I'm still on the 'work out a incentive laden deal to be a reliever' bandwagon. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060902&content_id=1641564&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc
Is Sir Donald ready for AA? Gallagher - Donnie 1-2 to start the year at AA would be quite the punch, i don't think either will finish the year in AA though.
He's had quality starts now against Arizona, Pittsburgh, Philly, St. Louis and San Francisco. No truly great teams but some good lineups (AZ (i think they were hot at the time), Philly and St Louis)
Cobs win. http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060901/capt.c9971f018d564524ada1d8ad110fe64a.giants_cubs_baseball_cxc108.jpg Rich bunts http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060901/capt.892f99eb2f81405f8c8ee33e2c130da3.giants_cubs_baseball_cxc110.jpg Rich contemplates the crisis in the middle east between pitches http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060901/capt.69f4322770ce4bb98cd09b5185328a60.giants_cubs_baseball_cxc109.jpg

ESPN "expert" picks, pretty much everyone has the Bears winning the North but nothing much past that, nobody has them winning the NFC http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview06/news/story?id=2568742&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines
final pitching stats Richard Joseph Hill 8.0IP, 5 hits, 1 walk, 1 earned run, 6 strike outs, 107 pitches, 75 strikes. should be a hell of a battle between him and Will Ohman for the loogy spot next spring ;)
