Anyone think that we had a steroid problem on this team last year? It was something that just popped into my head after watching Sosa and knowing that he lost 20 pounds coming into this season. Did we have any guys who had a big weight loss during the off season? Could this be a possibility?

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Like I said earlier, i hope Clemens gives Sammy the brushback early. He will own him after that.

Anyone else going to watch?

On a side note, watching this guy pitch the ninth how could he never succeed as a starter? He has 4 great pitches that he seems to be able to spot anywhere in the strike zone he wants to. Any of you west coasters who have seen more of him that I have, what was the deal?

We could always bring back that Kenny Williams guy who played third for us so well

Stone has always been a steadying influnence, the voice of sanity if you will, in the Cubs booth. He is an excellent and knowledgible announcer who has always been surrounded by complete idiots, IMHO. Personally I would LOVE to hear Hawk and Stone as a broadcast team.

Well Joe had two hits last night against a really tough pitcher to hit. His key seems to be swing early in the count. He always seem to have the same pattern where he takes a hittable pitch for strike one, swings at a pitchers pitch for strike two, and then has to go on the defensive for the rest of the AB.

PK has hardly played for a week now... Thomas has started at 1B every game in interleague play. Find a new whipping boy for the offense.

Beauty.

I think my rectum has been damaged by this team

My wife and I pay about $75 mo for both our car and rental insurance, but then again we are old and married

Nice to see us score a run and see some pitches in the first inning. And we got em on, got em over, and got em in!!! 1-0 Sox after half an inning.

How about... Go to Hell?

The Trib made the mention of the similar records of the two teams at this point in each of the respective seasons. Someone else mentioned in a different thread.

Hey guys great thread. I have really enjoyed reading from a guy in our system. Hey Jim thanks for giving a face to the often brutal critizisms that go on here. And to Neal Cotts, Brian West and all of the rest of your "illiterate" (that was hilarious) teammates join the crowd. We would LOVE to hear your stories and feelings as you go through the season. It would offer such an incredible insight that none of us will probably ever have. Thanks again!

I don't believe (and I could be wrong here) that Bullard is referring to the ACTUAL list of prospects, but some of the snide comments that people made about some of the players and rankings.

Great post. I am a big fan of a blend of watching the games and knowledge of stats. For people who critize other players they have never seen on the basis of their numbers this is a great post to read, repeatedly You go Jim!

They have to be a part of the interview process.

What is really sad is that he railroaded Kenny...

What is the official word on Cotts injury? Is this a big deal or more precautionary?

No, your continued hypocricy isn't a mistake -- it's a sickness, and you cannot help yourself. No offense taken, though, as you clearly have issues. And perhaps you should join me in my search for a life, as you are replying right along with me. I'm just sitting here waiting to head out to Dodger Stadium, and I don't have much else to do -- what's your excuse? Guys cmom with the no lives thing. If someone finds enjoyment in posting on these sites, more power to them. Whatever makes ya happy. The whole "get a life" attack is asinine because while the person makes that statement, they are doing the VERY thing they are attacking the other person for doing. Some people... Or all of the above

I hardly ever say things like this, but I hope the Rocket is in a head hunting kind of mood this weekend. Sammy won't be able to hit for months.
