I say nay to the mulligan. -
So does that mean we can stop automatically assuming Aaron was "all natural?" Because that would be awesome.
-
State money wouldn't be "taking" money from taxpayers. You'd be paying the same taxes regardless.
-
That was not a flattering shot of Rose at the start of that interview.
-
+1. + the increase in payroll, overall bad team. Not to mention, I didn't like how Ricketts said he was going to spend $ on the draft and then didn't. Yeah, you can't be mad about that anymore. It's well-known now that he is literally building for the future in Latin America. A huge presence there is probably more important than spending big every year in the draft (with the exception of this year and 2001). I didn't read about the Cubs signing any big name Latin players, mostly just smaller slot guys. Ricketts better spend this June. ... He's talking about the Cubs' plans for a baseball academy in the Dominican Republican. And are you expecting the Ricketts to force Wilken to spend money?

Rabblerabblerabble!
-
The Giants had a 5 AND a 7-game losing streak last year.
-
Probably the same amount as teams that have lost on 5 straight Wednesdays or some other arbitrary crap like that. 2, apparently ('74 Pirates and '95 Reds). That potentially seems way, way too low to actually mean anything.
-
How many teams have started off 0-5 and even made the playoffs?
-
How does this "smell" like anything besides what's been said? There's not going to be precise timetables with pitching injuries and it's barely been 24 hours since Cashner was injured.
-
Though with Prior and Wood you were looking at two guys with immense talent that the organization were counting on being able to build around. Obviously, they want Cashner to be a big part of the team's future, but Wells is Wells. Once he starts getting more expensive his value is going to plummet.
-
Better now than later in the season. Yeah, but we don't really know the true extent of these injuries. Still better now than later. If they end up needing surgery wouldn't rather they have it ASAP instead of late in the season and then the recovery cuts into (or further into) whenever they can come back?
-
Better now than later in the season.

He'll be back on Friday. The talk during the broadcast today made it sound like that between wanting him back 100%, having the off-day tomorrow and Colvin's decent performance on Tuesday they opted to give him an extra day off.
-
He's not. He's seeing the ball well; he's just not putting his best swings on it. I've watched most of the games and have seen him swing quite a few times at crappy pitches low and away. That's always been his weakness, even when he's hitting well.
-
Yeah, this offense looked pretty [expletive] good playing at cold, miserable Wrigley, so hopefully the domes make it look even better.
-
I think if someone gets on base ahead of the pitcher's spot, Pena bats. But it's hard to hit a 2 run homer with no one on. If he can't tie the game with one swing, it's probably better to let him have today and tomorrow to fully heal the thumb. True, though it highlights how it's a bad idea to have both Johnson and Baker on the bench since neither can hit righties worth a damn. That basically meant that Barney was the only other option if they wanted to save Pena (yeah, there's Hill, but the backup catcher isn't usually going to be used that soon).
-
He's not. He's seeing the ball well; he's just not putting his best swings on it.

Great move putting Baker in there against Putz, Quade. CURSES.
-
It'll come. He's swinging at good pitches.
-
Alright, DeWitt. You owe us.
-
Great escape by Mateo. LET'S DO THIS.
-
Hah! [expletive] you, Young.
