Jas, a friend of mine is a SF fan and he was very happy when Baker left the Giants because of how, in my friend's opinion, Baker mishandled the pitching staff, especially in the playoffs --Interesting, I'm sure this SF fan is also pissed at the Giants' new skipper. The bottom line is if your team doesn't win it all, there's always some place to find fault with the skipper.

Boy, you are right. If we lost like that's good gosh would I be suffering. I never thought of that. Baseball is sure as hell a funny game. Who'd a thunk it after it was 3-1???

I'd almost have rather seen the jinx end. If we make the playoffs, won't we continue to be hexed, also??

IF Cotts posts on here I forever like the guy. Does he really read this board?

Good post. Glad to see we have some decent players coming up. What do you guys and girls think of Miles? Can he play or is he a stiff?

I am thinking our team is destined to always suck. If we get rid of Maggs, Konerko and Lee as suggested, who knows what our lineup will be like? With our history of acquiring stiffs like Ritchie, Clayton, et. all and the fact our roster apparently has to be revamped because of money, we're doomed. I'm still trying to figure out how the Cubs are making the World Series when we kicked their ass and have a better team on paper.

Rowand isn't that stupid. No way. That one sounds like an urban legend. Don't believe that one, folks. Again nobody is that stupid.

A homer porch might be cool. Go for it. Glad they are trying to improve the park.

If anybody is doubting Maggs, you are expecting him to be God revisited. The guy had the fourth or fifth best BA in the league. He had 99 ribbies and a s***load of homers.

I love Spat, but this is crap. How many big leaguers are "out for themselves?" Every team has them. Sammy's ego hasn't hurt the Dubs any. If JM said it, fine, but it's all crap.

This would be a good story for the media to get quotes from Dork and KW, etc. You make great points! I want to hear them say whether we can afford to keep Maggs.

i am not happy after receiving a joke from cub fan ripping sox fans.

that is so cool they post here. which name is mr. cotts?

How bad was he as a Sox? I thought he bashed quite a few homers.

"Maggs is not worth the money he is payed" --Talk about taking for granted what we have here. Maggs had an awesome awesome year and is one of the top players in the f***ing league. Pls show Maggs some respect.

I really do understand economic stuff. But again .... Magglio belongs in a Sox uniform, period. I just wish Dork would sell the team. We're never going to make the playoffs/Series with the attitude of signing studs for one year like Colon then letting them go, etc.

Don't forget, he played for our Sox, too. I love Santo. That interview he did with Mike shannon I heard one night had me captivated for 40 minutes. His stories about getting drunk with Drysdale and his disease were unreal.

I really don't want to see maggs playing for any other team. Yes I understand all the economic realities, etc. But Maggs is a f***ing star. Why do we have to trade him?

I grew up in Chicago, but have moved away for many years. For some reason I want the Cubs to win for the sake of the city. I would like to see the hex end. But I have gotten no joy out of them winning, of course. I have many friends violently opposed to this. They are rooting wildly against the Cubs, but I tend to think it's good for the city if they win. Is everybody on here adamantly against the Cubs? I don't follow their team at all, but I am not against the idea of the Cubs winning it.

I want Dusty Baker. What a joke. The Cubs are no good and they are right there. Thanks, JM for nothing. p.s. Of those two choices I'll take Ozz.

Didn't Foulke pitch 3 or 4 innings in the first game of the series? What was that all about?

We kept saying that we had a team built for the postseason. Would we have suffered the same fate as the Twins vs. NY? Does anybody remember our rotation and how it would have set up for the postseason? What do you think? Would we have beaten NY or gotten clubbed like the Twins? The Twins were awfully hot and still sucked vs. NY.

El Rockin, that is an amazing, amazing story. That would be a good column for a Trib writer some offseason on a slow day. That is amazing Stanky would write you so many times. Amazing!!

I give the mayor credit. In USA Today I get in KC he said, "I am a White Sox fan." I mean he said that then said he the Cubs had good fans. Folks da mayor was sending us a message. Don't turn on him. We Sox fans are too smart for that. He was saying, I love the White Sox. We all know the guy has to show up and support the City of Chicago. But he was letting us know he's a Sox fan thru and thru. Read between the lines folks, it was in USA Today.

We're doomed to lose Colon cause apparently he's become one of these guys teams must have. Teams means the Yanks or Phils or Bosox or one of the ones who will overspend. That's another reason I wanted to win it this year so badly. We lose Colon. That really is gonna be a major loss unless one of our younguns turns into Pryor.
