    What in the?

    Montreal? I think (hope) it was a joke

    Well Jim Hendry certainly succeeded in taking the heat off the losing streak in my personal book, because I haven't been excited for a game in a few weeks like I am tonight. It almost doesn't feel like we are on a lifeless 8 game losing streak

    Thanks for digging through all my useless comments and finding the gold of that chat DJAXX! :)

    A positive Corey thread? And all it took was a humiliating trip to the minors. Well anyways, good luck Corey. I may not be your biggest fan, but I am also very fickle if you know what I mean :). Go out there and mash the ball, but only if you've worked the count and waited for your pitch.

    I might be a buyer for either of you guys...stay tuned

    Mods are going to have a long night ahead of them moving all those Corey Patterson thread to the Minor League forum :lol:

    Other then the difficulty of getting rid of Wood given his contract and having Jerry for a full year at CF, I think thats a sound start. I agree with what you said about the type of manager this club needs. We got Dusty to turn lemons into lemonade. Now we have talent and don't know how to use it properly.

    C'mon guys, just one win. Go Cubs!

    The sad thing is that you are probably right. Yes, but the "vote of confidence" is usually a death knell for most managers. With the Cubs, it will probably actually BE a "vote of confidence." Well he's already gotten one this year and lived to talk about it

    I can't stand when people say that players from a losing team don't care or have no heart.
  12. UMFan83
    Holy.....
  13. UMFan83
    Im done with this team if they arent sellers. But I presume they will be so it's all good
  14. UMFan83
    In Dusty we laughy

    I thought this would be the one thread without mention of the losing streak

    Prior is good, even the best fall down sometimes. Wood was better in 2003, injuries and changes in mechanics have led to him failing to reach his lofty expectations. Fluke? No....but extremely lucky? Yes. Play that season 100 times, we make the playoffs maybe 25 times, we make it to the NLCS 10 times, we play game 7 3 times I wasn't trying to say Prior's not good. I know he's good. I was just saying maybe he's not as good as what we saw in 2003. After the 2003 season there wasn't 1 person in baseball I would have traded Prior straight up for. Now there are many people I would trade him for. Including several pithcers. Really? Care to make a list Maybe I'm stubborn but there still isn't any player except maybe Pujols (ignoring salary) that I would trade Prior for.

    I'm going to hit myself with a blunt object and slip into a coma where its September 27, 2003, Sammy is running into RF spraying champaign on the bleacher bums, and the Wrigley crowd is chanting "Go Cubs Go"
  18. UMFan83
    I'm a Cubs fan and will support them until the end. But obviously its not easy all the time

    He pitches for the Cubs... I am about done with this team. I wonder if I can get a refund on my MLB Extra Innings... I am far from done with this team. Honestly, if we lose enough to lose all hope of the playoffs, thats when the fun begins. We get to see the rookies playing, and there are no expectations to win. Obviously its not the fun of a pennant race, but c'mon a Cubs fan has to be used to still finding a reason to follow them even when they are terrible.
  21. UMFan83
    I think Dusty expected the Cubs to get 7 next inning so Prior could get the win :roll:
  22. UMFan83
    6:30 CST...looking forward to that Smoltz/Williams matchup are we?
  23. UMFan83
    Looks like we'll be in 4th place after this day Having visions of 1999 here
  24. UMFan83
    Priors pitch count approaching 100 Can Dusty get fired in between games?
  25. UMFan83
    Is it 4:20 yet because Prior is getting lit up
