The key is to add flexability to your program which Bonds did.
-
Bonds is a great player, that in my eyes, ruined it by cheating. If he hit 50 HR's before the roids I'd respect what he has done (60+) but he didn't.
-
My opinion is that teams that have less talent need to be better at other areas of the game which the Cubs are not. Since the Cubs are not that talented, the mistakes are magnified.

Oh, so this is why Murton is successful........

It's going to be hard to get excited about the off season with this guy in charge....no fun at all. -
Burnitz as a stopgap in CF?
CuseCubFan69 replied to AllStarMe's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Sounds good. Guillen worries me as the Cubs might as well get Bradley too. -
Congratulations Raisin on the OK win and the 5 teams in the top 25.

Have to agree here. Bring him back and he'll be batting 4th again. :( Yeah...Baker does put a damper on things. ](*,) -

I think it would depend on the Cub personal at the time. If Baker is still there and so is Perez that would probably put Neifi at the leadoff spot as I assume that Hairston would not be on the team. I'd like to see Burny in CF with Murton in LF and a Floyd/Giles or better like hitter in right. I think he would be a very good bridge to Pie. The only thing is the leadoff slot. If Baker would put Walker in the leadoff and then Murton I'd be fine with that. Walker Murton Lee Ramirez Giles/Floyd Nomar Burnitz Barrett I'd be happy with that lineup. -
In retrospect maybe. Now that we have seen that Pitt is completely awful. Initially, you had to be impressed with back to back wins on the road vs ranked teams. Michigan was top 5. That's more impressive than an OT win @ ND when some of their luster has faded after we found out that Pitt is a joke. It's a double edged sword. It all ends up working out in the end. The voters knew Pitt was a joke when they moved up ND that high since Pitt lost to Ohio before the Michigan game. My point is that they can move ND high enough and drop Michigan low enough so that ND is higher than them in both polls after that victory, but not do the same when MSU beats ND. Michigan St beats ND at ND and is still 4 spots behind in the coaches poll. It's all about the reputation and misguided perception with these things. ND may very well be a better team and finish with a better record than Michigan St but to the point is what was accomplished on the field to the point of the poll and that was a Michigan St victory at ND. It amazes me that these clowns are the ones who vote who goes to the championship game.

I don't think it does. If ND and Michigan St win the rest of their games ND will remain ahead because the voters can't admit they are wrong. They always drop a team only so far and even if they are beaten by an unranked team like Michigan St and like Iowa State over Iowa as they still remain behind in the polls.

Great job by Brooks... This was the defining moment of his tenure at UK. You're having my College football/Cub fan 2004 season and I'm thrilled that Syracuse fired Coach P and Coach Robinson actually made an in game adjustment against Virginia...I haven't seen that done here in years. So far I like what I see from this coach.

If you have the kind of money Giles has, there is nothing crappy about Southern California. Also, his current team is likely to make the playoffs, while Chicago clearly isn't. From a non-Cub-biased view, the Padres are already home, already a "contender", and probably will make a good offer. If he leaves SD for Chicago, there is a legitimate argument that can be made to say he goes only for more money (and not because he wants to win). That might be a legit argument, but the Cubs could easily finish with a better record than San Diego, and could easily win more than them next season, so at least an equally legitimate argument could be made that he was moving from a stagnant ballclub to a more likely winner. But the Cubs have St. Louis ahead of them while SD has no one. If the Padres show some more activity during the off season and IMO Giles is staying in SD. I'd like to see the Cubs have to move some of this young pitching to get a good OF.

I agree, although I don't think he'd be a nice addition. IMO Manny will be in Met pin stripes next year, with either Beltran or Cameron wearing Boston Red. If Beltran comes over the Mets also send a prospect. If Cameron comes over Boston pays some money and the Mets send a prospect. I'd be willing to bet that Manny is a Met next year. Imagine if the Mets just have to unload Cameron to Boston and pick up Manny's salary? They'd be a fun team to watch as long as Pedro's arm doesn't fall off.

It's all about the O. A big thanks to all of you that helped out on the minors....it was a pleasure to read.
-
I just can't see Hendry adding Ramirez after the Sosa debacle. Big contract high maintenance players are not going to be something he goes after IMO. Yeah, he'd be a nice addition but I just don't think it'll happen.

http://www.miamidolphinsbahamas.com/images/wannstedt_funny_face.jpg Has he ever won as a head coach? I wonder how Harris is doing?
-
Hey DJAXX....Ainge is a better QB then Claussen...is it possible Claussen is playing because of his little brother is the best QB HS recruit ever?
-
I remember playing OK when they stunk and we still couldn't beat them. First game we lost because our team celebrated a TD near the end of the game...first time that rule was invoked...and OK kicked a 47 yard FG at the horn to win. Second we just could not stop their power rushing game. That's all they could do but we could not stop it. Moral of the story....if UCLA can't stop the rush you have a chance.

Go Cuse!!!! Are there any Virginia fans out there? You have a heck of a team and it's going to take us playing a heck of a game to win this one.
-
Why, is he wearing something shiny?
-
Solo shot...who'd a thought?
-
IMO...Wrigley is the big draw, especially when the Cubs are losing. Put a crud park...say like the Cell there and you'd have 15K there.
-
Sorry! :oops: I used to have a kid that did this. Once he got going no one could touch him but that first inning was one tough hombre. Never did fix the problem.

i gotta say cuse, your posts are getting increasingly weird as this season progresses down the toilet...I take it that you're pretty well disgusted wth Johnny B.'s antics? Frustrated beyond my control 29yl. Sarcasm is my only hope for Cub sanity at this point. i hear ya, as ive given up on the seaso, the thing that frustrates me the most is all this talk of contract extensions. i'm not sure if i can handle 2 more years of this crap...if it happens i might have to change my name to 29yearsB4givingup(actually it would be 31 if i updated the actual years) I won't give up because Dickie V told me not to. Go Cubs!!!!

Frustrated beyond my control 29yl. Sarcasm is my only hope for Cub sanity at this point. Look at the bright side. You have the owners' meetings coming up after the season where there will be a lot of hype with little action. Then, you'll have the Winter Meetings thereafter, again with a lot of hype and little action. Next, hope will spring eternal as rumors will swirl up until ST that the Cubs will acquire some difference making player. After that, news will come forth that Hendry has signed and extension. News of Dusty's extension will closely follow. To top it off, Matt Murton will hit .654 in ST. Of course, he will start the year in Iowa where Ronnie Cedeno will still be rehabbing gangrene infection that the Cubs failed to properly diagnose following surgery to fix his broken hand. :lol: Nice brightside JC. Go Cubs!!!!!!
