    "Scott Eyre who just signed a 3 year, 11 million dollar deal with the Cubs staying in a $98 a night hotel." :lol: I remember that when Gary Gaetti came to the Cubs in 98, he lived in a cheap hotel and took the el to Wrigley. Didn't Rod "Dead Arm" Beck live in his motorhome at one time or is that another former Cubs player I'm thinking of? I could swear it was Beck though. It fits in to his personality. I'd love to see the Keg-O-Rator in that thing. I imagine it had a funnel to each room.

    They need those for when they show a highlight of one of the A's after they get traded. You HAVE TO have a Cub out there when showing a highlight of any player doing something good.

    On XM 175, they said this sets him back 4-6 weeks. The earliest we'll have Wood back is late May. That's if he has no complications with the knee and that once he is through rehabbing the knee, he suffers no set backs in his throwing program. He won't be able to begin throwing again until early to mid April and then still has to get his arm back in shape. So remember when we noticed that the Cubs had a glut of potential starting pitchers, and we wondered why? Prior, Z, Maddux, Rusch, Hill, Williams, Guzman, Miller... I really think there's more to this than just the surface explanation. Me too and that's why I never expected Wood to pitch until July at the earliest. Time for the young guys to step up.

    Villanova is a bad matchup for this team. Any team with any team speed will kill Syracuse this year...no athletes at all and it is showing big time on the defensive end. Our strength of schedule is like 9 so that ought to help but you have to win games too.

    The better team won and this just goes to show how bad defensively Syracuse is this year. I think Boeheim and his staff have done their worst coaching in a long time this year. 'Cuse is still eligible ofor the Big E tourney, right? If so, do they need a strong showing to make the dance, or are they safe? If we lose to Villanova and go one and out in the BE we're done for. This is one of the worst basketball teams on the Hill that I can remember.

    Speaking of which, Flames, I was wrong about DePaul being eliminated from Big East tourney contention. They can get in if they beat ND on Saturday (please don't) and Providence loses to Marquette on Saturday (likely). So they'd get in as the final seed and get humilated by UConn or Villanova. Great! Maybe the Syr game will give them some confidence. Of course those teams play defense so we'll see.

    Mr. I got kicked out of school and criticize others for doing something a lot worse? It's like listening to Bill Walton complain about players that don't play through their injuries.

    As a Cub fan you can always dream Raw and I'd love for that dream to come true. I think they would be the new blood the Cubs would need to win some extra games with some of the qualities that you mentioned and bringing some enthusiasm into this team.

    Hmmm....speed on first got the pitcher to throw the ball away and then 2 groundouts and the Cubs win. Slow runner at first and it's a double play. This one reason why Baker needs 11 pitchers and not 12.

    If DePaul played at the UC, I'd do my best to make a few games a year. But All State Arena is a terribly inconvenient location for me. Just thinking about getting on the Kennedy heading towards the airport during rush hour makes me lightheaded. I suppose that's one reason it's nice to be in a small city, we never have traffic like you guys do.

    I'll root for this kid no matter where he plays.
  13. CuseCubFan69
    Speaking of DePaul....any of you Chicago people going to see the Syracuse game?
  14. CuseCubFan69
    That's July 1st. March 2nd is "Take Off Day" eh.
  15. CuseCubFan69
    i get the idea that the book on prior is to actually attempt to foul pitches off. it just seems like hitters, when they get behind in the count against him, just try to foul pitches off until he walks them or serves up something somewhat hittable. How is that different from any other pitcher? I look at what Sully wrote as Prior has flat pitches and you can foul them off easier than someone with more movement like Wood. Sooner or later he has to inch away from the spot he is throwing to and that's when hitters jump on Priors pitches.

    I'm happy a Cub pitcher other than Maddux remembered to cover first. And a big thanks to Bruce for helping us with our Cub fix!
  17. CuseCubFan69
    Hmmm....Pat, Ron and Bruce perhaps?
  18. CuseCubFan69
    Bouncing a lot of curveballs 5 feet in front of the plate. Well if Billy Barty joins the Cards, Hill will be ready for him. I hope he's more relaxed the next time out.
  19. CuseCubFan69
    Does it look like Hill is trying to be too cute or is he just flat out missing the plate?
  20. CuseCubFan69
    Does Veal have a slider or are the Cubs going to teach it to him? I just keep thinking about Haggerty and his troubles handling it.
  21. CuseCubFan69
    If you add the fact that the Cubs may have a 12 man staff it makes it even better.
  22. CuseCubFan69
    Ghostbusters? Naw...slump busters.
  23. CuseCubFan69
    Nothing like spoiling a kid for 16 years and then calling him a brat. Do all teams do this or is it just a Chicago thing?
  24. CuseCubFan69
    Well, this is the same Newark Star-Ledger that said Mark Prior was going to have Tommy John surgery back in 2004. But they were right when they said Tommy John would need Tommy John surgery.

    Cheap enough where they should be deleated from MLB. If this is true this team has to be contracted or moved now.
