What were the "Your with me, Leather" rumors? And now it reads "incoherently managed by Dusty Baker" Haha. Let's see how long this stays up.

Oh but there is.

Z is going to have to provide the pitching and the offense to win this game.

Thursday schedule: Ecuador v Costa Rica at 6:00 on ESPN 2 England v Trinidad and Tobago at 9:00 on ESPN 2 Sweden v Paraguay at 12:00 on ESPN All times are Pacific Time.

And we still lost two of the three games. Yeah, yeah, yeah...... but how's this for correlation ?? Team record by number of walks allowed CUBS are 1-2 when they allow 0 walks CUBS are 3-1 when they allow 1 walks CUBS are 8-3 when they allow 2 walks CUBS are 2-3 when they allow 3 walks CUBS are 6-8 when they allow 4 walks CUBS are 3-5 when they allow 5 walks CUBS are 1-6 when they allow 6 walks CUBS are 1-5 when they allow 7 walks CUBS are 0-1 when they allow 8 walks CUBS are 0-2 when they allow 9 walks CUBS are 1-1 when they allow 10 walks CUBS are 0-1 when they allow 11 walks Small sample size, I know. I was just making an observation.

But Neifi will start. Of course he will Dusty is free to do whatever he wants. He ruined our team. Ruined it. He took our hero and drove him out of town(Sosa), yet he keeps garbage like Perez around. He pitched Wood and Prior so hard they are shells of what they should be. He sits productive big leaguers like Todd Walker. He cost us the playoffs two years ago by insisting on letting Hawkins blow game after game down the stretch when everone, LaTroy included was calling for someone else to close. He cost us going to the World Series by allowing Mike Lowell to hit instead of Lenny Harris. You know the same Lenny Harris who hit .183 for us including several games at leadoff. I am done with the Cubs until he is fired. He has ruined my passion for baseball. I'm not a Dusty sympathizer - and do think he should be fired - but I don't think that Dusty is completely responsible for this year. Of course injuries are an issue, but is it Dusty's fault that the team wasn't adequately prepared for Prior and Wood to go down? No, that's Hendry's fault. Is it Dusty's fault that it took the team over a month to make a move following the Lee injury? No. Sure Dusty doesn't always make the best on the field moves but management is just as much to blame, if not more, than Dusty is. Dusty also didn't force Sammy out of town. That was ownership and Sammy himself. Sammy needed to realize that he was no longer the star he used to be and he needed to change his philosophies. It was Sammy who refused to move closer to the plate when anybody with an eye could tell that Sammy couldn't touch the outside pitch. Was it Dusty's fault that Sammy corked his bat? Didn't think so. But Sammy isn't solely to blame with this issue either. It was ownerships fault for exposing everything that happened in regards to Sosa walking out. They should have solved everything in house. But that isn't Dusty's fault. Dusty should and will take a lot of blame for this year, but not everything is his fault.

I'm just glad that I slept through most of the game so I didn't have to watch most of it.

Cubs lose, time to watch some hockey.

Mabry pinch hitting. EDIT: Post 3000 also.

Murton, Cedeno, PH coming up in the ninth.

Ugh. Jones strikes out.

Good call badger.

Edmonton and Carolina are now tied 2-2 with 6:30 to go in the first period.

Where's the fun when you can grabbed the early lead? :roll: I am going to steal a quote made by former Raiders coach Bill Callahan, "The Cubs are the DUMBEST team in baseball." The Royals don't care....the Marlins are too young....the Pirates are too cheap....the Cubs are just too DUMB... Oh please, don't start quoting Bill Callahan. I'm a Raiders fan. Doesn't make the statement less true, does it? :lol: It's just as true, I just hate Bill Callahan.

Nice play Maddux.

Come on Jacque. Sac fly for Jacque.

Edmonton leads 1-0.

Nothing like falling behind early.

Haha. I think I'm going to continue to check this every few minutes.

What about Luis Gonzalez as a "no surprise"? That's a good one. Didn't think about him but he would qualify as a "no surprise".

I'm pretty sure Prior has a computer already.
