  1. After the win, the standings will go as: Team W L GB PCT. Cincinnati Reds 5 2 0.0 .714 Houston Astros 5 2 0.0 .714 Milwaukee Brewers 5 2 0.0 .714 Chicago Cubs 5 2 0.0 .714 Pittsburgh Pirates 2 7 4.0 .222 Correct?
  2. Bob Brenly's Empire Commercial impersonation makes my ears bleed.
  3. Dunn up with a 4-1 game and men on 1st and 3rd.
  4. Phillips grounds past a diving Hairston.
  5. Barrett's batting. No worries... he'll learn from his mistakes. Thankfully we're leading by 3.
  6. 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits, 2 BB, 7 SO... his ERA is now 1.46. Good hit by Lee?
  7. Boy, was that stretch badly coordinated.
  8. Pagan catches the second out. Who gets the stretch?
  9. Just came home. Great to see they're winning this time.
  10. http://www.cubscast.com/ Cubscast is a CSN sponsered Podcast, it is a very entertaining and feel-good listen these days... OF course, Cubs are regularly winning... But, they have a cool blog.
  11. I want to see more innings out of Sisco and his ability to give up 2 homers to pitchers that havent had a home run since high school... and I want to see him do that in the American League, K?
  12. First of all, the Podcast is the newest one on iTunes for ESPN Radio Daily... So if you have iTunes, enjoy. It's called "ESPN Radio Daily" if you dont subscribe to it. It hasnt been updated on ESPN's official podcast website yet...but likely soon will. http://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/podcast/index You will hear other sport news... Towards the middle, Terry Francona talks about the addition of Ortiz... Then Tim Kurkjian talks about the differences between Lee and Ortiz. Then he talks about Lee's progression & breakout throughout the years. Towards the end (around 24:25 into the podcast, 5:15 remaining), Ryan Dempstar comes on. Talks about Cardinal series. Says how he feels as the closer. Comments on Wood and Prior injuries. Defends Wood on being injury-prone. Talks about how many free dinners Derrek Lee's 65/5 million dollar contract is. Dempster remembers asking Lee that if he signed a big deal, Lee would buy Dempster a new car. If Lee didnt say it, Demp will trick him into believing he did. Dempster wants an Aston Martin Vanquish http://www.astonmartintrader.co.uk/global/vanquish400.jpg Compliments on D-Lee's comments to stay with the Cubs instead of going to NY/Boston... Talks about playing everyday at Wrigley Field compared to high-tech... Just something to get some laughs in after today's game.
  13. But still no expected return date? Hmm...
  14. Noteworthy Match-ups (Chicago Cubs) Vs. Brandon Claussen (Lefty, 0-0, witha 5.40 ERA in 2006) http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/1341/claussenvcubs1oj.jpg Should Hairston still start? Noteworthy Match-ups (Chicago Cubs) Vs. Greg Maddux (Righty, 1-0, with a 1.42 ERA in 2006) http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/619/madduxvreds4ol.jpg
  15. Hm... Trade? What teams would want Rusch... and what can we get? With the rotation getting healthy, great infield, Jacque waking up... Theres not many holes. I think trade for some good prospects would be good enough. Or should we take a chance with him in the bullpen? Whats his bullpen ERA?
  16. We'll just pretend the last game never happened... Or that Rusch never existed.
  17. He's had 1 start: 5 IP, 2 H, 6 K, 1 BB, 0.00 ERA. Meanwhile, Rusch in 9 IP: 11 H, 6 K, 3 BB, 6 HR, 8.00 ERA. Yeah, I think I'm in. So what's the way to convert minor league stats into major league?
  18. How's he doing in the minors so far? It cant be any worse off than Rusch.
