July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 09:17 AM) But he sucks in the field. Totally Agree. I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw Dubois in the Majors again. Sure the dude can occasionally hit a bomb, but he makes every play in left difficult.
July 8, 200520 yr The Cubs now have two Patterson's in the minors. I saw his brother play for the Peoria Chiefs last night and if I remember correctly he whiffed 3 times.
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Nokona @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) This will not do anything for Patterson. The poor kid has less than an ounce of confidence in the first place, and now they're sending him to Iowa? He should just retire from the Cubs organization. I know he sucks but the talent is there no doubt. It's unfortunate that the next Griffey turned out to be the next Cade McNown. Wait, who am I kidding. Cuck the Fubs. Patterson has TONS of confidence, but it's misplaced confidence. He refuses to adjust to anything because he thinks his "5 tools" are enough to get him by. He lacks the brains to maximize his physical skills. His defense is over-rated, he has a pus arm and he refuses to work pitch counts to his advantage. He's too stubborn to listen to major-league coaches, so why should anyone think he'll listen to a coach in Iowa? This may turn out to be a very good move for the Cubs with the only drawback being that they lower Korey's trade value. Hairston might actually relax now that he'll have a set position, they got that DH/PH Dubois out of the picture ( he can't play the outfield to save his life ), and they get a chance to give a couple young guys a look.
July 8, 200520 yr Better than Rowand!? HA!!!! Hell, I don't even know if he's better than <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have in my hand right now, and Lyle Mouton autographed Baseball... I kid you not
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) I have in my hand right now, and Lyle Mouton autographed Baseball... I kid you not Pfftt.. I got one better. I have one signed by both him and his cousin.
July 8, 200520 yr Pfftt.. I got one better. I have one signed by both him and his cousin. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Theres someone elses autograph on here too I dont know who it is, im trying to take a picture but it keeps flashing over the autograph
July 8, 200520 yr Theres someone elses autograph on here too I dont know who it is, im trying to take a picture but it keeps flashing over the autograph <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It looks like it says Norbert for the first name, i cant tell the other part
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 08:23 AM) Id he played consistently, he could easily hit .280 and hit 30+ homers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought only Cubs fans made ridiculous claims like these. :headshake Just how "easy" do you think it is to hit 30 homers at the major league level? Dubois is just another Patterson. Look at the number of K's between the two.
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) It looks like it says Norbert for the first name, i cant tell the other part Norberto Martin perhaps..? Played 2nd base for the Brewers. Did you get Lyle to sign it when he was with them..?
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Norberto Martin perhaps..? Played 2nd base for the Brewers. Did you get Lyle to sign it when he was with them..? PACO MARTIN!!! He was the man!! His autograph is about as neat as you can possibly write "norberto martin" And stefff..I also own both a Lyle and James Mouton Autograph but not on the same ball Once again I'm pissed and I dont know why!!!

Paco was crazy.. that's for damn sure. He writes like he's taking a test. LOL... I don't even know how I got the ball. One night after some crazy drinking no doubt.. LMAO.
July 8, 200520 yr This is the beginning of the end for the Cubs. I wonder if it's the beginning of the end for Dusty Baker....
July 8, 200520 yr Wish I could see that Cub fan who told me Patterson was better than Rowand right now. Hey buddy, EAT s***! Muahahhahhahhahahh I love it.
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Balance @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) This is the beginning of the end for the Cubs. I wonder if it's the beginning of the end for Dusty Baker.... Nope.
July 8, 200520 yr QUOTE(Balance @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) This is the beginning of the end for the Cubs. I wonder if it's the beginning of the end for Dusty Baker.... I hope not. Dusty Baker is great for Chicago.
July 8, 200520 yr Norberto Martin perhaps..? Played 2nd base for the Brewers. Did you get Lyle to sign it when he was with them..? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Looking at it now it could be Martin, im not sure... my brother got it signed years ago, not like 10 or so but Im not sure exactly when.. I know it was at Comisky (before it was US Cellular) it definatly says Norbert though
July 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) Corey Patterson will never play for the Cubs again....book it. How about he is going to get called up later this season.
July 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) How about he is going to get called up later this season. He was probally implying that he is gonna get traded.
July 9, 200520 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) He was probally implying that he is gonna get traded. ^^^^ I don't think they'll let him fester in Iowa. He'll be moved.
July 11, 200520 yr Someone will grab him. .839 OPS in 2003, .771 OPS in 2004 -- can steal bases pretty well, 80% success rate over his career. Those OPS' are really good for such a good defensive CF'er, too. If the Sox weren't so stacked, I'd love to see them grab one of the two unhappy NL Central OFers, Patterson or Kearns. Not so much Patterson, moreso Kearns.
