Bringing in Borowski with the bases loaded today after Rich Hill's walk. DUSTY.. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?????? :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: I'm sorry... at times (more often than not, actually) the man is a complete imbecile.
-
He said he'd be ready to go for "the game on Tuesday." I guess somebody should tell him that they're playing Wednesday.. :lol:
-
So do I... :D :D :D :D 8) \:D/ \:D/ \:D/
-
It's a big game... would you expect anything less?? :D
-
Sweet, have fun!
-
They started winning in mid-December... after about a 4-15 start is more or less when the light switched on. They only got better as the season went on, and have the 3rd or 4th most wins in the NBA since New Year's.
-
It's playoff time, baby!!! Bust out the black shoes and socks! Thank God we have the Bulls to take our minds off the Cubs right now (sound familiar?)... at least, those of us who are fans of both teams. What a weekend.. Draft and the Bulls first playoff game in 7 years. :D :D
-
Now the SCORE is reporting that Dusty has changed the lineup so Hairston is now leading off and playing 2B. Not to fear Perez lovers, he's spelling for Ramirez today because of the "weather". Ugh... I'm all for protecting ARam... but with Blanco and Perez in the lineup, we're in for a longgg day today.
-
Apparently, Perez is starting at 2B again today. He must really want to keep Hairston fresh.
-
I doubt it. It seems like the average fans that go to the ballpark think Dusty is just the greatest. :roll: Sadly, I think that those of us who point out how clueless he really is are just a vocal minority.
-
Thanks for the more detailed update! That's about the best news we could've hoped for. :)
-
Not only is it absolutely ridiculous that Perez is starting over Hairston in itself; it's even more absurd that Perez is hitting #2. Dusty is an ABSOLUTE moron. He did the same crap last year when Ordonez would play.. He'd bat him #2. Hell, we had Lenny Harris hit leadoff a couple times. Great idea... get your worst hitters the most at bats possible.
-
:x :evil: That really sucks!! What quotes from the Cubs? BTW, over at that OTHER board, the Brewers trolls think it was a perfectly clean slide... riiggght
-
how is that a plus? Are you kidding me?? I don't think he is... I dunno. I don't really care about the White Sox... but I take pride in the fact that we're not bitter about the rivalry like they are. They're Chicago's red-headed step-child. They hate us. I don't really see myself or most Cubs fans hating the Sox or even caring about them though. For me, the rivalry is like, "Meh." If they win, good for them. Just as long as we win when we play them.
-
The Miller sign is the old Torco sign. Beat me to it. I actually prefer this over the old Torco sign. It's pretty cool, since they have something new seemingly for every series.
-
Dusty could be the Cubs' new mascot, since he's such a great motivator. Even better!
-
Could we possibly keep Dusty as some sort of figurehead like the Queen of England to appease all the Dusty-butt-kissers? Then we can just hire a "head coach" to call the shots. Sound good?
-
While I have no doubt that the Bulls will make the playoffs (none, whatsoever)... these kind of calculations sound eerily familiar (see: Cubs, September 2004).... :shock: Let's not bring back those memories. :)
-
:shock: No mention of the best offense in the league last year? I think that was a bigger strength for the Cardinals than any of those. I'd say Grudz is at best slight upgrade over Womack, at worst a wash. From 2002-2004, Womack posted .274/.318/.354 (.672 OPS)... Over that same span, Grudzielanek went .294/.335/.397 (.732 OPS). Granted, Womack had a career year that wasn't fully in line with those numbers, but I think it's reasonable to expect that Grudz could be around the .307/.349/.385 (.735) that Womack put up last year. While Renteria has been a much better player than Eckstein over his career, I don't think it's that much of a stretch for him to at least come close to Renteria's .287/.327/.401 of last year (which was, admittedly, somewhat of a down year for E-Rent), good enough in the league's best offense. He should top the OBP by a little, but won't likely match the .401 SLG... I, unfortunately, don't think we can write off the Cardinals offense at all this year. There are, however, injury concerns throughout that lineup. And there are questions about their starting pitching too. Hopefully, things work out for the Cubs, the pitchers stay (or get) healthy, and we can battle those guys for the top spot in the division.

Looks like Wood is scheduled to resume throwing on Monday. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050311&content_id=964527&vkey=spt2005news&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

AHHH Bulls are about to lose.. WHY DOES KIRK HINRICH TAKE THESE SHOTS? HE IS SO BAD IN THE CLUTCH!!!! Let Gordon shoot it!!!
-
OH NOOOO.. why would you give that shot to Antonio Davis??!! Bulls down 96-94.. Spurs ball with under 24 to go... Davis misses a wide open jumper... then Duncan hits an 18 footer.... Hinrich forces up a shot and misses, and then Duhon steps out of bounds with the rebound.. :x :evil:
-
Bulls ball, tied at 94 with 1:01 to go...

We don't have to wait till next year. Playoffs! (er, and maybe dugout and bullpen seats, as well)
