    What happened to Byrd?

    Wait, did we not allow an opponent to get a run in the AB after a big inning? Are we sure we're watching the Cubs?

    So is his hat And his face.

    The Red Sox caught Cubs disease that inning. Fun play on the overthrow on 3rd, but that was horrible, horrible baserunning by Soriano. And kudos to Aram for that excellent AB. That's how you do it.

    It's bad when you dream about the Cubs. I had a dream the other night we signed Fielder in the offseason because we felt he was the "safer bet."

    Get it done today, boys.
  7. erik316wttn
    We lost a great one today. RIP, Harmon.

    Shouldn't this be in Transactions? And the thought of Chapman getting control with the stuff he has is a very scary thought.

    I was always a fan of Hiram Boccachica when he played for the Dodgers.

    The Sun-Times is against signing Pujols for some reason:

    Has any team been more patient with a pitcher than the Cubs have been with Guzman? Yeah but by this point we wouldn't get anything for him. Kerry Wood is Cal Ripken compared to that guy.

    No, the Giants are back in town for another series then anyway. The make-up game is the afternoon game of a day-night DH; the night game was already scheduled. Kind of an odd scheduling quirk that the Giants come to Wrigley twice this year.
  13. erik316wttn
    So is this going to be one of those "mutual off-day" deals where the Giants come here for one game in June?

    Kind of late for a Fox Saturday game, isn't it?

    Verlander tried to channel his inner VanderMeer tonight... held the Royals hitless for 5 2/3rds. I often wonder if VanderMeer's record is more unbreakable than DiMaggio's.

    Fred I still say you should apply for work at Stats Inc. You two would be a perfect match.

    Glad that it seems Demp has righted himself.
  18. erik316wttn
    He is now giving up the fight and admitting himself to a hospice. Sad story. Esophageal cancer can kiss my ass. Stay strong, Harmon. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6540158

    I feel bad for the guy. I hope he comes back strong.
  20. erik316wttn
    Didn't he hire Dusty? If so, that alone makes me pass.
  21. erik316wttn
    He's an interesting choice. Obviously, you've got the whole Beane connection, and his short career with the Dodgers is difficult to evaluate since he was fired by someone like McCourt and replaced by Ned [expletive] Colletti. And ironically a name I threw out in my post. Not that I can say DePodesta would be good. I just don't think he was given a fair shot. And I'm not sure the Cubs should be the team to give him that shot. Why not? N&G, not a rip on you, just asking for some clarification: You say you want a GM with experience, and you don't want the Cubs to hire a guy who has never held the job before. However DePodesta only had the job for like 6 months. Is that really a long enough time for you to feel confident in his abilities? EDIT: You already answered upthread. Withdrawn.
  22. erik316wttn
    What qualifications does he have? Why dont we ask Ernie Banks, Billy Williams or Andre Dawson of he turns it down? Maddux is widely known as one of the smartest baseball minds out there.
  23. erik316wttn
    The fact that you're not denying it speaks volumes, but yes, I'm letting it go. Did you really think I wasn't going to call you out on this? And now back to your regularly-scheduled Hendry discussion! Yes. Especially the Wuertz trade. That was asinine from the start and we really could have used him in the pen in the years after we traded him away.
  24. erik316wttn
    believe me, i do not want to be defending erik here. God forbid. :roll: :roll: well, you havent actually made much of an argument. That wasn't what you meant by that statement, and you know it. We both know your problem wasn't with my argument, but with me.
  25. erik316wttn
    Pretty much this. If you're going to organize one of your philosophies like "catch the ball" or what have you, stick with it for more than a year, because then you're just going to get a mismatch of players who don't fit with what you're trying to do with the organization. And I was disappointed that Ricketts didn't fire Hendry upon taking over the team. He hadn't lived up to expectations before Ricketts took over, and I don't know what made him think that Hendry would after he took over, either.
