Quotes of the Year
Somebody should keep track of all the crazy quotes Cubs personnel make throughout the season, and at the end of the year we can vote on the goofiest one.
For example, Zambrano's quote, on the front page here, is pretty funny. I've thought that Zambrano's problems this season have been because he's thinking too much, but apparently astronomy isn't what he's focusing on.
Another one that killed me was a story on the Cubs homepage awhile back about Jones' slump. He said something to the effect of, "I know what they're trying to do. They're trying to walk me, but I won't let them." And then he later said it would help if he'd draw some walks. Geez, put two and two together there, Jacque.
And if someone really got into it, I'm sure we could have enough from Dusty that he could have his own division in such a vote. I don't know, if it sounds like fun, maybe someone can take it up. It may help if someone who keeps track of various Chicago media stayed on top of it.

If someone wants to do that in this diary...
I replaced the Z quote today, but I'm sure someone can find it and post it here.
JDay, please retitle this diary to something related to quotes so it is easy to find. Thanks.

I know I often confuse Dusty with Sun Tzu
Anyway...in Friday's Tribune Baker said he was irritated that Barrett revealed his injury, thus "telling war secrets" to opposing teams. "I showed him a couple of books I have about strategy and war and different things. He said, 'Oh, I have that book.' And I said, 'Well, maybe you need to read it.'"
According to the Trib, Barrett was later asked if Baker had schooled him on war strategy. "Yeah, we went through a little of that. We've got 'em fooled now."

I enjoyed
"There's no question about his stuff out on the mound, it's just a question of whether he can consistently throw strikes."
Ummm.....yeah. That's an important one.

Strikes are entirely overrated
