  1. Seems like the only games the Cubs will win the rest of the way are Rich Hill starts. 100 losses and a chance for the Fecal League Championship seem pretty safe.
  2. not very many. Not as many as Izturis knocks in with his glove.
  3. Oscar Acosta Yup, you are right. After doing a search, it indeed was a 21 year old Rueben Quevedo who was allowed to throw 135 pitches. Oscar Acosta lost track of the pitch count and Don Baylor confessed that it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I can imagine the field day this board would be having if Dusty and Rothschild did something similar.
  4. Anyone remember the Cub manager (or was it pitching coach?) who actually admitted to losing track of the pitch count after they let a young pitcher (Rueben Quevedo I think) throw over 130 pitches? Am I imagining this?
  5. Freddy Bynum's 3-walk (and counting) game stands as proof that Dusty is losing his players.
  6. Number one reason why Brenly shouldn't become the new Cub manager: He's watched this team all year long and yet he still wants to be their manager (or at least he doesn't flat out dismiss the idea). Sanity check: FAILED
  7. Mark Anderson. Devin Hester. Daniel Manning. Nice day for the rooks.
  8. Peanut! It was just a matter of time for an obligatory Favre interception.
  9. Bobby Wade : Bears :: Neifi Perez : Cubs
  10. Ha ha, 2 consecutive holding calls on the Packers.
  11. This one appears to be working... http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20060910_CHI@GB
  12. Moose finally starting to justify his salary.
  13. Jones is normally a better blocker than he has shown. I'm chalking it up to limited playing time in the preseason.
  14. 163 passing yards for Rex in the first quarter.
  15. The Cubs will need to finish at least 7-12 over the last 19 games to avoid 100 losses. After the Atlanta series, the rest of the schedule is: LA Dodgers (3) Cincinatti (3) at Philadelphia (3) at Cincinatti (4) Milwaukee (2) Colorado (3) I can't see the Cubs winning 7 more games. There will be no way for Hendry to spin this one in the off-season. Instead, we'll just get platitudes: "Last year was unacceptable...we know we need to get better...yada, yada, yada".
  16. Joe McCarthy! Quick, name the last Cub manager who even had another managing job after leaving Chicago. Answer: (not counting interim manager John Vukovich who got a similar interim gig with Philadelphia) Lee Elia
  17. Who cares what Fairy Gillete says. Get it, Fairy, Gary, Fairy/Gary. It rhymes, you see, and is therefore gutbusting hilarious. Unforunately though, he is absolutey correct in what he says...and that is so depressing.
  18. Cubs lose! Cubs lose! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/freejju/industywetrusty.jpg
  19. Mayberry is so worthless. Another great acquistion, Jimbo.
