  3. QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 07:09 AM) Cooper. He's earned it. I can't believe no one has thought of him for the spot. He's been brought up before. And no f***ing way. Coop dealing with media after a few losing streaks? Oy.. I get the feeling that would be like Ozzie minus the entertainment value.

  4. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) Hearing about the kids work ethic and attention span, banking on large improvement is dicey. Those kind of guys can hit a wall very easily. That is precisely what I meant. I never saw any real promise in Corey Patterson or Felix Pie, just "hope." I do see "promise" in Castro, yet I have little hope. I guess we'll see what his ceiling is when he hits the wall. Or something like that.
  5. QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 11:17 PM) I think so. In listening to it from far away, I thought it was annoying, loud, uncomfortable radio. That's exactly how it felt tuning in to the conversation part way through. I think Spiegel was mostly right, but he's still not polished in the art of on-air debate (or beat-downs). Also, the way Cowley ended the interview sounded very amateur. Can't remember exactly, but it was something to the effect of "get your own sources and get back to me." Sorta like hearing an Internet debate played out on the radio.
  6. QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 22, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) Yeah, the two alleged saviors which Cub fans couldn't shut up about. More like the organization. When an organization banks on a player of course they're going to be talked about. Personally, I don't know anyone who really believed either was worth a hamburgers. I do remember some fluff here about how Patterson would blossom after leaving the Cubs' spotlight... I do agree, however, that Castro will never fulfill expectations. I could see him maxing out at, say, Alexei Ramírez?
  7. QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) 2007 was when the Cubs fans got really started to get ramped up because it was coming up to the century mark of their WS drought and nobody wanted to see it go to triple digits. Everyone was sure that it was "their year". Then they got swept in the playoffs. 2008 was the century mark and again everyone was sure that it was "their year" Then they got swept in the playoffs. They've been sliding backwards ever since and Cubs fans are finally starting to realize that it's not all that lovable to be a loser. I disagree. 2003 is when "everyone" got ramped up...and that didn't really happen till they took out ATL. '07 and '08 were mirages. In neither of those years was there even a shred of belief they could go anywhere in the playoffs. Unless, of course, you're referencing the a$$clown brigade (santo fans). You know, the ones who embrace the term "lovable losers."
  8. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) There are very few hitters in the Cubs lineup that can beat you, and Castro is probably the main one, I'd rather avoid him if possible, I don't care which inning it is. Is he that well established??! At most he's having a nice first full year, yet ppl are treating like him like he's Albert Pujols (or Aramis when he was on 'roids ). This is downright hilarious. 2nd and 3rd, two out, three run lead, and the sox are relegated to pitching around Starlin Castro. LOL! If this continues, fine, whatever, then Castro's "for real." But to this point he's just been a good player.
  9. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) Starlin Castro is not a dude you pitch around right now. Gavin threw an awful pitch, that is that. Especially not in the third inning of a game. Bingo. Two outs, too.
  10. QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:56 PM) The problem is that Pierre is actually a good defensive outfielder, he's just been horrible at judging high drifting fly balls. This has been a weakness of his. He's pretty much lost the Sox two games on his own because of his f***-ups though. Bizarre. I wonder if there might there be a health issue? Seems so basic, but often vision or other (balance, perception) problems are overlooked.
  11. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) Anyone who gives him credit for the hot streaks, really should give him blame for the cold ones. Anyone who gives the players credit for the hot streaks, really should blame the players for the cold ones. Yeah, works both ways. Feel free to insert "Kenny" in there & see what happens.
  12. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) I'm going on Saturday night, and I'm treating it like the World Series. LOL. Sounds like a Wrigley bleachers fan.

  14. Report: White Sox plan to claim Manny Ramirez August 24, 2010 2:05 PM By Mark Gonzales The White Sox plan to file a waiver claim on Manny Ramirez with the intention of acquiring him, according to a report by Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal. After unsuccessfully pursuing Ramirez before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, White Sox general manager Ken Williams said he had no qualms about tinkering with the chemistry of the team, saying that an impact hitter would be welcomed by the Sox players as they attempt to overtake Minnesota for the American League Central title. But Ramirez burned bridges in his final days in Boston in 2008 that led to his trade to the Dodgers, and he served a 50-game suspension last year for violating Major League Baseball's police on performance enhancing drugs. It also remains to be seen how tolerant the Sox would be toward Ramirez's long dreadlocks, since several players were ordered to cut their hair in 2006 after it was deemed too long by chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. Ramirez is due about $4.25 million for the rest of the year. The Dodgers haven't yet put Ramirez on waivers but plan to do so as early as Tuesday afternoon, according to Rosenthal.
