    Whether he swings away or squares around, it's going to be a bunt like it or not.

    First Lou Brock, then Greg Maddux... Now this.

    Something to shoot for.

    Cubs lose 2 out of 3 to the Royals. Tip your cap.

    I haven't seen any of the calls you're talking about 'cause I'm reduced to radio today..... but Timmons and Cooper (1st & 3rd base umpires) are both 12 year veterans. I would expect better of them. It was more of a general comment really about calls over the past few weeks. I never saw a replay of the LeMahieu swing, but it appeared to be a borderline call.

    There have been a lot of questionable strike calls on checked swings lately. If in doubt, the umpires seem to be calling them strikes more often than not.

    I haven't really thought this through, but they almost need to make the NBA draft 3 rounds. Round 1: Teams can pick from the pool of both college and foreign players Round 2: Teams can only pick college players Round 3: Teams can only pick foreign players

    From what I've heard, it wasn't so much his call to leave Illinois, though. Yep, I think he was leaving either way, but they just let him save some face by making it look like his call.

    Have there been any updates on Cashner's status?

    I haven't ever been the biggest Zambrano fan, but I don't see any purpose whatsoever to dealing him as a salary dump. First of all, his contract isn't that bad. Yes, he has a lot of money on the books for the next few years, but he is also still a very productive starting pitcher. Secondly, who are the Cubs going to replace him with? Why dump salary to leave a gaping hole that you need to spend more money to fill? There is clearly nobody in the minor league system who is ready to step into the rotation at any point in the near future. Unless someone is willing to pay his salary and send something in return, I don't see any reason to consider a trade.

    Spectacular defense on display once again.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    And just when he had cracked the .100 mark too!

    "Neither team deserved the title any more than the other" Uhh... I think the team that won it did. He really said that? :lol: I may not have quoted it word for word, but yep, that is what he said. He really came across sounding like someone who felt his team was entitled to win the championship, but he stated that maybe this was their "rite of passage".

    Miami completely gave up, I love it. You could argue that fouling to extend the game probably wouldn't have made any difference in the outcome, but the Heat sure didn't even give themselves a chance. What character that team has. I still think they will eventually win multiple championships, but for one season it was great to watch them fail.

    You really think Brewer fans can afford Wrigley ticket prices? Pretty sure they can afford the $5 that the Cubs fans are selling their tickets for.

    And Quade can manage with the worst of em.

    It is going to be a very ugly summer attendance-wise. They should get a small bump with kids being out of school, but by August and September I expect games with fewer than 10,000 fans in the seats.

    A fire sale needs to begin with one man and one man only. Jim Hendry... You built this mess, your time is up.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    When save opportunities are so hard to come by, it really sucks to have your closer implode. This is just a bad, bad team.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Tip your cap.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Since there probably aren't a lot of other 3B options, I would be ok with bringing Aramis back for 4-5 million to hit 6th or 7th. Whether Aramis would be ok with that is another story.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    This is what I fear... Ricketts deciding to give Hendry yet another year because the injuries were out of his control, ignoring the fact that the lack of depth in the system has been exposed at almost every position.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Hendry better not survive past this season... I can already see him being given yet another year because the "injuries weren't his fault."

    Have the 2011 Cubs won more than 2 in a row yet?
