    With a good bunt, it prevents a DP, and it provides Lee a chance to drive them in (Since they're IBB'ing him now) or Floyd in this case. The game can get 3-0 in a hurry. No, bunting is the right move just about never. Never. 3-0! See? :D I once stuck my hand down the garbage disposal to grab a quarter and didn't get my hand chopped up.

    I really like Charlie Marbles. That one will stick.

    Wow. I did not know that. Well, I guess that's good news. Now they have to beat up on these weak teams.

    It's not about the fans, it's about the team. Every series is big becuase they suked ass so bad for most of the first half. If they go into the ASB less than .500 we shouldn't expect much for the rest of the year.

    I've been away for a week and was going to start a new thread, but I don't like to unless I see nothing that applies. Anyway, these two series coming up to the ASB are about as must win as it gets for the Cubs. They are playing two pretty bad teams and must take at least 2 out three in each to be considered "for real". Anything less and it just a 25 cent peep show. The Cubs have climbed out of a big hole. I hope they can stay out.

    But, but, he's got tools doesn't he?! :roll: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/S/Jeff-Samardzija.shtml Samardzija's college's numbers.

    During a game in which his team wins by way of extra-inning walk-off grand slam. I think Houston just experienced its baseball highpoint for the season. It's ironic that you made that post when the picture in your signature shows the Cubs high point.
  10. CubinNY
    Samardjia (or whatever) important numbers aren't that much different than what they were in college. The difference is he's not in college. Perhaps he can learn to adjust and overcome. If he doesn't pan out he will be the best example of Hendry's tenure as GM. He's probably a great athlete but not a great baseball player.

    Wow, if that's true, just wow. It's not like the Cubs are taking on 10M extra dollars of contract. They're paying Jones to play for another team. They pay his salary either way. What has debt got to do with anything? Not to mention Selig has no right to interfere in the finances of major league teams. The league has to approve all trades, but I don't recall a trade ever being vetoed because of some aspect of the team's internal finances. This is why baseball is so messed up. The owners keep trying to kill the game, but the game is too strong for them. Dumbest bunch of smart people on the planet.

    Porn or baseball?

    No way, he'd get sued for all he's got, and possibly face jail time. It's one thing to get pissed off over a few million dollars in overpayment for a draftee, but to counteract that with screwing around with something that'll amount to hundreds of millions, if not a billion dollars, would not fly. He needs to approve the sale along with the owners, he could at least threaten not to: Q: Ryan from Houston asks: What exactly happens to teams that sign guys for over slot value? Do they get punished or something by MLB? A: Jim Callis: You can't be directly punished if you go through the mandated process. If you want to sign a guy over slot, you have to tell MLB. You have to explain why it's a good move. Then MLB, much like David Spade in those phone commericals, says "NO!" Then you say you want to do it anyway, and MLB tries to lean on your owner. Now, if you're a small-revenue owner and you're hoping Bud Selig will give you an All-Star game or some discretionary funds, you might fall in line. Otherwise, MLB can't really do much to you. I smell a juicy lawsuit brewing. This smacks of price fixing.

    I know about 650,000 Cardinal fans and a few Cardinal players who would disagree with you.
  15. CubinNY
    I really like Old Style beer. The Cubs? They suck. Every team makes mistakes the Cubs mistakes are magnified becuase they suck. The suckiest sucks that ever sucked.
  16. CubinNY
    And just yesterday I got word from Wriglievillesports/Cubword.com that the Ryan Theriot jersey's were in. Guess they'll be marked down.
  17. CubinNY
    I'd say that was pretty optimistic. Seriously, I thought they'd be a little better than last year, and I think so far my assessment is pretty close. They were/are put together wrong becuase of Hendry's fetishes. I will say I've been happy with DeRosa though. I didn't predict that.

    http://www.daveyd.com/ludacris97.jpg That actually makes more sense than my poorly spelled word Ludicrous I curse my teachers, curse them all.
  19. CubinNY
    that lineup is pretty close to what they ran out there last nite...here is what they went with SS Cedeno 2B Patterson RF Murton 1B Hoffpauir C Soto CF Coats LF Kroeger 3B Moore Put Pie at the top of the order and substitute Lee for Hoffpauir and I'd almost take that over the Chi Cubs lineup.
  20. CubinNY
    Raisin, Rawaction, TT, any of our MiLB experts know when or if Soto is going to get the call up? Will we have to wait until Bowen and Hill have completely laid eggs?
  21. CubinNY
    O'Malley is really crapping the bed this year. Wow
  22. CubinNY
    Koye Hill Skip Shumaker
  23. CubinNY
    It's beyond absurd. It's ......... I don't know, what's a word for beyond absurd? Ludacris is the word you are looking for. Koye Hill Mike Fontenot Ryan Theriot Stellar.
  24. CubinNY
    With the way the Cubs played last night, this trade could be the spark of something big, like a 6-14 record in the next 20 games. That would be great.
  25. CubinNY
    yea Sammy!
