Figured it had something to do with lovability.

 

Nice sidearm action over to 1B by Hill on that Roxhead play.

[cheapseats]

Contreras just lost the no-hitter with 2 outs in the 6th.

Rockies announcers criticize Aramis for going on a hot streak when the Cubs are out of contention.

 

Sigh.

 

I miss Len and Bob.

[cheapseats]

Pagan doubles to left center.

Pagan scores on a single to center by John Mabry.

Come on, we all know that Aramis failed to deliver when Lee went down. Plus he doesn't hustle. Get rid of the bum and bring on David Bell.

I think Hendry will go out and get Adam Kennedy (you can never have enough 2nd basemen) and move him to 3rd.

If Hendry were to ever see this site, that would be the only post he sees and take it to heart. So be careful!

49ers 3 (got the ball in Bear territory after a Mark Bradley fumble)

Bears 0

I don't think Hendry knows how to read.

Touché

[E.J.]

Cook has thrown 60 pitches through 4 and 2/3 innings. Way to make him work Cobs. :roll:

[cheapseats]

Michael Barrett doubles. Rockies announcers praise Barrett, and note that he would be a 5th or 6th hitter in a quality lineup.

[ToupeeOnFire]

My predicition for the offseason:

 

Dusty gets an extension.

Hendry overspends on Juan Pierre.

Aramis tests the free agent waters and signs a big money contract.

Hendry makes a big splash and signs Carlos Lee to play LF.

Hendry signs David Bell to replace Aramis.

Hendry signs a veteran starter.

The media fawns over Hendry's stellar off-season moves.

 

Outcome: the loss of Aramis nullifies Carlos Lee's contribution. David Bell hits worse than Matt Murton would have in LF, thus the net effect of Lee/Bell vs. Murton/Aramis is a negative. The Cubs are still among the bottom feeders in run scored. The veteran pitcher acquired is basically a mediocore innings eater who combines with the improved performance of some of the young pitchers to give the Cubs a moderate improvement in runs allowed. The Cubs still finish the season with a sizeable run defecit, but finish the season 6-7 games below .500. Jim Hendry pronounces the season a success.

Isn't one of the rockies' announcers former Cub, George Frazier?

"I want Frazier!"

 

I always thought Frazier was a decent reliever. I have no idea if that's the same guy though.

I dunno. MLB.TV always starts the feed after the announcers introduce themselves. It's annoying.

[ToupeeOnFire]

10-0 49ers on a fumbled snap returned for a TD.

 

Thank goodness it is preseason.

[abuck1220]

good thing pagan was playing in the third row of the left field bleachers there.

Hill's command is not as sharp tonight as it was in his previous two outings.
