  1. Shockingly, the signing of a MLB contract or two does not magically confer moral fortitude on a player. If guilty, put him away like any other criminal.
  2. Agreed. Thanks for being a voice of reason, Bruce. Bruce should call in to Murph's show and clear it up with him, because I was listening the other day and he was saying it was justified that the Cubs traded Barrett because he was "leaking to the press that everyone hated Lou, when really it was only Barrett." (that's a paraphrase). Apparently it has gotten around to other media members that Barrett is a bad guy who was backstabbing people. I find that very hard to believe.
  3. Go to hell! That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever seen on this board. Seriously, it's the grounds fault? Please. There is nothing wrong with the field itself. I've walked on it, run through the diamond (as part of the Wrigley neighbord days) and that is the least of their worries. Sometimes it's tough to read when a poster is being sarcastic. I didn't think that one was all that difficult to pick up on.
  4. Yeah, stranding leadoff doubles and triples is a specialty of the 2007 Cubs. Surely, a good indicator of a bad ballclub.
  5. Yeah I was just going to say -- unfortunately looks like Vaz is getting it together.
  6. Just today? I'm worried about the rest of the year as well. Me too, but truth be told I'm worried about the entire team for the rest of the year.
  7. It happened in Arizona. I think his license is fine in Arizona right? Dunno. I must say, that "driving while slightly impaired" charge is a new one on me. So .08 is the legal limit for DUI, but at the officer's discretion you can still be charged for "slight impairment" in AZ? Maybe I'm just reading it wrong. Seems way wacko, like totally discretionary or something.
  8. The Trib says he has not been charged with DUI, and results of the test won't be known for 2 weeks: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-070622-bears,1,7203424.story?coll=cs-bears-headlines I must admit, it's becoming tiresome reading about Tank and his escapades with the law. If we haven't gotten there already, we're fast approaching the point where addition by subtraction comes into play.
  9. Doubt this will ever happen. As far as I know the only publicly owned professional sports franchise is the Green Bay Packers. I just want a guy running the Cubs who knows what he is doing and can't stand losing. That's all. It seems to be the most conducive arrangement for winning in MLB from what I've seen. I don't see an IPO as helping put that situation into effect.
  10. hey tree, havent seen you in a while... would you really want to play the same game forever though? think the Commish's office might get upset. So that's why we got Bowen. Our offense was too perfect. Now Bowen can make the outs, the games will end and Seligula will be happy with us. The most elegant, succinct message about Cubs perfection that I have ever seen: AC036198
  11. No doubt. I'm not falling for this scapegoat crap anymore. The problem on this ballclub is, and ever has been, crappy management and GM'ing. Blame Barrett? Alright, he's dense and was an idiot sometimes. Guess who's brainchild he was? Answer that question, and you will have named the real problem with the Cubs at the moment.
  12. Tuh hell wit it. Get Sammy up for 601.
  13. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................... I am going to retire to the cool darkness of my front porch and the company of a cool adult beverage........I can no longer watch this :x Hey....Dan Plesac says this team is about to rip off 15 of 20. Keep the faith :shock: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...i have been hearing that all year...what a joke Plesac isn't a man who I would use as a basis for a large wager, that's for sure.
  14. I wish I can get excited about football. I love it, but I don't have the same passion I do with baseball and the Cubs. Football & baseball are neck & neck for me. I openly use the Bears to soften the blow of poor Cub seasons, and vice versa when the Cubs happen to look good.
  15. Bears camp starts July 27th, gentlemen.
  16. Anyone else feeling like the guy who comes home to find his wife gone and the house cleaned out to the bare walls?
  17. I'm trying not to read more into it, but it sure feels like a lot of air is being let out of our balloon.
  18. A hot wife, plenty of Samba music blaring, and a little dominican "spice" 8-)
  19. The final nail in the coffin. No need to stress your heart anymore, Jim. Time's a comin' to hop on that big boat and head out to sea, forever.
  20. Just cover your eres. I don't care about that, yeah. It's the Cubs. Come on, we all knew deep down inside Sammy was getting his little slice of poetic justice against us.
  21. OMG he's showing us up!!! HIT HIM!! HIT HIM!!
