  1. And now Dusty will bench him for a week for walking.
  2. Barrett with the RBI. Cubs will win today solely because Z is pitching.
  3. That decision is such crap. I don't understand how Zidane only gets three games for blatently attacking an opposing player. I don't care if he's retiring. You have to assume that he might come back and suspend him appropriately. Plus, they gave De Rossi 5 games, but reduced it to 4 games, for elbowing McBride. At least the ball was in the area when De Rossi did what he did. Zidane should have received at least 5 games - I would have given him 7 or 8 for this. Materazzi's 2 game suspension is also lame as well but only because Zidane only got 3 games. I don't see how you suspend one person for saying something and another person only one game more for an attack on another player. This is just another example of FIFA having their heads up their rears during this tournament.
  4. I would love it if the Cubs got Burrell. He's had one bad year (2003) but other than that he has been a good hitter for his career.
  5. yes. I want to argue that a bases empty walk is usually better than a bases empty single. Under your stipulations, it is only better if it takes more pitches. A four pitch bases empty walk is equal to a four pitch bases empty single. When was the last time a Cub has hit a 4 pitch single? I'd take the walk myself, because it guarantee's you've atleast worked the picther 4 counts. Yesterday. It was the bottom of the seventh and the bases were empty.
  6. I like Skynyrd a bit more than Queen so they get my vote. I won't be too upset if they lose though.
  7. Wasn't it Ozzie who so eloquently said "F the cubs?" "F the Cubs" means something different in Venezuela. He thought it meant "I like the Cubs"
  8. The least they could do is include Alex Gonzalez in there.
  9. I quoted the whole thing, in case you wanted the answer, but it's pretty funny that even Tigers fans are referencing this as "pulling a Dusty". Funny, and Sad for Woody and Prior. Does public image mean anything to Hendry? The fans have been unhappy for 2 years now yet nothing is done but raising prices and not listening to the media and outside influences. Aren't we already the biggest laughing stock in sports, you'd think he'd try to make a splash to show he gives a cr*p about this team. DO SOMETHING We are the biggest laughing stock. A waste of 100mil dollars is what the Cubs are. This team is pathetic, and at least some people recognize that the Cubs have idiots running this team. I disagree. Cubs are the laughingstock in BASEBALL, but to me the New Tork Knicks are the laughingstock of ALL SPORTS. They are still paying three coaches (Chaney/Wilkens/Brown not to coach the Knicks) they've traded just about every first rd and/or 2nd rd pick for a mediocre veteran, their payroll is nearing OVER 105 million. They are simply a worse run team in sports. But the Cubs are giving the Knicks a run for their money. Well unlike the Cubs, no one is pulling for them to suck majorly for good draft picks. That's because the Bulls had their best draft pick this year and I believe have their best 2007 pick as well. I wouldn't be pulling for my team to suck if I knew they wouldn't get their top draft pick (only in basketball and football).
  10. I will only criticize Marmol's walk total. Other than that he was fine.
  11. yes. I want to argue that a bases empty walk is usually better than a bases empty single. Under your stipulations, it is only better if it takes more pitches. A four pitch bases empty walk is equal to a four pitch bases empty single.
  12. I have never illegally downloaded a song in my life :^o
  13. amen. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa snap. outta beer............ Time to break out the whiskey.
  14. St. Louis' pitching seems to go in some pretty awful spurts. The Padres didn't hold the Braves down in the first three games of the stretch either. Yeah that's true, but I also remember the same Cardinals staff giving up something like 20 and 14 runs in back-to-back games against the Sox a few weeks ago. Currently 13-1........Braves winning in the bottom of the sixth.....Marquis gave up 12 runs in his outing, but I'm not sure how many were earned. All of them.

  17. Wow. Len (I believe it was him) just said that the Braves, with 10 runs tonight, have become the first team since the 1930 New York Yankees to score 10+ runs in 5 straight games. The Braves have now scored 61 runs in the last five games and today's game is only in the 5th inning.
  18. Phil Nevin!! Way to justify Dusty giving you the start today.
  19. have you ever supported a team that won anything? ohio state. but they're a distant 3rd in teams i care about. My point by asking that was its good clean fun to rub it in a little and I'd venture a guess you had a little fun with OSU winning. I am South Carolina fan, so I know all about getting dumped on (not to mention the Cub thing). South Carolina has won the past two NIT's.
