The Iowa Cubs will be in Nashville this week to play the defending Pacific Coast League Champions, the Nashville Sounds. The Cubs and Sounds are both in the...
I am not a fair-weather fan. Rather, the opposite. Cub fan for 50+ years and the "long suffering" is getting to me. I think they are already on life-support...
... That's why everyone and their brother was picking the Brewers to finish second? Maybe they're not quite at that level (I think I had them pegged for third)...
... Don't you think that 2 games is a rather small sample to base your opinons on? When we swept the Cards did that mean we were WS championship bound? No it...
Speaking of small sample sizes to guage how good a player is statistically, I can't believe the ballot is up already. Do you go more by the career numbers, the...
Who is the person who said that Hill had been called up and Rusch was demoted to the pen ? I can't find any info to back that up. [Non-text portions of this...
So we are now 4-5 since DLee went down. Not great but without factoring the intangibles/chemistry of him being missing, of those 5 losses only two games were...
... Here, I have to agree with Tickets. It's one thing to be discouraged about matters which have long-term implications. Even being pessimistic is a rational...
... In theory, IMO, it *should* be soley performance for the current year. If it is based on other criteria, I don't see the logic in playing the game...
... demoted to the pen ? I can't find any info to back that up. ... Here you Go. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-cubsmoves&prov=ap&type=lgns...
... I agree- and given the current climate on the board, I'm not even going to give the obvious response to either observation :) I think the point is that...
I just listened to Pat and Ron discuss Wilson running outside the basepath to avoid being tagged by Rameriz. I don't see a lot of baseball vision so I am no...
90 pitches in 7 1/3 innings. How come this rookie gets it when guys like Wood and Zambrano and to a certain extent Prior, don't get it. Maybe we just at the...
... Just noting some stats re Marshall; only 415 pitches through 28.1 innings (14.7 pitches per inning). That is some tidy work and it appears he is already...
Marshall,Guzman and Hill,could be 3/5th of our starting rotation for the next few years. If you include Zambrano in that group,our starting rotation average...
Did the cubs acquire that prospect in a trade or is he a drafted player? I follow the cubs AAA team and that guy is having a pretty good year. He's pretty good...
It only proves throwing 100 mph isn`t all its cut out to be. But I don`t think Zambrano could throw a finesse pitch if his life depended on it! Debbie ... gets...
The guy is an interesting prospect. Drafted by the cubs in the 2000 draft,had a good year at West Tenn last year while playing SS. Moved to the outfield this...
... <<Nobody is older than I am.>> I know it was about 3 weeks ago when we were talking about how old Julio Franco is, and whether or not there are any major...
Take a little time off here and there are you fall pretty far behind. I just skimmed through about 300 posts and I'm still only up to April 22nd! I've had...
I haven't heard much Dusty-bashing lately. I always leaned on the side of defending him. He used to get bashed for stodgy managing, misuse of pitchers, and...
... guys ... get it. ... hour ... from, ... Of our thirteen victories 10 of thenm were started by Marshall and Maddux. Where would we be without eiter of them...
... to see ... in the ... that'd be nice ... Zambrano has been a huge disapointment and that's an understatment. I thought the way he showed up Murton was very...
... better this ... I've always been highly critical of him but there is a difference between him this year and the last three. I think he adjusted. It looks...
