    Woody getting ahead of hitters. Keep it up plz.
  2. Soul
    Both runs with 2 out... Stop acting like a winning team, it makes Dusty nervous.
  3. Soul
    Cool. Maybe I should employ reverse psychology every time to improve RISP BA :)
  4. Soul
    Time to strand another runner...

    Womack should hit leadoff now. Not because he's good, but because he obviously isn't as complete a trainwreck as Pierre.
  6. Soul
    That's right Juan. Continue to suck instead of doing something to pull out of it.
  7. Soul
    Good deal. Once we've solved the 5th starter problem, we can move on to spots 2,3, and 4.
  8. Soul
    I'll need a goodly number of those things in your avatar to do that 8)

    6-24 in our last 30!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: AHHHHH!!! Can't take it anymore!!

    Got to get on base before speed can make a difference. .268 obp, that's all you need to know. And I'm sick of leadoff hitters who don't know how to take a walk. Ridiculous.

    Barroid's a cheat. Simple as that. Is he a great player without the roids? Of course. But he would not be where he is home run wise without them. So let the asterisks reign. ****

    3 year deal how did a slim free agency market force his hand for 3 years? Because there wasn't much else to choose from at the time, and Jones' agent knew that. 3 years, Mr. Hendry, or suffer with whatever slop you have in the minors @ RF. Not that I'm excusing Hendry. Especially when it comes to RF. He knew when he took the job that Sosa wasn't long for this league. Yet he did nothing. He's done nothing but stop-gap crap in RF since Sosa left. Players have been available for teams who possess enough desire to win to go out and get 'em. But not Hendry, not the Cubs. Now we're in a bottomless hole. And there's no way out.

    He did about as much as could be done without having Andy walk out on him or putting his job in jeopardy. I understand what you're saying and agree, but the Trib *will* fire people for saying the wrong things and everyone knows it. It's a little much to ask Kap to put his family's livelihood in jeopardy over an interview. ....and they did rip the Cubs for about an hour afterwards. I'm sure that was with permission from the Trib, of course. I'm pretty sure the Trib has been censoring their people for years now. It's just that, since 2003, folks have actually started to care about this ballclub so they're demanding more tough answers.

    No worries, Womack is on the way. Cubs do need more speed. Yes, it takes us entirely too long to get back to the dugout after swinging at Ball 4 over & over.

    You can start reading around page 3 of this thread for blow-by-blow descriptions & reactions. Cliff notes: blah blah blah, BA with RISP, blah blah, need to go back to April, blah blah, Hendry not thinking about Baker, blah blah, 2005 Stros, blah blah talk to Dusty about Wrigley's grass length, blah blah.

    ?? murton, cedeno, hill, guzman, marshall and williams have gotten a chance to play. How about Pie? :roll: no reason to call him up and have patterson part II. he doesn't need to be infected by this sick bunch anyways. keep him in iowa. Can we outsource his development to another team's minor league system? That would be much better. Iowa's record of producing position talent isn't exactly awe-inspiring.
  17. Soul
    Best case scenario is, I wake up to discover it's still 2003, I fell asleep during game 6 and had this nightmare, and I regain consciousness just in time to see AGONE field the DP ball perfectly to bail Prior out of trouble.

    If opposing pitchers had simply not thrown Dubois any fastballs, he would've never made it out of A ball. That's probably got a lot to do with it. Yeah, but now I wonder if players like Doobs would have turned out alright if a different team taught him. The evidence is pretty overwhelming that the Cubs aren't getting anything from their talent, and other teams are.
  19. Soul
    he can't handle personal situations well at all, but I'd take him over Hendry in a heartbeat. He knows how to setup a good team, something Hendry has failed to do. Agreed. Want someone who follows protocol and loses, or someone who breaks protocol and wins? If I have to make the choice? The latter, definitely.
  20. Soul
    Pretty good point. However, if they keep pushing more & more games to off-color local jobbies like CLTV and CSN+, you might start seeing cable carriers go "we already have a WB channel, cya."
  21. Soul
    LOL, this is hilarious. Watch it guys, the Trib might be sending pink slips as we speak.
  22. Soul
    Cards payroll is 78 million?!? Wow. This I did not know. Someone explain to MacPhail the difference between passion and desire to win, and spending empty cash so you can claim you care.
  23. Soul
    So you knew it back then just by looking at the numbers and applying a little logic. You know more about baseball than MacPhail. Either that, or he knows but just won't say what he's really thinking.

    comcast sports net ++ , i think i saw that last year WCIU, ect BS I see WGN and WCIU listed as carrying games, and CSN, and then there's CSN+ in addition, usually when there's another game on. So that's just CLTV? I'm guessing the only reason they refer to it as CSN+ is because they may go to the game on CSN if their other programming is delayed (namely the White Sox are in a rain delay). That and that it's CSN's production and camera equipment. There's a CSN alternate channel on DirecTV. It's channel 668, and I have watched the Cubs on this channel when there is a White Sox game on at the same time.
  25. Soul
    You said it man. At one point MacPhail said "Firing Dusty is the furthest thing from Hendry's mind." That's a paraphrase, but it's what he said. Christ Almighty. If your GM isn't even thinking about the possibility he has the wrong manager right now, then there's absolutely no doubt you've got the WRONG GM!
