  1. He's 34 and coming off a fairly significant wrist injury. He wasn't going to be anyone's #1 free-agent signing.
  2. Not nearly as interesting as it would be if the Mariners were traveling to Wrigley. What's the worst that can happen with the Cubs in Seattle?
  3. No way they can ditch the bulls-eye logo. It's as much a part of the indicia as is the "C" on the hat. I would, however, love to see this alternate logo make a comeback.
  4. Was he heard singing anything while in the bar?
  5. Crasnick blows, plus we've known for a week that the Cubs were at least kicking the tires on Podsednik, if quietly and from a distance. It's not as if that was just dropped on us today.
  6. Guesses on how much this Byrd in the hand will be worth? I'm setting the over/under at $7 mil per year and taking the over.
  7. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-mariners-lee&prov=ap&type=lgns I suppose Carlos Silva would be the albatross contract the Cubs would get in return?
  8. Will Hawk's love of Slappy exceed his love for the ballplayer of ballplayers that was Darin Erstad? Stay tuned.
  9. Untrue. His wife has kind of a Sarah Silverman thing going on and his kids are cute. http://umpbump.com/press/2006/12/23/cbb-gabe-kaplers-babies/
  10. Good to know I'll still have Santo material to mine from the broadcasts. As for his temporary replacement when necessary, I wager it has a lot to do with how much notice they have. I'm sure Ron circles a few road trips each year where he knows the stadium is difficult to get around in and/or he just hates the place (as he used to do with the trips to RFK and Shea) or he just thinks the travel will be too much for him. They used Keith Moreland in that fill-in capacity last season, have to imagine they'd use him or someone similar in the seasons to come. Otto filled this roll prior to 2009, but let's hope they're moving away from using him except when necessary, because he really is just bad. He adds nothing to the broadcast and unlike Ron, has no personality and little to no chemistry with Pat.
  11. I guess I'm convinced.
  12. Except that there were places on the 2003 roster-in-progress for Karros and Grudz. Where does Mike Lowell, an aging third baseman at best and a first baseman/DH otherwise, fit on the Cubs?
  13. This is a useless assertion without pictures.
  14. Arredondo was non-tendered because he's out for TJS; he's not going to be of much use to anyone until at least the start of the 2011 season. Church would be a fine signing for the bench and I would potentially take flyers on any two or three of Atkins, Capps, Gomes, Johnson, Olsen and Wang.
  15. Surprised me too. Worried about having to pay him in arbitration, maybe?
  16. Garko, Capps and Atkins all cut by their respective teams. Take a flyer on Atkins for the bench or Capps for the bullpen?
  17. Add Chien-Ming Wang to the list.
  18. Others: Jack Cust, A's Scott Olsen, Nats Jeremy Reed, Mets Tim Redding, Mets Cory Sullivan, Mets Ryan Church, Braves Brian Bass, Orioles
  19. There's more where these came from, folks. www.twitter.com/keithlaw
  20. Haven't seen this yet: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=rotowire-attindstromradedtoou&prov=rotowire&type=fantasy
  21. This. He's the captain in every way except for a blue "C" on his sleeve.
  22. That's a hell of a coup for the MLB Network.
  23. FOX Sports has the Yankees, D'backs and Tigers potentially in on a three-way that would result in: Yankees get Curtis Granderson, 1-2 Arizona prospects D'backs get Edwin Jackson, Ian Kennedy Tigers get Max Scherzer, Austin Jackson, one of Phil Coke/Michael Dunn http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=tsn-tigerstalkingjackson&prov=tsn&type=lgns
  24. I'm sure this is just some St. Louis radio station passing false information to try and throw Chicago fans into a tizzy. Nothing to it. Really.
  25. NHL Shop running free jersey customization until midnight ET, which knocks about $50 off the price of a customized jersey.
