I believe Padilla hit hit once earlier in the season as well. Wasn't he on the mound, with the Angels, during the playoffs when AJP pulled that fake "I didn't strikeout" move then reached 1B? Padilla has a long memory.

Haha, in before the lock!

I'm telling you not to hold your breath on a the Cubs/Sox trade. BTW, I doubt that there would be a consensus about a Sox trade within the Cubs organization because of the PR component. I also doubt the Cubs will conceed this season. Hendry is pointing to getting his players back from the DL. Frankly, I don't think Eyre and Howry are going anywhere. If a trade is completed it will be to move low level or extra players (Perez, Rusch, Nevin, Mabry, etc), soon to be FA like Maddux, or to add an impact player (if the team gets hot).

Correction, YOU hate their guts. I'd trade with them in a heartbeat if it was a good trade. A good trade is a good trade is a good trade reguardless of who its with. (The exception to this rule being certain interdivision trades) And if the deal turns out to be a Garland for Karchner deal, with the Cubs getting the short end of the stick, do you want to deal w/ moronic Sox fans shoving it down your throat?? Frankly, I wouldn't care. I don't care about the White Sox. I never have. I don't root for them, I don't root against them. Why should I hate them? They are in the American League, not the National League. I'll save my enmity for teams that matter to the Cubs, and their chances of making a playoff game. Oh, and that enmity extends to people, as well. Jim Hendry, for example. To be fair, its a little tougher when you actually live here in Chicago, but that said, I generally agree with what you wrote. It's a lot different when you live here. I would not be willing to trade with the Sox to help them, possibly, repeat as champions for some guys that might or might not make the Cubs competitive next year (or down the road). Howry and Erye are the type of guys they are missing in their bullpen and could be the thing that puts them over the top (again). I wouldnt do it and I doubt Hendry would either. After all, Kenny Williams has been outspoken about his desire to not play second fiddle to the Cubs; he's said he knows they need to repeat and or be a strong contender for years to come to affect change in their local popularity. I don't see the Cubs aiding him in that process (no matter what they may get in return). If the Cubs seriously consider trading one or both of them, there are other teams to consider...

The funny part is that Reinsdorf asked to have Quest Tec installed (Cooper knows that so he can't complain too loudly). Buehrle on the other hand, just likes to complain...

Sweeney is also quoted as saying that he spoke with Grimsley and was told that he didn't mention any names. That sounds to me like Grimsley told the Feds everything out of fear but now he's trying to keep face with friends and former teammates. In which case, Sweeney has no real idea of what is or isn't true. Link

Cincy shuts it down in the ninth to win 8-7

It was a blast!

The ball must have skipped away. lol

Bare Bare!

with two out and Felipe Lopez up to bat Lopez singled and it's tied at 2

Now the Reds have the bases loaded against Soupcan

Maddux doesn't have a NTC. Tribune

Murton has looked very bad today.

Dare I say, the best fans in baseball? Please don't

Matt looking confused...

Come on Murt!

Otto just reported on Cubs pregame, that Pujols HAS been placed on the 15 day DL today.

According to LaRussa, Edmonds will start at 1B today.

Williamson is also going on the 15 day DL. Cubs.com

I guess Dusty wasn't "cheating" today by falsely claiming Williamson had an injury: Link

Wood? He's been pushed back to the second game of the Houston series. Maddux tomorrow. Link
