    As long as Sammy realizes that he isn't the star anymore, isn't the focal point of the offense, and is content platooning with Jones, I wouldn't have a problem bringing him in. But if he expects to start everyday because he's Sammy Sosa the future HOFer then he can just stay home.

    Relax, the point wasn't to insult, just to do something a little different. The point remains that it's impossible to find someone that's unquestionably clean. Maybe "unqeustionable clean" maybe TOO HIGH of a standard in today's baseball, but I still wouldn't take Giambi, who not only used steroids, but LIED about taking steroids. No thank you. A cheat is one thing, but a cheat and a LIAR, no way. Call it the Sammyitis. He didn't lie about taking steroids, did he? He came clean to the grand jury, but I don't remember any accusations that he denied before that. If you're talking about his nondenial denial at the beginning of last season, he was just doing all that was asked of him legally. That testimony was considered sealed and he didn't have to comment on it. But that is considered lying. He didn't tell the truth when the questions were asked.

    That makes complete sense. How are you supposed to get better at hitting lefties when you don't see them that often? Please hire a lefty BP pitcher Jim Hendry.

    I like that comparison. At least they didn't say Barry Zito.

    Bump me up to 50 per day.

    Excellent stats Pedro. Keep it up. Not a problem. Here's another: The Cubs are 1-0 on every day where they scored more runs than they allowed the other team to score. The Cubs are undefeated on days that a game isn't scheduled.

    If he passes Ruth on the road he WILL get booed. There is no doubt about it. The only place he'll hear cheers is in San Francisco. Nobody else wants him to pass Ruth. I don't think whoever gives up the homeruns should bean Barry just because it's Barry. The Cubs pitchers didn't bean McGwire after he hit #62 against us in 1998. Even though I HATE Bonds and wish injury upon him every day, I think it would be classless to bean him.

    Excellent stats Pedro. Keep it up. BTW, post 1500. Not important enough to go in the milestones thread, but important enough to be mentioned.

    And that ends that discussion. It's an excellent point. The thought just popped into my head after Novoa made the error.

    As long as they don't test for HGH we don't know who is clean and who isn't.
  11. soccer10k
    Wow.
  12. soccer10k
    I hope you're right.

    I am. Italy's younger stars have looked very good of late (plus Totti looks like he'll be 100%), and the Czechs have Nedved. Sorry, allow me to rephrase that. I'm not worried about us playing WELL against Italy and Czech Republic. Whether we win or not is another thing. I am worried about how well we play vs Ghana.

    Taking a quick look I'm surpised at Ching over Twellman.... Thats who I was missing. I was trying to figure out how the hell Ching made the team. I think the success of this team comes down to Onyewu, Dempsey, and Johnson. We have to finish first in our group. If we don't we're looking at a second round elimination at best because we'll surely have to play Brazil in the second round. The other key is not having a letdown against Ghana like we did against Poland in 2002. I'm not worried about us playing Italy and Czech Republic.

    If you auction the UNOPENED boxes you should do far better. People will spend far more for unopened boxes that may have the card. Go to a llocal card show and see what you can get. I wouldn't open them, let someone else pay you to take the chance for the card. You'll make far more than 80-100 bucks. But do it soon, while the publicity on the card is hot. Yeah, whatever you decide to do I would do it quick because like oldcubsfan said, do it while there is a lot of publicity. I would use oldcubsfan's strategy for one box. If you can make a lot of money selling the packs then do that, but if there isn't much demand then just open them yourself.

    Who "looks as though they aren't trying?" And don't mix up being a bad hitter for not trying.

    Just for an update, Hill is officially starting on Thursday.

    Ug...

    Don't watch -- you'll be better off in the end. What he said. I stopped watching at the all star break last season. My last game to watch this season? Well I'll watch Maddux pitch one more time, and then....we'll see. Look at it this way Is_pedro, if you watch Cubs games earlier in the day you would still lose sleep and probably have nightmares anyway, wouldn't you? Find something else to do. Take up knitting for example. Then at least you would have a scarf for next winter. :lol: I could try to say that I'm not going to watch them, but the truth is that I'm going to continue to watch them no matter what I say.

    Yeah, we sucked today. And for the past week.

    So do you want to call him "Tall Smooth" then? Yes. Fair enough. I just wanted to clairfy.
  21. soccer10k
    I would open them up.
  22. soccer10k
    As UMFan said, this does seem like more of an organizational problem than a problem with the philosophy of the hitting coach.
  23. soccer10k
    I can't argue with those awards. No surprises there.

    I can't stand the Jimmy Fallon Pepsi commercial. I might be a bit biased because I don't think I've seen Jimmy Fallon do anything remotely funny ever.

    Nobody got hurt? I guess.
