Good point asshat. His first pitches sucked. It seems like he threw a few decent fastballs or sliders, but I was worried after the Scrub second baseman led off the ninth by belting that fastball to rf for a double. Pretend we actually can get back in the race. Is Koch good enough to get it together and close out games for us? If we are going to make a run at the mediocre Twins and Royals we do need a closer, correcto?

That is a great line by Stone. I like the way Hawk and DJ will sort of rip on the Sox when we suck. Do the Cubs announcers ever do that? I'm not flaming just curious since I get precious few games on TV in KC area. Does Santo ever rip the Cubs on the radio? p.s. Nice job by Crede belting the s*** out of the ball today.

Just win, baby is my philosophy. We win; Cubs lose. To be greedy, however, when we were up 7-0 with the bases loaded and one out in I believe the 4th inning, I wanted to go for the kill but Farnsworth effectively got out of it and we wouldn't threaten again. You can't have everything, but wouldn't it have been nice had Josh slashed a two-run single to make it 9-0? We wouldn't have looked back at 9-0. But I am not complaining. It doesn't matter. We win. We didn't blow it and the guys have all night to celebrate and come back tomorrow and try for 3 in a row.

It sure would be nice to sweep them, especially considering we haven't swept anybody in months, have we?

I agree nice throw by Josh. He still had to complete the deal. And nice job throwing Miller out at the plate when the Cubs got that three spot off Mark B. Nice win, though what's up with Koch? He seems like he is really unreliable.

Wow cwsox, thanks for the clarification. Amazing how they now hate Sosa.

No need to be negative with us killing the cubs today, but the fact we can't bunt really should in itself cost JM his job. Isn't that what spring training is for? Jimenez should be forced to bunt all BP the next week to make up for that s***ass bunt the other day.

And Rowand even got 3 hits. Nice.

Let Alomar go. He's too old.

He definitely looks like a top prospect. Our pitching has been pretty good. Who'd a thunk it?

Olivo is the man. He's almost up to .250 which isn't bad for a young guy.

Did Cub fans really boo Sosa? If so(sa) that is a sad state of affairs unless it's all about the cork thing. I mean it's getting out of hand fans turning on guys who they've wildly cheered in the past. Nobody booed him when he hit 66 homers.

I do like the way Hawk pulled no punches two games ago when he blasted Jimenez for not being able to bunt and nobody on our team (besides garland) being able to bunt. Nice win today vs. the Scrubs. Jon G is a keeper and we finally hit the s*** out of the ball and took advantage of Cub walks and bad plays afield. Nice win.

Nice job winning with 5 hits. How did we do it? Just think if we could hit and field the ball, how good we'd be. Our pitching isn't too bad.

It'd be interesting to hear from Hawk or one of the baseball writers what the players think of Jiminez. If he is lazy and a bad influence that would affect my opinion of him. I do agree he doesn't deserve to be ripped too much for his hitting. His average has been around .290 to .300 all year, right?

Thank God the Royals are beating up on the Twinks, pushing our division leaders even closer to our mediocrity. I don't think we have the hitting to contend, but at least we're still breathing.

Very good points by you two, I sort of thought that too, killa, but I figured I had to praise KW since he did bring him here. Loaiza is the polar opposite of Ritchie.

Roman said: "I dont care too much for Buehrle and Im truly disappointed at his failure this year, but I wont root for him to lose 20 and I hope he can recover..." Wow, Roman I'm proud of ya. That wasn't too mean a comment about MB. Now don't ya feel much better? I feel better about you. Doesn't it feel better to not hate MB so much?

You know what will be sad is if our fans boo him. I hope they don't boo. KW is the main problem and Reinsdork with Manuel a distant third.

Loaiza is doing so well. I guess KW deserves some credit for this one, though I still detest KW.

We are a dysfunctional team, that is for sure. 3 in the first then squat til late.

Sorry Roman, but that's it. You have no credibility anymore. I can't take any more of your mark B posts. He is not a piece of crap; he has not said he wants to play for St. Looie. Why don't you pick on somebody like Jose V who is hitting .230 or Paulie or somebody. Mark B is a f***ing good pitcher. Case closed.

I can't quite figure out Roman. I think he's trying to defend his love of Frank, but I don't understand his hatred of Mark B. I mean Roman, tell us what you think of Harris, Crede, Konerko, Rowand, Olivo, Jose V., Tom Gordon, Rick White, Koch, also. My guess is you hate all of them cause they've pretty much all been as bad as Mark B.

It's amazing we can get 3 in the first, then jack squat. But you are right, hitting coaches don't matter. We ought to apologize and bring Ward, back, cause it's the guys holding the lumber, not the coaches. Our players are the ones who can't hit.

Roman if we all say we love and respect Big Hurt and respect you for sticking by him, will you get off Mark B? Mark B is a damn good baseball player.
