    Quade seems smart enough to realize that he is in over his head and that his days are numbered as a major league manager, so he might be open to returning to a minor league job with the Cubs. I wouldn't be opposed to someone from the Cubs at least approaching him about it before letting him go altogether.

    And now the White Sox are interviewing Mark Parent for bench coach? Are you kidding me? If they want to go the Ventura route and pair him with an experienced bench coach, I could understand that, but putting a manager with no experience together with a guy who has never managed above AA... This just reeks of stupidity, arrogance, or both.

    Can anyone think of a crazier and more exciting night ever in the history of baseball? This was just absolutely crazy and unbelievably entertaining.

    And Tampa gets out of a first and third jam with no outs. Nice!

    Regardless of the outcome of the games, this night has reinforced the awesomeness of MLB Network.

    And his 4.80 ERA...

    If anyone is watching MLB Network... What the hell were the Cardinals chanting?
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    I can't believe the Braves choked that away... and now we have to put up with the Cardinals in the playoffs. Damn you Atlanta! Damn youuuuuu!!!

    With Ramirez stating publicly that he will opt for free agency, does that mean the Cubs will pick up his option, forcing him to decline it and saving the buyout money? I'm really interested to see how this will play out without a GM in place.

    I still prefer the idea of a 3 game series, but I guess the 1 game playoff works much better logistically without disrupting the entire playoff schedule. I don't hate the idea, which is more than I can say for a lot of the things that Selig comes up with.

    Hopefully you aren't a Nielsen family!

    Unless I'm missing something, I don't believe Ramirez even has the right to decline. That is what makes it a "team" option. I think his comments are just assuming that the team won't pick his option up and, since there is no GM in place, he knows that it is unlikely that any negotiations will take place prior to the free agency filing date.

    It's baaaaaaaack. ESPN is showing the strike zone graphic on the screen for every pitch during the Yankees/Rays game. It is annoying, distracting, and was enough for me to turn the channel.

    That is one bad logo.

    Just when you thought it was safe, Jeff George is throwing his hat back into the ring for the Colts QB job... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/breaking/cbsports-exqb-george-i-could-help-colts-20110919,0,48209.story

    I must say I have been impressed with LaHair's approach at the plate and don't think it is impossible that he could be a productive Major League player. If the Cubs bring Ramirez back and then sign a big bat to play 1B or RF, I wouldn't be opposed to giving LaHair a chance to fill the remaining position. Even if he doesn't start, it would be nice to have some left-handed pop off the bench instead of a roster full of middle infielders.

    This is the first I heard of it. The good news is it sounds like he'll be ready to go in the spring and will be content with signing another discounted deal to pitch for the Cubs. They could certainly do a lot worse than Wood as a setup man for somewhere between 1 and 2 million. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-knee-injury-brings-early-end-to-kerry-woods-season-20110919,0,3910478.story

    It was certainly an entertaining segment, although most of it took place in Kap's fantasy land.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Why are they opening so late? Is it another WBC year?
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    They sell polish sausage?
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Look out Brewers, here we come!
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    That would be awesome. I would gladly pay the extra dollar or two for a "premium" beer like at First Midwest Amphitheater.
