  1. Unbelievable Dempster barely made through the last half-inning and the idiot is sending him back out!!!!!!
  2. Miracle of miracles Bradley and Soriano doing something positive in the same inning?
  3. Only goods things about that last commercial: 1. Clip of MJ after he hit that jumper to beat Cleveland 2. Second clip of MJ - looks like one of Championships won at the Stadium
  4. That's all on Lou, no reason what so ever to leave Dempster in...
  5. Now the idiot will get him, one batter to late.
  6. Dempster can't get the ball down, he needs to be gone - now.
  7. He was balked over to 2nd. But he was talking about the balk itself saying a balk may have been called even if there was a throw to 1b.
  8. What the heck is McCarver talking about? 1b unoccupied? Wasn't Theriot on with a BB?
  9. I agree, his only value to the Cubs is what he can bring to the lineup offensively and given, he's not hit at all thus far, I don't see any reason whatsoever for him to play.
  10. I attended the game, damn, it was hot! We were in the upper deck along the 3b line, 14 rows in, not a bad view at all, I should have brought along some broth to base us every half hour because were roasting. Watching the game I thought it was 2006, it's looking more and more like that season every day. Routine plays screwed up, Soriano getting doubled up because he choose to start hustling to 1b only the last 10 or so feet. Also, the Fontenot at 3b experiment needs to end, either bench him or put him at 2b, go with Fox at 3b until he stops hitting. Your not losing or gaining anything defensively with Fox at 3b but, he unlike, Fontenot is hitting.
  11. he's thrown out several lately, no? I'll admit, due to their pathetic display of late, I've not paid too much attention for the last three or so weeks. Last time I saw Soto he appeared to have morphed into 2007 Jason Kendall when attempting to throw out a base runner.
  12. Wait a second, Soto threw a base runner out?
  13. Read something in Monday' USA Today apparently, the Wings are going to have only around 4 million in cap space this off season. If that's true I gotta believe one or more of Hossa, Hudler or, I can't remember if the other name FA was Stuart or Samuelsson, is gone. Of course, my arrogant Wings fan mother-in-law thinks they'll all resign for a combined 1 million!
  14. Maybe my math is off, but 10-11 doesn't look like a .784 winning percentage to me. ;) I was going to highlight the same line, I don't know Fred will enough to joke with him. But given Fred was there in 1907 you'd think it'd be correct. ;)
  15. 8 for me, Der Sting in 1981, remember how desperate Chicago was for any kind of a championship in '81?
  16. I believe this is a great idea, with Fox in LF do we really lose that much defensively? At least there's a good chance Fox will do things like hustle after gb's.
  17. If it’s true the Rockies are desperate to dump Atkins, Hendry should take a flier. Something like taking his contract off the books may be all that's necessary perhaps; the pending sale has held Hendry up. If not Atkins, why not take a chance on Branyan, if neither work out, it won't be any change from what the Cubs are getting now at 3B - a whole lot of nothing.
  18. A few things that ticked me off, walking Pence not once but, twice, he swings at anything close and Lee' gb single, I'm thinking a SS with average range would had that ball.
  19. Look at Wandys last 3 outings, Id say its already been fixed. Lets just hope he keeps on that trend and doesnt go back to the early season Wandy. Unfortunately, it's not just early season Wandy. 2007 home: 95.0 IP, 2.94 ERA 2008 home: 81 1/3 IP, 2.99 ERA 2009 home: 39.0 IP, 2.31 ERA Wandy at MMP is a really bad matchup. He has seemingly figured out how to pitch to take the best advantage of the strange dimensions in that ballpark. Hopefully the Cubs can keep it close and scratch a few across against him. His recent starts do encourage a little bit although just one was at home. His last outing against a terrible Rockies team in MMP his line was 5 inn 10 hits 7 ER. Add that into his previous 2 starts when he didnt make it past the 5th inning, I like our chances against him right now. Plus Bradley gets to bat RH which is always a plus. Unless, of course, he somehow manages to pull muscle X while walking to the batters' box.
  20. Seriously. Actually no offense, I can't believe a die hard Hawks fan would be cheering for the Wings. I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. As an example from another sport, you could have threatened my life and I still would have cheered against the Packers in the 2007 NFC Championship game. There was nothing that would get me to root for the Packers. Its akin to a Cubs fan rooting for the Cardinals, the only circumstance I would cheer for the Red Wings is if they were matched against a group of aliens for the fate of Earth - maybe.
