    That loose sleep can kill you. Gotta nip that stuff in the bud. That...or the "hte next 9 games"...those always hurt. I've always said I needed my secretary to quality control my posts.

    Sub .200 against lefties. If I'm an opposing GM, at this point I call the my AAA affiliate when I see the Cubs on the schedule and call up the first three lefthanded people I can find. How is is possible we are this bad against lefties? Who fixes the problem, either within or without?

    He's having a very similar year to Jones....I think that sums it up.

    Ok...that's not true. I think I still get updates from CNN every 2 or 3 weeks confirming that "the Pope is still Dead."

    We're on XM 188 tonight...and the next night as well...someone may want to add that to the thread title.

    I wouldn't say that's the alternative. The most realistic alternative is to follow them, but not blindly. I find it very difficult to just start rooting for a team I have no emotional investment in. I think if I lived in any city other than St. Louis I could "adopt" the hometown team as my "second" team and root for that team as well as the Cubs...alas, rooting for the cards would be like rooting for Clubber Lang in Rocky...you hate them...they aren't nice...you dont' like their fans...but deep down you know they're probably going to do all the right things to kick your arse. (I hope arse fits within the family board guidelines) I've lived in NY over a decade and still haven't come close to such an adoption. That's depressing...but not unexpected.

    Don't watch -- you'll be better off in the end. What he said. I stopped watching at the all star break last season. My last game to watch this season? Well I'll watch Maddux pitch one more time, and then....we'll see. Look at it this way Is_pedro, if you watch Cubs games earlier in the day you would still lose sleep and probably have nightmares anyway, wouldn't you? Find something else to do. Take up knitting for example. Then at least you would have a scarf for next winter. :lol: I could try to say that I'm not going to watch them, but the truth is that I'm going to continue to watch them no matter what I say. Its like a drug isn't it. I could give up caffine, I could give up beer...I just can't give up the Cubs...(and sadly...they make me want for the other two...its a vicious cycle really)

    A man with a plan. If we all did this, fairly quickly we could run up enough to buy the Cubs, then implement Goony's strategy of buying the team and changing from within....

    7 of hte next 9 games start at 8:40 central or later...not sure if I can (or want) to loose sleep just to watch more of this.
  11. moorecg
    What about revisting the "shawon-o-meter" but with pitch counts instead. (I'm not a Chicgo native...and only go to about 2 games a year at wrigley, so this is just an idea, not something I could ever hope to implement)... Have a double sided board....one with our pitch count...one with the opposing teams...or just keep track of the number of 2 or fewer pitch at bats...something to draw attention to this fact. Bruce...could you write an article? Maybe leave a few "complimentary" copies scattered accross the Cubs locker room and in Hendry's suite? Anything...please.
  12. moorecg
    I can't accept that....there must be another way...
  13. moorecg
    I knew that. Just typed it wrong. I want them both to roll.
  14. moorecg
    As if to emphasize my point...this was both Capuano and Duke's first complete game shutout...its not like we're facing Bob Gibson and Cy Young.
  15. moorecg
    We are very close to being on the recieving end of the 2nd complete game shutout in 3 days. Assuming a pretty efficient inning (which is an easy assumption with our offense) this one will also happen with the opposing starter throwing less than 100 pitches. Exactly how much longer must we put up with this? I like Sarge as a person...he gave my son a baseball at a Cubs/Cards game last year...but how on earth can a team continue on this path of offensive futility? This is the 3rd or 4th year in a row where we see dramatically fewer pitches than our opposition...Our hitters record well more than our fare share of one pitch outs...Neifi made a 2 pitch out as I typed this.... Why isn't there more uproar for the Batting Coache's proverbial head? this is pathetic.
  16. moorecg
    I don't care who...but we need to find somone who can hit lefthanders. And we need to do it now.
  17. moorecg
    Are you serious? The Cubs had a decent run diferential that took a dip after being outscored by 23 runs on Saturday and Sunday. It's just an anomoly with so few games played. It will even out over the course of the season. At the pace of the last 4 games it will take more than a season to even out. :oops: :cry:
  18. moorecg
    Really, how much worse could Glendon have done?
  19. moorecg
    We're on XM 187 today...could a Mod please add that to the post header.
  20. moorecg
    Any word on this today?
  21. moorecg
    Wow...I would have bet a large sum we don't come out of that inning with the lead the way it started.
  22. moorecg
    I'm assuming pitching change...sportsline has hung up
  23. moorecg
    Looks like we got a little help with that swing
  24. moorecg
    St. Louis Loses and we can't score 2 runs against the First Ballot hall of shamer Santos...what happened to our players?
  25. moorecg
    who did you want them to pinch hit with? Well, number one, it would waste a pinch "hitter" (I use that term loosely with our bench, only Hairston do I think could come through), and it would burn a pitcher. If there isn't a better hitter on the bench then a rookie pitcher who has pitched 7 good innings then the Cubs are in bigger trouble than any of us care to imagine. Oh...we can imagine.
