    That's the point of this thread - We don't know what we would have to give up. Any ideas (just for the fun of discussing it)?
  2. Springfield_CUBBY
    By the way - those are all comments you could make about our current center fielder. JP plays better defense and hits for higher average . . .
  3. Springfield_CUBBY
    Because he sucks. He has no power, no arm, not a great base stealer, and doesn't walk much. Peirre has hit over .300 4 out of the last 5 years, while JH has not come close to that production. Granted, he's not a big HR threat, but neither is JH. JP gives us more than JH, simple as that.

    Like whom, for instance??
  5. Springfield_CUBBY
    I would add "what does this mean for Harriston??" I like the direction JH JR. is going - but PIERRE! Come on -- how could you say no to him if he's available???

    I believe you stick your index finger out of the glove to protect it. When in the glove, that finger rests just behind the "pocket" and therefore takes the most abuse from hard thrown balls. As a kid we didn't have holes for our index finger, we just slid it out over the top of the glove. It would eventually wear a nice comfortable little groove . . .

    Accoring to the ICubs website, http://www.iowacubs.com/aspx/news.aspx?id=2075 Now I can sleep at night knowing that at least Dusty can't play HIM anymore . . . (I'll let the all-knowing MODS decide if this thread is better suited for the Minor League forum).

    Pardon the expression, but if its anything like "Smear the Queer", then yes. (Basically, a kid runs around with a ball until he gets flattened. The ball is then tossed up in the air and the process begins again. Sometimes it involved teams a la rugby; however, sometimes is was twenty against one.) Smear the Queer was the best game ever. I agree, it was a great way to spend a hot Saturday in 1977 . . .

    No, but could you hum a few bars?? :P

    This is the BEST thread NSBB has had since the loosing streak started!

    We used to call that game "Running Bases" (lame Suburban Chicago name)
  12. Springfield_CUBBY
    I've seen that, don't know what it's called. I thought pepper was a game where you practice rundowns. I think that's called "Pickle" . . .
  13. Springfield_CUBBY
    Where I come from Pepper is a game where you underhand a ball to a batter close by who takes a half swing. Players then practice fielding the ball. My 9 yr old son just took a "pepper ball" right in the eye before his last game. Evil sport . . .

    I read the same thing in my local paper this morning and almost spit my Fruit Loops into my 1 year old's face. Here we have a Golden Opportunity to get JH JR., and his .380 OBP, a start. Instead Dusty goes with "HIS GUY!" and pencils in the .280 OBP Macias. It makes no sense!!!??!!
