Oh, well, that's settled then. I'm convinced. Never mind guys, Bowen is a piece of **** and has no place here. Forget everything I said. -
Agreed. Barrett had a pretty high SLG this year, but he was still getting on base at Neifi-like levels. He really wasn't doing well this season, he's on the wrong side of 30, and he's a FA at the end of the year. If Bowen turns out to be as good as he looks and Barrett continues to decline, we may look back on this as a very good deal.
-
BTW, I'll miss you Michael. From 2004-06 you were the best Cubs catcher I've ever followed. And you socked Pierzynski. You're my type of guy and it was a bummer that you had to go.
-
If it IS Barrett for Bowen/Burke...meh. If Bowen really is good on defense, then he's definitely our new best catcher and I'll be happy if we can get someone who gets on base and plays good D behind the plate, especially considering Barrett wasn't coming back and was having a bad year. Burke is a terrible, no-good, awful prospect and I was hoping that high-level pitching prospect talk was true. I don't think this is that bad a deal. The offense needed to be upgraded at the deadline before this deal was made and it still does.

That's a beautiful view from those seats.

Don't be - I knew whoever won between you and Cubbies75 would beat me after I barely escaped B. The only thing surprising to me is that you're the one beating me, I had always thought Cubbies75 was enormously popular on this site. It's hardly an insult to lose to a guy who can take a BP homer off the chin anyway :D

Can I get a recount? Barry Bonds does not have a soul, therefore does not count as a person. mhuber's comment is correct
-
Ryan put the Rangers in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg HELL of a night for our pen. Great win.

Who are you and what have you done with the Cubs' bullpen???
-
Fonz and Felix both went after Sosa's flyout, both calling for it. Pie caught it, there was a slight collision.
-
They both did. Fonz should have let up, Pie's the captain out there.
-
In case anyone was wondering, Ron Mahay, who just owned us, gave up 20 earned runs in 35.1 innings in his Cubs career. And his K:BB ratio was just a shade over 1.5:1.
-
I think I'd rather Fonzie "instigate brawls" than strike out all the time.
-
DEAR LORD, MARMOL! :D
-
Meh, I don't think DeRosa should've been that far off the bag.
-
I want Marmol closing as soon as Dempster either has his contract run out or loses effectiveness. As it is he should be the 2nd setup man with Howry.
-
LEE! He CREAMED that!
-
Damn, Carlos Marmol is just freakin good.
-
Marmol is the nails.
-
Ugh, a cheapie. And Marshall's gone. 4-plus. First non-QS of the year.
-
Eh, all PBP guys for low-attendance teams do that from what I've seen.
-
I freaking love Mark DeRosa.

Barrett Good call
