    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.

    Wow.

    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.
  16. soccer10k
    So do you want to call him "Tall Smooth" then? Yes. Fair enough. I just wanted to clairfy.
  17. soccer10k
    I would open them up.

    As UMFan said, this does seem like more of an organizational problem than a problem with the philosophy of the hitting coach.
  19. 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.
  21. soccer10k
    Nobody got hurt? I guess.

    Maybe they are being truthfull and will actually tell their producers that Cubs fans are getting fed up with their crap, but I doubt it. They didn't even address your concerns/questions. They saw "Joe Morgan sucks" and feebly attempted to ease your pain. Weasels. If you wouldn't have put "Joe Morgan sucks" at the end of the email you probably wouldn't have even got any response at all.

    I highly doubt they will stop showing it. I understand why they would show it when we play the Marlins. But there is no reason to show it or talk about when we play any other team. Morgan and Miller spent five minutes talking about it during the Cubs-Cardinals game on ESPN on the first sunday of the year.

    Ozzy.

    Does anyone else think that if a pitcher makes an error that allows a runner on that he should be charged an earned run for that? I understand what an unearned run is, but if a pitcher makes an error it's his fault and you're letting him of the hook. For example, in today's Cubs-Pirates game, Novoa could have got out of the inning but couldn't pick up the ball and four runs ended up scoring that inning. All four were unearned and two were charged to Guzman and two to Novoa. All he had to do was pick up the ball and throw it to first base but he screwed it up. I think his ERA should show that because it was on him to make the play and he didn't have to rely on anybody else to make the play. Thoughts?
