  1. Ankiel just drove in another run for the Cardinals, 3-0.
  2. At least he's a great leadoff hitter. Oh wait...
  3. I'm a huge Kerry Wood fan and I want him back, but I don't really think he fits into the Cubs bullpen long-term. Dempster has done a good job as Closer and Marmol is right behind him to take over as the future closer if he slips. I can't see Dempster moving into the starting rotation when all 5 starters have been solid this year. Howry has the setup role locked down, so is Wood really worth a couple million dollars a year as a middle reliever with questionable durability? I'm sure there are teams out there who will be willing to take a chance on him as long as he makes it through the rest of the year healthy, so it would have to be another case of Wood taking a hometown discount to stay with the team. I hope that happens, but I'm not confident that it will...
  4. What about Koyie Hill?
  5. I agree with this. I miss the days of being able to catch a game on ESPN or ESPN2 that didn't involve one of the top 4 or 5 big-market teams. Yeah I know, we can subscribe to MLB.TV if we want to see the other games, but it's not the same. It would be nice to see every team guaranteed some small number of nationally televised games.
  6. Yes, I'm also concerned... not so much for this year, but next year. As we've seen in the past, relievers often don't show the effects of being overused until the following year.
  7. :lol: Why?Because he has 'Jump' as his themesong when he comes to the plate. That just isn't right!
  8. Don Sutton won at least 10 games a year for 15 consecutive years, not 21. Yeah but didn't he win 10 in 21 seasons? Total, yes. Consecutive, no. The Cy Young record he broke was for consecutive seasons, not total.Right, but I meant next year he should get his 21st season. Which would tie him with Don Sutton. And possibly pass Clemens on the overall win list.
  9. All he ever does is nibble.... Slider, slider, slider, slider.
  10. Does Lee just want to go home or what?
  11. I just noticed... Is that Harlan Williams on the mound?
  12. Scary rattlesnake sounds. Consider me scared.
  13. What is that horrible noise that sounds like cicadas?
  14. twice tonight. So start the presses back up, then stop them again!
  15. I just can't get enough of seagulls eating garbage off the field on the Brewers/Giants broadcast. Anyway, still 9-6 Giants in the 6th.
  16. So what are the chances the Cubs will have anyone get to 25 HR this year? I've never seen so many home run hitters who can't hit home runs.
  17. Derrek Lee's 2nd half vs. Jacque Jones' 1st half... Discuss.
  18. I know. I feel dirty now, gonna go hop in the shower.
  19. And just like that, the Cubs will cut the opposing pitchers to Cubs hitters home run deficit to 1.
  20. Lowry survives an inning without giving up a run... and there was much rejoicing.
