  1. Why didn't the Cubs just cut Izturis if they wanted to open up a roster spot? Because this way they save a couple hundred thousand and presumably get some sort of asset in the form of a PTBNL. Yeah, might as well get something back. Look how Fontenot has turned out for the Cubs after coming over as filler in the Sosa trade. Look how A ball prospect Dontrelle Willis turned out for Florida. You never know, it worth getting something back in return. Not so well recently.
  2. I was very happy with his performance yesterday. I think he can contend for the rotation pretty soon. Maybe a year or so.
  3. Sweet! Start getting rid of those empty roster spots! Thank you PIRATES!

  5. Grienke > Dotel Both have been pitching well recently though.
  6. I really hope this doesn't happen.
  7. That is so awesome, I don't even have any words for it. WOW, I loved that game to pieces.
  8. Is that really bad? Zito is a flyball pitcher isn't he?
  9. Well these stats have to be wrong, because Barrett was hurting the pitchers and now he's gone so they have to be doing better. :pig:
  10. That was incredibly awesome. Thank you! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
  11. Weird fishbowl effect isn't it?
  12. It's kind of an Albert Pujols hate. I hate him for being so good, and yet have to respect his talent at the same time.
  13. I'm coming to the conclusion Barrett was our biggest problem the past 2 years. Notice our record since Barrett departed and notice the Padres record when Barrett starts. It's not good for the Padres. I assume your stance is based on the fact that Barrett is a worse catcher, and hurts his pitchers. In which case, can we get Fred to compare pitching stats before and after the trade of Barrett?
  14. This was really embarrassing. Especially on national TV. I was none too happy.
  15. What a pointless series of trades. I'd rather have just kept Barrett. He's MUCH more likely to have a better second half than Singles McKendall. This was a deal to make a deal.
  16. Can't wait until they play Celtic FC. Heh.

  18. Rotoworld has it, 15 days indeed. Brewers placed RHP Ben Sheets on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 15, with a sprained right middle finger. The Brewers haven't updated his condition, but it seems they didn't like whatever the MRI on Sheets' finger revealed. Yovani Gallardo is expected to claim the open spot in the rotation. Jul. 16 - 3:59 pm et
  19. Vastly overrated. Let the Bankees overspend for him later.
  20. I propose that we self-flagellate ourselves in front of Wrigley if Hendry trades for him.
