  1. It's their 25th anniversary. The White Sox honored the South Side Hitmen a while back and they didn't even make the playoffs. The '69 team is honored endlessly by us. By us as in fans. We haven't done anything officially with them have we?
  2. Why are the brewers honoring a team that didn't win it all? They are trying so hard to make this season more special than it really is.
  3. No, he's better because he is better.
  4. Just write to your boy Murton care of the Cubs. He will sign, hell he will probably even personalize it.
  5. I don't think we have much of a chance. Of course our two most productive hitters are hurt. Or course our GM handicapped us with not improving the team at the dealine. Instead he lessened it by sending Soto out. Unreal. sending soto out? he got traded? huh? um, but no seriously... EVERYBODY FRIGGIN GO OUTSIDE TONIGHT AND WISH UPON THE BLOODY SHOOTING STARS PLEASE we need some magic Nah we traded him to Iowa. I see Fox hit three homers, we might wanna try him. Homers are nice.
  6. Exactly. I expected a split here, it was the disaster in Houston that killed us. Felix is pulling off everything right now. Well at least Ward put a charge into that ball, it will be nice having him back again. Yep we need a little more wtp. Ward has been very good this year for his role. Besides that's harder than Lee has hit a ball in a couple of weeks. The same Lee who has found his power? Sure this last week wasn't great for him, but before that he was stinging the ball.
  7. I can't live with either. I don't like looking up at St. Louis. Which of course hasn't happend yet. It will, by next week. It may, but to just give in like it's already happened seems like an extremely weak attitude. It's like fighting death. You can only hold them off for so long, before some career minor leaguer carries them to greatness.

  10. I'll take GlenAllen Hill with good RF defense, that's pretty much Soriano. ok, that's not completely fair because Hill was platooned but he was a useful player. I didn't realize how good Hill was during his "peak" years (which oddly came from about age 31-35). I sure hope Ankiel is never putting up an OPS+ around 125-135. He will. He plays for God's team. :pukel:

  13. Well, our two best power hitters are hurt. Our best cather is playing everyday, for Iowa. Jim Hendry decided to stay pat at the deadline. I hope when the cardinals pass us Jockety thanks him for that one.
  14. no matter how i prepare myself...i am still never going to be ready for that slap in the face It started with ankiel. it just isn't right, but it will happen.
  15. Give it a couple more weeks and the cardinals will have this division.
  16. fielder goes yard. God hates the cubs.
  17. astros announcers think he might win rookie of the year.
  18. come on braun kill us one more time.
  19. strike zone disappeared in houston now.
  20. It was terrible. Bam bam plays are tough that wasnt bam bam. No murton beat it easily. Then the ump smirked at murton.
  21. weeks bunts. they get the runner at third.
