Mets acquire Luis Castillo
OleMissCub replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
this could be big news for my cousin Matt Tolbert, plays middle infield for the AAA Twins organization. edit: nevermind, they called up Alexi Casilla to fill Castillo's slot at 2nd. -
Aram, Arod, Tejada around the horn. Plug them in wherever. Oh good lord, haha. That's a pipe dream of course, but an infield of Aram, Arod, Tejada, and Lee would probably the most powerful infield the history of baseball has ever seen.
-
I'd do Pie for Tejada. Although if we have a bonafide chance to get A-Rod, I'm not sure if we should invest in Tejada.

On my blackberry, what's score

negative. Nothing could ever be worse than that walk-in win for the Mets.

sarcasm? that was brutal. he about tripped over his feet and then overdove by about six inches. ??? Sure you didn't see the replay? the ball was about two feet to his left. the field conditions probably had something to do with it, but that's a play that should have been made. Didn't see the replay, but the fact that he had to leap and extend his body and still maintained getting a glove on it was good enough.

Good save A-Ram

Encarnacion videogame'd that ball. Watch the hometown cooking reds field crew make them call the game now that they have the lead after the 5th.

File this in the "he's not that good so who cares category", but I think it's worth mentioning at least. Was listening to the game on XM a second ago and on the Reds broadcast Brennaman was talking about how before the game, the Reds manager was outlining next week's pitching rotation and intentionally left out Lohse's name. He did it very deliberately and the Reds press kinda got the hint. So, whatever.

Depends on whether the Phils think they are totally going to be out of it now or not and depends on what they'd like to get out of Rowand. If they keep Rowand till the end of the season and he goes somewhere else in the free agency, I believe they get some compensation picks in next year's draft. So it's whether they think what we could give them would be more valuable than those compensation picks.
-
Exactly, and it's not like we'd be losing our second baseman; Mark DeRosa is our second baseman. Fontenot has just gotten a ton of playing time there on account of using a versatile DeRosa as a plug for other injured slots, etc.
-
Burrell? I said valuable... Aaron Rowand is a free agent at the end of the season. Be nice to have him come our way. Send Fontenot, Jock/Pagan, and Petrick/Wuertz their way. I hope you are being sarcastic. Trading our 2B, CF, and a decent relief pitcher for a 2 month rental of Aaron Rowand doesn't make sense even though I'm a big Rowand fan. I'm not being sarcastic. How many chances do the Cubs have to win like we are now. This is a special season, like 2003.

Which banned players should be in the HOF?
OleMissCub replied to OleMissCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, I remember hearing the same thing, I believe in Ken Burns' documentary and book. The Cobb/Speaker/Wood/Leonard scandal is still a bit of a mystery. But it seems like it stemmed from a common occurrence back in those days, something called "good fellowship" games that often occurred near the end of a season. Back then, teams that finished second and third in the standings also got a share of the World Series money. In this particular case, Speaker and Wood's Indians had already clinched 2nd place while Cobb's and Leonard's Tigers were battling the Yankees for a third place finish and thus a share of the WS money. The story goes that the 4 met under the bleachers before the final game of the series where Speaker and Wood told Cobb "not to worry about anything." Leonard was a pitcher for the Tigers who was subsequently cut by Cobb, who was a manager then. Leonard then went to Cleveland, where Speaker managed, and was cut by him. So 7 years later he approached the MLB with this information and didn't even hide his motive: he wanted revenge on Cobb and Speaker. But ya, the incident is still unclear.
