    Well, this one's over. Sorry guys, but there's no use hoping for a rally when the team obviously is more interested in tending to their dinner plans.

    Because their offense actually gets big hits? like a larry walker three run homer Yep yep. And off a proven veteran like Oswalt too. Meanwhile, we look sick against a rookie----irregardless of his worth as a prospect, still a rookie.

    Preposterous! Ridiculous!

    Wow, Kasper is just out in left field today. Lee & ARam can't touch this guy, yet he says "there's still a good chance to score here" with Maddux up and two outs? Huh? :shock: Now he says you just feel that the Cubs will come back in this one. Not sure about the rest of you, but this offense looks dead today. I feel absolutely nothing from our O right now.
  6. Soul
    So that means he should come up and destroy all stars like Lee & ARam from the get-go? Huh?

    In the words of the immortal Vince Lombardi, "What the hell is going on out here?!?" I turn on the TV to see the Cubs getting PUNKT by some rookie? What is this crap?

    :-s You're kidding, right? Sandberg has about as much chance of getting a call from Morgan as Oprah has of winning the Miss America pageant.

    Somebody's got to stop the Stros. May as well be the Cards. I had no trouble rooting for Jimmy Ed & Pujols tonite 8)

    Of course, I'll be the first to say this will never happen, but it is an intriguing idea. Cuban wants his teams to win and he isn't afraid to spend money or shake things up. On the other hand, for those that value tradition, Cuban may not be your guy. He's innovative and is willing to try about anything. Carol Sleeeezak is one of the reporters that named Bartman. I don't trust one single work from her. I have no respeck at all for her or what she does. Agreed. With all due respect to Carol, she hasn't garnered enough respect in this city for her speculations to hold any water.

    Well, in the Cubs' defense, there was no way they could know that Raffy would start pumping steroids with Jose Canseco in Texas, while Gracie stayed clean as a whistle.

    See? Shoulda plunked him...

    Time to stir things up. Chin music time, cmon. Hit somebody. THIS GAME COUNTS, DAMMIT!!
  14. Soul
    Cmon D, pop one outta here.

    Nothing would prevent that. My issue is how it cheapens the game. This is an exhibition. How can a game that doesn't count in the standings be used to affect the outcome of the most important 7 games of the year?! Completely ridiculous. Let's start a new system next year: here ya go-----all preseason records will be compiled, and those with the best preseason records in each division will be given an extra game at home in divisional series!! Let's make those spring training games count, baby!! This year they COUNT!! Whoohoo! God, it's just so completely stupid.

    Yah, for whatever reason the AL just has had much better offenses the past few years, their pitching has been good enough and the NL pitching has been somewhat sucky - all together it means AL wins and NL losses And wasn't there that rumor last year that the reason Clemens gave up 6 first inning runs was that Piazza was tipping off the AL hitters? Wood should either be A) Traded, or B) moved to the bullpen after a few good starts. :lol: sorry couldn't help it man 8) Don't make me hunt you down. Seriously, all I'd have to do is jump on I-94 and come and find you. :P :D

    Dunno. He played for some team that starts with a "C". I think it's a city on a lake.....or something like that. I'm probably way off ;)

    Yah, for whatever reason the AL just has had much better offenses the past few years, their pitching has been good enough and the NL pitching has been somewhat sucky - all together it means AL wins and NL losses And with Bud's brilliant new "system", that means no NL team has a prayer in hell of ever having home field advantage in the World Series. That's a complete joke!

    I think the question needs to be asked: Is the American league really this much better than the National league? Because it seems our boys don't have a chance to beat the AL right from the get-go. The NL looks *terrible*, year in & year out.

    Blame Game

    Soul replied to halplm's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    The good ones can do it on accident. He can't do it if he tries. The point is he doesn't have the physical strenght or the discipline to hit a ball hard on the outside corner and drive it deep. I dont know how you can say he doesnt have the strength for it. He's the strongest guy on the team, upper body strength wise, he just doesnt have the swing or discipline to go the other way. I agree Corey's main problem is discipline---and I would add to that his bat speed needs to improve, or at least the length of his swing (it's just too long & loopy). But there's no way in hell Corey possesses more upper body strength than Derek Lee & ARam. Corey's a pretty strong kid for his size, but he's not in Lee or Ramirez's class strength-wise.

    You jinxed ARam Nice JOB!!!! j/k
  23. Soul
    I think that's the key. After a quick tabulation of Fred's table, I come up with 21-14. It's a little better than I thought, but not much.
  24. Soul
    Nice work. I'd feel better about it if I had confidence the Cubs will play well against weaker teams. What is the Cubs record against sub .500 teams this year? It seems we don't dominate the weak sisters like we should. That might not be true statistically though. It just seems that way to me.
  25. Soul
    yep
