Bowen DFA

 

Well 1 worthless bat gone. Jesus that Barret trade was horrible!

 

Pretty much a DFA.

 

At least Hendry can admit he's wrong.

 

Hopefully Kyler Burke turns into something useful.

 

:lol:

 

He has what? one hit since he joined our system?

 

10 for his last 21 :D

He was something like 0 for his first 22 since joining the Cubs and now 10 for his last 21.

 

The Barrett trade so far has been nothing for nothing. The Padres got a catcher who has an OPS under .600 since he's been there and an OBP of .264 with defensive problems. The Cubs biggest acquisition was a roster spot, which allowed Soto to come up and hopefully be the starter, along with a possible backup catcher in 2008 and a prospect that may pan out.

He's actually been pretty hot as of late.

 

Isn't he like 10 for his last 20 at bats or something near that number/

Sit down, chump!

[Flames24Rulz]

Three pitch K to start it off.

[Omar]

3 pitches, 3 strikes to Dave Roberts. 1 down.

[CubmanPi]

Sweet - good start Rich.

[inari]

Hey Jimbo, see that guy Omar Vizquel? Don't trade for him.

[dew1679666265]

Erin Andrews looking really hot as usual. :)

 

Attractive, but highly overrated.

I can buy overrated since EVERYONE talks about her, but highly overrated might be stretching it. She's too attractive to be highly overrated.

 

I wouldn't even say overrated - she's absolutely gorgeous.

[Omar]

Popout... Hey! someone caught that.

[erik316wttn]

Hey Jimbo, see that guy Omar Vizquel? Don't trade for him.

 

Should I make a "but he can catch the ball?" joke?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

nah

[Ender]

Trade was an addition by subtraction. Wish we had Barrett's bat but can't complain when the Cubs are winning.

 

If Barrett had gone to the AL or to a bad team it would be addition by subtraction. In this case it sure seems like subtraction alone since he went to a playoff calibre team who might be taking the wild card out of the picture.

[Omar]

1-2-3 and the inning is over!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's a good start for Hill.

[soccer10k]

Good start for Rich.

nah

 

Aw! It'd be almost as funny as a towel drill joke!

 

Anyways, nice inning for Rich.

And he's not helping them out much at all.

What are you talking about? Barrett's been awful in SD for one thing, and for another, we're closer to the wild card than the NL Central lead right now.

In completely unrelated news...I got my Cowboys season tickets in the mail today. :cheer:

[inari]

That's a nice way to get things started. He really smoked that ball.

[erik316wttn]

Sori leads off with a hit.

[CubmanPi]

gameday audio broadcasting commercials again. If I ever get a chance to punch out Jake the neighborhood guy from Old Style, I'll be all over it like your mom on a twinkie.

Nice! I'm currently looking to get my hands on some Titans/Colts in Nashville tickets.

If you ever get a chance to wastch the games called by Kuiper and Krukow, you would think he was the greatest ss of all time.....even at his age today.

 

Absolutely horrible broadcasters.

[Flames24Rulz]

6-4-3 DP...
