    Jacque would have been nailed there if it was a decent throw.
  2. Rob
    That was awkward looking.
  3. Rob
    Floyd...
  4. Rob
    Ill-advised throw by Pie.
  5. Rob
    Mackowiak just smacked himself in the face with that one.
  6. Rob
    I really want to see the hit and run right now.
  7. Rob
    Matt Murton really needs to be playing every day.
  8. Rob
    Does anybody know if mlb.com is doing their Gameday thing? I can't find it on their site right now.

    Who's in RF for the Sox?

    This is Pagan's age 25 season and PECOTA thinks he'll hit .278/.342/.426 with plus defense. It sees a slight bump in growth over the next five seasons, but what we see is basically what we get. This will be Andino's age 23 season and PECOTA thinks he'll hit .245/.294/.346. And he's not expected to get much better over the next five either. When neither of two players performs well (and that's all this was... two years ago we would have been begging for Pagan to play over CPatt) I'd rather hold on to the player with an actual major league ceiling.

    Bruce, do you have any info on who Jim might be looking at acquiring through a trade or on the waiver wire if they decide against going with Perez or Cedeno?
  12. Rob
    I've been scared about this ever since I got the impression we were looking for another MI. I'm just hoping we get one before Neifi is made available.
  13. Rob
    I find it surprising this thread keep growing, considering I don't see anything happening until the offseason (if at all).

    I've said it before; I'll say it again. If we're going for Braves infielders, I want Yunel Escobar.
  15. Rob
    I'd like to trade Mariotti for a sportswriter to be named later.
  16. Rob
    If we're looking at Braves players to fill a utility hole, I should hope we take a nice long look at Yunel Escobar.
  17. Rob
    Throw in Wade Miller and it would make sense to me.
  18. Rob
    Ianetta is pretty highly regarded as a catching prospect and is worth using as a starter right now. I'm just surprised they didn't want lopez as a backup.

    The question of Jones versus Pie is a "this year" or "next year" argument. There's no doubt this is a flawed team still. And it would take everything going right to take this team from last to first. The rest of the NL Central must falter, and our own team has to overcome a myriad of issues to allow us to win the division crown this season. Is it possible? Certainly. The NL Central is undeniably weak, and early returns on some of our more pressing issues have been promising. The team, and perhaps most notably Cesar Izturis, have been walking at a much improved rate from previous seasons. Our bullpen looks solid, and the starting pitchers have almost all been doing well. Personally, I lean towards keeping Jones and making a run at it this season. He can most likely be more useful this season than Pie. However, we are not historically lucky as Cubs fans. I understand the desire to go ahead and trade off Jones and give Pie a year to adjust to MLB pitching. If we are not in the position we think we are, and are more like the 2005 Mets, in being much improved after a big spending spree but still a year away, it would be folly to not hand the job over to Pie. If Jones and the team falter, we could always bring up Pie and play him in right through the rest of the season.

    Not even XM? This is the first game to be this way. Maybe Bruce can provide PBP. I checked the XM schedule and there's nothing there about it.

    Bill Buckner
  22. Rob
    Plenty of ground balls. Plenty of contact in general. He really needs to keep the ball down or he's gonna be in deep trouble.
  23. Rob
    I went with the MyFi and a pair of really old computer speakers. It's not quite as nice as the boombox, but I can take it anywhere with me.
  24. Rob
    No bathroom breaks, Vance. This is serious stuff. Wear an astronaut diaper next time. I just keep an empty gatorade bottle laying around.

    Unless I'm reading the espn chat wrong, Illinois made it into the tourney as a 12 seed.
