Dusty is eager to ruin Zambrano the way he has ruined Prior and Wood. Hmmm...baseball signs an agreement with the MLBA and then 7 years later the Anti-Cub comes out of hiding and destroys the Cubs as we know them. It all makes sense now.

You've watched Baker how long and yet you say something silly like that? Sham on you Jehr. I don't watch Baker. I close my eyes and cover my ears because it's otherwise painful. :lol: Maybe I should have highlighted the should in the statement above, but you're right...that's a HUGE assumption, and not a good one to make. I'd love to see Guz in the starting rotation for the rest of the year and see the Cubs move Maddux to a team that has a chance to win and call Hill up. I too live in your dream world.

Who'd a thought Blanco would be the best hitter on this team?
-
Well he hasn't been hurt lately. We pamper pitchers too mucht these days anyway. Did Nolan Ryan worry about pitch counts? I say pitch Guzman 120 pitches every 4 days if his stuff is good. So maybe 60 pitches or so on 2 days rest?

Ron Mexico always scores big with the ladies.

That's the kind of speed the Cubs really need!
-
They aren't willing to think about the idea that their way might not be the right way. Well it seems the Trib/MacPhail don't either. How are those Bears of yours looking gooney? They can't be as near as frustrating as this team is.
-
If the Cubs had four more Rusches they would be a cinch to get the first pick! Come on Hendry pick up Ortiz!
-
Why are these guys so stubburn? Are they just stubburn, ignorant or in denial? They just simply do not have a clue on how to run and manage a baseball team.

I heard that Guzman is the guy that's hooking up the wireless stuff so that's why he's in the pen. -
Bad breaks. Injuries. Bad hops. Not hitting while runners are in scoring postion. The excuses have already been set in motion.

My head just exploded. You just can't make up stuff like this. I have to laugh....really, I need to laugh because the alternative isn't worth it.

Could you imagine Joe Morgan and Dusty in the booth together. I mean, isn't Dusty the sort of player-loved, vanilla, baseball lifer that ESPN loves? Joe Morgan actually gave himself credit today for thinking that Ortiz was "taking off" after a terrific 2002 in Minnesota, saying they were terribly stupid for releasing him. Then he said that he thought somebody would be a good leader for this team, and "I was right." "Dude, you're a baseball genius." I'd actually watch and listen to games they do. Maybe the Comedy Channel can do some games sometime and they'll fit right in because I can't take either of them too seriously.

What happened to the moms in spandex pants? All I see are hooligans.

My name is Dusty and I'm a speedaholic. Opps....you have to recognize you have a problem first and Dusty and Mr. J. Hendry do not recognize it in any way. I think we need an intervention. I think you meant oops, not opps. opps is to close to ops and dusty definitely doesnt know what that is. :D You may have figured it out. They think OPS is actually OPPS!
-
Maybe the Cubs can aquire Sisco and his 8 ERA for Lee?

I bet Dal that the Cubs would start Perez 140 times this year. I think I'm going to lose but I think Neifi will be close to 140 played though.
-
Well duh! I can't take this team seriously in any way. It reminds of trying to add to 100 with 10 numbers and none can be greater than 8.
-
I thought that this thread was about Rusch actually getting big enough to split into two pitchers and the Cubs sending one of the M's to the minors.
-
Dusty is the man. It's about time somebody recoginized how good Bynum is. Now once the two headed moster of Neifi Womach get all the playing time at second the plan will be complete. What a great team to root for.....thanks Jim Hendry!

Dreaming of Carl Crawford
CuseCubFan69 replied to BWcubs21's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
How is he "not good at getting on base"? He's got a .346 OBP this season (at the age of 24). I'd say .346 is good, ecspecially when you consider how young he is. He doesn't strike out too much (26 Ks in 242 ABs so far this year), has a decent OBP, has some good power, and a ton of speed. If this is the best he'll get, then I don't think he would command "an arm and a leg", but he's very young and improving. He also has stolen bases at a 81.5% success rate over his career. You think .346 is "good.... :roll: . .346 is pretty average for a "leadoff hitter" with his speed and pop. Not to mention Crawford career OBP is .323, so...as of right now...if I was the DRays I would jumped on Santana/Crawford deal before the Angels reconsider. Having Kazmir/Santana at the top of the rotation, would finally give the DRays pitching hope for the not so distant future. Unless it's a decent offer, I would pass on Crawford. First of all .346 out of the leadoff spot would be heaven this year, but thats a whole different story. :) I think with his developing power that he may be better suited hitting in the 2nd spot (if you have a traditional leadoff hitter). However he is showing more patience this year and is still a few years away from his prime. Is he ever going to be a great OBP guy, probably not, but its not out of the question that as he matures into a very good OBP guy. But you have a Manager and GM that live in the stone age so I doubt they would aquire him to bat 2nd. -

If I remember correctly Crawford had the fewest pitches per plate apperance last year. He perfect for Hendry...fast and swings at everything. I expect Pie and others to be traded for this guy. As for the Angels, they swing at every pitch too so he'd work well with that organizations philosophy too. -
Did anyone else notice... (Sutcliffe and DLEE)
CuseCubFan69 replied to thedaymen's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I suppose being right once in a blue moon is a good thing to some people. Maybe Baker promised Sutcliffe the pitching coach job after Larry gets canned.
