    Now, both Spain and Croatia will know that if they draw their match 2-2, they both advance from Group C.

    Only two teams in Euro history have scored in the first 5 minutes of each half of a match: Spain v Ireland in 2012, and....Croatia v Ireland in 2012.

    Besides playing with double the allowed bench, daily positional switches and too many relievers, he's playing by the rules, though.

    That kid is 19! Let me tell you, that is the kind of talent that can bring a franchise back from dead. To put Bryce Harper in perspective...he's 19, too. Yeah, Harper is 46 days older than Baez.

    They've also been talking about wanting him to get a full seasons worth of at-bats at AAA. He's currently played 153 games at AAA, so he needs 9 more games to get to 162. June 22 is in 9 days. Do they have 9 games the next 9 days? :shock: 1. No, they have 8 2. Rizzo didn't play today, anyway. However, the timing of the end of IL play is convenient for the front office, because they can play up that angle and play down the free agency year angle by bringing him up the 22nd.

    Well, since you asked, it probably involves Michigan, and since it's worth asking, it probably involves a Michigan rivalry. So I'll go with Michigan-MSU.

    104 days before the end of the season comes out to June 22, the day after IL play ends. That's an extremely convenient coincidence.

    Mexico scores again to go up 2-1 in El Salvador, and that could just about do it for El Salvador's chances for the hex (since they already lost at Costa Rica).
  9. bukie
    Both teams got hosed, and the Cubs ended up on top!
  10. bukie
    El Salvador just equalized with Mexico midway through the 2nd half. Hex could be more difficult than usual this cycle, especially with Panama looking good.

    Looks like Poland is bunkering the rest of this game and taking their chances they'll beat the Czech Republic.

    I wonder how Seattle feels about this whole NBA Finals business...
  13. bukie
    Poland really doesn't care for Russia.

    What gets me is the number of people who think the only two sides to this argument are a 100 loss team or a playoff contender, and anyone who doesn't think one must think the other.

    Rizzo is bored with your minor league pitching. http://www.milb.com/images/2012/06/11/mQ7YDSXj.jpg

    Jim Hendry says hi. It remains one of the things that irritated me the most about his reign. More so than his change in organizational philosophy every 6 months, or the system's complete inability to develop positional players and keep pitchers healthy?
  18. bukie
    Yeah, it's wise to not get too caught up in results, especially at lower levels of development. There are always adjustment periods and specific developments.
  19. bukie
    What? Ethier is one of the premier outfielders in the league, and the Dodgers are wise to lock him up long term and pay him like the premier outfielder that he is...
  20. bukie
    Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
  21. bukie
    Everyone's a critic.
  22. bukie
    So, when none of that worked out, should the first response have been to question the organizational development strategy (of which there apparently was none)?
  23. bukie
    Very true. And that's pretty much what Goldstein said a little bit ago. He said he could see the Cubs getting a top 10 organizational guy for Dempster, which would obviously be great. Top 10 organizational guy? As in top 10 in the organization. Can't tell whether that would mean our organization or the trading one, but I'd guess the latter. Which would be good, unless they're trading him to the White Sox.
  24. bukie
    Here's what my thoughts are, at this time (assuming the top 10 picks all sign with the Cubs): 1. Rizzo 2. Baez 3. Soler 4. Almora 5. Jackson 6. Szczur 7. Castillo 8. Lake 9. Hernandez 10. Vitters 11. Johnson/Underwood/Blackburn/McNutt
  25. bukie
    An interesting question at this point is whether there is a single pitcher in the Cubs' top 10 right now.
