    Molina should race Konerko in a PPV event.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    I was at that game and didn't realize the magnitude of the craziness of that play until I was able to get home and see it on TV. I do remember it feeling like the play lasted an entire minute.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Not at all. One game does not make or break an All-Star bid. He will either make or not make the team based on the entire season, not one game.I completely disagree. There has to be a cutoff point somewhere, and one game can easily make the difference. His ERA went up half a point and his save percentage dropped, so that can definitely break an All-Star bid.
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    I think this was a double whammy today... Wood cost the Cubs the game and cost himself a spot on the All Star team.

    I bought their first CD and used to like them, until I realized that every song sounds exactly the same.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    I had completely forgotten about Kelton. Looking at Wikipedia, it appears he retired in 2006 at the age of 26... sure didn't stick around very long.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    When did this happen? I know he struggled for awhile, but has since started pitching better and been promoted to AAA.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    With everything I've read about Dempster and how much he loves playing in Chicago, I think he would be a good candidate for a hometown discount.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Yep, I find this to be the case for a good majority of Sox fans. Even when the White Sox are playing well, their fans seem more interested in discrediting the Cubs.
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    I hate our middle relief...
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Great outing there.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    But he's left handed.
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    Hank just got ripped pretty good on Baseball Tonight, with the guys pretty much saying that you can't cry for a rule change evertime something goes against the Yankees... but at the end of the segment when asked about the DH rule, they appeared to agree that "there needs to be some type of uniformity." So which is it?
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    I knew this was coming... much the same way instant replay was never seriously considered until a blown call occured in New York. On another note, these comments sound like they are coming from an immature fan, not the chairman of a billion dollar franchise.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3441390 All I can say is don't charge the mound then... Crisp deserved to get hit and had no reason to be out there.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    No.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    What's the pitch count? 106, or something around there. He's over 100. Seems a little strange after Lou just talking about how they wanted to give Dempster some extra rest... If that's the case, why leave him in for a meaningless inning?
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    What's the pitch count?
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    If that pitch had hit anyone else, would it have broken their hand? It seems like anything that could potentially injure Soriano does.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Not sure... I would expect Lou might want to stay with 13 pitchers through the interleague series.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    As much as I have been critical of Soriano and think the Cubs are often a better team without him in the lineup, I think this is a bad time to lose him heading into interleague play. He was a perfect candidate to DH and would have had more opportunities to drive in runs without a pitcher batting in front of him.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    This is thinking really far ahead and making a lot of assumptions, but hey, I don't care... the Cubs should pray that wild card comes out of the Central. If it does, they'll play the NL West champion, which is sure to be weaker than the wild card winner. Yes, I know that's thinking way too far ahead. That's what we though last year, but I really don't want to face Arizona again in a short series.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Is it too early to say that the Wild Card will come out of the NL Central? At this point, I really can't see anyone else putting up a fight. It will probably be between the Cubs, Cardinals, and Brewers for 2 playoff spots.
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    Let's say hypothetically that the Cubs were to convert Marmol to a starter... Would that be the top story on ESPN? Would they even mention it more than a passing comment? I would say the answer to both of those questions is no, yet Marmol is every bit as good as Chamberlain or better, so why is this such a big story?
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't know how closely everyone has been following Greg Maddux this year, but I try to catch his starts on MLB.tv whenever possible. We all know he plays in a pitcher's park, but even with that aside he has looked outstanding the entire season except for one poor start when he took one for the team after the 22 inning game. With tonight's start, he lowered his ERA to 3.33 and left the game with a lead, but San Diego's bullpen gave it up again. I think this is 4 out of the last 5 starts that he has left the game with the lead and not got a win. I hate to see this, as I want to watch him continue to move up the all-time wins list. Does anyone know why he is coming out of games with such low pitch counts (70 tonight)? Is he being pulled for strategic reasons or is he telling Bud Black that he doesn't have anything left? It's obvious that he still has something left in the tank after all these years, but I'd love to see him be able to finish some of these games off.
