June 7, 200520 yr During the pre-game tonight, Dusty explained that teams, like the Blue Jays, who don't play the Cubs much at all have an advantage... They can watch the Cubs on TV. "We're on WGN, Fox, Comcast all the time...They can watch us and prepare" "We'd have to get a sports package, or something, to see other teams..." Oh Dusty.... :headshake Edited June 7, 200520 yr by RibbieRubarb
June 7, 200520 yr Wow, thats f***ing pathetic...people that make over a mil a year cant afford mlb extra innings. And besides that, shouldnt the Cubs have all the gametape they could ever possibly want on anybody? f*** you Dusty, go cry me a f***ing river.
June 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) If this is true then the Cubs have the worst advanced scouting in Baseball. Well...you know the Tribune company...if they don't have to pay to get MLB Extra Innings in the locker rooms at Wrigley...they won't.
June 7, 200520 yr But guys lets not forget....All of the Blue Jays fans are such avid Cubs watchers just because they play 3 games against them once every 3 years. We all know that all of their players don't have anything better to do so they sit at home and watch the Cubs games no matter what!
June 7, 200520 yr Obviously Reed Johnson watched Koronka(or whatever the f*** his name is) pitch in San Diego cause he just hit a 3 run bomb 4-0 Blue Jays.

Too expensive for that little Tribune Co. - MLBTV? Far too complex for Dusty I'm sure. - Tapes? Well if you can't figure out or afford a satellite dish, maybe a VCR is too tough too? - Dozens and dozens of scouts? Apparently inept, they do work for the Cubs. - Doing your job as manager? Nah, whining's easier. - "Or something?" That sounds like a plan to me,
June 7, 200520 yr Author Here is Dusty's exact quote in the Suntimes: ''They'll feel that because they can't use a big bat at DH, but we're at a disadvantage because we're on television every day. We're on when most teams are getting to the ballpark. They see us all the time. We rarely get to see American League games, so we're both at some disadvantage.'' He did go on to say during the pregame that they need to get a sports package to watch AL games... :headshake Edited June 7, 200520 yr by RibbieRubarb
June 7, 200520 yr This is the weakest excuse for losing of all time. If teams are watching the Cubs in the afternoon preparing for them, then couldn't the Cubs watch their opponents at night when their game is over?
June 8, 200520 yr Blue Jays take another one from those cocksuckers. Edited June 8, 200520 yr by Jordan4life_2005

June 8, 200520 yr I say to Dusty, explain the Red Sox and Yankees of the last, oh, 10 or so years? I believe they have won quite a bit while being on TV quite a bit.
June 8, 200520 yr so what he is saying he wants no audience to watch his team play on TV which would mean less attention and more attention towards the southside, sounds good to me
June 8, 200520 yr By the way, the trib is blaming last nights loss on a cat running on the field. The curse of the black and white cat.
