... When Todd Wellemeyer was up several years ago I wrote his name down on the all-star ballot. Anyone else remember his rookie start? Extra innings (was it...
right now even as i type i am listening to the Mariners/Angels game!!!! we activated our XM SkyFi2 today!!!! oh yeah this is the first time since we have lived...
... <<What about Jason Dubois leads you to believe he has such a mediocre future?>> Good question. I think it's the fact that he's a 26 year old rookie, and...
Back to the world of stats. Although the flavor this year seems familiar, the recipe is different. I looked up stats on espn.com and found that the Cubs rank...
I like to look at WHIP as a pitching stat to evaluate closers. If they're allowing lots of baserunners (hits and/or walks) but getting their saves, then...
The latest in the saga of Kerry Wood leaves me thinking. I've been the first to rush to his defense that he really is the ace of the staff. . . until now....
... more ... *************************************** I would have bet my last dollar against someone before the start if they had told me the Cubs team would...
If you recall, a couple of years ago I had the whole group come down on me for suggesting that we trade Wood for a top-notch third baseman. On one hand, the...
To say Duboise should have been here earlier makes no sense at all and to assume that in some way it determines how he will play is just ludicrous. Some people...
The consensus on Dubois has always been that he's an average talent. With the exception of 2002, the numbers you site hardly are those of a player "on fire."...
Steve Stone has mentioned several times that Kerry will always have injuries unless he does something about his mechanics. Is Wood ever going to listen? Kerry...

I know this might be an extreme case but take a look a Clint Barmes from the Rockies untill last year in AAA he never had any poetential according the "scouts"...
I know it is fairly easy, but I don't see much hope for the 2005 Cubs. Mediocre hitting, a starting rotation that is not performing well, and an awful bullpen....
I feel exactly the same way. The 98 season was before the Tommy John surgery so I don't think it was a fluke. Ever since the surgery he's been about 5 mph...
Nothing good in those numbers? WOW. I hardly call those numbers average. He'll hit 30 hr and 100 rbi's and flirt with .300 BA consistantly if he's given the...
-Has any member of this group ever suggested that maybe the cubs should had traded Kerry? My father took alot of heat from many friends and members of his own...
I thought the cubs farm system was suppose to be loaded with great arms? I sure didnt see any on display last week when my father and i attended the Iowa vs...
I hope you're right. I just see no reason to count on it. --CF4L ... --Bob Waters __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of...

I couldn't agree with you more! "It feels good when I'm not throwing, and it doesn't feel good when I'm throwing", he said. Kerry's words, which doesn't...
... ******************************************* I don't count on any prospect as a guaranteed. But I would like to see Dubois get more playing time. Lets face...
Realistically, though, the Cubs will have to do more than play .500 and put together a few hot streaks. The way Atlanta and Florida are playing, the Cubs are ...
Well another depressing one run loss! On top of that being swept by the hated Brew Crew. Still I like the way the club stayed in the games. But the frustration...
