[sunnydoo]

so when you say he was out of options, you're not actually referring to options. Ok...

 

Um, yes. That is the 2nd part of the Option system.

[oldstyle81]

Everyone is screaming for Pierre's and Jones' combined heads yet they are hitting 1/3rd to 1/2 a full point better than ARam.

 

I am just trying to spread the love.

 

too bad whenever jones gets on base, he gets doubled off

[Fred Hornkohl]

Estrada popped out to shortstop

Well, he came up through the Twins system, and they teach guys how to play the game the right way. :roll:

thats a good point. We just need Wendell back to get him straightened i think....

 

ok, that really wasnt funny- sorry.

[cheapseats]

Thom Brenneman just said the Cubs were just on the fringes of the playoff race in 2004. Perhaps he didn't hear about the collapse? :x

[badger1679666666]

White Sox win in extra innings. Check.

Wagner blows Pedro's win for me. Check.

The guy I traded away for Nick Johnson is pitching for a win with 1 ER. Check.

Neifi is on this team for another year. Check.

Jones is on this team for 2 more years. Check.

Rusch is on this team for another year. Check.

Our two stud pitchers have glass arms. Check.

Our other stud pitcher is a mental case. Check.

We have a guy named Bynum with a sub .600 OPS. Check.

Our best hitter gets injured on a freak play. Check.

The Cubs suck donkey balls in general. Check.

Beltran goes 0-5 dropping his average to .240. Check.

 

Where's the razor?

[sunnydoo]

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hudson flied out to left center field

thats worse than what the cubs are pulling right now

[cheapseats]

Now Thom Brenneman is asking if Zambrano is really a good pitcher since he hasn't won 20 games yet.

 

Because wins are the best way to judge how good a pitcher is.

[sunnydoo]

Remember down the highway, not across the byway.

Thom Brenneman is just upset that chip caray and Pat Hughes are better announcers than he is and thats why he didnt get the job

i can't believe I'm still watching this. 9th inning, here we go...

[ToupeeOnFire]

I predict that the Cubs will tease us with a few baserunners in the 9th.

[scs_paradise]

has Z been thrown out of any games this year? It seems grace is implying that when see has gotten knocked around this year is when he's lost his head started throwing at people and gotten thrown out?????

[oldstyle81]

no

[cheapseats]

If Grace were the Cubs manager, he'd tell Z to go score a fat chick.

[sunnydoo]

Thom Brenneman is just upset that chip caray and Pat Hughes are better announcers than he is and thats why he didnt get the job

 

yeah, i am 100% positive thats not it.

 

We need to find another planet for Chip cuz he is way too annoying for this one. I would almost rather hear Joe Jr. make a call of a game.

[JonnyRed]

Right now Z is a really mediocre pitcher

Yep just 4 division title and a WS title.

lol, nice.

 

But dont forget the Raffy rule....no other players wives.
