    Mavricks: 1995-96: 26-56 1996-97: 24-58 1997-98: 20-62 1998-99: 14-36 1999-00: 40-42 Cuban Purchases Team in Jan 2000-01: 53-29 2001-02: 57-25 2002-03: 60-22 2003-04: 52-30 Yeah, what a joke he is as an owner. His initial spending spree made the team better, but they have since stalled, and his continued meddling will not help. The Cubs already are an equivalent of the Mavs, good, but nothing special. They don't need a big personality owner to make the next step, they need smart personel decisions. Simply throwing money around and being vocal (Cuban's only apparant skills as an owner) won't help a thing. Cubs fans who get caught up in the misguided dream of replacing ownership are wasting their time and unfairly giving a free pass to continued mistakes by management. The management that the ownership has put in place.

    Sounds like the Cubs to me. And I don't know your age, but the Mavericks made the playoffs several times back in the '80's with Derek Harper and Rolando Blackman. Yes, they had a period when they stunk, but it's not like that franchise has always been horrible. Again, how close have his teams been to winning the NBA title? I'm more interested in a NL pennant and World Series title. But maybe some are more interested in seeing the owner's face than the end results. You forgot Roy "snort, snort" Tarpley.

    1) So does the Tribune 2) So does the Tribune 3) So does the Tribune 4) So does the Tribune Cuban is a joke. He throws his money at all his problems. And he would definitely throw his money at has been veterans, playing the role of George II. Cuban would get involved in the day to day operations of the team and treat the non revenue producing and non headline grabbing minor league system like an underperforming asset. So does the Tribune.

    But can he where a uniform and sit on the bench? Maybe he can take out the line-up card? Would there be a new reality show? You know something like "The Bat Boy" or "Player Personnel"
  5. Knightlife_in_Lubbock
    Yes but only if it completes the rest of your uniform you wore to the game.

    Kevin Mitchell begs to differ. Why, was Kevin Mitchell in the stands eating a hot dog when he caught his fly ball? And how offend are you in the stands on the fly? Most people are just sitting or standing there.

    Aren't they undefeated on days you didn't post stats? :wink: :P :lol:

    But that's old Nomar. Much long ago Nomar. Nomar of the past. This is going to be a slower, much less productive version of Nomar. We shall call him "Macias".

    I don't know, we'll have to wait to see if he can pitch or not to know for sure. I wonder how many other position players, who pitched at least 1 inning, retired with an ERA of 0.00 ? I believe in one of Brenly's MANY Diamondbacks stories, he said he had Grace pitch an inning in a blowout and I'm pretty sure he didn't allow any runs. I do remember Grace pitching an inning, but I'm not sure if he gave up any runs. http://baseball-reference.com/g/gracema01.shtml Grace pitched an inning, and gave up a run. I think it was a homer, but I'm not positive. He was doing his imitation of Mike Fetters while on the mound.

    Or hustling back to 1st when there are 2 out and a fly ball to the outfield?
  14. Knightlife_in_Lubbock
    They all are. If they are still in Montreal. :wink:

    I thought this would be the one thread without mention of the losing streak Way to go. You were the first to mention it. :wink:
  16. Knightlife_in_Lubbock
    Pardon the expression, but if its anything like "Smear the Queer", then yes. (Basically, a kid runs around with a ball until he gets flattened. The ball is then tossed up in the air and the process begins again. Sometimes it involved teams a la rugby; however, sometimes is was twenty against one.) Smear the Queer was the best game ever. Wow you can still call it that today? On this board?
  17. Knightlife_in_Lubbock
    So he is a complete and complete loser? Or did you mean udder? :lol:

    Holy Crap. Not remotely justifying Kenny's actions, but that butt weasel of a camera man looks and talks like a typical money grubbing plaintiff. He's you client isn't he?

    Baseball malpractice is what it is. With all due respect to people that say Dusty is even an average manager, his continued lineups of this nature say otherwise. It may be one small aspect of the game, but it is a hugely significant one. He has wasted three months of the most potent bat in the league. Does that sound like something an average manager would do? so it would be the equivalent of Bobby Knight having Scott May play point guard? Yeah that's average. So you're comparing the '05 Cubs to the greatest college basketball team of all time?
  20. Knightlife_in_Lubbock
    Come on. Those pitches aren't even close to the zone. Even if he swings and somehow makes contact with that, it certainly won't be good contact. Corey's been robbed out of 2 ABs. Agreed. Has someone got McMichael on the speed dial for the 7th inning stretch?

    He needs to learn to find other spots for the needle. :shock:

    I don't think trying to get around the word censor like this is something that Tim or the mods appreciate. Tim had previously asked people to avoid such attempts in a post some time ago, but I think its be more prevalent recently. Just a friendly suggestion. Thank you Mr. Rogers. Hey, its a slippery slope. Recently, I've noticed this habit more and more. I'm not threatening anyone (as I have no power to do so), and I don't know whether he was aware of that policy. Thus, my post was a simply caution before the mods got to it. Though not a mod, as a responsible member of this community, I make no apologies for bringing a board policy to the forefront when necessary. I know what you are saying. But I would like to point out the amount of this type of behavior seems to happen more in game threads and some of it isn't even #%^$ up.
