FWIW, that should be 2 for 9... Fielder did muck up that one play but they couldn't give him an error for it. -
A bunt by Soto in the 4th inning would be monumentally stupid.
-
DLee does it too.
-
Harden would have to come fairly cheap to justify the cost in talent. He's an amazing pitcher, but he's hardly ever able to get on the field. We can't afford to give up much for such a potential wildcard.
-
At this point, Kenny Lofton is center field is a hilarious proposition.

Yeah, you blew your cover with that one. -

Conventional wisdom has it that a speedy leadoff hitter is an absolute necessity for a good baseball team. Jim Hendry took that information and ran with it, reaching a logical conclusion... "I should acquire Juan Pierre." Of course, Juan Pierre was completely useless, even though he performed exactly as everybody anticipated. The lesson? Logic is only useful when it is guided by good information. And many GMs and managers avoid good information simply as a show of solidarity for their "old school" ways... forcing them to come to logical conclusions that are ineffective or downright detrimental. That makes them dumb. -
I had Jeter and didn't need him... but when he lasted that late, I figured I had to pick him up.

I imagine there's going to be a pretty huge disconnect between informed Cubs fans and the uninitiated on the issue of our closer. Those of us who have bothered to read up on everything aren't concerned about the closing situation, knowing that it doesn't really matter all that much who our "closer" is. In fact, we realize that making Wood our closer frees up Carlos Marmol to come in when it matters, as opposed to riding the pine until the 9th just in case we're up by three runs or less. Casual Cubs fans are going to want to incite a riot... but if they had their way, the Cubs would be slightly worse off.

Fukudome is an ideal "leadoff" hitter. Fukudome Lee Soriano Ramirez Soto Pie DeRosa Theriot Done.
-
Holy [expletive].
-
Dionner Navarro just got caught trying to steal home...
-
Yeah, mainly the guy who started the site though, Adam Foster, though I know a couple of the other writers as well. Do you know me? Of course, Rob, if that is your real name. It might be. It's been so long since I formally addressed myself, that I may have forgotten my name. Colorado jumps out to an early 1-0 lead in StL with runners at 2nd and 3rd with 2 down.

I'd drop Burrell.
-
Ugh. I have him as well. Thank goodness GEOVANY SOTO is still available in my league. Yeah, I just grabbed JR Towles.
-
good thing I took him in about every league I was in Well, it was good while it lasted. 2 for 2, with 1 run and 1 rbi. Not a bad season... :banghead:
-
And Victor Martinez went down hard attempting to take second on a passed ball... that might be the season for my fantasy team.
-
And that'll be Buehrle's day. Seven runs in 1 and 2/3. I prefer the rain delay to watching that sort of performance from our "ace."
-
The good news is that Mark Buehrle has given up 6 runs through 1 and 2/3 so far. That should at least help us get through the rain delay. Edit: Correction. Seven runs in 1 2/3.
-
This is the biggest ticker ever.
-
Pie only swung at one pitch he shouldn't have. And he was right not to swing at strike two. Keep it in perspective, people.
-
Welecome to the Fuku-dome.

Gameday is enormous now. Is there any way to use last year's version?
