  1. I really don't know if that was a joke or not. Joe Borowski throws 85 with his fastball. End of argument. I don't look at how hard a guy throws. I look at if he can get hitters out. JoBo no longer can, so I will also pass on him. Velocity is simply a detail if a pitcher can get hitters out.
  2. That isn't a real article. Sportspickle is a satire site.
  3. The Rays are contenders. Being a Cubs fan for all these years has made me a perpetual fan of the underdog. I would like the Rays or Tigers as the AL representative in the WS. I'd settle for a Cubs/anyone WS. As would I.

  5. until you realize it's comcast cable, and then you'll want to kill yourself It's remarkable how Comcast seems to magically find ways to make my bill a bit higher every single month. Its amazing isn't it? Between basic cable and the internet service I ended up paying $180 a flippin' month! Don't know how it happened it just did. Traded it for Sat and DSL and never looked back. Charter isn't much better.
  6. Yes. This team needs to straighten itself out on the road, and quick.
  7. A lot of times getting voted into the ASG is little more than a lifetime achievement award. Ripken didn't deserve a lot of his bids, especially near the end of his career, but he kept getting voted in year after year. Griffey is a sure-fire HOF'er, and that's what a lot of casual fans are voting on... career achievement rather than success in this season.
  8. Let's make this the start of another hot streak, especially with the Cards coming up.
  9. Everybody says that every time we go through a little rought patch. or in the case of erik, a bad inning Nice to know I have fans. And come on.. can you blame me? Can you blame any of us for expecting the worst around every corner? You do realize what team we root for, right? You sound like a fun guy. I mean, Truffle is calling you out about how overtly negative you are. That's like Flava Flav calling someone "really black" I really don't care what Truffle or anyone else thinks. If he doesn't like what I post, there are ways to ignore me. The fact that he hasn't tells me that he doesn't find me as bad as one would think. It's unfortunate that he chose to attack me in a personal manner, but whatever gets you to sleep at night, I guess. And I find it funny that I'm singled out when quite often (note: not ALWAYS, but often) I'm posting generally the same sentiments as others in game threads and elsewhere when things aren't going well.

  11. This team pisses me off. I have a bad feeling that the bottom is falling out.
  12. On the same note, I do think a split DH between the Cubs and Sox with one game at each park would be cool.
  13. Dear Cubs, Stop getting your asses kicked. You're supposed to be the "best team in baseball." Play like it, please. Thanks.
  14. Is this team scared of going 21 games over? It seems like they crap the bed every time they get back to 20 games over.
  15. I found it quite funny, actually, but I'm weird like that.
  16. I'm not too worried about Lilly. He's been steadily improving each month, with a 2.70 ERA in June. He just needs to cut down on the walks and homeruns. Really? It seems like he's been much crappier this month.
  17. Hey jerk, I just made a post like that a little bit ago. But you forgot to mention Z and Soriano on the DL and Pie at Mesa. Pie got busted to Mesa? Ouch. When did this happen?
  18. I still wouldn't mind if he could call him "our little guy" ooooh right around August 1st. If we've landed another starter by then, yes.
  19. As if we would expect anything else from Fontenot.
