Heads22 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 19, 2006 -> 11:18 PM) I think he'd be the perfect third outfielder for this team. But this has been argued so much I'm glad you put it in there cause people got mad last time I suggested this. I'd take him in left. And I've always been one of his lesser fans.

I loved how he played, but I felt his defense (or at least his range) was overrated. That and I always thought someone could strike him out if they just pitched him low and away. He was just never my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I always thought someone could strike him out if they just pitched him low and away. He was just never my favorite. He was and will never be the best player in any team. But he had a contagious attitude that far outshined his athletic shortcomings. All that "Grinder Rule #--" crap doesn't apply anymore. The Sox of 2006 resemble more the Yankees of 1998, business-like, apathetic. There is no fire in this team as I could CLEARLY see last year. The HUNGER does not show in their play, and Rowand would not have put up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 You really think Big Hurt used roids? I have a feeling he did not. Why do you stain Hurt's name like that? The general perception is if he had used roids, he'd probably be up there in the Bonds-like zone of home runs. Hurt is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was tempted to start a new thread with this but decided it is not worth it being it's about The Cub. Did you see the page 3 story in sports in usa today on Monday? Wow ... Dusty getting death threats from Cub fans and letters that call him the n word. It really paints Cub fans in a bad light. I'm sure any team's fan base has some sickos capable of this, but cmon. If sports dominate your life so much you'd send the manager of the Cub a letter calling him the n word and threatening him ... well you deserve a cop come knocking on your door. What ever happened to sports being a series of games to escape life's crap? The Cub fan who sent Dusty that letter is a fricking idiot and deserves to be arrested if he threatened Mr. Baker. Mrs. Baker won't even let theiir 7 year old stay to watch the games cause of people yelling cuss words at Dusty. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HUNGER does not show in their play, and Rowand would not have put up with that. Your name makes me think of Chad Gaudin which is strange.... I never questioned the hustle or heart Aaron had. Some fans just have some players that they aren't as big of fans of. ARow was one of those players for me. And it's the pitching. That's the entire difference from last year. We didn't lose anything from Rowand to Anderson on D this year, and the offense doesn't make a difference. We're not winning games that our pitching should. But everyone knows this.

Cowley wrote today that it's a done deal that Garcia and Pods will be gone next year, maybe Uribe. Not a big surprise, but didn't know it was pretty much decided...thought they could keep Big Game and dump Head Case and that mgmt likes Pods more than people on this board.
