Its going to be 7-3 shortly...
-
The most frustrating aspect of this game is crap like Wes Helms is 2-2.
-
21 ER in 30 IP, an OPS of .800+, BAA .360+ the Cubs will get to this guy.
-
Do the Phillies seriously think they'll have a chance with this staff? Outside of Myers and Hamels, its pretty weak.
-
Which is a distinct possibility considering the Phillies have a much weaker bullpen and staff, for that matter.
-
Listening to the Score on the way into work this morning, Mike North actually said something viable - "...Ryan Howard is stupid baseball player". I wouldn't flag him as a stupid baseball player however, beyond hitting there's really nothing else Howard does well. I'll give him the bat over D. Lee but, D. Lee beats him hand over fist in the remaining facets of the game, so to does Prince Fielder and of course, Albert Pujols. Despite the MVP last season, I believe Pujols is the superior hitter and player compared to Howard.
-
I believe this time it may have been the heat, he was pretty good through 4.
-
The silver lining is unlike Cole Hamels, Jamie Moyer has to perfect to be effective, if his missing his spots, he's going to get crushed.
-
Not true (I think it may have been, years ago); now waivers are needed for any trades after July 31. The significance of Aug. 31 is that's the last day a player can be added to a team's roster for postseason eligibility. Thanks, now that you mention it, I knew that, nevertheless, thanks.

Jose Cruz Jr. Released

Indeed, if Hendry doesn't give him a shot, that may very mean he thinks the Cubs are set. -
I may be wrong but, isn't the intra-league waiver deadline August 31? If so, Hendry has until the end of month to aquire Church before having to get him by waivers.
-
I'm quite probably overtly optimistic but, I believe Lee, Ramirez and Murton are going to mash Moyer tonight while Hill keeps the Phillies in check.
-
Didn't Len say this game was a WGN broadcast Sunday?
-
Well said...
-
I thinking of one of two scenarios: 1. Hendry tried to upgrade with a Griffey, Dunn or Church but, their price tags were outrageous. 2. Hendry has been fooled by the last two months into thinking the Cubs, as they are currently constructed, will get to the playoffs and beyond. I'm hoping 1. was the case but, my heart tells me 2. is much more probable.
-
Braun hitting .500 (yes, .500 freckin hundred) vs LHP is big reason for their success against lefties - he can't continue this all season, can he?
-
I wouldn't do that, once he removes that Cardinal uniform, the magic pixie dust goes with it.
-
He didnt "make" a rumor. He reported what he heard on the SCORE, chill. It doesn't sound realistic though. Just yesterday both Hendry and Lou denied they were shopping Pie. Nor will the Reds make a deal, they're content to hang on to Griffey and Dunn rather than use them to gain some pitching. So, next season, they'll continue to score tons of runs while allowing tons of runs on the way to a 5th or 6th place finish.
-
This is tainted because of his dealings with the Cubs but, when's the last time Schuerholz dealt quality for quality? JD Drew deal?
-
Me to, its evidently clear of offense and pitching, offense is the weaker spot on the Cubs. Recent play aside, an upgrade is badly needed in one or all of RF,CF,SS or C. I can believe Hendry is foolish enough to let their recent play indicate no offensive upgrades are needed, I don't want to, but I can. Heck he talked himself to counting on Wood and Prior for the last three seasons...
-
Yes and no. Thanks
-
There was a report that he only wanted to go to Atlanta or Chicago, but Griffey hasn't said anything of that sort either way. Thanks
-
About the Seattle rumor: I may be mistaken but, doesn't Griffey Jr. have a no-trade clause? And, didn't state something to the extent that he'd only approve trades to Atlanta or Chicago?
-
Piece of you know what only hits the Cubs.
-
C'mon Duncan hit someone besides the Cubs for a change...
