  1. Come on, Mauer is going one way or another. It's just not possible to snub somebody that badly.
  2. Boy, Juan Pierre making an out in an RBI situation? Didn't see that one coming!
  3. This is true, his Sunday column in the Globe was the best baseball column out there. It was back before the days of the internet and widespread talk radio, when a lot of the info he provided couldn't be had anywhere else. He was certainly a pioneer when it comes to in-depth baseball reporting.
  4. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Cubs will lose this game.
  5. Boy, I thought Toby Hall would be a lot better offensive catcher than he turned out to be.
  6. Another fantastic game for Ryan Harvey.
  7. Those teams stink because they're in small markets and have no money... and because they've been terribly managed. The Cubs have the resources to be very successful, but they're incompetent in how they allocate these resources. Then, they keep around a moron like Dusty even though it's painfully obvious he should have been canned long ago. Not to mention that it's bad enough to try to follow this team through the computer. I really wouldn't want to waste the time commuting to and from Wrigley and spending money at the game to watch the Cubs lose 7-1.
  8. If it makes you feel better, Alexis Rios will probably make it this year too. Vern deserves to go again too. He has to go. If there are 6 outfielders better than him in the AL, I'd like to meet them. One could argue he's been the best AL outfielder so far, although Manny Ramirez and Jermaine Dye (wtf??) would have to factor into the discussion.
  9. Hire Jim Leyland... he wins games. Oh wait...
  10. If it makes you feel better, Alexis Rios will probably make it this year too.
  11. Twins, then Tigers.
  12. Easily the worst since 2000, I'd say. It may be the worst since the early '80s. What a disgrace.
  13. Damn right he's the player of the week. He should be player of the millenium.
  14. Bet the Cubs' next move is to fire Brenly.
  15. Dusty's dream is our nightmare.
  16. If you want to hire a better manager than Dusty, you don't need Ozzie Guillen for that. A drunken orangutan would suffice.
  17. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
  18. Probably high by about 2-3 mph, but he has been known to go over 100 mph sometimes. Pretty similar to Farnsworth in terms of velocity.
  19. Haha that's awesome, using an injury to a mediocre outfielder who had never played in the big leagues this season as an excuse for losing. Fantastic.
  20. Jeez, 4 walks in one game? Have the Cubs released him yet?
