Trick or Treat

Submitted by Dr. Joseph Hecht on

On this morning's WSCR-AM, The Score sports talk show, hosts Mike Mulligan and Brian Hanley asked for input on what the Cub players were handing out for Halloween as trick and treaters knocked on their door. Some of the obvious treats were:

Derrick Lee's house was handing out double plays

Carlos Zambrano was handing out Gatorade

Ted Lilly was giving out tickets to NLDS game #4

Jim Hendry was shoveling out donuts

The Cub infielders were passing out Butterfingers...

I know our readers can apple polish this bit up; I just ask to please hold the razor blades.

Lou was handing out blank lineup cards - except Fonzie was still in the Lead - off position. Trick or treat!

Submitted by tbone on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 10:31 pm

Lou handed out little wrapped up bags of Cubbie Swagger but when the kids got home and opened them, there was nothing inside.

mannytrillo was handing out dusty baker playing cards. chad was handing out mullet wigs. va phil was handing out minor leaguers. silent towel was handing out infield rakes. transmission was handing out lightning bolts. real neal was handing out cliff notes of The Wealth of Nations. TLFC was handing out Ted Lilly bobble heads. crunch was handing out seedlings. mikec was handing out arguments. navigator was handing out "How to be a jackass" books. yours truly was handing out copies of the communist manifesto.

Aha, except autobiographies are written by people about themselves. So now dave and navigator are the same person?? Those schizophrenic arguments must get really tiring at times.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sat, 11/01/2008 - 11:08 am

That doesn't preclude 'The Navigator' from buying up all the copies. If it were his autobiography, it would be called 'The High Life with Howard Hughes' or something.

DC used to hand out haikus. Not for a few years now.

I think you mean 'the percentage of people that go to the main article' - I am sure that many of them don't read it. Not a dig, just saying that you go to a web page, glance it quickly to confirm that it doesn't have what you're looking for, then hit 'back' and try the next Google guess.

we get a pretty consistent traffic flow, about 50% are direct hits (people loading us up from their bookmarks or typing in the URL). While I certainly don't know the exact number that actually read every article in its entirety, I do know it's a lot more than the 15-50 people who regularly contribute to our comments. While there are certainly some comment lurkers that just read the comments and never post, it's still a small percentage of total overall readership...very small. And none of that even includes those who just read the RSS feed who currently don't get the comments at all.

I read a lot of blogs, a lot of websites (25-100 semi-regular basis), I read the comments on maybe 3 or 4 of them and contribute to about 2 of them. Now I'm not just basing my above assumption on that, it's also based on all the emails I get of people telling me to put all of Phil's and Dr. Hecht's info in posts instead of comments.

Parachat was handing out gay witchcraft tips and suggestions.

    That’s just kinda how it works though, for every team. No team plays their best guys all the time. No team is comprising of their best 26 even removing injuries.

    When baseball became a business, like REALLY a business, it became important to keep some of the vets happy, which in turn keeps agents happy and keeps the team with a good reputation among players and agents. No one wants to play for a team that has a bad reputation in the same way no one wants to work for a company that has a bad rep.

    Don’t get me wrong, I hate it too. But there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

    On that topic, I find it silly the Cubs brought up Canario to sit as much as he has. He’s going to get Velazquez’d, and it’s a shame.

    Of course, McKinstry runs circles around $25 million man Javier Baez on that Tigers team. Guess who gets more playing time?

    But I digress…

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Seems like Jed was trying to corner the market on mediocre infielders with last names starting with "M" in acquiring Madrigal, Mastroboney and Zach McKinstry.  

     

    At least he hasn't given any of them a Bote-esque extension.

    AZ Phil:
    Rookie ball (ACL) starts on May 4th. Do yo think Ramon and Rosario (maybe Delgado) stay in Mesa for the month of May, then go to MB if all goes "solid"?
     

  • crunch (view)

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

  • crunch (view)

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.
