I really wish they'd just leave Castro hitting #2 and stop [expletive] around. -
Considering we were the only chance to beat the Heat, I wouldn't be taking pleasure in this if I was you. The Celtics were the only team in the playoffs that could beat Miami?????? Given that the Heat are playing their best basketball right now, yes, the Celtics probably had the best shot (if healthy) of the east teams of taking down a Heat team firing on all cylinders. Look, I love the Bulls, and I hope to God that they pull this off and my prediction of them losing in 5-6 games is wrong, but I'm worried that the Bulls peaked too early and now they're facing a team peaking at the right time.

The sort who remain undaunted by even the most intense plantain chip barrages. Winnnnnnnerrrrrrrrr.
-
Exactly.
-
Savages.
-
Zambrano's still awesomely enthusiastic and it's all he's ever known. Those people are resilient.
-
The organization has already essentially said that Castillo will get a bunch of starts while Soto is on the DL.
-
The $900k spent on Davis this year doesn't impede the money they can spend next year. Davis likely/hopefully isn't going to get a ton of starts (though almost certainly more than the 2-3 you place him at), so why start the clock on Jackson for such a limited window?
-
It would be more logical to save money and bring up Jay Jackson, someone with a future with this team. How is that logical when the Davis situation is based out of a lack of pitching depth that you don't want to start the clock on?
-
Who said they don't want Davis to start instead of Russell? People are saying that they hope Cashner doesn't lose his rotation spot because of Davis. Seemingly out the fear of him simply being bumped up and maybe being promised $900k out of necessity.

Kendrys Morales Out for Year (Again)
Sammy Sofa replied to NCCubFan's topic in General Baseball Talk
[expletive] 'em. The Cubs can roll with anyone when it comes to offering Pujols the money he wants. Plus it's Pujols. I doubt the Angels would be like "naw, we're cool, we don't want that guy." Morales would have had to have a hell of a bounceback year for that. -
And Dutchie and her flapjacks.
-
So now we DON'T want him up instead of Russell? This is so confusing. I always lose track of what we're supposed to be miserable over each week.
-
[expletive] lame inning. Thanks a lot, Starlin.
-
WTF, Castro. Kinda [expletive] the Shark gets an earned run when he's had the third out hit to Castro twice now.
-
For the Cardinals? That was another one that bounced off the track over the basket.
-
Dallas will win and it will be fun watching Stern have to give Cuban the trophy. Yeah, no.
-
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnntastic. I hate to say it, but I'll be very, very surprised if the Heat aren't NBA champions after this year.
-
Aren't the Cardinals in pretty dire shape right now when it comes to their farm system?
-
Did they change the headline? This is what it is now:
-
Berkman's probably [expletive] himself.
-
Weather looks and sounds really ominous at the moment here in Lincoln Park but hopefully they should be able to get the game in tonight. Precipitation chances are pretty high around start time but then drop down around 8:30 or so until around midnight.

ALL THE DODGERS NEEDED WERE MORE BLAKE DEWITTS, DAMMIT!!! http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2008/07/mike-scioscia-exhales-carbon-dioxide.html

Wasn't that the FJM article where they blasted Plaschke for saying how great the scoutiest scouts were for finding Ethier as a diamond in the rough, when he was the A's organizational player of the year? Yes, it was glorious. Some fat dude was sleeping in the corner or something and his ears perked up when he heard the name because he remember one swing where he looked like the perfect player or something. Just beautiful. One of FJM's very best: http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2006/08/best-ever.html

Hosmer, Moustakas called up
Sammy Sofa replied to Rob's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Personally I think 90 is a pretty low threshold for being a so called "very good team". And I wasn't the won who pretended they did it a lot in the 2000's. If you aren't winning 90, you are pretty much in a large group of average teams. The Cubs had 1 very good team in the 2000's. They snuck into the playoffs 2 others times thanks to no competition, but they were not very good. Didn't say they were, but you're setting your criteria up as being rather strangely arbitrary when you set a number of wins that the team missed by 2 or less games three times. Given the abundance of arguments and evidence that can be used to point out how they weren't a good team it just struck me as an odd thing to settle on.
