  1. 80 walks for Billingsley this season in about 200 innings ZERO walks from our position players tonight. Zero.
  2. Guys, stop talking about big trades. If we get good players, it will have to be through free agency. We have absolutely nothing to offer for guys like Peavy. Nothing.
  3. Wood stayed healthy all year??? What about that month-long stint on the DL? For Wood, that is staying healthy all year.
  4. The 4 game sweep at Milwaukee- meaningless The Aramis grand slam against Philly- meanngless The comeback against Colorado- meaningless The sweep on the White Sox at Wrigley- meaningless Wood staying healhy all season- meaningless Dempster's career year- meaningless Catching lightning ina bottle with Edmonds- meaningless All that stuff, which seemed so significant, means nothing. Just like that, it's all meaningless. Never happened.
  5. Nothing will change. They'll make a few moves, make the playoffs, and then choke again. Seriously, after this season I'm convinced there is no way they'll win in my lifetime. 97 wins, a stacked team, and the playoffs start and it's just nothing. They'll never have a better chance than they had this year, and they haven't even come close to winning a single game. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN
  6. Only 79 pitches through 6 for Billignsley. Only ONE walk (from the pitcher, who hasn't walked all season) off a guy who walked 80 in the regular season.
  7. STOP. Those pitures aren't even funny. If you want to be the obnoxious guy at least put them in spoilers
  8. I'd be happy if the cast-offs were limited to DeRo, Dempster, Theriot, and D-Lee. They had the tightest sphincters this series, so they simply have to go. Give Fuku another year. Embrace Soriano's eccentricity and encourage players to emulate him. Sign four guys that, in a psychological sense, most fit the Manny/Johnny Damon/Idiot psychological profile to replace DeRo, Demp, Ther, and D. Just not Manny himself. Too distracting. Bring in Bellhorn as a bench guy (or coach?). DeRo, really? You do realize he's driven in our only runs of this series, right? Keep him as a super utility guy if you must. This was a career year. I would expect something Gary Gaetti-like from him next year. And that DP boot must have made Alex Gonzalez blush. DeRosa shouldn't even have been on the field, because it's clear his calf isn't 100%. Wait, how do you know that? Because he had an error on a ball where he didn't even have to move? Because he has a 1.167 OPS this series?
  9. GO BACK TO JAPAN Where are all those jokers who said Fukudome would have a huge postseason? Yeah, good call
  10. I love how we're down 0-2 and haven't used our fully rested and best starter.
  11. the bad thing is, center field is really the only position Hendry will try to upgrade. you know they're going to giving the stupid asian another chance since they signed him to a ridiculous contract. Honestly, at the time, everyone loved it. Don't forget that. People who pay attention to Japanese hitters didn't yeah, okay... Excellent rebuttal. I don't understand why people are surprised that Fukudome is terrible.

  14. Not even close You're delusional. No offense to you personally. The fact that the players choke every season has nothing to do with the organization. They put a great team on the field. Sorry, but this is not a great team. Best record in the NL, 97 wins, dominant pitching staff, best offense in the league. Yeah you're right, they weren't a great team. Celarly the FO is to blame. the 97 wins were a fluke and now they're being exposed as a sham. good call.
  15. Not even close You're delusional. No offense to you personally. The fact that the players choke every season has nothing to do with the organization. They put a great team on the field. I'll keep asking till I get an answer: What level of underperformance over what sample is needed to suspect an organizational effect? Surely we can study this statistically instead of just spewing dogma. You're a god damn moron. If you want to blame it on the pressure that is on the team with the 100 year thing, then fine. But stop acting like the organization is to blame. You sound like an idiot. They built a 97 win team with very few flaws. It's not their fault they're choking.

  17. Why, can he pitch? Huh??? Bringing up Micah implies that his bat could possibly "save" this team. While the extra offense could help, the biggest problem is the Cubs' pitching giving up an assload of runs. Micah can't do anything about that. Are you even watching?
  18. Why, can he pitch? You're a moron if you're blaming Zambrano
  19. :banghead: The sad part is, we'll be back like sheeps when next season rolls around. We'll root for them all year and then be forced to sit through another postseason choke job.
