    As my kids said a few years back, takes one to know one I agree we need to give Robbie until the end of July then start complaining if he isn't an improvement over Jimenez. Remember who to judge him against. I don't think it is fair to judge him against himself 5-6 years ago. What did we have and what do we have now. See, I'm starting to feel better already.
  2. On the pitching staff, since Mark has already turned around, I'm guessing that Colon is stepping up next. He's got to get in to position for the next contract. On the field I'm thinking Alomar. This is like the track I get 1A and 1B, they are linked as a betting entry Actually I'm pulling for Lee. From what I can see from far away he has one of the best attitudes on the team and I'm hoping it catches on.
  3. I started to add Kenny and Jerry to the mix but decided against it. Am I missing your favorite disappointment? Is it too hard to pick just one?

    If PK comes around he will have some nice bookends for his slump the 2002 and 2003 ASG. Jerry's here for this season. We'll get another arm in trade for someone on our 40 man only if we get in the 3 or 4 games down and the Twins are not showing signs of life.
  5. In today's Sex Education class we are going to discuss defective genes and mutations. I call this lecture the Creation of a Cub fan. Now we start with this post to a baseball fan site . . .
  6. I was hoping everyone would get the joke. I'll take Carl Everett. We should ahve picked a AL and NL.
  7. Go all the way, it is always better to beg forgiveness that ask permission.
  8. I checked http://www.snopes.com my favorite place to debunk urban legends and this one didn't seem to be on there.
  9. "He feels the guys can do it without him," Gary Sweeney said. "I hope they remember him and put his name on the state championship trophy." Oh sure, you bail on the team right before the playoffs and they're going to be certain to add your name? Well maybe, but I imagine that as happy as the guys are for him, at least a couple gave him a high one :fyou Too bad the Iowa season is like that. We played in cold wet weather in Illinois and I thought Wisconsin did as well. I recall some exhibition games against Kenosha or Racine. I hope he pans out. Is the college scholarship for if he get's cut or can he try and do both? Anyone know how those things work? I imagine the club throws them in knowing .003% of the guys may actually use it.
  10. Straight A student, Notre Dame? Baseball isn't his first career objective. I'll bet he's planning on four years and having options after graduation. Good for him.
  11. Thomas, Alomar, Almomar, Everette, Colon, etc. which one of these guys really needs a manager? Toss rocks all you want but players who give a s*** make the front office look good not the other way around. I'm not the biggest fan of our manager or front office but looking at this team on paper and no way should it be 5 games under .500 at the break. KW job was to put players on the field that could win this division. I can't believe anyone would argue he failed at that. Look in the dugout. Jerry is pushing buttons faster than grandma at the nickle slots. Times a wasting and he doesn't want to sit still. By hey let's pencil in the same basic lineup for two weeks straight and see what happens. Make a decision on your best lineup and let it run. Let the guys know what the rotation is. Example: Frank you're the first baseman. You got it 5 days a week, your DHing one and resting one if the schedule gets packed. PK you're going to have to prove yourself one day a week and occassional PHing. No time to babysit. If we are out of it in September you'll have plenty of AB to save your major league career. Koch you get to close the 7th inning. Good luck. Bottom line Jerry; you've seen more combination with this team than you need. Pick one and live or die with it. This ain't the NL. We let the players play in the AL. No double moves with the pitcher. Pretend your Phil Jackson, just role the f***ing ball out there and get out of the way. Talk nice to Olivo, Lee and Crede, they're learning. I'm tired of blaming the guys who never sweat. With apologies to Estaban this team is sucking big time. Struggling must be the most contagious thing on the planet. :puke Jerry, Please put your head in your ass over the All-Star break, we'll let you know when to pull it out.
  12. And if the Twins and Sox continue to mail in the effort KC will have the honor of being swept in the first round.
  13. That would make a great song. At least they could f***ing entertain us with a record.
  14. The Mariners, Yankees, or BoSox will thank him as he comes off the field. Or if he upholds the first half traditions the NL will look sharp on the double play.

    Smiley

    Too bad we don;t have stats on smiley use but as we seem to have sucked more than won I'm willing to bet it's or :fyou Of course we are generous with the and
  16. And that pretty much sums up the season
  17. Who has Frank pissed off in the MLB front office? I'm glad for Maggs but this is almost like the Fridge getting a TD instead of Payton. Frank deserved the chance and he's been passed over twice. At elast they should have to follow the 32nd man voting. Damn it's for the fans.
  18. Funny you mention sports marketing, a couple of people suggested I pay a visit to our new hockey team in town. Independant league. Wish is paid about triple to meet my needs.
  19. Hey we won a game, I'm back. Actually I'm busy job hunting. Anyone need a Sales and Marketing guy. 20+ years experience with about half as a sales manager. Willing to relocate.
  20. With mine the screen never changes. I then exit out and come back and bingo 3-5 posts. All in all for the price of admission, I won't complain.
  21. 3 fricking runs vs. Detroit. I thought that would suck for 1 game.
