I thought the trade was pretty fair. On an unrelated note, I just watched a very wierd play. Furcal triples and Russell Martin is at the plate. Martin pops one up over by the Padres dugout. Josh Bard is headed for the dugout and goes into a slide to make the catch. While in his slide, he crosses over the top step of the dugout, while simultaneously making an outstanding catch. Bard jumps up and runs towards the plate to keep Furcal from scoring. Brilliant play by Bard. End result: Umpires get together and decide that Bard's leg crossed over into the dugout before the ball was caught. Bard is charged with an error and Furcal is advanced home on the play. That might be the best error I see all year.

Missing my first Cubs game today. What's better? ESPN or MLB gameday? Fox is showing the Padres vs. Dodgers at 1pm here. -
Brian Sabean: "How much do you still owe on the Buick?"
-
Agreed. I think as the weather warms up, so will Pie and Soriano.
-
Yep - we're rebuilding and A-Rod was just attacked by a hawk. I had no choice... Rebuilding in week 1? :scratch:

Actually, Colorado and Arizona don't look much better.

I was just admiring the batting averages in Oakland's box score as of 9pm PST on Friday night. Obviously the batting averages are accumulative with all their other games: Buck- .000 Ellis- .059 Barton- .200 Sweeney- .182 Cust- .154 Crosby- .294 Hannahan- .250 Suzuki- .375 R. Sweeney- .375

Huh? Here's BJ's age 20 season: .246 .302 .291

Player A: .271 .312 .372 641 major league AB's at age 22 Player B: .203 .240 .335 1031 major league at bats at age 22 Player C: .256 .293 .402 561 major league at bats at age 22 Player D: .233 .318 .414 508 major league at bats at age 22 Player A) Ryne Sandberg Player B) Sammy Sosa Player C) Aramis Ramirez Player D) Derrek Lee All of these guys should have been dumped by their respective teams, too!

The official scorekeeper needs to change Tejada's hit to a double and an error.
-
A whopping 683 plate appearances between AA and AAA at the ripe young age of 21/22, while also logging games at the major league level in 2005 in every month of the season during his only AAA season before playing SS regularly in 2006.

Let me just go on record and say that I'm thrilled that Richie Sexson is someone else's problem.
-
Yeah, I just did the same thing, although I'm currently short a reserve player since my DL has all of a sudden become quite crowded.

Ryan Dempster – Early Season Cy Young Candidate?
BigbadB replied to GoCubsGo1679625768's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Shockingly enough, Dusty pulled him after 7 and only 92 pitches. -
Robert Hernandez suspended 50 games (steroid stanozolol)
BigbadB replied to Omar's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I thought it was rather brilliant. -
Ryan Dempster – Early Season Cy Young Candidate?
BigbadB replied to GoCubsGo1679625768's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think he finishes 2nd to Cueto ............................... I think he finishes a very distant 2nd to Cueto. 30 wins- 0 losses, 300 K's- 0 BB's and 0.14 WHIP -
How do you follow Cubs baseball when away from home?
BigbadB replied to windycityfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I know I'm late to the party, but don't forget to bring your XM radio to work tomorrow! :wink: -
lazy, homer-watching, pop-up avoiding, first-base dogging,

Ryan Theriot for 3b! -
I like Theriot and I also appreciate him. He also has a cool nickname. The blame for him being the regular at SS and batting lead of actually isn't his fault. That blame belongs to Lou and Jim. I'm with Tim on this, except that I would send down Fontenot and keep Theriot as the back up utility guy. Patterson at 2b and DeRosa at SS is exactly what this team needs. And here is the line up I'd run out there: Soriano Fukudome Lee Ramirez Pie Soto Patterson DeRosa
-
My team is weird. At this point, they have a total of 6 hits on the day, 5 of them are HR's. On the season, 9 hits and 6 of them are HR's. I don't mind the HR's, but hey, how about some singles and doubles instead of outs?
-
Looked like a hit and run and Aramis was caught in a rock and a hard place.
-
Haha. The Dodgers are starting Juan Pierre in Matt Kemp's place tonight. Morons!
-
Juan and I (when we get a chance to breathe) are planning to put together a thread that will contain all the rules in one handy dandy, easy to read format. But, it would certainly help if anyone else wants to help organize all the rules into the thread Juan started, then we can sort them and copy them into one quick reference post that will stickied at the top of the page.

I knew it was a gamble, but it looks like Pedro will be joining RJ on the DL.

Moises Alou: I wouldn't have caught Bartman ball
BigbadB replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Exactly. If Alou doesnt throw a fit and start screaming it doesnt get blown out of proportion nearly as much. I don't have a problem with Alou's reaction. While he can admit he probably wouldn't have caught it, Bartman eliminated any chance of possibly catching it. So, the probability factor went from not likely to catch it to not a chance in hell of catching it. That's got to be pretty frustrating.
