Allen's a real good player, but I doubt he's worth that much. That's a king's ransom. Also, in other news, I heard the Bengals turned down an offer of two first round picks for Ocho Cinco. Not a good move on their part methinks. I'll say. That's a horrible move. They must not be willing to get rid of him.

Gerald Perry is a miracle worker. I also think Fukudome's approach at the plate has to some extent accelerated the transition to patience. If the Cubs keep being patient, they're going to be a pretty damn hard team to beat.
-
This is kind of an interesting article. The Cubs wouldn't have definitively gone after him, but I find it odd that Santana apparently never knew we were interested because the Twins never told him.

Garnett: 18.8 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.2 BPG Jefferson: 21.0 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 1.4 APG, 1.5 BPG C'mon now, let's be honest here. There isn't a single rational person that would take Jefferson over Garnett at this stage, regardless of what those numbers say. Plenty of players have put up big numbers for bad teams. This also isn't baseball; defense matters a great deal (as, to a lesser extent, do intangibles). Garnett is a much better player at this time than Jefferson. The above poster was correct, Garnett will be in the Hall of Fame and it's not likely Jefferson will join him. I'm not arguing for Jefferson being as good as KG, I'm just giving one example of KG not being the most valuable player in the league this year. KG had a wonderful season for a great team, and I'm sure he did in fact have some intangible impact on the team too, but there is simply no way I can justify voting KG the MVP, especially in a season with three otherworldly candidates the caliber of Kobe, CP, and LeBron.

Yep. Rockets are cooked. They would have to take 2 of 3 in Utah to win the series and I just don't see it happening.

Official "My God, can he keep it going?!?" Theriot BandWGN
Andy replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I didn't see it mentioned, but even as good as Theriot has been this year, Ronny is still blowing his numbers away (albeit in a much smaller sample). This is a good problem to have, for what that's worth. -
Mine! Thanks Brian.

If ever there was a great time for Lilly to get off the schneid, Tuesday's the day. C'mon Ted, revisit 2007 Lilly, pitch us to a win and let's head to Colorado on a tidal wave of momentum.
-
Absolutely. Ronny had plenty of stretches where he looked even worse than Felix has at times. If he can put it together, you'd better bet that Felix can too. After the Gerald Perry-led transformation of this team from the beginning of 2007 to now, I won't rule anything out.

If anyone finds a pic of Pie grinning after his homer, I want it for my sig.
-
Seriously - these teams are supposed to compete with the Cubs?
-
Is Z finally "getting it?" I really think so. This is going to be a really magical season. How sweet would it be for you to work a WS game? He probably wouldn't shut up for weeks if the Cubs made it that far, haha. Great stuff to hear from Z. He's on his way to a Cy if he can back it up on the mound.
-
Hart stupidly breaks for home on a Hall groundout to third to cost the Crew a chance to tie it. These two teams are both horrible. And BTW, Gagne will pitch for the fifth day in a row. Good lord, Yost is stupid.
-
I don't see how the MVP is not CP3, but I can live with it if Kobe gets the "he should have at least one" vote. LeBron in any other year would probably be the runaway, and I expect him to stock his shelves with them starting next year.
-
Pretty soon, "because we're the Cubs" is going to be a positive refrain on this site. If it's not already.
-
Haha, awesome stuff.

I don't think they are considered, nor should they be considered, journalists. They are entertainment. I didn't say he was a journalist, i believe the announcer should try to be as unbiased as possible. I realize an announcer that follows a team day in and day out have the biases, but its their job to try to avoid that. Not only did Mary miss that boat, he went as far to insult an entire fan base and tie the fan base to the organizational problems. You'd think cub fans would get some credit for being die hard for a team that doesn't win. Home team announcers aren't supposed to be unbiased. Although (and this is to add to your post, not argue with it) they are also supposed to not be brainless morons who paint with a broad brush after a single incident.

The Cubs didn't score in the ninth today. :wink: Bite me. :D Five-run EIGHTH!
-
On June 29, 2007, it felt like the whole team changed, and I had a different feeling about them from that day on. I felt pretty good about this team already, but I get the feeling I'm going to look at this five-run ninth in October and know that's when it clicked.
-
If Arizona loses tonight the Cubs will move into a tie for best record in the bigs.
-
i'm right there with you. i love seeing struggling players come up big. no reason for wood to be in here, but whatever. He was already warmed up, so really not an option, unfortunately.
-
Not at all. I think a lot of us are right with you. I didn't get to see his face but I wanted to.
-
Five runs with two outs. Felix. Ronny. Kosuke. This team is something special.
