Well Womack is a "depends on who you read" situation as some of the Chicago papers have reported it close but ESPN and others have reported that its not close....
Sorry but I forgot to mention the reports that indicate that the Cubs have spoken to Milwaukee about Dan Kolb (From GM Melvin's mouth) and the Cubs also picked...
not to mention Kolb lives not to far from Peoria, IL so he would be closer to home also if he signed with us. I think he only blew a couple saves out of about...
dempster is no closer. He is a set-up type guy. ... From: E. George Mucher III To: DiehardCubsFans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 2:18 AM ...
Let's not forget Borowski. He has a great chance to heal and get strong. I thought he was a good closer. A heart attack type of guy, but he did get the job...
Matt, A couple of questions for you, and then an observation. Why are you hoping that the Cubs are not close with Womack? Is it because you think last year's...
The big key word there is IF he throws strikes. He might possess the potential, but do you really want to go into a season with no tested closer? Also, what...
I am just telling you what one of the rumors is. They are talking about the Cubs maybe trying him there. He has some good stuff though- and I really don't...
New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi injected himself with human growth hormone in 2003 and also used steroids for at least three seasons, according to his...
Fans didn't take the Thanksgiving weekend off. Here's the next round of e-mails: Why are pitchers hurt so often these days? With all the training programs and...

They were talking on the WSCR this morning, and Terry Boers made the statement that Bud Selig let this happen by feeding the idea that the big hitters would...
Well since Giambi got the steroids from Bonds' trainer I would say there is a good chance Barry used them...MLB is to blame for not acting quickly and banning...
I don't see how this makes the outcomes of the games questionable at all, really. Whatever happened in the game happened, regardless of whether or not the...
Gang; This is my column for the Dec. 3 issue of the Pilot News in Plymouth, Indiana. Feedback is welcome. I have always loved baseball. Well, love may not be a...
... Well Womack has a career OBP of .319. That is plain awful. His OBP last season (his career best) .349. That number is good but it is less then .25 points...
i agree. He was out because of injury. Lets give him a shot. ... From: "tom imbordino" <northlake911@...> To: <DiehardCubsFans@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
I don't want another season to ride on "lets give him a shot" again, it didn't work out too well last year. I say- lets get a good proven closer in here for...
i have to agree with you there. Hawkins was somebody we couldn't depend on last year. Let's get a proven CLOSER we can count on. ... From: E. George Mucher...
No- how someone is pitched to, say Bonds for example, has a HUGE effect on the outcome. If it is the bottom of the 9th up by one or two, and pitching to Bonds,...
I just read the remaining portion of your post, and in my honest opinion it just got ridiculous. How can you say that it is "perfectly natural"? So if I could...
I am perfectly happy with Hawkins in relief- that is where he excelled in Minnesota, and where he did well with us too. But he does not do the closer thing...
The fact is that a record of 61 homers in a season that was alive for 30 some years was broken with the help of Steroids and Bonds who will pass Ruth and Aaron...
I am one of those who believes "Barry was great with or without steroids",but here is my deal. I will judge him a heck of a lot different, if it is proved...
Well back in '98 was he even a factor in the homerun race between Sosa and McGuire? I don't remember anyone considering him for breaking the single season...
George, It is late and I am going to bed, but you are right he was not contending for the HR title back in 98, because he had like 34 or 37 HR's that year....
There's a new twist to the ongoing investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, known as BALCO, with Giants outfielder Barry Bonds reportedly...
Hey George- try reading my post again, slowly this time, and responding to what I actually say in there as opposed to what you think I said. If you still...
Jason Giambi might have taken his final swing for the New York Yankees. His reported testimony that he used steroids might lead the Yankees to terminate his...
Well i've been reading thru the interesting posts about the steriod bombs just dropped in the last week against Giambi and last night Bonds. Some people still...
