  1. 70ty billion ok, i don't know but close to 80-85
  2. Floyd scores from 2nd on a PB/WP. Yup, you win.
  3. Better than the Aram trade? Wow. I've never seen such euphoria for a addition by subtraction trade. yeah, it's hard for me to get too excited about the trade of a guy who should have never been on the team in the first place. maddux for a pirate to be named later and a few months of izturis' crappiness...nice trade, hendry. Just my initial reaction for Izzy being gone. But in reality we traded Maddux for a PTBNL.... ....from the Pirates. meh
  4. BEST.TRADE.EVER. LOL, haven't read a damn thinga bout it. Just know it my heart.
  5. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/giants/2007-07-17-bonds-rest_N.htm Bonds is afraid of LF bleacher bums. Book it.
  6. You're fired. I'll have to counter with my oddly lucky Billy Goat Tavern t-shirt and #16 Alternate Blue jersey (no name) combo.
  7. If they screened the questions properly, we would never hear about how much he hates Wood and Prior questions because he would never receive them. I understand the jaded bit, but I mean come on. If you constantly insult the people who are reading your reports and boo-hooing at every perceived slight by the Cubs organization, who are you doing a service to? I've become convinced that Sullivan's work is largely schtick intentionally designed to give the impression that the Trib isn't providing biased coverage towards the team they in fact own. Just to play devil's advocate on this, say Bruce Miles had his articles published by the Tribune. Would the perception be that his work was biased? Probably not, which goes back to the overall bitterness and some times sensationalistic quality of Paul Sullivan's work. Bruce Miles work is for a different organization. A different organization = different expectations or requirements. I'm not in any way trying to defend the drivel that is usually the tenor of Sullivan's work. I'm simply suggesting that he has his job because the Trib likes his 'unbiased' Cubs coverage. Yes, I would imagine he has a job because the Tribune wants him to. Hard to come to any other conclusion than that. We're talking about him on here, so I guess he would say "you're reading it," and that's the primary job he has: get people to read it. You got us there. We now have a 4 page (and growing) thread on one of his articles. Must now go shower! :lol:

  10. OK, so I'm at the bar watching the game. The stupid bar played music instead of sound, but what do you want in DC? So anyway, as soon as Aram comes up, Sweet Child of Mine starts playing. I got goosebumps. Game ends to Beautiful Day by U2. DESTINY BABY!
  11. Who get's the 8th? Howry, I assume, will get the 9th.
  12. left for a moment, took a shower, put on my billy goat tavern t-shirt and Aram jersey and SEE what happens! Never washing this stuff again.
  13. time to trip over the power cord or accidentally reset the Xbox.......
  14. Yeah, they just showed Lou saying this on the Lead Off Man My TV is on its way to Mozambique. I have to wait for MLBTV to start up. :cry:
  15. another quote from Lou on the switch: Interesting comment on Murton buried in there.
  16. Again, why do people think Soriano hitting 5th is going to do much good? Because he can drive in more runs with people like Fontenot, Lee, and Ramirez hitting in front of him instead of the catcher, Izturis, Pagan, and the pitcher? Amen. With the black holes we have in the 7-9 spots, he comes up more often than not with the bases empty.
  17. Ok, it's Sullivan, but here's some info on Sori's move to the 5-hole http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2007/07/for-sunday-sori.html from Lou
  18. I know. It's so weird to see the manager, you know, um, manage
  19. Just imagine if we had a big LH bat to go with that 3,4,5 combo... =P~ =P~ =P~ A healthy Jr. would make me do bad things in my pants
