrek Lee's doing. I know it.
  20. Not going any farther then this, but Jacque Jones, you might want to keep an eye on the ball tonight this time.
  21. emphatic yay For some reason it just sounds too contrived. But then again, its Len we are talking about. It's kinda fun to hear him use the term oppo.
  22. Yay or nay on Len using Oppo? I'm on the fence
