If the "Homerun Derby" for some reason just happened to be on at the same time as the NBA's "Slam Dunk Contest", I'd probably watch something on the Home and Garden Network. :roll: Both contests are old, boring and unfresh, regardless of the little twists they try to add to it. But if I were forced to watch one, it would [unfortunately] be the Slam Dunk Contest, simply because I wouldn't have to listen to that obnoxious Chris Berman guy. He really sucks, IMO, and he takes his suckiness up a notch for that contest. I mean, as another poster so eloquently stated: "What does hitting the ball over the fence when someone lobs it up there mean anyway?" :roll:

Dubois only got 3 weeks as a starter. If every rookie who came to the big leagues was expected to get hot within 3 weeks teams would have rosters full of 50 year olds. If Dusty wanted to be consistent he could have given Dubois the same 5 weeks that Hollandsworth got to start. I don't see why a rookie gets less slack than a mediocre 10 year veteran. Also, who's to say Dubois will even get another chance? All Hollandsworth has to do is put up mediocre numbers to keep Jason on the bench and probably run him out of town. I'm not saying all things are equal. But it doesn't have to be equal. If the Cubs were a second-tier team, or if late August or September roll around and they're clearly out, I say you play Dubois to see what he can do. But the Cubs are right there in it. And you have to go with the hot bat. Call it lucky, a hunch, or anything else. But JD's bat was getting quiet and Baker decided to give Holly another shot. Holly responded. You've got to play Holly if he's hitting. I'd love to see the Cubs develope JD into an everyday player. But I'd rather see the team win first. And right now, they're better with TH in the lineup.

The last 10 games, Burnitz and Holly have been hitting. So it males it less likely to sit one of them in place of Dubois. The outfielder not hitting is CP, and if he comes out, it isn't Dubois that'll get the ABs. The way I see, Holly started and struggles, so BD got his chance. BD did well at first, but started slumping. So Holly gets the chance back and has flourished so far. BD has to be ready for his next shot and capitalize. You gotta play the hot guys when you're in contention.

Sisco is already pitching for the Royals.
PackLandVA replied to YearofDaCubs's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The only way Sisco comes back to the Cubs is if we trade for him. Ain't happening, he's gonna stick!
