I think I ccan speak for the 99 percent of the almost intelligent world by saying "I hate the nickname "Big Papi"
-
How can you possibly start a thread like this about a 2 bit organizatio that got lucky enough to beat us. I HATE EXPANSION CLUBS!!!! esp those guys, and the NY METs and San Diego Padres. I would rather lose to the cardinals than to a new world expansion club.
-
can we re-title this what went right since alex gonz. screwed up royally.
-
I read that too, I don't think I would take that with humor, but a slap in the face. sounded like he as upset. I wouldn't do that to a friend
-
I would agree with that assesment, and I use to run home every day from school to catch the last cpl of inning in 69
-
according to Fox-SW in TX we upset the all so dominant Astro's. They claim that it could happen esp. when their offense was lagging.
-
ie: Ryan Sandberg attempt at return
-
sounds strange, because Sammy's on field defense was not even near sweet swinging Billy. the strike out ratio is better and none better to deep fly ball at crucial time than Billy. Soryy I do believe Sammy should be on also

I heard the other day on fox or espn, can't remember, one of there" guru's" said that if dusty gets can speir wouldbe the most likely cnadidate.

A lot of those power guys provide good OBP, though. A power guy with a good OBP is better than a non power guy with a good OBP. agree, as well if our power hitters would just show some of their power on days that the wind blows out.
-
What was discusting was that Trachel use to be ours and he sucked then, and I believe now. What does that say about us.

Cubs' Players Fighting Back
hardcorecubfan replied to RonnieWooWooSanto's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This statement is just a blatent lie! A Cub fan at Wrigley being drunk would never happen especially in the beachers, but if they were drunk their aim would not be good enough to hit him. "They suck" I believe is just too mild of a word to describe them at this point in time. -
ya, so did my dad and he says thank goodness the war had taken the best from other teams or the cubs wouldn't have made. the guys that did make it back or srved there time were not in great shape
-
OOOPS :lol:
-
Garner didn't select the starters. Ya, I know but putting soriano as a lead off man, that was his decision.
-
NL doesn't stand a chance with these schmoes
-
Now I know Scrap Iron is the manager for the NL but it almost looks like a Dusty lineup. the lineup is full of free swingers and low OBP people, except for Puljos and Rollins
-
walks clog the bases
-
so does baker have his "horses" now?
hardcorecubfan replied to abuck1220's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Now, now are you forgetting he is a "players manager?" :roll: -
Hey, I am excited to watch the Cubs today!!
hardcorecubfan replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think that is many of our sentiments the way they are playing. But my prediction for Lee is that the first three pitchers will be nice and tight to him, testing that wrist -
I respectfully disagree. I don't see how playing the game does anything to make you more likely to be a better manager. It gives you the respect of the players, which is more than any ability to pull together a lineup. It's the same as any job: if you don't have respect for your boss, would you do a good job? The way the baseball world works you have to put in your time in the minors, in the front office, etc. for the major league level. It's an old-school mentality that wouldn't readily accept a manager who has no playing experience. A great coach is a great coach...has nothing to do with his ability as a ball-player. I do see where you are coming from and the Good Old boy system, but esptablish yourself hard, yet respectful the first couple weeks, show that you have knowledge of the game and surround yourself with good people (Atlanta braves for 10 yrs) It is the people around you that can make you look even better and how they are used. It is like the Presidency, bewing a senator and congressmen can only give you a hint of what the job is really like. Nobody knows until they get in there. teh great Pres. surroundd themselve with great people same with MLB managing
-
done three of them and they are still better than the last option with dusty
-
I had to stop it at 18-21 because I am an optomist or is that a pediatrist?
-
He wouldn't want to be in that program it sucks.....Maybe I have said to much
