    It's not hard to be dominated when our lineup features Neifi, Bynum, and Blanco. We have no true power threat except Ramirez who's struggling. The only way we score is to string a bunch of hits together. So...we end up leaving buttloads of men on base.

    =D> =D> =D> Of course the problem I have with the hindsight fans is that there's no guarantee that Alou would've put up similar numbers if he'd stayed with the Cubs. I don't watch many Giants games because I don't care to see/hear about Bonds, but I wonder if Daddy Alou puts up with Moises' bad baserunning, poor throws, first pitch ground outs, not calling off the SS/3B on pop ups, not giving ground to the CF on fly balls...... As I said in my first post, I bitched lots about Alou. I have since repented and hope Moises forgives me.

    but the thing is in 2003, if prior woulda sat, everyone would have questioned his "toughness" if/when the cubs lost... you cant have it both ways... we all wanted to ride woody and prior to the world series in 2003, as im sure prior wanted the ball...i think this is very frustrating for all us fans cuz the cubs are stinking it up now...not to mention the frustration prior must be feeling..... I know that we likely don't make the playoffs without riding Prior so hard. That's why I'm not moaning and bitching at him about his injuries now. We're just paying up for that wonderful ride in 2003. I just hope everyone thinks it was worth it.

    Rusch will make his next start in five days.

    Maybe if we were so worried about Prior's health we shouldn't have run his pitch counts into the 120-130's in riding him to a playoff appearance in 2003. I said then that I worried that it could turn Prior into another Juan Guzman. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Prior has a low tolerence for pain or anything like that. I don't think Prior owes us because we paid him. I think the Cubs were careless with him in 2003 because they saw him as one of the only ways that mediocre team was going to make the playoffs. They rode him hard down the stretch and those pitches and abuse have now taken their toll.

    Apparently, some people have never had food poisioning. I hope they get it so they can see if resting a few days after getting it is being babied.

    I'm going to try to get Nic and EPatt's auto. Hopefully, they'll be accomodating.

    Fearless prediction...Rusch throws 4 scoreless innings tonight. Hill gets sent back to Iowa and Rusch is re-instated into the rotation.

    I don't know about any of you, but I sure am glad we gave up Pinto, Nolassco, and Mitre for Pierre.
  10. vance_the_cubs_fan
    This team is mediocre talent.
  11. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Neither is Bynum, Restovich, or Mabry but they're 3/5 of the bench.
  12. vance_the_cubs_fan
    We suck.
  13. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Those teams are going to want Marshall instead. They've seen Guzman and Hill's stat lines.
  14. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Wow...this is about to be loss number three in a row. Anyone remember the seven game losing streaks of last season?
  15. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I've heard just the opposite that Alou was very well liked in the clubhouse. Calling Alou not a good ballplayer is ridiculous. I'd much rather have Alou than Alex Sanchez.
  16. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'm wishing that those who call Prior a wimp get a well deserved case of food poisoning themselves. I think that would be poetic justice.
  17. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I can't find this one on DirectTV EI. Is it not being shown?
  18. vance_the_cubs_fan
    So would I, Rocket. So would I.

    Hey Bruce, if you're browsing this thread, can you take an informal poll in the press box about who has been worse as a Cub on the bases, Moises Alou or Jacque Jones? Thanks!
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Moises, I'm sorry I maligned you so when you were here. I used to think you made too many base running blunders and played too lacksidasical. That was until I had to watch Todd Hollandsworth play LF in 2005 and Jacque Jones play rightfield in 2006. Please come back, Moises. Alou in 2005: 321/400/518 Alou in 2006: 370/424/667 :cry:

  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    We suck! :evil:
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Now that's just stupid.
