    It's funny to see the looks on batters faces as they swing too late on a 90 mph fastball.

    nice penmanship

    It's on now. Skinny guys, Bowa playing with Aviators on, NO ONE on the roofs ... so much has changed. I wish Costas still had a baseball job. Hahha, I saw Bowa too, it was cracking me up. Looks like he flew to the game and just forgot to take them off.

    I gave it a yuck label because of who we got. Lawton always does well in the first half, then DIES DIES DIES in teh second. Oh well. I guess this isnt too bad of a situation. I'm just a little dissapointed we couldnt nab somebody else. It's not the slam dunk we were looking for, but it definitely improves the team. And it was worth the gamble.

    Hill also AVERAGED a little more then 6.1 IP in the minors. This is a not NEW thing. The Cubs need pitchers who can eat innings. And with today's OUTING by Maddux, the Cubs now have three starters who can barely go 5 innings. So, if you don't think the Cubs shouldn't be concern about Hill's (Maddux and Williams) inability to go deep into a game CONSISTANTLY, then you are overlooking a problem. I like Hill, but his stamina tells me, he is a middle reliever dressed up as a starter. You can't have three guys in the rotation, barely giving you 5 IPs per start, you taxed the bullpen TOO quick. And ignoring the problem won't go away. Again, most back of the rotation guys go 5 to 6 innings on average. Once Hill gets a little more comfortable, he'll start to lower his pitch counts. If not, good thing we're adding Wood and Williamson to the bullpen.

    Any lineup with Gonzo in it means trouble for Maddux.

    That was a shot at Sammy, and a shot at most of the sluggers in the game today. The shout out for Santo was awsome, btw.

    probably because no gm in their right mind is going to tell the 100% gods honest truth to a reporter.

    I don't think any deals can be announced this late after the deadline. Unless some dumb receptionist in the commisioner's office like, died or something, on the way with the trade papers. If that happened, I can definitely see there being a hold up.

    Thanks for the update.

    What happens to Hairston, as far as in the lineup? Lawton Walker Lee Burnitz Rammy Nomar Barrett Hairston Pitcher?

    Awesome trade. Not the big move we were looking for, but if he can throw a .380 obp up for the rest of the season, it's a great trade. Im shocked the Pirates didn't get a minor leaguer out of this deal to go along with Gerut.

    Or what happens? Or I'll punch him in the face. What was the point of this question again?
  16. imb
    gee i dont know, i sure do wish there was a 30 page thread dedicated to this subject though.
  17. imb
    no thanks. he's going to command far more than he's worth. 6 years, $72m is the contract I've heard thrown around. hahah f that.

    Is Milledge really better than Pie? He just reached AA, he has a marginally better walk rate, but far less power. I dont know about his defense, and im not sure about their exact ages. Milledge also gets caught stealing as much as Pie does. Milledge is probably my favorite non-Cubs prospect, btw. EDIT:Milledge is 2 months younger than Pie.

    it's true :(

    Roast, just have someone text message you if something happens.

    of course this will happen. Giles walks to much to be any use to us anyway.
  23. imb
    Hot, windy day, one pitcher gives up a lot of ground balls, and beats us regularly, and the other pitchet is Maddux. :(
  24. imb
    Hahahha, this is awesome.
