Wow...I didn't know there was a trophy for being in first place on May 23rd. Let us know how that works out for them on October 1st.
The Tiger's are for real....because of Jim Leyland.
Will the very young and talented staff hold up? Maybe.
They would run away with the NL Least!

Just thought it interesting to see the standings--not awarding any trophy at this time---is it possible that Ozzie the Great will be outmanaged by the Truly experienced Leyland--be interesting to see who presses the right buttons this year
Boy speaking of pushing buttons--it does not take much to get White Sox fans going--LMAO

I wonder if Ozzie was still pushing buttons last night after getting tossed? Leyland taking 6 years off between jobs...have things changed since the last time he managed? Ask Joe Gibbs how hard it is to come back.
By the way Leyland's son Patrick is a terrific catcher, should be in 8th grade now.

Lets not forget those Cubbies who deserve a trophy for being in 3rd place!!!!!(from the bottom). "Wait til Next Year Day" closing in soon"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Dusty

Gibbs was 6-10 after an 11 year layoff. Even he said that his ways/tactics and coaching style were out of date. That's why he brought in a truck load of new coaches the next season. He's heading in the right direction now.
Did I hear someone say Cubbies?????
Why don't the CUBS have a web-site?
Because they can't string together 3 w's!

Gibbs is done.
Leyland is not.
Ozzie and Jim are the best 2 manager's in baseball.
Willie is still trying to learn what's up with the inferior NL!

It doesn't take much to get a chuckle out of you, I guess.

Used to get a kick out of all the "Leyland the great" comments in the 80's & 90's. Gene Lamont & Terry Bevington have better lifetime winning percentages!
It's all about the players & how they perform - period.

denisr400...please refrain from calling Bevington a manager.Clown would be more accurate.
Through the years,he and Lamont had better teams.
Leyland is great, has a WS championship to his credit and is capable of doing it all over again with the tiger's. Every manager needs players that CAN win.

Soxnole,
Bevington may have been a clown, but the real circus is happening at Clark & Addison.
To have come so close just a few years ago and looking at the mess that's here now is just too much to bear for this lifelong Cub fan. A AAA team that's also last in runs scored makes things even worse. There's a saying that things are never as bad as they appear, but in this case I beg to differ.

Something is happening here, but I don't know what it is!....do you?, Mr. rosy?
I'm beginning to feel bad for you fellow's.
By comparison, one look at the AAA Charlotte franchise would make it even worse...prospect's abound!
Hang in there rosy...I'll buy the beer @ DuPage/IBC.
Great time to be a Sox fan...

Soxnole,
The only "hanging in there" I'm ready to do involves a rope, a strong tree limb and a fast horse!
See ya' down the road and you can buy me a hot dog and a coke.

Hanging hot line # for deserving cub fans.

Call now and see a real WINNER before you buy the rope and head to the nearest forest!

It's impossible to get to the Cell from where I am. Besides, aren't you Sox fans worried that the former Cub fans, new Sox fans may bring all their baggage with them?
Latest embarassment at Clark & Addison.
Atlanta batters glaldy accept 9 walks.
Cub batters stubbornly accept 1 walk.
The details of the loss really don't matter.
Go Phillies, Beat the Mets.

Seen some real tough stretches for Chicago teams over the years but this is getting ridiculous.
Organization appears content with current players & staff - maybe 60 year clubhouse attendant Yosh Kowano needs to go? Something to stir the pot - anything.

Just bring money and spend it at the cell. Well worth it to see real MLB action in Chicago.
Hurry, because we have very few nose bleed (saved for cub fans) seats left.

itsrosy, why the Phillies? You can always come over to the dark side. Of course, that blue might clash with all of the sea of red. LOL!
Heard Bernie Miklas (St. Louis Post) discussing that he heard rumors that the Redbirds are going to seek a certain Phillies OF. If that happened... BTW, isn't it worth coming over to the darkside just to watch that certain firstbaseman get after it?

CoachB,
That's a tough one. I've never had any animosity towards the Redbirds, although LaRussa isnt' my cup of tea. But when you've been a Cub fan forever, and consider the Cards the elite team in the division, asking me to come over and root for them might be asking too much.
The Phillies are a different story. I get to root agains the Mets, which is easy for me, and the Phillies are a nice club. I'm a NL guy and I think for this season, "until the Cubs get things straightened out", I can root for the Phillies without feeling much angst. That in itself is a good thing for me.
My son and I will be in the left field bleachers tonight hoping Maddux can keep the ball in the yard against the Reds.

itsrosy, I understand. My Daughter's God Parents are die hard Cubs fans from the Windy City. When we asked them to sponsor my Daughter at her Baptism and be her God Parents, I knew one thing for sure. If they could remain so diehard true to those Cubs, regardless of what my kid did, they'd be there for her. THEY HAVE AND CONTINUE TO BE TREMENDOUS GOD PARENTS! LOL! It does make for some interesting get-togethers come do dog days of late August/September.
