    It seems that Barrett may have learned much from Sensei Kyle.

    I passed the 10,000 votes cast mark today. I hope the rest of you are still helping...espcially Barrett. You never know when you might need a can of Whoop-Ass opened during the All-Star game.

    Ok, I have a dugout box seat row B for June 30th when the Sox come to Wrigley. I figure with seats that close, the players should be able to hear me and I plan to heckle A.J. mercilessly. The few of you that have met me can attest that I can talk lots...as well as loudly and clearly. Help me come up with ways to heckle A.J. Post in this thread if you like. If too obscene, feel free to PM. Nothing is off-limits. If you know of his wife or girlfriend's name, all the better. I have nearly 6 weeks to prepare and I intend to go at this with the same effort and intensity that I've approached the ASG voting, seeking autographs, and trying to get Monroe named a Cubs town. It's on!

    I hope the Mavs win so he gives the Cubs an offer they cant refuse I just hope the Mavs win so at least one team I route for will win a championship.

    Call him up! Mid-season form. Micah with his first AAA hit of the season...a HR to right! I-Cubs up 1-0. Against a lefty, too. Go Micah!

    Is this the last of the jersey auctions, or will there be another one?
  8. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I think it's pretty pathetic too.
  9. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Damn.
  10. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Jesus, ump! I've seen four damn strikes that weren't called!

    Hey Blue...where the hell was that pitch?!?!
  12. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Lots of pitches for Maddux this inning.
  13. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Damn!

    You do know that Maddux won't be batting today, don't you?

    I'm just wondering if that was his actually quote or the one with the multiple f-bombs and other profanities edited out. I was unaware that Ozzie could form coherent thought without cursing.

    I'd like to revisit the idea for Shealy before dealing for Snow.

    He was also getting squeezed badly. The homerun to Zimmerman should have never happened as Wood had him on strike three that wasn't called.

    What would we do with him when Lee returns?
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'm starting to get giddy that Marmol signed two pictures for me last week.

    Personally I think that we're already seeing what we have in Cedeno -- great defense, solid average, little patience at the plate and few walks, modest pop. His comps are going to wind up being guys like Lugo, Eckstein, and *gulp* Neifi. And frankly, IMO the defense and especially the average are more likely to get worse, than the walks and power are to get better. I hope I'm wrong, but he doesn't figure to be much more than a league averageish SS. You're probably right there. If that's the case, Tejada may be a good move if we can't improve the offense in other places. On the other hand, shortstop is one place where I don't mind giving up some offense for defense, if we have offense in other places. Tejada's defense is not great now and it's only going to get worse through the life of that contract. I'm not opposed to getting Tejada. If this team was above 500 and in contention, I'd probably be in favor of the upgrade now. I just hate the idea of trading young talent for a player in a season when that move isn't likely to pay dividends when better moves for the future of the franchise may be available at a later date.

    I can't imagine Dusty calling that...I just can't believe he's that stupid. I can believe he's that stupid, but yeah I agree that it was Neifi's stupid decision.
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Ok...just got home. I have no motivation to watch the TiVo on this one for the re-cap, but I'll get to it later tonight... but for those watching....did Dusty call for the bunt or did Neifi do it on his own? Either way...that's got to be the stupidest freaking idea I've ever seen to end a ball game. Jesus Christ, what were they thinking!

    Who is behind the plate today? Please tell me it's not the same ump who ejected Kerry in 2004.
