Ivy Walls said: "Houston, Cincinnati, Florida, Pittsburgh they will have their call ups and which will be playing for playing time and which will see a surprising star emerge." Remember all the times we lost to rookie pitchers during the Dusty days? The excuse was often something like, 'well, we've never seen this kid before.' That's what frightens me about these got-nothing-to-lose teams.

I didn't pay close attention, but I thought on one of the replays of Pujols' slide into home yesterday, he put his hand on the umpire's (Barrett's) chest during the argument. He didn't push him, but I thought he did make contact. Did anyone else see that and, if so, shouldn't that automatically mean at least three games?

Jose Contreras and Jack Morris? Which one's older?

Steve Phillips of Baseball Tonight....

I saw the name Steve Phillips and I still opened the thread. What an idiot! -
Personally, I consider it child abuse to even dress up your kid in a Cub t-shirt or cap, much less take 'em to the bleachers. I've been warned about the dangers of raising my child as a Cubs fan, but that didn't stop me and now he's ruined. He accepts mediocrity willingly and allows his heart to be broken on a regular basis during the summer. Just like his Pops.

The Cubs have the easiest second half schedule in the NL.

I'm hoping that Brewers - Padres series is a showdown for the wild card. -
Didn't Len say something like people bought tickets because of these promotions. Come on Len. I'm going. I've always wanted a Padre jersey.

Glancing at recent Sox games during commercials, I've heard Harrelson complain about the "teacup" strike zones with which Sox pitchers have had to contend. Today, in the ninth, when the first pitch to Pierzynski is called a strike, Pierzynski gave the body language to show his disagreement. He's a player; that's okay. But Harrelson complains that Sox pitchers haven't had that pitch called their way all day. Geez, give it a rest. Whenever the Sox hit a rough stretch, he almost invariably whines about what he feels is poor and unbalanced balls-and-strikes calls by the home plate ump. Granted, he does lay some blame at the feet of the Sox players, but he whines more than any other broadcaster I've heard. Harrelson, grab some bench.

So, instead of Z putting whip cream on Pierzynski's face and Pierzynski ripping off Z's eyebrow, Barrett can wake each of 'em up with a punch. I'm lovin' it.

At least I can go to the Card and Sox fans' boards and enjoy their misery.

As someone mentioned earlier, Hendry won't be able to pick up big contracts at the deadline. The team won't be sold 'til after the end of the season, so . . by the time the team is sold and the ownership approved by the other owners, any attractive free agents for 2008 will be gone. Good-bye Z, Barrett, . . . We'll be left to sort through the dregs to fill more holes than we have this season. The one season when the Trib opens the purse strings wide open, Sam Zell slams 'em shut.

Those two deserve each other.
