I'd blow up Wrigley for a championship in a second, but since that's not going to happen, Wrigley is nice to have around while we whittle away these losing days.
-
Even the DPs that Pujols hits into are hard hit, see his game ending DP against the Cubs in July
-
He takes himself out of games whenever he is losing and he hits batters intentionally everytime he gives up a key HR
-
Heh, seems like we go through this thread every 6 months or so...maybe we should stickie it ;)

You know...just start Macias over Patterson...
UMFan83 replied to Wheelimus's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think Patterson's range and defense make up for the advantage Macais has in his paper thin numbers. -
There was a player who was 6'5'' 230 lbs from the Transamerica team, which I believe is a team in Saudi Arabia or something. I saw it on ESPN when they played Japan.

Exactly, 2003 was about a bunch of veterans and young starters that got hot at the right time and made it to the NLCS. I don't blame Hendry and MacPhail for stripping the team and revamping. They built around the right players, but those other 21 guys they got were wrong for whatever reason
-
Yup, that would make more sense. And looking into it, Bobby Cox is/was the Braves manager from 1978-1981;1990-2005, thus negating a couple of their worst years.

8/21 Cubs (Maddux) @ Rockies (Francis), 2:05 pm WGN
UMFan83 replied to Garwilly's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
And thats a season folks. Kerry your surgeon is calling -
Yeah seriously, please clairify. No team can go that long without a 3 game losing streak.
-
Yeah what is up with that defense lately? Honestly, I didn't expect the Cubs to sweep the Rockies. They are around a .500 team at home, and with Nomar out most of the series, I expected the offense to suffer a bit. But losing with scenarios in the 8th is brutal. Bases loaded 1 out, and they put the least likely person to hit a ball into the OF in there to hit. I understand if they can't PH Nomar because he can't play D yet, and you'd rather have Neifi's D in for the 9th inning. What are your other choices at SS if you PH? Macais is PR, Hairston can't play SS for some reason, Nomar is hurt. These are reasons why players like Neifi shouldn't be on the team. Oh and Corey....don't even get me started. Bottom line, if the Cubs win 2 out of 3 every series, and 3 of 4 every 4 game series, they should still end up with about 88 wins. Expecting to sweep any series on the road is setting yourself up for failure. Let's hope we can get the series win today
-
Sure glad Corey had that month to clear his head and change his hitting approach. How about next time we make it a year?
-
5 Rockies have swung at the first pitch in the last 2 innings (7 batters)
-
Rusch is auditioning for closer next year by getting into trouble every inning. The only problem is, sometimes he is not getting out of it.
-
I can't speak for anyone else, but my mama taught me not to talk with my mouth full of crow. are you telling people to eat crow because rusch had one good inning? :roll: Corey Patterson hit a HR once :lol:
-
The Cubs can't lose quietly :)
-
Corey gets criticized for blowing it every single game. I guarentee he'll blow it again tonight. If he doesen't, I'll put "CaliforniaRaisen is God" in my sig. Who should we blame besides the .230 hitting Centerfielder? :)
-
I wish we were facing someone like Roger Clemens or Roy Halladay tonight
-
This place quieted in a hurry
-
Maybe Corey needs to get bumped up to leadoff for a few weeks to cure his slump.
-
If I'm adding this up correctly, if scores stay the same, the worst we can do is lose 1/2 a game. I guess thats a good thing
-
:D Thank you steve stone. It did once at Coors Field in its 10 years of baseball.
-
Are you sure he was trying to go 3 1/3 innings cause he sure had trouble getting the first out in the 4th :)
-
I still don't see the Wild Card winner winning 90 games, unless Florida actually plays consistant and runs away with it. I see 87 wins or so taking it, meaning the Cubs need to go 27-13. Still don't see that happening unless Glendon and Maddux are very good down the stetch. But let's take it game by game and hope everything works out.
