7/16 CUBS (Hill) vs. Giants (Lincecum), 6:05 PM CT WCIU/ESPN

WTF? BBTN says the Cubs sent Sean Marshall for Kendall. This better be WRONG

[inari]

Um...Ravech just said the Kendall deal was for Marshall....that's bunk right?

 

Not true.

[cheapseats]

What a great win....

 

Can we quit the massive overreactions to every little error or run now??

 

No.

 

I figured as much...:P

 

FWIW, the "massive overreaction" was to the Kendall signing, Lou calling for Derosa to sac bunt, etc.

 

Misplays happen. Stupid premeditated moves are not so easily excused.

[Andy]

Contacted by phone early Monday evening, A's general manager Billy Beane confirmed the deal but would not reveal the name of the player being acquired in exchange for Kendall. MLB.com has learned that the player is a Minor League left-handed pitcher.

Uhh...

[sweetpeteman]

I wanted Sutcliffe as color commentator in 2005 instead of Brenly.

 

Nevermind.

 

LOL!! I was in the same camp... Nevermind for me also.

 

 

 

To paraphrase him:

 

 

This is the same team that lost 96 games last year, all that changed is the attitude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He forgot the addition of a few key players...

Yeah, except the only 2 starters left from last year are DLee and Aramis.

 

Sutcliff is an idiot.

Sutcliff is an idiot.

 

And Lee was out for most of the year.

 

But mostly, the team is winning because they have a new attitude!

It's even sadder that Sutcliffe was part of the Cubs' spring training coaching staff and doesn't even know that the team is different than last year.

I keep expecting the Cubs to come back down to earth sometime soon and to start losing games like this just a little more often. It never happens. This team is really putting something together.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I like Sutcliffe as a person, but man is he an awful announcer

[Iceblink]

Now to watch the Brewers hopefully blow their lead.

Bush is doing his pumpkin impression post 6th inning. Go Snakes!

[abuck1220]

i've heard lots of people say that ravech is the only thing good on bbtn, but he's just as bad as the commentators, in my opinion.

I actually hate him more than the commentators

[DurbanJer]

OK, so I'm at the bar watching the game. The stupid bar played music instead of sound, but what do you want in DC? So anyway, as soon as Aram comes up, Sweet Child of Mine starts playing. I got goosebumps. Game ends to Beautiful Day by U2.

 

DESTINY BABY!

[98navigator]

FYI, BBTN is disseminating false info. Cubs.com has the Kendal story.

 

 

The Cubs shuffled catchers Monday, acquiring catcher Jason Kendall from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for catcher Rob Bowen and Minor League pitcher Jerry Blevins.

Alright this constant Marshall talk has gotten me a little worried....someone prove it wrong please?

 

Edit: Thanks 98

[Carlos Zambrano]

On Baseball tonight Karl Ravech said Sean Marshall?

rotoworld is also reporting what cubs.com says; blevins not marshall.

 

marshall was the lhp billy wanted, but jimbo said nuh huh, you'll get blevins, dude, and you'll LIKE it.

He's wrong. I'm going with Cubs.com and other inhouse Cubs people (Pat & Ron).

Yeah....way to go Hendry....you got him.... :roll:

 

Since when has a trade with Oakland ever turned out well for the other team?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it. This team has found something special. Everyone here still says games are over when they aren't, but this team and most fans don't believe that, and neither do I.

 

This is the winning post for the game thread lottery, winning the Scott Servais autographed card. Badger, if you'd please PM me your address, I'll get it mailed to you.

 

If you do not wish to claim your prize, just let me know and I'll put it back in the prize reserve.

[Carlos Zambrano]

Haha, Scott Servais.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Haha, Scott Servais.

 

Ironically, catchers were a theme tonight.
