    Who the hell is pitching for the Cubs. He only has 72 pitches after 6 innings. Doesn't he know thats not the way we do things around here.

    Is it too late to hire him?

    Lots of chippyness in the Chivas-Galaxy game. Marsh with a stupid late foul on Beckham worthy of at least a yellow, probably not a straight red but close. Then a headbutt against a Galaxy player after all players confronted one another. 2 players get sent off, one from each side.

    I'm sure demand has gone up a lot today.

    Yeah, CU Buffs all the way. I'm really hoping we suck less this year. Thanks! Rams over Rapists! The Rapists have been getting raped ever since the Big 12 Championship two years ago. Still the most fun I have ever had at a College Football Game :-).

    I know I love when he gets like that. He's a goof and can be annoying at times, but he's in his element when this type of craziness occurs. I'll have to check out Baseball Tonight. He--or anyone else, for that matter--can be excused for their behavior about this game. Thing about it... 30 RUNS! 30!!! Chances are we'll never see it again. Kind of reminds me of the thread a couple of days ago about what would happen first, 5 Hr's in a game, 21 K's, or now 30 runs again?

    The U-17's are playing tonight/this morning on ESPN2 against Tunisia needing at least a point. Chance to see Nimo play for the 1st time.

    Tonight on Fox Football Fone-in (FSC) they said that McBride could be out 5 months. You've got to wonder how much longer he can play in the Premier League at his age and following that injury. Before the injury I would have said another 2 years, now I have no clue. I just don't know what the rehab and recovery are like from an injury like that. That being said I think he really enjoys playing in England and has been successful.

    The goal was fantastic obviously, but moreso I loved the attitude standing up to Terry. Showed some balls. Altidore is the real deal Holyfield. I'm seeing an $8 mil + transfer fee next year. He'll go to a big club. Its nice to finally have a forward with speed, size and strength. I would love to see him go to a big club, but he just needs to play everyday. Playing for Liverpool would be sweet and I think next year he could almost go ahead of Kuyt and Crouch, two guys I have never really liked but I don't know enough about Ryan Babel. Playing along side of Torres and in front of Gerrard, Alonso, and Riise would be cool. I don't see Chelsea or ManU working out.

    I might have the wrong country, but I know last year there was a country with quite a bit of Americans on it due to a lot of families living there due to a big oil rig. I think it might have been Saudi Arabia. That is correct. A friend of mine in college actually played in the LLWS as a part of the Saudi team that was 100% Americans.

    If I happen to get by a hurricane later this week, it is also Joe Morgan's fault.

    Damn that would hurt. Very unfortuante for him.

    Looked like his left foot stuck in the ground while moving for the shot. Didn't look serious, but his reaction makes it look horrible.

    The Cubs spent ~$112 mil. this season. They have ~$107 mil. committed - exlcuding Wood, Miller, Izturis, Floyd, Cotts & Barrett. Ohman is under contract next season. So to add A-Rod, you'd need to find a way to add $25-$30 mil. next season or severely backload his contract. Assume for a moment that the new ownership increases payroll by 10%. That'd still leave you $9 mil -$13 mil. short. It's doubtful they could deal away that much in other contracts (anyone going to take JJ's full contract - even if he finishes well). Basically the Cubs would have to a) increase payroll 20%; b) get A Rod to take an under-market contract; or c) backload the heck out of the deal. None of those possibilities seems likely. Having an owner and depending on who he is will determine lots of things. Until then none of us know anything.

    I love Theriot and all, but that lineup would be better off with DeRo at 2B and even an average producing RF. Maybe long term, you'd rather have Theriot at 2B than DeRo, but yea. DeRo at 2B and average RF > Theriot at 2B and DeRo in RF That lineup is a wet dream though, either way, with ARod at SS. I'll take it every day of the week. Yeah, but Theriot's cheap. Then again, Murton in RF would be cheep too. I'd take Pie in CF next year too. Trade Jones in the offseason. Having Soto, Pie, and either Theriot or Murton in the lineup allows you to afford going after Arod. or Miggy with an extension and a sponsership with Nutrisystem.

    Hendry should be forever known as the greatest GM in the history of baseball should that happen.

    Beckham with 3 assists and Altidore with 2 goals as New York beat LA 5-4. Altidore just needs to buy a plane ticket to Europe himself and go.

    "in my day kids didn't hit home runs off pitchers more than twice their age" That because they would eventually freakin retire.
  20. shnsajax
    Is it going to resume pretty soon?
  21. shnsajax
    i wouldn't either. Maybin could be Soriano at a very cheap price for the next few years. I wonder how Dombrowski meant that. Did he mean it as a comparison? That Maybin will actually be better than Soriano over the next couple seasons? Or that factoring in age and cost, that Maybin is a better value? The reports were that the Nationals offer Soriano to the Tigers last year straight up for Maybin and that the Tigers rejected it. Guessing thats where it came from.

    Sometime last year I think. He needs the Rick Vaughn black skull glasses.

    Need gamecast help. It showed Chris Duncan had a swinging strike on a ball that was behind his legs, what happened?
