The bar in the NL Central has been raised? How? Where? The only team to improve is the Cubs. Others seem to be going backwards. Guys, this is going to be a...
... WGN- ... I think it could mean less games on the WGN superstation but WGN Chicago will still play them. That doesn't help anyone outside the area though. ...
I really like Pat Hughes. Ron Santo is very emotional, which I love, and there is great chemistry between Santo and Pat Hughes that works really well. But...
What Jim in Indiana says is very true. Who has improved beyond the Cubs? Unfortunately, there was such a distance between the Cardinals and Cubs last year that...
I love Ron Santo as a personality and all but I think he should be replaced in the radio booth. We all know he bleeds Cub blue and wears his emotions on his...
The bar has been raised, you just won't see the difference this year but most likely in 2007 and beyond. You're right that every team in the division has...
I'm sort of fond of Santo (and I think he's on another plane than most of the other guys people seem lump him in with regarding the Hall of Fame: you can make...
... replaced ... emotions on ... no ... offer ... to say it ... Your right that he is no statistical genious but I have fun listening to the games. Those guys...
(You are now entering the black hole zone of the Cubs infield) Platoon is not just the name of a movie, it seems what the Cubs will be doing at Second this...
Of course his hair catches fire once in a while (game piece #3 now), and indeed he is not worlds greatest stat individual, and sure he is a cheerleader, yet: ...
If Santo is teaching the pitchers to hit during spring training, and the Cubs have among the best hitting pitchers in baseball, maybe he should be hired to...
Bob; Hate to disagree with you, but I do big time. There has been so much negativity here it's unreal. No matter what the Cubs do, it's not enough. If we...
Let's start with a reality pill, OK? 1. Derrick Lee hit .309 in September, not .250. 2. John Mabry is a very capable backup at 1B, 3B and all three OF spots. I...
Well, we certainly do disagree. I don't have to resort to hyperbole about Babe Ruth to make the point that you and others have in fact been making altogether...
I included this whole back and forth just to make a point of order, Mr. Waters, pardon me if this is incorrect. a) the interplay between Ron Santo and Pat...
We moderate new members to sort out the Cardinal fans. And I take people off moderation not only as they turn out to be OK, but also as I have time. --CF4L ......
... also as I ... time ... Yes, moderators sure beat the alternative of unmoderated groups that have "Peo's gone wild members" that has ruined some groups....
I sir, can give you ample evidence of thus, if, you will give me a few seconds to explain a few basic facts: Ron Santo is not the hitting coach, he merely, at...
To me, that is just another example of how inept the coaching staff of the Cubs is. The pitchers come to Santo for hitting tips rather than the actual hitting...
My opinion: Santo isn't gonna be around forever. Celebrate the fact that we have a more interesting, listenable, and downright fun broadcast team than 90% of...
The FOX/ESPN guys aren't too good either. Thankfully, Sammy's gone and there's been a few other playoffs since the infamous one. They actually have to find...
... Yes appreciate him while you have him. Its a testamant to his spirit and will to live that he is still alive. Diabetes is a slow and tortuous death. The...

... I give the front office props for trying to see if they can *make* a closer out of Dempster rather than insisting on spending too much money on the Trevor...
