    It did not originate with Dusty - I remember dubbing the blue jersey "Lieber blue" because Jon Lieber was pretty much the only Cubs pitcher who wore it at that time. Don Baylor was the manager then. Wasn't Leiber with us under Riggleman? Hmm...you are correct, sir. Only one year, though. Most of Lieber's time with us was during the Baylor era. I couldn't honestly tell you if he was picking his own jersey color during the 99 season with Riggs, though.

    Others have said it before, and I'll say it again (and I'm sure some will be strongly opposed), but a Cubs home uni with no pinstripes would be the hotness. I like the pinstripes, though. Maybe as an alternate? Either way, the same exact jerseys in white w/no pinstripes would be freakin sweet. EDIT - Just saw that TT asked for a pic of something very similar which Wrigley provided... Still, I'm thinking something exactly like the current home whites without the pinstripes, and maybe some blue trim around the edges.

    I'm 24 and I'm indifferent when it comes to the blue jersey. If we were talkin about the awesome dark (navy) blues that they wore in ST a couple years ago, I'd be all over those.

    How many times have you brought up nonsense like that? That would be a horrible, horrible deal for the Cubs. + 1 x infinity

    Yeah, that was 2003-I remember because Prior gave up something like 3 runs there, and it was a shock just because that was like his worst outing in 10 or something like that he was running so well. Also, there was Matt Clement's no hitter that he had to be pulled from after, I believe, he walked the bases loaded.

    Didn't we lose that game in extra innings or something? EDIT - Nevermind, that was the second game of that series.

    Cincy always had the first game until they said the other day the Cubs vs Mets in Japan (I didn't think that was the first time it didn't happen, but maybe it was). Since then, they've decided to put this Sunday night game in, and just leave Cincy's game as the traditional day game rather than move it up to be the first game as usual. I don't understand. What does it mean? I heard on TV the other day that the first year that the Cincy game was not the first game of the year was the year that the Cubs played the Mets in Japan. I didn't think that was true, but apparently it was. Sorry for the confusing line there-hope that cleared it up. Yeah thanks. I still don't understand, the cubs vs. the mets in Japan!? Wow how long ago was that? :) It was in 2000-that was just 7 years ago now :D I remember getting up at 4 AM to watch that before school started.

    Off topic, but who is that in your avatar these days? Are you serious?

    Does this actually mean anything? Or are you just making something up? What? Do you think I'm a spider or something? Of course I'm making it up! It's an educated guess based on the past. LOL, smart guy. I just was wondering if you had actually heard something or if by some chance you were at ST and saw the game live. I'm hoping for, but not expecting, a little better news than that. Bruce said his stuff was appreciably better, so we'll see what that means.

    :?: :?: Thought we knew this yesterday.

    Defense failed Mark there.

    But who are we taking there thats so important? Is Angelo spying someone a la the Devin Hester pick? It almost doesn't matter. Anyone you take at #6 is a big time talent. Of course, it could always be a bust... I really haven't followed the draft stuff up until now, not quite as interested in it after a Super Bowl season. Either way, I'd draft the best player available, assuming he isn't a RB. Did anyone hear Hub Arkush's comments that the Bears are looking to use Hester in a Reggie Bush role (slot, 3rd down back, decoy) next year? I know that they've confirmed they're looking at him on O for next year, but I had never seen his role defined to that extent. Hester as a 3rd down back is definitely a new one to me. He brought it up when talking about the Bears trading Jones.

    I was hoping Prior was pitching tomorrow. Are they holding him out till Wed?
  16. David
    I'm surprised nobody is commenting on the Briggs trade rumor in here. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6613558 BS? Is there a LB out there that we could draft that could even come close to replacing Briggs?

    wow, you predicted that wood would be hurt? you're obviously very smart. Do you feel better now? What exactly did your post accomplish? It gave me a slight LOL. :roll: :roll: Gotta love the ol' condescending eye-roll.

    What's stupid is leaving this injury prone guy on this team. He's always injured. Watch, he'll come back for 2 weeks and then go back on the DL again. And where exactly does that hurt us? The loss is not having Wood for the time he's out due to injury. Getting rid of him just for the sake of getting rid of him only exacerbates that problem by not having him at all.

  20. David
    The idea of getting rid of Wood just to get rid of him is beyond stupid.
  21. David
    Maybe he'll be OK, as long as he isn't facing Big Z.
  22. David
    Nice.
  23. David
    When was the last time he was good?
  24. David
    My thoughts exactly. I see this snippet as a negative, if anything. I'm still happy with what I've seen of Lou with the Cubs up till now, though.

    How about no to all of the above +1, except for the part about Prior Murton in a deal for Ichiro? Absolutely terrible move. Wuertz is not the 12th man, he's one of our better relievers. Is Coats making the team? Have I missed something? I thought the bench looked to be Ward, Theriot, Floyd, Blanco, & Cedeno... And hopefully, the Cubs are nowhere near the MLB lead in steals, because, more than likely, they'd also be among the leaders in CS.
