    Take pitches Jock.

    Speed wasn't sposed to slump, dammit.

    Just think, pretty soon we'll get to see Blanco play every day (at least for 6 games or more).
  4. ToupeeOnFire
    Dude, are you trying to be, like, ironic.
  5. ToupeeOnFire
    Was that on A-Ram or Wendell Ki...er, I mean Chris Speier?

    Walker doing his best to convince Dusty that he should be playing second base when Lee gets back. It will be a tall order with Womack on the team.

    Pat Hughes: "Matt Fultz says there is a 74% chance of a thunderstorm tonight." Ron Santo: "But it could miss us." Pat Hughes: "Matt Fultz says there is a 26% chance of the thunderstorm missing us."

    Jacques Jones with a bad throw? I'd have never guessed.
  9. ToupeeOnFire
    Well, fiddlesticks.
  10. ToupeeOnFire
    Don't worry, Womack will save us.

    With Neifi not in the starting line-up, I think the patented double switch is all but guaranteed. Patented, my butt !! Managers were using the double switch in baseball 70 years before Johnnie B. was a gleam in his old man's eye !!! Dusty "reinvented" the double switch. :) Nice first inning for Maddux.

    Cy Rusch mowing 'em down. KKKKK
  14. ToupeeOnFire
    I don't blame Chris Speier on that one. He's been out of practice.

    Ryu isn't fooling anyone. Maybe they need to paint an Osprey on Barrett's chest protector.
  16. ToupeeOnFire
    It's a good thing, now that they have Womack, they can still find a way to get Neifi in the line-up. Go Dusty go!!!
  17. ToupeeOnFire
    Yes

    I don't know if you or anyone else has noticed this, but to me, I think Pierre has lost a step down the first base line. I can't tell you how many times I have seen a relatively slow chopper on the left side of the infield from Pierre where I was thinking, " Oh, he'll beat that out" only to see him get thrown out by a step and a half. He just doesn't seem that fast to me, at least not as fast going down the line as he looked in Florida. (If there are any strat-o-matic veterans out there, I'd tag his speed right now at about 1-14). He's still proficient at getting good jumps in his basestealing, so his % is good there, but it looks like he's slowed down speed wise. He is currently leading all of MLB by a wide margin in groundouts. He has about 90, with Luis Castillo ranking second with about 70. I'd guess that his inability to beat out a lot of these hits might have something to do with his low average. The fact that he never walks coupled with his awesome outmaking ability has resulted in this terrible situation we now face with him. I think you might be on to something. But then again, it could just be the tall grass. :roll:

    "I don't know what to say. I'm pushing all the right buttons, the players just aren't responding. I'm not Gandalf, I can't just wave my magic wand, like in that movie, and turn a pumpkin into a hobbit. The players are going to have to start playing like munchkins on their own. I'm not a wizard, and this ain't no Oz. Speaking of rodents, whatever happened to Macias? I miss that little dude."

    100 losses here we come. And no, Prior, Wood and Lee returning will not change the inevitable outcome.

    A few moments earlier WGN had a shot of a kid in the stands wearing a Cub hat, wide-eyed with distress and nervously clapping. An image like that really hit home. Parents, be careful with what you expose your children to. Only the Cubs.
  22. ToupeeOnFire
    Thank you for reminding me there is a bright side.
  23. ToupeeOnFire
    Uh oh.
  24. ToupeeOnFire
    Of course it works. Was there any doubt?
  25. ToupeeOnFire
    Yeah my thoughts too. Pat said the attendance was 40,000 plus, which is shocking and disappointing. And have they been disapointed so far? The game ain't over yet. Don't underestimate this team.
