babybearhater, if you really believe what you say then it's probably your hatred of the Cubs talking more than common sense. I hate the Cubs too but I can at least assess their team logically. You say Wood has never won more than 14 games in a season? Have you seen the types of teams he's been on and how little run support he's received? On a team with a halfway decent offense he could easily win close to 20 games. Like jackie said, when he's on he's almost unhittable. And Maddux was still able to win 16 games on a Cubs team that was offensively challenged for the most part this past year. Prior and Zambrano are pure studs, no doubt about it. The Cubs have an awesome rotation, much better than the Sox. I hate it but it's the truth.

Best rotation in baseball? It pains me to say it but with a top 4 of Prior, Zambrano, Wood and Maddux, the Cubs have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. In fact, I might put them as the #1 rotation. Even with the injuries to their pitching last year they were still able to insert pitchers (like Glendon Rusch) who did a helluva job. The Cubs pitchers, 1-5, gave them a very good chance to win every single day. Of course that could never happen but how awesome a feeling would it be if every day we threw a pitcher out there that we knew gave us an above average chance to win? Getting RJ would be a nice start for the Sox........

Showalter was right, Ozzie questioned him and was proven wrong.

Um...isn't that the kind of statement that's made about OUR attendance and we get pissed? I wouldn't be making fun of any other team's fans when ours don't show up unless it's half price night or fireworks night or some other great promotion. But any other weeknight or weekday and we're lucky to draw 12,000.

What'shisname didn't stick with Paulie for 3 months. Paul rode the bench quite a bit. The problem was that Daubach sucked too so Paulie was able to get more at-bats than he would have if Daubach had stepped up.

Jerry Manuel used that tactic with Keith Foulke in 2000 and Foulke was untouchable that year. That might not be a bad plan.

If the Cubs make it to the World Series then the Sox may as well up and move because if the Sox are an afterthought in this town now, they'll be non-existent then.

If we are so damned pathetic, why are you hanging out with a bunch of Sox fans? Because he (or she) is a Sox fan like the rest of us. I'm a diehard Sox fan but I completely agree with sox-r-us. Sox fans are truly horrible in supporting their team. When the Sox went to the playoffs in 2000, they were still lucky to draw 20,000 on a weeknight in September when they were getting close to clinching the division. Same thing happened last year. When was the last time we heard any free agent, any player for that matter, express desire to play for the Sox? Meanwhile, with the Cubs putting together a team that should be competitive for quite a few years, the Wrigley Field mystique, Dusty Baker, the fan support...you're going to see a lot more big names who want to play for the Cubs. It sucks but it's true.

Well, the article doesn't say that Tejada is interested in the Sox...only that the Sox are interested in him if his price drops. Since Maggs doesn't seem to want to stick around for a little less money, I wouldn't mind trading him for a top notch pitcher and then signing Tejada. I doubt that'll happen, though.

If the Sox clinched the division at home they would have acted the same way and we fans would have loved every single minute of it. They won and deserve to celebrate like that....people need to stop trying to find something wrong with everything associated with the Cubs. Now that being said, I do hope and pray that they're knocked out in 3 games.

Is PK going to live in Chicago year-round now? That'd be pretty cool. I figured most players go off to AZ where they can golf all winter. I remember reading that Paul lived in Scottsdale and loved to golf all the time.

I'm with ya cwsox. I've always been a big supporter of Paulie's and I'm glad he's turned it around. Just like I'm glad that Mark Buehrle got his year going in the right direction because he was pretty bad for awhile there, too. Ncorgbl, you say "Paulie sucks plain and simple" and you also think Colon sucks. Are you even a Sox fan? Are you even a baseball fan? Because one would think that you don't know a whole lot about baseball by looking at those statements.

Excellent, excellent outing by Bartolo. I just wonder if that was good enough for Ncorgbl. He probably thought Colon "the tub o goo" showed up again.

Sure, Ncorg has the right to post whatever he wants but then be ready for some of us to use our right to tell him he's a moron for posting the same exact thing every 5 days. It goes both ways.

Yes, we all have players we dislike and comment about it. But did you see the title of this thread? Corg has made the same stupid, moronic statement 24 times. That is why Roman told him to f*** off and I wholeheartedly agree. Everyone here is open to discussion, but find a different topic already. Colon keeps proving him wrong time after time anyhow. I think most people here are getting really sick of this topic. The best thing to do is probably to not even respond, and maybe the little 10 year old will go play outside with the other kids or something.
