I would go into shock if that happens. And I thought I was near heart failure last night.
-
Certainly possible. But we're down to 20 minutes. And if Selig has to approve of a deal, then its looking increasingly unlikely.

My thoughts exactly. A prospect and paying 90% of his salary > getting nothing and paying 100% of his salary Haha, exactly. The thing is, that is OUR perception of Jones' value. Hendry, on the other hand, may (probably does) perceive his value much higher. If Hendry thinks that Jones is worth a top 10 prospect in their organization, he's not gonna get it (i think). Its finding that break-even point (to steal from managerial accounting).

Top of the 9th. It was during the Howry mess. I think there were no outs or 1 out. The Rocky batter pointed at the sideline and then the Comcast camera spotted him and he was running at the direction of Howry. The Cubs infield approached. The fan came from the Rocky side of the field and about 5 security personnel came running. I didn't know at first if they were other crazy fans or security personnel. But of one of them absolutely clotheslined the person right in front of the mound. The Comcast cameras gave us a perfect view of the thing for about 5 seconds or so. I thought it was a bat boy, which would be perfect, but I've been drinking. The Cubs do that to you.

Sign Negro League players to MLB contracts!
DurbanJer replied to OleMissCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Shoulda done it on Jackie Robinson Day this year. Meanwhile, we have the arrogant Veteran's Committee refusing to add anyone to the HOF. No offense to Santo, but O'Neil should go first. -
Cubs bringing Cotts back up soon?
DurbanJer replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
How many of those games were already blowouts when he came in (hence, why he was allowed to pitch)? Oh, definitely part of the issue in that spot stat. But if he's been relegated to blowout duty, well that's a heck of a lot of money to pay for a guy who's only role is mop up. -

Cotts up, Pagan down?? Doesn't make sense. What do we do with Scott Eyre here? He's taking up a roster spot, but not pitching (though it's debatable if he's actually 'pitching' when he does get into the game). I checked his game log. He's not been in since the 20th (4 days). Before that, the 17th. In June he's got 5 appearances. And here's the kicker, the Cubs are 1-9 in the last ten games in which he's appeared. -
that's gotta be a lock

Griffey to Cubs?
DurbanJer replied to MajikRat's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
An offensive upgrade to either RF or SS would significantly improve this team. An upgrade to both would be great, but I'm not holding my breath. I suspect RF would be easier to upgrade (cost and available players) over SS. -
Get those guys an AC and a space heater for crying out loud! I knew the Cubs were cheap, but DamN!
-
I thought the scroed was where Z's punches landed??
-
God, we need a new SS.

Saw Maroth on Monday here in DC against the Nationals. I wasn't very impressed. He had an 8-1 lead and proceeded to completely unravel - walking 4 and allowing 6 hits in 5 innings of work. He couldn't locate his fastball and all his offspeed stuff was worse. And we're talking the Nationals! Detroit IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA Maroth (W, 5-2) 5.0 6 5 4 2 4 0 5.06
-
I love that
-
I have an eerie feeling of confidence right now. I think this inning goes well for Cubs. If not punch yourself. I will, if you agree to punch yourself if the inning does go well :D I'd punch myself silly if it got us a world series
-
June Lee has been better than May Lee. OPS .943 in June vs .841 in May. note to self. Get facts 100% straight before posting. Point being, he's cooled off from a very hot start. But, point is taken and is hope for future.
-
I want April Lee back. I don't like June Lee

I am watching your house now with my little google. :lol: There are so many ways I could go with that....................I'm just going to pass :) You and me both!
