I know you Cubbie fans got a a little thread going and we(who have won 10 WS since you have even been to one) have our own thread but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to talk smack about the this weekends series

Its time for a Cubs/Cardinals bench clearning brawl anyway. Its been too long.

In the words of Maverick, the Cubs lineup is a "target rich environment".

It was Mike Claiborne of KTRS, not Bernie. My bad.

You can't hit Edmonds and you want to wait until the later innings. Maybe send Franklin in there to plunk a guy. We won't miss him for a few games. No need to head hunt. Just plunk him in the thigh.

I bet the umpries warn them before the game. Its a nationally televised game. MLB doesn't want a bench clearing brawl on national TV.

Especially if we are getting our ass's handed to us we had better respond. This pussification of America stops now. Long live Gibby!

Sportscenter,CNN,NFL Network etc. it's still media hype,hell even La Russa said as much in that quote on the previous page.

La Russa is quoted as saying, “Everyone flips the bat. Why do you want to stir up stuff like this? He’s been a good player his whole career and he had a good day. I didn't notice… that’s just the way the game is played today.”

People were complaining about it long before it was on Sportscenter, trust me.

LaRussa is just proving again that he's a pussy who doesn't "play that game".

I'm sue you guys don't know but Tony Larussa is old school but not old school in plunking guys and bench clearning brawls. His teams rarley retaliate. It's just his style. I would never expect anything to come from him but the players after seeing how its playing in the national media may take it upon theirselfs unless Tony forbids them to throw at someone.

Baseball brawls are usually the lamest things ever. Someone gets hit in the legs or shoulder after a home run, He charges the mound. A couple of wild haymakers are thrown that land about .05% of the time and then everyone piles on the two combatants to stop further bloodshed.

And it's a good thing too because Big Zambrano would WTFP the entire Cardinals roster by himself.

Well, maybe for the exception of Pujols, I hear roids block pain.

Noone gets a chance to wail like Nolan Ryan did.

But if they were allowed Pujols would put him in a headlock ala Nolan Ryan and wail on him. Have you ever saw him in person? The dude is large.

Unless you're a Cub farmhand, in which case you attempt to murder someone in the dugout and instead hospitalize a fan.

I was in the bleechers last time I saw the Cards at wrigley. That combined with my intoxication didn't really help me see anyone. I did ,however, attend the Cubs last home game in '07 vs the Pirates. I sat 6 rows behind home plate. Zambrano pitched, and the guy is a complete monster. The Chiefs could use him as a guard...No Kidding.

On a side note, it was awsome sitting that close. I could actually hear the ball wizzing through the air when he pitched.

I would love a brawl today. But if you're gonna go after Edmonds, you do it in the first at-bat, shoulda been done yesterday. You don't retaliate when it's convenient for you, if you're gonna make a statement, you make the damn statement.

Another plus to a brawl would be the inside corner would be gone the entire day. And if Z-Pack throws inside maybe he'll get bounced too.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-09-2008, 02:50 PM

So far Skip has owned Zambrano, who has owned Wellemeyer.
