  1. 7 extra base hits allowed by rusin in 4 innings. not exactly a strong argument for being called up to the big club.
  2. calling szczur a second division starter is a very defensible position. anyway, rhee has been pretty damn bad lately. disappointing. the smokies are doing their best cubs impression, down 11-0 and being outhit 20-2.
  3. wow inside the park grand slam, don't see that every day.
  4. holy hell, 16-1?!? nice work cubs.
  5. zeke devoss has been pretty disappointing. you'd think that a guy who played major college ball for 3 years and was drafted pretty high would be hitting better than .244 with an ops barely above .700. easterling has also been pretty lousy, but at least he looks good while not hitting.
  6. in back to back games. this is like seeing the loch ness monster and big foot on consecutive days.
  7. randy wells really does not inspire confidence.
  8. kind of funny that the pitcher with 12 K's in that game has allowed 5 hits, and the pitcher with 3 K's has a no hitter.
  9. miguel sano has made 27 errors already :shock:
  10. A few more days of production and he'll have two straight months of over .900 ops. Tough to just call it a hot streak at this point. Doubters! :) you mean cumulatively? his OPS in may was .884 (.284/.333/.550/.884)
  11. http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=22588045
  12. not sure what mcneill has signed for, but it we assume that it was slot money, then i would think that a little over $500k (or nearly $700k when you include the 0-5% overage) above slot should be enough to get deals done with almora and underwood.
  13. bring back Chuck_Cubs to provide a rebuttal.
  14. i'm not sure if teamocil is on the banned substance list.
  15. no walks? get him out of here. going to be pretty tough to post a .000 IsoP while hitting 500 home runs.
  16. plus his option for next year is $13m ($1m buyout). he'd really have to show you something in the second half to be kept on for that kind of money. more than likely, you'd just be trading for a veteran who's just going to block someone (granted, the somebodies he's blocking are all pretty lousy, but still) and then end up buying him out after this year to make him a free agent.
  17. even for WSR that [expletive] is bad.
  18. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=58280 there was also at least one september game during the past couple of years that didn't even HAVE a game thread.
  19. i started laughing about a minute in when cuban talks about how they never use facts, bayless gets his panties in a bunch and says "that's all i use on this show," cuban talks about "excruciating pressure, undeniable this, it's just all generalities," and the bayless says "there's never been a star under more pressure going into a finals than lebron james was under" which completely makes cuban's point for him.
  20. i'd be a-okay with rizzo turning into a lefthanded paul goldschmidt.
  21. i don't know who timothy saunders is (azl cubs) but he's 6-for-6... all singles.
