The Cubs last won the WS in 1908, when the idea of Wrigley Field was hooted down at Planning Commission meetings for fear of the detrimental effect it would have on horse-and-buggy traffic on the North Side. Since then, the Cubs have curled up on the October stage in 1910, 1918, 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938, 1945, 1984, 1989 and 1998. Idle thought: How tragic is your franchise when you lose the World Series the same year the stock market crash starts the Depression?

Really though, he could have been wearing a Hawaiain shirt and had bloodshot eyes or something....the damn Cards can't even take a good mug shot.

I bet if Pinella got busted he would have had dried puke on his bare chest and lipstick marks all over his face.

I'll settle for 1 W in series ....anything else is gravy.

I still don't understand what kind of shots Wellemeyer took in the ass to turn into a half-decent pitcher.

If that mug shot had exposed the lower half of La Ruzza,(BTW, Is he French?) you'd see exactly what kind of shot in the ass he was getting.

I can't be orignal. I suck at smack talk. Frazod is the expert at that.

It's Dave Duncan. He takes washed up, picked out of the MLB refuse cast offs and makes them good again. He's been doing it for 26 years. He's the best pitching coach ever.

He teaches them how to pitch and not worry about strikeouts. No walks, make them hit ground balls. Fixs their mechanical issues etc. They leave the Cardinals and get big time FA money and within a year they suck again.

maybe an organization with a real pitching coach. And a team that can give run support.

Because God knows the team with the best run differential in baseball and the #2 team ERA in the NL is struggling on both of those fronts.

I believe he was dissing the Royals not the Cubbies.

Duncan is like a Soviet "re-education" camp. He helps them learn that strikeouts are fascist and that the 2-seam fastball is more democratic. It also helps that he has a guy like Yadi Molina calling the game for him, and a good defense behind him so that they can maximize the "pitch to contact" philosophy. Wellemeyer always had great natural stuff, he was just wasted in the Royals organization because...well, they couldn't develop a pound of rice in a Cambodian floodplain.
