    This is interesting. I know some people from Dallas and they absolutely love Cuban. I guess they haven't battled back and forth with him, though. My feelings have nothing to do with our e-mails. He does create a lot of excitement, but he doesn't get results. The Cubs don't need hype, they need production. Again.. How is it hype and not production? Is your only measure of success a championship or something? Why the hell do you play the games? They don't give out rings for regular season wins, do they? That's a valid point... but I just don't see how a great season is invalidated by 4 bad games... But that's just me. Expecting a championship is asking an awful lot, IMHO. If it happens for your team, great...But only one out of 30-some-odd teams does that each year.

    Those Mavericks sure have been a wreck since he took over, haven't they? What the hell have they won? They've made it to the Western Conference Finals ONCE, and then only because Sacramento had some serious injury problems. For all the wins they've racked up, they haven't even sniffed a title yet and won't anytime soon. Great call letting Steve Nash walk away for nothing, huh? I consider the playoffs in any sport to be a crapshoot. Sure, the Mavs could have a better playoff record, but I'd give up an eye to have the Cubs among the best teams in baseball every year. A team that wins 70% of its games is hardly unsuccessful.

    What's wrong with Cuban, and is it so bad that his bank account can't compensate for it? He fancies himself a GM, which he is not. If he were to stay 100% out of all personnel decisions, then I would be OK with it. And despite what his public image is, he doesn't really care about the average fan. I've had a few e-mail "battles" back and forth with him on the issue. At the same time, that makes it seem like he cares plenty about the average fan, if he would care enough to engage in email "battles" with fans. I'd want him in on the personel decisions. If he doesn't mind spending it, I would have no problem with him overpaying for an All Star at every position. Say what you will about George Steinbrenner, but I'd take him over our ownership any day.

    What the heck? I don't buy that part of the report. Be it Sullivan or Levine, neither one is the epitome of credibility, by any stretch.

    We tried to get him in 03. He didn't want to come here, anyway.
  9. David
    Not so sure about that. If I remember correctly, he always had it in for Z and never saw much potential in him as a starter. That alone makes me glad we changed pitching coaches. That aside, I did like him otherwise as a coach. He was a great interview too. Sad stuff.

    Their skills are not as scarce.

    How are baseball players less replaceable? Every year players retire, and every year new ones come in to take their place. By saying they are not replaceable, there would be zero talent on the fields right now as it all should have dissipated decades ago. Are you kidding here? How many active major-leaguers are there? How many people in this country are there? Maybe one in a million people will actually become a big league ballplayer. I don't know how many people could do your job, but I'll bet it's a lot more than that. The difference is due to scarcity. Exactly.

    huh? :-k Shoot....I forgot my English to English translation book. Place the word "with" between "somebody" and "the name." Mark Prior's Calves started this game thread. As for the connection... nope, didn't find it very interesting at all. :wink:

    Len can't be right about that one. What about the 95 World Series? I suppose it could be Lofton's first regular season AB against Maddux.

    .244/.289/.308 Why must you turn NSBB into a house of LIES? He was on the juice with NY and his numbers with them weren't much better.

    However, I will say that while I think the Lee trade was a bad one for the Sox, I don't think it's anywhere near being the worst of the past decade. Save that distinction for trades like the Astros trading Bobby Abreu for Kevin Stocker.

    ? Wasn't Jones moved down in the lineup last Sunday or Monday, when Barrett was moved up to #5...
  19. David
    Who was that a bad trade for? The Sox. Before anyone else says anything, I'll reply now. The mere fact that they won the World Series doesn't automatically absolve Kenny Williams of blame or criticism for making bad trades nor does it make all of his moves good ones.
  20. David
    Might not have had it yet... What is it, 5:45 in LA?
  21. David
    Wrong.

    I'm sure Mr. Aardsma is angry that you stole his mugshot I'm sure that Aramis is angry that you are stealing pictures of his pose. And I'm sure that broom doesn't appreciate you stealing his likeness. And I'm sure that Hobbes doesn't appreciate you stealing his child. Anyways...woo Aardsma! It's not Hobbes's child. It's Calvin after he used his transmogrifier.. DUH!!! Don't you know anything??

    Are you being sarcastic? No, I'm not. OBP/walks are the best measure of plate discipline. 02 - 158g, 128bb 03 - 116, 74 04 - 161, 108 05 - 160, 114 Thanks for, um, supporting my argument... :wink: I really wasn't being sarcastic in the least.

    David replied to Shilzzz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    No, Wolf is right. Two teams that are 7-4 aren't tied with a 7-5 team. Also, this probably happened since the original post was made, but Houston is 8-4. The winning percentages are also off. Let's just make this easier.. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/standings/index.jsp

    So I just caught the score of this game during the Cubs telecast. Totally forgot that this game was such an early start. Did Miami play their scrubs all game or something??
