    I still think we're in too big a hole, but it's definitely nice to see a few wins for a change. Losing every damn day, it starts to wear on me. The only danger is, if it keeps up Dusty will be extended----which of course means so will Clines & Sarge.
  2. Soul
    Agreed. It's the ESPN generation of sports. Group-think has become the law. Hypocrisy goes unnoticed by most.
  3. Soul
    That salami a couple days ago was pretty good too. Anything to hear a pin drop @ Busch is a good thing.

    I guess I'm not seeing the fans who booed Jones and are now refusing to acknowledge he is playing better. Can you provide a few examples of posts where someone is saying Jones is still not contributing?
  5. Soul
    Agreed. When you sign on the dotted line to earn millions of dollars to play a game, you are expected to have your head in the game. Baserunning blunders like the ones that Jones displayed made it clearly obvious his head was not in the game. And, yes, he totally deserves to be booed when his head isn't in the game. I'll throw my hat into that ring as well. It wasn't just the hitting. It was the overall suckiness of his play. He deserved those boos, and he got them. And now, he's playing better. So he should be cheered. Pretty simple concept. .....oh, and if he sucks again he should be booed again 8)

    Miller is 1000 times better than the dump they used to play in, that's for sure. I think they *DID* spend most of the money on the roof, though. The rest of the place is kind of bare. The club level is marginally cool. I like the Jake better. LOL----I went to a Twins game a couple weeks ago. It was fun. My God though; bring your exercise shoes if you have a seat down by the field.

    To be honest I've completely ignored the Stros this season so far. It will be interesting to see what we come up against this game. I have no idea what kind of team they're fielding this year.

    This is really sad. Alot of people struggle with their weight. Aside from surgery, I don't see a whole lot of success out there. Sure, people lose weight, sometimes alot. But the studies show, nearly all of the time they wind up gaining it back sooner or later. The population as a whole is gaining. That means alot more strokes, heart attacks, etc are on the horizon. I feel totally terrible that this happened to Gregg. It sounds like he tried to change himself, and it just didn't happen for him. Prayers go out to him and his family.

    carpenter isn't going to be out so............ yeah. wasn't carpenter placed on the 15 day dl w/ a back injury? Yep, but he'll be returning shortly. CubfaninCA has been conditioned to think that all pitchers that go on the DL miss at least a month and a half, so I can hardly blame him. When you're a Cub fan even the slightest twinge means season over, so yeah I can totally understand. Cards players do that thing called "recovering." You know, where their injuries heal and they return to the lineup? Very strange idea, I know....

    Lineup when Lee returns: 1) Womack 2) Walker 3) Lee 4) Lee 5) Lee 6) Ramirez 7) Barrett 8. Jones oh yea, P - Lee
  11. Soul
    This organization has also shown a willingness to employ the highest paid player in the game (Sandberg) and one of the top 3 (Sosa). They've also given longterm deals to Ramirez (guaranteed 4 years, could guarantee a 5th with an easy to achieve games played incentive), and Lee (guaranteed 5 years). ARod's deal runs through 2010 (same as Lee), and much of it is being paid by Texas. It is quite possible that the Yankees could pick up a further portion of the deal if New York does decide to trade Rodriguez. They wouldn't be taking on a 10 year $252 million deal, they'd be taking on a 4.5 year deal that would conceivably be split by 3 different teams (Texas, Yankees, Cubs). Yes, but who would we give to get such a player? The cuboard is bare, my friend. The lunchbox is empty. The well.......she's gone dry. ARod wouldn't make sense if you're giving up Lee. That's just trading one star for another. It doesn't really get you anywhere. Prior & Wood? Not anymore----maybe 2 years ago. Zambrano? Maybe, but he's the only solid starter left!!!
  12. Soul
    No more Maddux. Wood's probably gone after September. Prior's health is becoming more & more of a concern. Wow. This starting rotation has gone from incredible to incredibly bad so quick. It's amazing. '07 could see the arrival of one of the worst Cub rotations we've ever seen. What if Zambrano hits the DL? Marshall Guzman Rusch Hill Ryu :shock: :shock:
  13. Soul
    And that's just the past month!!!

    What's really too bad is that our coaching staff sucks so badly they couldn't pull any performance out of CPatt, who had plenty of natural talent. This caused the Cubs to give up on him, and then ship the farm to Florida for a piece of junk named Pierre.
  15. Soul
    Can't take no more Pierre. Must cut him. Must be rid of him.
  16. Soul
    Control shaky. Fastball very good. In short. Young, inexperienced live arm.
  17. Soul
    That's 96 MPH heat. But control looks a little.....eh shaky.
  18. Soul
    This should be fun.
  19. Soul
    No more magic St. Louis pixie dust. The clock has struck midnight, and the once serviceable player known as Mabry has turned back into the ugly duckling that he would have been if he never donned Cardinals red.
  20. Soul
    Murton might wanna watch some film after this one. The Cards have apparently found something. Others will continue doing it, whatever it is. Adjustment time, Murty.
  21. Soul
    Portraits are ridiculous Interesting that a lot of the locals don't really like the new park. The main complaints are that the ticket prices have skyrocketed; foul poles too wide blocking views, not enough bathrooms, too many seats in the sun and an open stadium that dissipates the sound. They swapped out the foul poles for skinnier ones. Poor Cards fans. not.
  22. Soul
    Pierre completely misjudged that. It was an easy pop fly. So let's see: Strike One: Pierre can't hit for crap. Strike Two: He can't field simple pop flies. Strike Three: He has a noodle arm---probably the worst in the majors for centerfielders in the past 20 years. Yer out. Get him out of here. Pie will not be hurt at all by being brought up now. Bring him up, say bye to Pierre. That's the plan, mateys.
  23. Soul
    Or Iowa. I was trying to be nice, but yeah I wouldn't mind seeing him go buh-bye.
  24. Soul
    Pierre needs to be demoted to 8th. ASAP.
  25. Soul
    I'll repeat: I don't like to see injuries, but it's about time the Cards had to face real adversity. We've had to play without all 3 of our best players. Let's see how they like it for a change. I've heard alot of nasty comments from Cardinals fans over the past 2 months (not on nsbb). Let's see if they can keep up the peacock crap without Albert to save them.
