... That was bad. I would've booed him too. Bob Uecker.... Seriously?

Yes. As soon as he goes to another team, he will become Cy Young... So leave him here so we won't regret the move.

As long as Cubs don't open another season in Cincinnati, I could care less. 2007: @ Cincy 2006: @ Cincy 2005: @ Arizona 2004: @ Cincy 2003: @ New York 2002: @ Cincy It also wouldn't hurt to have the Cubs season open at home... Which hasn't happened in over a decade... 1996.

It all depends on the new owner, IMO. I guess he will have a fair shot because it's late August and they're contending.

They were 1 game up on the Wild Card at this point in 2004.

Why aren't you knocking?

No but his Plate Discipline will turn into Kevin Youkilis against the Cubs.

I think he's just meeting with the Cubs staff and they are going to get a quick progress report on how his recovery is going. He also is rehabbing in Arizona.

I thought David Wells DFA was bad enough.

Batista did take an awkward route to first base. It looked like he was charging the mound first too. Most hitters take their time and take off equipment, throw it towards the dugout, and jog over to 1B.

No, actually he sucked. Your assesment of his contributions suck. Burnitz played 160 games of solid RF. He scored 84 runs, hit 24 HR, and drove in 87 on a bad team. He also replaced Sosa. What type of year did Sammy have?...
