    You have to know how to clutch hit...it's a craft. :wink: Nice job by the W. Sox coming back and taking advantage. Teams playing well, take advantage of those mistakes and more times than not, the Cubs in '05 would've squandered that gift. Do you think it's a positive/success frame of mind? When things go well some players tend to have that confidence of we can do it and when things are not going well they think "What will go bad now?".

    I would have to believe that Tree has payed a lot of attention to this team like we do Baker. People could say that the Cubs lost ARam, Nomar, Wood, Prior and Sosa and still came close to 500. I myself don't know the breakdown on what Macha did during a game like an Oakland fan would have even though his overall numbers were good so to be honest I would like to hear what the A fans have to say.

    It's the Cubs fault he's getting hit so hard.

    Giles with a bad tag. That throw by Jones was perfect.

    I know a lot of people like Damon but watching him throw just makes me cringe. He HAS to be able to put up good numbers offensively or he will be a huge liability.

    Or it could be some stupid official scorer calling an obvious error a hit and thus charging 5 earned runs to the starter instead of 0. That could happen quite easily with some hometown scoring. A lot of people know the difference between hitting 300 and 250 is X amount of hits a month and I'm pretty sure the same can be said about an ERA of 4 and 3 earned run wise.

    Nice job of hitting the ball where it's pitched by Chipper. That was pretty.

    A big clap for the wolfman. Thanks for the nice year Mr. Lee.

    Ohhhh...yes! Now Baker has the Bay AND LA calling for his services. I know, both GM's are the opposite of what Baker does but I can dream.
  11. CuseCubFan69
    He's the guy I really wanted when the Cubs had an opening and hired Baker. Now....so..so.

    If this isn't a typical Clement blow up game I don't know what is.
  13. CuseCubFan69
    Funny no....wonderful yes.

    Now that's the Matty I knew and loved. The ball is moving like crazy.

    Sounds like Jim is a straight-up guy. I've read quite a few reports about Hendry being a very straight up guy. I think Nomar was talking about that last year when he signed. He seems to treat people with respect and that's nice to hear from a GM.
  16. CuseCubFan69
    Is it possible that the difference between a 2.5 and a 4 ERA pitcher is pitching one too many innings? If you have a 6 inning guy and a good pen your more likely to have a better ERA than if the manager leaves you in because your the best choice to be out there.

    There has to be a Reservation near by too.

    Wrigley Field would be like Lord of the Rings?

    Isn't that how the White Sox and Astros got to the post-season? Timely hitting? How does somebody go out and acquire timely hitting in the offseason? Houston and White Sox didn't make it to the playoffs off timely hitting, they made it on unbelievable pitching. They better not waste time, focus and money thinking they can magically solve the clutch dilemna. Just get production Jimbo, let the romanticists worry about the myths you have no control over. Timely hitting is aquired when you buy each player a Rolex, it's just that simple. If you hear Hendry say after a trade or signing: "He hit XXX with runners in scoring position" is your head going to explode? I just have this wierd feeling that it's coming soon to a park you love.

    Floyd would be nice...do the Mets need a second baseman? What would they do with Matsui and his big contract?
  21. CuseCubFan69
    Be the Rifleman? Chuck Conners?

    Re-signing Dempster was probably the first move. What will Hendry's second move be? It might be picking up Walker's option - but I am still convinced Walker will be traded. From what Mr. Miles wrote today, it sounds like Cedeno could be our 2B next year. True. Pitching, defense and timely hitting is what you'll hear our Mr. Hendry say will be the Cub goals for the off-season. I agree with you that Walker is gone. I hope this won't be a sell cheap kind of move. My guess is that trading Walker is contingent on either signing Furcal or being able to get M. Giles, Castillo or Kent to replace Walker. It seems the one who's gone for sure is Nomar. Thank God. Walker could stick around if other options don't pan out. I think he's gone no matter what. I see him going to a team to aquire an OF.

    Isn't that how the White Sox and Astros got to the post-season? Yep. The Cubs tried the Red Sox chemistry thing and now the P,D and T/H will be the theme. Speaking of Walker...he hasn't done an interview for a few days, he's due to say something via the press.

    I know, he's just a kid and he runs like my dad. Your dad with a piano on his back.
