Jacque JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOnes. I like Mike Jones too. :) Who?
-
Thats hard to believe cubs pitchers have given up a lot of flyballs? Rusch has Unfortunately we don't have fielding stats for the fans that sit in the outfield stands.
-
I want to see Jacque make an error just to see if you can actually do it.
-
Last year Jacque went .201/.247/.370/.617 against lefties and .268/.348/.466/.814 against righties. Sosa went .288/.370/.471/.841 against lefties and .196/.266/.341/.607 against righties.
-
Jacque is currently 1-18 against left handed pitching this year. I'm sure even Sammy could do better than that.
-
Mabry is the scariest #5 hitter of all time.
-
Platoon anyone?
-
I don't know why those idiot Giant fans are booing. What do they expect, for every pitch to be a strike? Think you morons.
-
Z looks like he is trying to throw it as hard as he can and just blow it by Barry.
-
Fastball, meet Barry's back.
-
And in typical Cubs fashion, we walk the leadoff hitter.
-
Yeah, this pisses me off when we do this. And what pisses me off more, is when people don't realize how bad of a play this is. Joe Morgan actually said, "and he was sac'd into position to SET UP THE HOME RUN." That doesn't even make sense. Come on Walk, drive him in. thank god i dont have to listen to Morgan tonight I don't either. I get Krukow and Kuiper. Hopefully Krukow is drunk tonight. That will be entertaining.
-
his standard 4-3 would have done the same thing. You beat me to that joke.
-
The 2004 Expos don't have s*** on us. Much as I'm frustrated with this team too, watch the profanity. I know. I've seen other people do the same thing and I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
-
I'm going to have to defend Jenkins on this one. I don't think this is one of his better columns, but he is a good writer. I generally enjoy reading his material. Obviously you aren't going to like everything one person puts out, but most of his writing is good.
-
Uh, 3 runs is expecting a lot from the offense. Bonds will misplay a ball terribly in left leading to 2 of the 3 :wink: Bonds will be running after a ball, will slip and tear his knee to shreads.

A new manager can't make our guys hit. The offense is flat out pathetic. They aren't catching bad breaks, they just suck.
-
18. He's currently on pace for 85 HR's and 204 RBI's and a .330 BA. How pathetic. You would think the guy would at least hit .350. :roll:
-
This is the reason I hate Steinbrenner. I don't mind that he spends $200mil on payroll because it's allowed. He's playing within the rules. But he is the only owner in the leage who would rip his team after one bad loss. It's one thing what Leyland did with the Tigers after they went on their losing streak. But what Steinbrenner is doing is just stupid. He needs to learn that sometimes he just needs to keep his big mouth shut.

How do you explain the 80's, and early 90's? I don't see the point in using such absolutes. It's not remotely true. and really, how difficult is it to make the NBA playoffs? I wouldn't exactly call that a great accomplishment. Have the Mavs made it to the conference finals even? Cuban has done a lot to revive that franchise but making the playoffs in the NBA is quite different than doing it in MLB. That's an excellent point. They made it to the conference finals in the 2002-2003 season. But that's it. Every other year they lost earlier. If you took the top 8 in the NL, the Cubs would have made the playoffs in 2001 and 2004. That would mean 3 playoff appearances in 5 years and who knows what would have happened in the playoffs. The Dallas Mavericks have been slightly better than the Minnesota Timberwolves have been in the regard that the Mavs make it to the second round before losing and the T-Wolves lose in the first round.
-
I'll second that. An owner who gets involved with the team and cares about winning. Why does everybody think the Tribune Company doesn't care about winning? I'm sure they don't care as much as the fans but I bet winning does matter to them. As for Cuban, why would he necessarily be a great owner? The last time I checked he has just raised the Mavericks pay roll and hasn't won an NBA title. Granted it's only been a few years, but what does he have to show for it? Everyone here wants a title and Cuban hasn't done that yet. I'm not saying he isn't a good owner, but under the criteria we are looking at (Championships), Cuban isn't fairing any better than the Tribune. Why do we need such a high payroll? Like somebody else said, signing the right players is the most important thing. I don't think you can call the Tribune reign a failure for going 25 years without a World Series when the Cubs as a whole have gone 97 years without a World Series. Suddenly 25 doesn't seem that long.

Dear Chicago Cubs, I really don't care if you lose this game but please just score some runs. Lose 11-10 for all I care, just hit the ball. Show that you can hit better than a Rookie Ball team. Let's just end this offensive futility. We can work on that winning thing another day. Thank you. Sincerely, soccer10k
-
Wow. That answers my question as to if any other team has ever been as anemic offensively as the Cubs have during this current stretch.
-
I think just about anybody can hit lefty pitching better than Jacque has this year.
