TCR West Coast Get Together

One more time....

The Cubs make their lone trip of the season to Dodger Stadium next week and I was wondering who might be up for a little venture to Chavez Ravine for the Monday night game, April 17th; 7:10pm PST? The tentative pitching matchup is Greg Maddux versus Brett Tomko. Enjoy a little baseball, beverage and world famous "Dodger Dogs", (apparently world famous for their sucktitude). Email me if you're interested, we'll figure out the ticket situation once we know how many people are going. Those who think it's a good idea to leave before the 9th inning need not apply....

What no one wants to talk about Derrek Lee's new 5 year $65 million deal?

Submitted by dave on Mon, 04/10/2006 - 04:21 pm

Rob...I will let you know soon for sure, but I would love to be there!

actually true dodger die-hards arrive middle of the 3rd and leave after the 7th inning stretch.

What'd I say the other day in parachat? ---- 5 years - $65 mil. No Trade Clause ---- When manny was dooing his (as Mike calls it) nanny nanny boo-boo that Hendry is "dropping the ball" on not signing Lee.

i want all the people walking around humming the "aramis will be mvp" or "aramis will be a candidate for mvp" tune to do me a favor and shut the hell up please, unless you collectively want to be the direct reason his femur snaps in half this year, thank you. i love the guy, but hey, theres a slight chance all your UNFOUNDED PRAISE (whats this all friggin based on anyway? the whole "he's that magical age" bullshit?) is getting to him via his cousin or agent or cleaning lady if he isnt reading it himself and hes feeling unnecessary pressure? and dont ask me why, but i see aram becoming like manny someday. no real reasoning (kind of like all the mvp year talk) but i just got a feeling. as opposed to carlos who is just plain eccentric, i can see aram unexplainedly pulling out a bologna sandwich at 3rd one day and looking confused when the ump confiscates it. call me crazy, but i think he'll hit like manny (great hitter year-in year-out but not the mvp) and act like him too (draw a face on his glove which he talks to between outs).

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 04/10/2006 - 04:45 pm

the praise for Aramis comes from the fact that he hits for good power and strikes out a very relatively small amount for that power. It's the mark of the true great hitters.... His defense isn't very good though, so I doubt he'd ever win the MVP, but who knows. Put up enough offense and the defense will be forgotten.

Big John Stud: "When manny was dooing his (as Mike calls it) nanny nanny boo-boo that Hendry is "dropping the ball" on not signing Lee." Funny, if I call someone out like this I get blasted, but classless BIG JOHN STUD does and nothing said...CAN YOU SAY DOUBLE STANDARD!!! Oh yeah, good job hendry, now go reup with Baker and then things will be all good.

Rob G: If you plan to go to Petco on May 7, I'll be there!

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 04/10/2006 - 04:26 pm

Haven't decided if I'm going to Petco, a little strapped for funds this year, but if I do, I'll put out another feeler to see if anyone else is interested. Chances are you'll have to entertain my twin daughters though....

LOL I'm guessing they're probably not 18.

[i]"Funny, if I call someone out like this I get blasted, but classless BIG JOHN STUD does and nothing said...CAN YOU SAY DOUBLE STANDARD!!!"[/i] I apologize to the moderators for this, but I'm going to be extremely blunt and a bit long winded. Manny, at some point, you just gotta grow up... You just have to get over your victim mentality and the need to prove yourself right over and over again. Manny, I'm sure you are a wonderful person off this site....but I speak for myself when I say I'm absolutely exhausted of your act. I can deal with it on threads...I just ignore it (well, not now)...but on chats I am burnt out, and I get the sense many others are too. It's really like dealing with the 10 year old tattle tale at school who always is running to the teacher to tell who is picking on him. It is really time you start thinking about someone else besides yourself here. Your need to point out and engage every little comment made about you, and try to tell the moderators how to do their job, and try to tell others who they should cold and who they shouldn't is truly nothing more than selfishness. It's the #1 thing I learned in grammar school...the more I responded to the teasers and the bully's the more they picked on me. You had a lot of people come get your back 2 years ago in here...including me. But after watching you make posts like I just quoted literrally 50 times or so...you completely and totally lost me. We aren't out to get you Manny...but when you make it all more difficult for the rest of us to converse here...you are going hear it from people. This site isn't about you, the moderators aren't here for the sole purpose of protecting you. and it certainly isn't about me either. It's about all of us...it's about the community. And calling out every little comment and asking for moderators to play the role of a 3rd grade teacher, brings the whole board down. Keep up your "IN DUSTY WE TRUSTY" if you wish...that's part of your persona...but posts like this here...need to end, immediately. I'm not a super regular here who tosses things around with you often...so I'm hoping this may actually serve to shake you a little...and if it doesn't...oh well. I won't bother calling things like this out again.

Submitted by Andrew on Tue, 04/11/2006 - 04:47 am

Oh yeah, good job hendry, now go reup with Baker and then things will be all good. Wait a sec, Manny, you want Baker extended before the Cubs make the playoffs? What happened to your wait-and-see approach? Are your true colors shining forth?

Submitted by Andrew on Tue, 04/11/2006 - 04:06 pm

Manny, in all seriousness (unlike my previous post), listen to Blockhead. I couldn't have said it better myself. I hope you read it even if you don't respond.

Rob...I can't make it. I have to pick my wife up at the airport that night. :(

Tell her to take a cab..... Come on the Cubs are in town once a year.... just kidding....we'll have a drink for you.

I saw a game at Chavez a few years ago when in town. Houston was in town and Jose Lima was pitching. It was good seeing Houston get beat. Great place to watch a game. Hot dogs were nothing special though, but maybe I wasn't drunk enough.

Me Trusty in Dusty too. Im going to order me some of those tea tree toothpicks today. Dusty isnt so bad. He is just misunderstood.

Hopefully he'll be back on the 30th. I have tix to that game.

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT EAT THE HOT DOGS AT DODGER STADIUM. PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS ;)

THere used to be a place in Irvine called "Chicago Chicago Pizza" that was owned by a guy from Arlington Heights. He had fantastic deep dish and stuffed pizza, Vienna Beef hotdogs and beef sandwiches, and the Cubs, Sox, Bears and Hawks on tv all the time. And Old Style on tap. Great place. Check it out.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
