    Those were funny times... all the pundits talking about how we were going to struggle the rest of the season on the road-heavy schedule.

    There was a meeting with an arbitrator on Sept. 10th... but from what I understand, there was too much material to be covered in one day, and they were going to work on getting another date scheduled... which could take weeks.

    Two things... 1) Hack Wilson is a goofy looking guy. 2) How the hell does The Rocket get on the all-douchebag team over Carl Mays?

    Trade Lilly, DeRosa, and Wuertz to the Mets for Beltran, Moviel, and cash. Trade Marquis + the cash to cover 80% of his salary for whatever flawed prospect some team is willing to give us. Re-sign Demp and Wood. Exercise Harden's option. Let everybody else walk. C - Soto 1B - Lee 2B - Fontenot 3B - Ramirez SS - Theriot LF - Soriano CF - Beltran RF - Fukudome SP1 - Zambrano SP2 - Harden SP3 - Dempster SP4 - Marshall SP5 - Samardzija CL - Wood RP - Marmol RP - Guzman And the rest of the usual suspects in the pen and off the bench.

    Today's crowd is awesome.

    That was CRUSHED.
  7. Rob
    So... That was awesome.

    In Philly, Jeff Suppan has been pulled in the 4th with the bases juiced and 2 outs. Philly up 6-0 and Chase Utley at the plate.

    Scratch that... the Bourn at bat had him hitting 96-98 in all 4 pitches.

    Gameday has Z hitting as high as 95 already.

    No feed in bloomington? And for some reason, I can't even get the Brewers game on Extra Innings...

    Why can't people just let lineup order debates die a slow death?

    That's probably what I would do as well. I wouldn't give him more than two years guaranteed and I wouldn't want to pay him a ton right away because of his injury history. The incentives work well because it would allow him to make more money if he stays healthy. I wouldn't want to give him more than 10M/year even with incentives, though. Just not worth it for a closer. I don't think we can bring him back if we're much lower than 10M/year. And while I hesitate to pay that much to a reliever... it's Wood. I'd like to keep him in a Cubs uni his whole career.

    Normally, given his price tag, injury history, and our available replacement options for a relatively unimportant position... I'd let a guy like him walk, pocket a couple draft picks, and move on with my life. But, this is Kerry Wood... and that makes things different. Two years, $15 mil total base, with an extra $10 mil in incentives and a third year vesting option at $12 mil or so.

    Terrible call.

    A groundball hit right at the SS and to the 3rd base side of him... He shouldn't have been running there. As soon as Lilly goes, he absolutely needs to be running. That's extremely routine Whether Izturis had the arm to get Lilly at the plate was questionable... he definitely would have been able to get Soriano going to 3rd. No, when Sori had a chance to go was after Izturis threw the ball... and lord knows that if Molina had side stepped and tagged Lilly instead of standing his ground, he still would have had the time to throw him out at 3rd. Sori played it safe... which is exactly what we need to be doing on the basepaths.

    ? St. Louis is down only 4 in the WC race, I want them done with. I just want to get into the playoffs, I don't care if its the Wildcard or Divison. Well, I imagine you care about wildcard vs division... just not nearly so much as you care about playoffs vs. yost's october tee times.
  20. Rob
    It doesn't matter if you're watching Carlos Beltran and Adam Jones out there... Pie might have the best natural range in the league.
  21. Rob
    Holy hell... nice.
  22. Rob
    Real freaking smart, Lou.
  23. Rob
    That was a pitchout.
  24. Rob
    Bunting here is stupid.
  25. Rob
    I'm a little surprised not to see Colvin, Rundle, or Burke considering the paths their seasons took.
