Cesar Izturis is having quite a season at Dodger Stadium.

He hopes to continue that success as Los Angeles starts a 13-game homestand with the first of three against the Chicago Cubs.

The 25-year-old shortstop has thrived at home this season, hitting .351 (33-for-94) with 15 runs scored in 23 games. Izturis leads the majors with 26 multi-hit efforts overall.

Izturis went 3-for-5 and five different Dodgers drove in a run as Los Angeles posted a 6-3 victory at Arizona on Sunday to complete a 3-3 road trip. Closer Eric Gagne recorded the final out for his third straight save in as many appearances.

``I'm very, very satisfied with what I saw today,'' manager Jim Tracy said. ``I think it's a good ballgame from that standpoint to build on.''

ADVERTISEMENT
Los Angeles received some bad news when center fielder Milton Bradley sprained his right ring finger in his final at-bat. X-rays were negative, but Tracy said he didn't know if Bradley would start Monday.

``I can move it around,'' Bradley said, ``but it's just real tender right now.''

Los Angeles has dropped four straight series at home, winning just four of their last 12 at Chavez Ravine.

Chicago is beginning a seven-game road trip as it searches for a season-high fourth straight win. The Cubs posted an 11-6 victory over Colorado on Sunday behind four RBIS apiece from Aramis Ramirez and Jeromy Burnitz.

Ramirez has been hampered by a sore groin and back this season. The third baseman was 7-for-17 as the Cubs took three of four from the Rockies.

``I knew he was going to hit sooner or later,'' Cubs manager Dusty Baker said of Ramirez. ``He's starting to come alive, see the ball better and see better pitches. I'm just glad to see it happening.''

Greg Maddux tries for his first win since May 10 when he starts the Cubs on Monday. Maddux is 0-2 with a 5.49 ERA over his last three outings.

Maddux gave up five runs and eight hits over 7 2-3 innings on Wednesday against Houston in a 5-1 loss. The Cubs have scored a total of six runs during his winless stretch.

``I'll just pitch and see what happens,'' Maddux said. ``I'll get ready for my next start and go from there.''

The four-time NL Cy Young Award winner is 4-5 with a 3.49 ERA in 13 career starts at Dodger Stadium. Maddux is 11-7 with a 2.86 ERA in 29 career starts against Los Angeles.

"Bobert, you are the worst instigator of trouble on Mudcat"


Cubs' effort not half bad

May 30, 2005

BY TONI GINNETTI Staff Reporter

The Cubs spent May chasing the break-even mark. On Sunday, they closed their longest homestand of the season with a booming offensive performance and their third straight victory over the lowly Colorado Rockies to get back to .500.

"But we have to play better than .500,'' said third baseman Aramis Ramirez, whose 3-for-5, four-RBI game included a two-run homer, one of three the Cubs hit in their 11-6 victory. "Our goal is to be in the playoffs, so we've got to get a lot of games over .500.''

Facing the National League West-contending Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres in the next seven days will be different from facing the Houston Astros and Rockies, two of the league's worst teams.

CUBS 11
ROCKIES 6

"But we did what we were supposed to do against some teams that are struggling,'' said Derrek Lee, who continues to be the hottest-hitting Cub and the league's best hitter. His 3-for-4 day boosted his league-leading average to .366 while an RBI in the five-run Cubs sixth boosted his league-best total to 46.

"Home runs are an accident,'' he said of his three singles after back-to-back two-homer days. "I'm happy with the singles.''

Everyone was happy to be 24-24, an even record the team hadn't seen since being 12-12 on May 1. With the Milwaukee Brewers falling Sunday to 24-25, the Cubs moved up to second place in the NL Central, 71/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals.

"You don't focus on the Cardinals,'' said Todd Walker, who hit his first career pinch homer in the seventh. "You can't control what the Cardinals do. Last year showed that. What we need to do is continue to win. I've said if we can stay around .500 and get our [injured] guys back, we can make a push in September.

"I don't think anyone is overly concerned about the Cardinals. We just want to get to the playoffs. The last few years have shown what you can do even if you're the wild card.''

The largest Wrigley Field crowd of the season (40,322) saw the Cubs pound out 15 hits against four Rockies pitchers, the loss going to Marcos Carvajal (0-2). Jeromy Burnitz had the game's biggest blow, a three-run homer (his eighth) to conclude the scoring in the five-run sixth.

The Rockies had 11 hits and scored all six of their runs off starter Sergio Mitre.

"I made some good pitches that got hit and some bad pitches that got crushed,'' Mitre said of giving up home runs to J.D. Closser (first), Luis Gonzalez (third) and Preston Wilson (seventh). Mitre left in the sixth with one out, two men on and a 5-4 lead. Roberto Novoa (1-1) allowed both runners to score but emerged as the winner in the Cubs' comeback.

Joe Borowski, Michael Wuertz and Will Ohman held the Rockies scoreless in the final three innings.

"We're starting fresh,'' manager Dusty Baker said. "Hopefully we can put some distance between us and .500. We have to keep winning series. We needed to get back to .500 before this road trip. Guys are feeling good about themselves, and the offense is swinging the bats pretty good.''

Keeping it up is now the next challenge.

"Getting to .500 was the first big hurdle,'' Walker said. "It feels like you're not having a good season when you're below .500. Now if you jump over it and run off a few wins ... I think we can do it.''

"We have a tough stretch ahead of us, so it was important to get back to .500,'' Lee said. "The West Coast trip is always tough, with the time difference and the long flight. You have to prepare yourself. It was a good homestand [at 6-4] and could have been better.

"If you want to engage in a serious discussion...and I have engaged in many here...just go ahead and say what you want to say! And if someone else responds with abuse...don't get mad, get amused. That's what I do. It works. It does not alter your ability to continue having a serious discussion on that thread if you want to."

Sorry, Little Hawk, but I can't agree with that. It does alter your ability to have a serious discussion with others because even if you don't get diverted, too many others do, and that pretty well poops the whole thing out. Whenever I have ignored the abuse and tried to get on with the subject of the thread, I usually wind up talking to myself.

So it's not just the Resident Smut-Mouth that's the problem. If everyone DID actually ignore the little weasel and continued with the discussion at hand, then it would be fine. But that's not what happens. Joe Offer and others are right when they say not to respond to the troll(s), but experience demonstrates that that is naively idealistic. You can ignore the troll 'til hell freezes over, but if but everybody else IS responding, that pretty well ends the discussion and you may as well shut the computer down, go out to the fridge, and crack open a beer. Or just say "Screw it!" and hunt for another website that's moderated and won't allow this kind of crap, even if it isn't as enjoyable as Mudcat used to be. At least you can have a conversation with like-minded people.

So, excuse me. I'm going to get myself a beer, then come back to the computer and go googling.

See ya. Sometime. Maybe.

By the way, I just noticed this—

"And we routinely delete personal attacks, even if they are directed against Martin Gibson."

But, Joe, that's not what happens. Martin Gibson launches person attacks against just about everyone, some of them any decent person would regard as totally unconscionable, and although a few have been "bleeped" within recent history, the ones that have been let go must number in the hundreds, maybe more. It's been going on for well over a year.

I don't usually bitch much about the way Mudcat is run. Usually I tend to defend you guys when others complain. But I've gotten pretty damned fed up recently. And I'm not alone.

Would you look at that? Two posts in a night after being away for nearly a year.

And, of the five or so threads I've read, three have degenerated into insult matches (involving Martin Gibson), and the others have been complaining about him. I'm sure that some threads are both.

I'll come back in another year and see if the BS section is fun to read again - if we can have discussions where we disagree without being insulted.

(And, moderators: you are doing a great job keeping the forum open to all. Your censorship or lack of it is not the issue.)

I'm absolutely amazed how this thread has received the attention it did. Look at the title, and looked who posted it. It was obviously going to evolve into a quagmire of verbal heated crap. I'm still amazed on how people get wrapped up in it emotionally. If ya don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen. If not, at least throw some pies in faces and make a comedy out of the pathetic drama. I have found that web forums always turn nasty when politics or religion is brought forth. It's damned worse than the real world, and that can be pretty testy in the worse of situtations. It seems too much of this is being posted, and too many emotions flippin' out. Maybe people take themselves too seriously and feel they have to prove themeslves for the poor egos they are lacking in the 'real world'. It doesn't bother me, it just amazes me how thin or thick people can be.

again ...... the bottom line is as LH says ... " What does it matter? Keep smilin'"

trolls and idiots are sort of like drug smuggling. You work to catch some of it, and you KNOW a lot is getting by....and you KNOW you could stop a lot of it, but only with extreme measures.

A couple A-bombs on Afghanistan and Colombia might stop most of the drug traffic, but I doubt that the side effects would be pleasant. And it would just pop up from somewhere else....just as a serious Troll (yeah, MG...that means you) can find a way in.

Max and Jeff have ways to limit a lot of posting by certain people, I'd imagine, but not without causing major disruptions and more trouble than it helps. 'Censorship'...i.e., limited moderating and editing, does get a lot of the worst stuff, but it's hard to follow and it's hard to draw the line clearly.

Defining where argument leaves off and serious insults begin ...and when naughty words constitute 'abuse' and when they are just part of a context ...ain't easy. It's worse than defining 'folk' or figuring out "who started the trouble" in Israel or Ireland.

If it were all up to ME, the 'moderating' would be even more heavy, and regular abusers of the privilege of using this forum would be gone.....I am amazed regularly at the restraint shown by Max and Joe. Those of you who choose to push the limits may yet find your playground has a fence around it and a gate.

It IS possible to argue, debate, compare views and differ without nastiness and anonymous nit-picking. Try it...you might like it!

I have been or record lately as saying Martin and Shambles aren't the problem. It is otherwise decent folks that rise to their bait. MG is laughing his arse off at this moment.

As to the deleted posts, all I will say is that sometimes one, in their anger, becomes similar to that which they seem to detest.

A couple of A bombs in Afghanistan or wherever would not stop the drug trade. The demand of drugs, by people keep it going. We live in an era of cheap thrills and instant gratification. I do beleive there are the ones here who, though they actually whine and complain about the nasty trolling, get off on it. That's why you see so much attention to these kind of threads. They like it! Sorta like watching NASCAR, getting a thrill out of a 10 car pile up, but not admitting they look for it. If you don't like it, just ignore it. Simple. I usually stay away from these 'controversial' threads because it bores me. Better things to do than yadda, yadda on and on about nothing. But here I am, just trying to get a grasp on what is fascinating about negative trolling, when all you have to do is ignore it.

They were purely asking why mg was being given a green light to hurt others. No more and no less. And one by one they were deleted, within seconds, but not fast enough, for some of us did see them.

And for mick to put shambles and mg in the same sentence beggars belief! shambles is not racist, homophobic or down right spiteful. Joe responds to him more than anyone, whereas mick is often to be found in full on spats with mg.

It is absolutely refreshing to me to see that I can no longer claim a double standard. I rejoice in the deleted posts of some of the morons who deserved it.

My hat is off to thye clones who do the best job they can here. This is a pretty good forum to say what you want to say.

bobert, if you want to spend every post ripping this country and government, I guess you are going to have to reralize that there will always be at least one voice telling you that you are full of crap for doing so.

Threads get highjacked because tweed is hard to come by. However, have ya ever noticed that when a tweed pair of pants comes apart that it is no longer tweed and no longer a pair of pants?

See, here is a prime example... MG gets a free pass on accusin' me of sayin' bad stuff against my country??????

Hey, why is it okay fir him to say that???? Is this not a democracy where folks can disagree with their leaders???? I mean, come on, folks.... You want folks like MG tellin' you what to think???? Well, the way I's seein' it is that MG has more power than Mudcat itself????

Like, go ahead and censor folks who are fed up being cussed at and leave the bully feee to do his bullying????

Like, what am I missin' here????

I*f it is true that yesterday the posts of fine Mudcatters, whoes only crime was to say "Hey, I'm tired of one creep controlling this joint".... were indeed censored.... then it's may be time to find another place to hang out...

Personally, I'm gettin' just a little fed up with the right wing gettin' their way all the time...

I love ya, LH. I love ya, Mick... But maybe, just maybe, things have gotten outta hand here and maybe the trolls have indeed taken power...

Hey, I wouldn't mind it if these trools were at least on the progresive side of the equation but they are not... They represent the neocons and the neocon agenda which means eternal war on others and the working people of America...

Like George Bush, the neocon slaesman said, "Yer either with us or against us"... I could make the same statment here in Mudville where neocons are gettin' free passes....

Yeah, if others protests have been censored then this one may be also??? That's outta my control.... All I do know is that this joint ain't as open for free discussion as it was a year ot two ago and that oughtta be alarmin' to anyone who's been 'round here fir awhile...

Well, bobert you continue to show how weak and obsessed you are.

I neither swore nor insulted yet you are completely bent out of shape and I am completely digging it.

You are just trying to incite and it's not going to work. It hasn't yet.

I would say that if you just don't like it, you should just bail.

How about some cheese with all of your stupid whining?

Protests are getting censored the same way I would get censored.

These are great days for Mudcat as far as double standards go.

Deal with it, goon.

Jaysus, Bobert. Think about what you're sayin', buddy. I have personally used the word fuck more than anyone here. True, it has been at a few Nazis types on two other threads, but I didn't get censored or any of that. Sometimes a post will just disappear. The Mudcat is not a Neocon front. It's a forum with volunteers of all political leanings doing what is usually a damn fine job. Hell, you know that as well as I do.

Now we have a Martian Gibbon fan club. martian's mighty protectors.
From bottom dweller to club president in one clean swoop. even the moderators and clones are trying to join. definetly the best yet.
m.g.p.s.Club.

This is great. Keep it up i haven't laughed as much in a while.
Those pm's that were flying in support to martin that he kept mentioning over and over again must have been doozies.Does he pay you retainers or did you all have a meeting by pm and arrange this on mass intervention ...fuck i can hardly write this for laughing.
excellent stuff, childish, but even in a preschool pact kind of way it is amusing.
yes indeed in the words of one of Martian's secret society members " What does it matter? Keep smilin" indeed, no problem

Well, there's the traditional Folk Wisdom:

It's not a good idea to rassle with a hog. He won't know if you win, you get shit all over you, and the dam swine loves it.

To my shame, I don't always follow it, but it's good advice.
