  1. soto drilled hard shot to third, it was snagged, bad throw to first allowed derosa to go to third and soto was safe, derosa took wide turn and berkman decided to throw to third, but air mailed it about 20 feet above lamb's head
  2. (a) he's not bad at all (b) it's also the cubs offense
  3. yeah except in the all star game, when he hits a home run off a lights-out closer. Feel free to do that in games that actually matter, Fons.
  4. hooray for pitchers swinging at balls on a 3-1 count... way to throw away the walk
  5. i like how brenly said that if you watch everett every day, you see him win a lot of games with his glove. No mention of how many he loses with his bat.
  6. Thanks for cleaning up after yourself Sting. cubs should go over to his house and trash it
  7. maybe a random taiwanese tourist that the mesa cubs decided to put in the game
  8. wait, you mean he wasn't sincere about being excited for david beckham??? :lol:
  9. I would guess the person that started the poll. Everyone else thinks the poll is ridiculous. it wouldn't be ridiculous if the cubs had a good SS and no CF, since Ichiro does have the fourth highest VORP in the game. But since the Cubs are inept at SS, it's an easy answer.
  10. Forbes evaluation of team worth seems to be a little off when compared to these sale prices. (Braves and the potential Cubs sale) http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/04/17/06mlb_baseball_valuations_land.html Yeah I don't see the Braves being worth $400M when they were just bought for three times that. Those estimates all seem a little low, and I think the top end teams are, in some cases, worth considerably more than what they were appraised at.
  11. I don't know how big a deal 600 is. Over the next three years about 125 major leaguers will hit their 500th or 600th home run. Anyway, this is Ken Griffey Jr that we're talking about. And these are the Cubs. Anything that can go wrong, does. I'd give him about three innings before completely shredding his hamstring and being done for the year.
  12. dylan johnston has 13 errors in 22 games at boise. That's bad for a little league shortstop, let alone a fourth round draft pick.
  13. rundle = harvey part II Logjams at the lower levels aren't uncommon. I read in a recent newspaper article on the State College Spikes that they have 33 players on their roster, and their manager (Turner Ward) is rotating them to give them all time. Sounds great in theory, except you're probably taking away time from legitimate prospects for guys who are just organizational roster-filler.
  14. MLB hated that we spent as much money as we did last offseason. They also hated that we spent buttloads of money on marginal draft prospects to buy them away from college. That might've pissed them off even worse.
  15. you underestimate the power of the commissioner's office
  16. not gonna happen... MLB will let some cheapskate schmuck buy the team instead
  17. I voted "other" -- aleutian islander
  18. i thought chase would get a little more love... so far i'm the only one that picked him
  19. patterson grounded into a DP just before walrond was removed, and walrond was running from first to second on the play. I'm guessing that he got hurt somewhere during that play.
  20. Who's the American League MVP of the first half of the season? Neifi Perez is not an option.
  21. you know the drill... who's your choice for the MVP of the NL through Sunday's games? p.s. - it's a joke that hanley ramirez isn't on the all-star team.
