    With the way the financial sector is tanking you may not have to worry. He may not have the money.

    Not really. How many times to you hear about a manger being fired, and then the team goes on a nice little hot streak for the new manager? Thats exactly what the Brewers need right now. Willie Randolph anybody? What if 2 teams in the NL playoffs have different managers than they started with? Willie Randolph didn't get fired with 12 games left in the season. Does anybody know what the latest in the season a manager has been fired is? It happens in hockey from time to time. My guess is that the Brewers don't make the playoffs. I don't think they would have made it with Yost either though. Yost probably cost them two consecutive playoff appearances. He's that bad. The article tree posted is SOP for Yost. It's hard to believe he's a Bobby Cox disciple.

    New Wrigley at Clark and Addison. There are just too many bad seats to pay premium prices for. Age, 39 years 9 months and 11 days.

    Holy Howry! 3 more outs.
  5. CubinNY
    They can start doing that with Harvey any time.

    Will WGN radio still carry the game?
  7. CubinNY
    I submit to you, one, Albert F. Pujols. Yep. As long as he can still swing the bat they are a contender in the Central. He's that good.

    My prediction is that by the end of season one, either Stone or Harrelson won't be doing TV for the Sox. Stone doesn't suffer idiots and Harrelson is one. I could actually envision a shouting match in the TV booth.

    Well duh.....6 game behind the Cubs vs. 2 games up over the Phillies. Honestly, not wanting to play the Phillies in the first round, I'll be cheering for the Brewers the next couple of days. Nothing against you, but who do you want to play in the first round? The LA school for the Blind? Seriously, the Cubs have the pitching to beat any team in baseball. They have the offense to contend with any team. It seems like every time I open one of these threads I see somebody saying "I don't want to play in the first round.

    And Digger Phelps son in-law.

    I wouldn't mind some sort of postponement of these games. The Astros are the hottest team in baseball. The last thing the Cubs need is to get swept or lose 2/3.

    How is his range/ instincts? I have no way of knowing. I can give a rough outline of what I saw but I'm not qualified to make those judgments. It's hard to tell. I guess most of the balls he should have got to he did, but then again most of them were hit right at him I will say that by the time I saw him this year Fuld was playing CF and Fuld can go get them. He made at least on great catch to save "The Shark" some runs.

    Last night the Cubs took one more step closer to the NL crown. Move on. Lou making bone-headed moves and then getting pissy after a tough loss is not going to help this team. They need to be on an even keel. This stuff happens to a lot of teams toward the end of the season

    I've always been under the impression that if Z wasn't a Cub, he'd be hated by 99.9% of the population around here. No doubt. He'd pass Valverde, AJ Alphabet, Carlos Lee, Braun, LaTroy, etc. by a mile. Message boards for other team's fans are in full agreement when it comes to hating Carlos Zambrano. Player haters.

    I wish Harvey could make more contact. What a disappointment.
  18. CubinNY
    From what I saw of Colvin (@ 4.5 games) He's got the arm to play RF or CF. If I'm remembering correctly he threw a guy out going from 1 to 3rd in one game we saw, and another at home (from RF). I think Vaughn Joshua needs to get a hold of him. I'm no expert on this (or even much of an ammeter), but to me his swing is long and loopy and I'm not so sure about his bat speed. I don't have much hope that he will be anything more than fringe player/defensive replacement in the unlikely event he spends significant time in the majors.

    Little known but excellent book called Some are Called Clowns by Bill Heward and Dimitri Gatt. It's about the last barnstorming team, the Indianapolis Clowns. It's a really funny and at times sad book.

    Wait, stop the presses. You've never cussed? No GDs? No shs? That is huge.
  21. CubinNY
    why would it be different? His fingers on one hand don't really move and he doesn't have muscle in them?

    As somebody who is somewhat familar with NY cops/rent-a-cops, "the Yankee way" and faux-post 9/11 aggressive patriotism in the NY area, I would not dismiss his claims. I'd like to second this post. There are a lot of meat heads at Yankee stadium who will be more than willing to beat some sense into you should you not show the proper level of reverence.
  23. CubinNY
    How in the world does he hold a bat?
  24. CubinNY
    Every time the Brewers lose they are one game close to being eliminated from the NL Central Title. The only way they can catch the Cubs is to win when the Cubs lose. They cannot catch the Cubs no matter what else they do. This sort of thing happens to almost every team.
  25. CubinNY
    I know that. What I meant was a contract extension. That would be a terrible mistake. $7 million isn't much to gamble, but if he excels in the postseason the smart play would be picking up his option then trading him. The smart play?
