If Maddux wins his next start, does an 8-4 record get him into the All-Star game? I'd love to see him back there again, I just can't help rooting for the guy.

Your car analogy doesn't apply to the situation. Try this one: If you bought a car and it broke down and ended up being unrepairable, would you let it sit in your garage taking up space that could be better used by one of your other cars? Or if you had an offer to give you a small amount of money to get rid of that car, wouldn't you take it even though it may be well below what you owe? -
Anyone else think the Marlins are just trying to hold Hendry hostage up against the deadline of tonight's game and squeeze as much money out of him as possible?
-
Sad indeed. I avoid Murph like the plague.
-
Not very.
-
The Blackhawks had nothing to do with this.
-
It is when you consider that nobody else on the roster can play SS for more than an emergency fill-in role... which means it's going to be all Izturis all the time.
-
This is an absolutely horrible decision. Now we have Izturis at SS every day for at least the next 10 days.

From a 6/25 Paul Sullivan article... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-070625cubsbits,1,7362179.story?coll=cs-home-headlines Sounds a little overly optimistic, but it's at least good to hear that he's going to start throwing again.
-
So who goes down tomorrow if Jones doesn't get traded? I think it would have to be Pie, and that sucks...
-
So was tonight's run from 2nd base to home the farewell tour for Jacque Jones? Will he be gone by tomorrow night when the Cubs call up another pitcher?
-
Never any doubt.
-
Apparently because nobody will take Jacque Jones. The Cubs and Lou Piniella are pretty much hamstrung due to multiple bad signings.
-
This team is so frustrating...
-
For what it's worth, I Just heard on ESPN 1000 that Kerry Wood has a bullpen session scheduled for tomorrow.
-
Hawk needs to let it go. In order for it to matter, the Sox offense would still have to be capable of scoring a run.
-
They haven't. And therein lies the problem. rather than think about it in a somewhat intelligent manner, hawk just decides that the umpires want to award the game to the cubs. Of course, the umpires hate the White Sox and always cost them games, didn't you know that?
-
and then punched him in the face
-
Hawk says the protest will be overturned, whatever that means. I can't stand announcers who are blinded by their bias.
-
Reminds me of the Mets lineup in the final game of the series earlier this year... and we all remember what happened in that game.

Players who have no business being in the majors
Irrelevant Dude replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think he's trying harder because he wants to be traded and knows nobody wants him. He's screwed either way. If he gets traded, it's likely going to mean somebody wanted a part time player. If he stays, he gets to hear it from the Chicago fans for 1.5 more seasons, and he probably will still end up a part time player. Let this be a lesson to players of MLB. If you can't take criticism and jeering when you underperform your pay, don't bother asking the Cubs for a contract. Just because the GM is an idiot and thinks you're worth 6M a year doesn't mean the fans will agree. I honestly don't see an ounce of effort out of him. He goes up there looking to make the quickest out possible. It's not that Jones isn't trying, but his body language appears to be that of a player who is expecting to make an out everytime he comes to the plate. At this point, he has absolutely no value to a team, so the best we can probably hope for is an injury along with an extended rehab stint. -
Will you be cheering when Sammy hits #600?
Irrelevant Dude replied to JonnyRed's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
There will be no cheering here, but if I had to choose one I would prefer to see Sammy hit 600 over Bonds hitting 755. -
Here's where we find out that Chris Young called him a cottonheaded ninnymuggins.
-
To blindly dismiss it as a possibility is just ignorant. Ivy league grads from Texas are never racist, right?Unless there is evidence of racist comments, it's not fair to Chris Young for someone to "blindly" suggest it.
-
Derrek Lee's version of the fight supposedly coming on WGN Radio within the next 30 minutes.
