  1. The Four Horsemen of the Blown Save.
  2. WordUpThome: SO WHAT IS THE MASCOT SITUATION LIKE IN MINNESOTA WordUpThome: BECAUSE IN LOS ANGELES THE ONLY THING WE HAD WAS KIM KARDASHIAN AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING A MASCOT WITH A TUCKUS BIGGER THAN THE PHILLIE PHANATICS http://backporch.fanhouse.com/2010/01/25/the-dugout-thome-in-minnesota/
  3. This predates the signing by a few days, obviously, but I think the point is valid, particularly since the Phillies have confirmed they will use him as a bullpen piece.
  4. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-angels-pineiro&prov=ap&type=lgns $8 mil a year for Pineiro. Woof.
  5. I do not approve of this. What does Jeff Gray think he's doing?
  6. They do look a fair amount like those velcro-adjustible Nike fashion caps... Not to worry, though, next year or in 2012 they'll introduce a new BP jersey design that everyone hates and by 2013, they'll have changed the BP hat design again and we can rail against that. :thumbsup:
  7. I agree with you to an extent, but do you really believe Tyler Colvin will be the one to do this?
  8. Nope. Just think Lofton and Walker and Theriot and DeRosa.
  9. Full back, minus the space, obviously; the filter censors any word starting with F and ending with CK
  10. Of the remaining personnel that have to be slotted in: RF Fukudome SS Theriot 1B Lee 3B Ramirez CF Byrd LF Soriano C Soto 2B Baker/Fontenot If Soto returns to 2008 form, I swap him and Byrd as soon as possible.
  11. New to the 40-man: Rafael Dolis - 66 John Gaub - 32 Jeff Gray - 51 Mike Parisi - 47 Blake Parker - 58 Carlos Silva - 52 James Adduci - 63 Marlon Byrd - 24 Switches: Jeff Stevens - 44 (from 52) Tyler Colvin - 21 (from 19) New hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo takes no. 7 for his uniform. 40-man NRIs Coaches
  12. It was a lot funnier when he was the president of the BBWAA. It all practically wrote itself.
  13. "The Cubs will be 'meh' in twenty-teh"
  14. Quicker, one would think, given that the Astros are owned by an individual (rather than a big corporation as the Cubs were) and the Astros aren't part of any bankruptcy at the moment. It only took... what, a few months? to sell the Rangers, and that was with their owner dealing with financial issues.
  15. Spring training coach.
  16. They did, it's just that the franchise left their retired numbers in Montreal when they departed.
  17. What are Dusty's thoughts on the signing?
  18. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-rangers-guerrero&prov=ap&type=lgns http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ti-vladimirguerrero010810&prov=yhoo&type=lgns 1 year, about $5 million. Not bad - assuming he stays healthy and in the lineup, he'll be reasonably productive for not a ton of money.
  19. I'm aware of that. Had the Cubs elected to forego finding a center fielder in free agency and go with your proposed Johnson/Fuld platoon, do you believe they would have been able to get Johnson to return for less than his $3 mil 2009 salary? Or, conversely, when Reed signs elsewhere, do you believe he will do so for less than that?
  20. Reed wouldn't have made any less than the $3 million he made in 2009 had the Cubs elected to retain him.
  21. Holliday switches from no. 15 to no. 7, for those who care.
  22. Opinion poll: if Dawson goes in with a C on his hat (and maybe even if he doesn't), should/will the Cubs retire no. 8?
  23. Supposedly he's close to signing with San Francisco. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=tsn-giantsclosetosigning&prov=tsn&type=lgns
