  1. It would be kind of awesome to have an Andre Dawson-type thing happen. But in conclusion, horsefeathers the Ricketts.
  2. BTW, Brian Dopirak is now a charter boat captain in Dunedin FL. If you can't be an MLB player that is about the next coolest job to have.
  3. Tyler Colvin, Ryan Harvey, Jason DuBois, or someone with a chance? We will find out shortly.
  4. And just like that, the Cubs have tied the games with 2 outs! 4-4 in the 5th
  5. Third dong in four innings. I feel bad for him, but then again, I think he's making several million dollars.
  6. 2 HRs in the first two innings. A single run in the 3rd. Cubs down 3.
  7. I can remember a game in the Astrodome where he hit two HRs against the Cubs, I want to say one was in dead center. He was a crazy good pitcher.
  8. You probably can, but I don't want it. Walks and dongs please. Which is kinda what Theo promised, right? Lots of long battling at bats with walks and lots of pop to bring them in. I know it’s baseball wide, but the strikeouts just crushed this team. The baseball landscape has changed significantly since Theo took over. High velo relivers are all the rage and SP are not getting a thrid trip through the lineup.
  9. Javy did a Javy thing for the Mets and I almost cried.
  10. He got traded. Seriously, if Boog is gone I'd rather just promote Pat to the booth. I thought his TV broadcasts have been good. I like Beth Mowens. She and JD seem to have a good groove when she's in the booth, but I still prefer to listen to the games rather than watch them. It's a weird thing with me. I liked Len a lot and definitely watched more games when he was doing pbp, but I really love Pat and Ron. Coomer has really improved in the booth over time and they make the game much more entertaining, at least for me. Boog and JD don't have it, whatever it is.
  11. you guys have long (good) memories. I don't remember anything.
  12. The first 5 guys reach in the 2nd on Davies.
  13. Davies just gave up a salami.
  14. Not that I'm complaining, but did Boog die?
  15. Ross tossed early. AAAA Cubs lead 1-0.
  16. bad investments and over-extended credit and I'm not necessarily talking about the talent on the field.
  17. Money talks, but I guess they won't be getting any "I just want to be in a great atmosphere" discounts in FA negotiations.
  18. Ouch. Sounds like Rizzo's hinting that the guys were unhappy as well. Hoyer made the right decision, IMO, but Hoyer might've been better off not saying anything. Hoyer would have been better off saying they tried to come to an agreement but the sides were too far apart. How hard is it to say that instead of they never negotiated? Instead, he sounds like a prick and everyone's idea of a terrible boss. FWIW, I think they should have tried harder with Rizzo. Byrant probably was going to go to FA. Baez was great and I love watching him play, but I wouldn't sign him to an extension for what he's going to ask for.
  19. Also has Kilian at 24. The reports seem to suggest he's much better than that.
  20. He will hence forth be known as Nicky Two Strikes.
  21. :twisted:
  22. :twisted:
  23. Yeah, but you don't need to sleep anyway. He means reboot.
  24. I really want the Cubs to make a strong run Seager, with Turner now in LA I don't think they try to resign him. I don't know what other big market teams (if one believes the Cubs are a big market team) will be bidding on him though.
  25. Man, that would be a nice development. At the major league level, Steele and Thompson have shown growth (along with Nance, Wisdom and Ortega). We've seen Jensen and Herz take steps forward in the minors along with a nice list of relievers. It'd be really nice to have 1 or 2 more upside arms do the same in the 2nd half. I'll settle for Carraway and Cam Sanders settling in and starting to shut guys down. Also, let's have Kohl Franklin show up, stay healthy and dominate, and Caleb Kilian keep doing what he's been doing in AA for the Smokies. Is that too much to ask...? Ortega is 30 years old.
