    I agree. Cain was definitely on. Outside of the double steal in the first, I don't feel the Cubs played "badly" at all. They just got shut down by someone who has shown numerous times he can be an excellent pitcher while missing some critical starters.

    God, I hate you, Theriot.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    SHOOT ONE OF THOSE EFFERS DOWN THE LINE.

    Theriot, if you tie it up here, I'll never say anything bad about you again.

    I think this is Fontenot's 3rd 3-1 count...will he finally make it happen?
  6. Sammy Sofa
    FonteNO.

    UBER FAKE RALLY. Still, sexy triple, Lee.

    Are the collective stats of the Cubs' leadoff hitters not named Soriano as horrible as I think they are?

    It's actually nothing like that at all. If Bonds is playing and he gets caught, he should be punished. He got away with what he did, just like thousands of other players got away with breaking the rules over the years. Except for if no one signs him then he wouldn't get away with it. Why, does it somehow magically go back and erase the last few years he played and the money he made and the records he broke?

    Are there any realistic multi-team deals the Cubs could get in on to increase their chances? I don't know. It's not that the Brewers are better matched, they are just stacked in the minor leagues. The Cubs don't have a single prospect with the value of LaPorta and probably not one that comes close to Gamel either. If the Brewers decide to do whatever it takes, they will win this derby. Now, if the Brewers are hesitant to offer the top goods, the Cubs might outbid them. There might be other teams in this derby with more minor league resources than both Mil and the Cubs. That is true. I was just saying I didn't see the Cubs being able to outbid the Brewers. I'd think teams like the Rays, Rangers, and Braves could probably outbid the Cubs as well. A ton of teams can outbid the Cubs, but are they as desperate as us? That's pretty much my only source of hope. "Well, they're offering you a couple of A-players...so how about half a dozen B-players?"

    No one cared? 1,750,000 people showed up for the parade on LaSalle Street according to the Police Department making it the largest single gathering of people ever in the history of the city. That's just because it was cleverly announced as "A PARADE FOR CHICAGO'S BASEBALL TEAM!!!" and everyone simply assumed they meant the Cubs.

    He did it better (for one night) then A-Ram. Not since Santo has there been a 2 HR 6 RBI night by a Cubs 3rd basemen. Correct me if I am wrong. :grin: Aramis had a 2 HR 6 RBI game last year, a 2 HR 7 RBI game in 2006. HA that is what I get for listening to ESPN. They said no Cubs 3rd basemen had done it since Santo. Niceee....... They said in San Francisco.

    yeah but sabathia is probably going to be asking for $20M a year. if you do that you've got about $60M next year going to 4 starters, and beyond then you've got nearly $50M a year going to 3 starters. tack on $13M for lee, $12M for fukudome, $15M for ARam and about $17M for soriano - that's $108M and you still need a bullpen, 2 more starters, 4 more position players and a bench. unless you're the yankees, this is not doable. I'd do the deal even if he's a 3 month rental. The problem is that there would be no guarantee of signing Sabathia to an extension after giving up Gallagher. I'm not sure Sabathia as a 2-3 month rental is worth Gallagher plus others. Gallagher looks to be an important part of the rotation for this year and in the future. Screw the future. Win now. The '93 Phillies could have had the Big Unit in what could have easily been their year, but opted to "stay young" and not give up their prospects. Turns out the WS was likely just one giant, hideous bird-man of a pitcher away.

    until you realize it's comcast cable, and then you'll want to kill yourself It's remarkable how Comcast seems to magically find ways to make my bill a bit higher every single month.

    Henry Hendry? :) So angry...can't find keys!!!
  19. Sammy Sofa
    If Gallagher is seriously "untouchable"... ... Hendry, don't be an idiot.

    Almost everyone knew about steroids by then. We're not idiots.

    This should be one of Marquis' "on days." This Giants team stinks at home, and we got a pretty clear picture of why last night. They don't really take a lot of pitches and hack away.

    Love seeing Murton showing some flashes of power.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    ... Wow. Just what the doctor ordered.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Blanco going after Marmol's ears in the dugout.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Foul, but man, there's some Murton-powah.
