    Court appearance on Friday... that's all they had.
  2. Rob
    By the way... I can't get the image of Castillo sitting around in county lockup still in full uniform and being asked "what are you in for?"
  3. Rob
    Coming up on Baseball Tonight, apparently. Wonder if they'll have any more news on the charges.
  4. Rob
    Felix Pie is 3-3 with a triple and a walk so far tonight, and Micah Hoffpauir has hit a grand slam for Iowa. They're up 10 - 5 in the 6th.
  5. Rob
    Hopefully Samardzija pitches well enough to take Marquis' rotation spot.
  6. Rob
    I'm still not quite sure how Aramis stole 2nd successfully... on a pitchout, no less.
  7. Rob
    the hell?
  8. Rob
    Nice catch, DeRo...

    Cody Ross (career) vs. RHP - .246/.308/.439 vs. LHP - .291/.353/.618 I support the move to bring in Howry.
  10. Rob
    Vitters sitting out tonight too. :banghead:

    The cute girl in the middle there was my best friends' sister.

    Dan Haren cost 6 players...
  13. Rob
    Under contract through 2010... 08:$10M, 09:$14.25M, 10:$15.75M That'd be over $30 mil we'd be taking on... which I just can't see Hendry doing with the ownership situation in flux. We could get the Blue Jays to pick up some of the tab, but it'd cost us even more than it already would in talent. Vitters, Ceda, Pie, Hill, Cedeno, and maybe even some guy like Rundle for Halladay + 7 mil?
  14. Rob
    I'd rather he didn't get called up. Knowing this organization, if he pitched well out of the bullpen, he'd probably be stuck there for the next few years.
  15. Rob
    Hill and Samardzija going tomorrow, I assume? Should be an interesting day if that's the case.
  16. Rob
    I suspect the percentage of OHers that overvalue O's players is not particularly dissimilar to the percentage of NSBBers that overvalue Cub players. That's probably true. But our board has the good sense to aggressively mock people with stupid opinions, which acts as an ignorance prophylactic of sorts and cuts down on the completely outlandish trade scenarios. They're too polite over there, and it results in people actually spreading their stupid opinions to others.
  17. Rob
    Most of OH thinks they should get Rasmus and maybe more for George Sherrill... :blink: :lol:
  18. Rob
    Lou was sending Aramis... since we all know that everybody must be in motion on 3-2 counts, regardless of how many outs there are, or who the baserunner is. Doug Davis picked him off first.
  19. Rob
    Great call there, Lou...

    New Mods

    Rob replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    And which mod is my case worker?
  21. Rob
    I already regret asking... By whom?
  22. Rob
    Sometime around AA or AAA, hitters should be able to square around on his heat if they know it's coming all the time... but your point still stands. It was mistake enough drafting a reliever in the first round. We really shouldn't exacerbate the mistake by fast-tracking him at the expense of some long-term effectiveness.

    If memory serves, Joey Devine was brought up the year he was drafted. Cashner could conceivably be brought up to provide a handful of innings at the end of Sept, but I don't think anybody is counting on a meaningful contribution. is he already on the 40-man? I don't recall him getting a major league contract, so I doubt it. But Harben probably doesn't have much more time left on the 40 man.

    Has anybody else been thoroughly unimpressed with Rich Harden's bat so far?
