  1. I know somebody has said this already but I'm pretty sure it was in another thread. I have to commend Pierre for not making any excuses and for not blaming anybody or anything but himself.
  2. I'm sure there are stereotypes out there for every type of fanbase. I live in Northern California so here are a couple local stereotypes. Note: these are NOT stereotypes that I have come up with. SF 49ers fans are all fat white men. Oakland Raiders fans are all either Hispanic or Black that have served time in prison. As people have proved in this thread, there are all kinds of stereotypes out there for the fans of sports teams. It doesn't make them right.
  3. I need some grass. I need something harder. And what are the odds that the Cubs will reach 70 wins in 2006? -2
  4. I used to pitch. And I'm tall. That's gotta mean something.
  5. Huh? Why does anyone want to hear about a player sucking? Why should that be publicized? A player reviving his career, OTH, is actually news. i was just saying i don't buy the change of scenery argument. You ever feel like you got a fresh start...got a second chance? Maybe thats how he feels. He doesn't need to worry about the pressure as much anymore. Heck, its not like he didn't have the tools. It was always a mental thing with Cpatt. He also doesn't have to worry about getting booed every time he does something wrong.
  6. <- crosses fingers and hopes for a double play.
  7. Close play at first. I would think they would walk Cabrera here.
  8. I wouldn't mind Womack being called up if he took the spot of either Neifi or Bynum.
  9. He's used every good reliever with the exception of Dempster.
  10. I agree completely. The problem with past Cubs teams wasn't that they hit too many home runs. It was that they hit too many solo home runs when other teams were hitting more two and three run home runs.
  11. Eyre will be the fifth pitcher of the night.
  12. Wow. I have never seen somebody tag and go to second on an average fly ball to right center. That's pathetic.
  13. We have to be able to beat a Venezuela team that finished tied for eighth out of ten in CONMEBOL as well as a Latvia team that finished fifth out of seven in UEFA.
  14. I can't stand JP Dellacamera. The guy is an idiot. If we would have won that game 1-0 then it would have been a 6. I would give us a 4 at best, probably a 3 or 2. The team didn't seem to be on the same page and ended up getting burned at the end of the game. If we play like that in Germany, the Czech Republic and Italy are going to smash us.
  15. I agree. When Morocco is sitting back to defend, it shouldn't be too hard to bring the ball up the field. The aerial balls were unnecessary. It's okay to play some, but relying on them is not good, especially when they aren't working for you like today.
  16. Bollocks. What's the time look like? I think that was in the 89th minute. Game is over now. US didn't look too good.
  17. Offensively, the team stunk up until the last 15 minutes. I don't know why it took them that long to finally start attacking. Defensively, the US didn't have to stop too many chances because Morocco stayed back for the whole match. I agree with the announcers assessment that they looked rusty. I hope to see a significant improvement in the next couple matches. We have to win these next two games. I don't want to see a repeat of 1998 World Cup in Germany.
  18. 1-0 Morocco. That hurts. At best an average game for the US. A bad game is probably more accurate.
  19. Shoot the ball Landon!! Another reason why he isn't a striker.
