  1. Most of the players disliked Barrett. Barrett was a bad defensive catcher, couldn't hit well, and Z nearly killed him. The Cubs have been great since he left. It was a good move. A.) Corellation or B.) causation? (hint, the answer is A) I'm thinking.
  2. Um...Ravech just said the Kendall deal was for Marshall....that's bunk right?
  3. What a great win.... Can we quit the massive overreactions to every little error or run now??
  4. I fully understand the love for Marmol, but I can't understand why everybody hates Howry. He scares me honestly. Earlier this year he wasn't so good, and that makes me think bad things.
  5. CUBS SUCK BECAUSE SORIANO MADE AN ERROR WOE IS US!
  6. I thought the game was over on Soriano's misplay though?
  7. ROFL...Sutcliffe tells me that David Eckstein and Craig Counsell are the guys that win championships...*sigh*
  8. You're right. I'm sure we'll continue to win at that rate. Bring on Kendall! LOL...yeah that's what I said..sure. My point is that it's one game...I don't think a loss (if it even is that) is reason for "might as well actively root for the Brewers."
  9. Lots of overreaction today...you'd think we hadn't won 14 of 19 or whatever it is...
  10. I'm admittedly not a minor league guy, so I don't know a lot about Blevins, but I while there's not a ton to be excited about, I'm not sure it's as bad a deal as is being made out here. All we gave up was Bowen, who sucked anyway, and a minor leaguer. I just can't get too upset.
  11. Seems like we haven't had the same catcher play 2 games in a row in a while. And I know that Soto hasn't gotten that chance.
  12. It's ridiculous to think that Cuban would even drop a hint as to what his actual top bid might be. If he wanted to play that poker game, he'd drop a highball bid to scare off other potential bidders. But he'd have to make the leak a lot more authentic than telling FOX Sports Radio. Anyone else think that Cuban's chances for a successful MLB owners vote would go up much if he partnered with a more conservative, Selig-palatable co-owner? I'm talking about perceptions here ... ideally this co-owner would, in reality, be a hands-off, glorified investor. Wasn't the guy Wagner going to be his minority owner? Does he fit that bill? Todd Wagner certainly keeps a lower profile than Cuban; hopefully that counts for something. But from Selig's point of view, might he be viewed as a Cuban crony? I don't know ... Another thought that's probably been discussed ad nauseum, but if Cuban's bid to buy the Cubs is successful, does that automatically mean he sells the Mavs? Talk about selling high ... I'm not an NBA fan but I'd imagine the Mavs are at or near an all-time high in value right now. I don't think Cuban has any intention of selling the Mavs.
  13. According to the CNNsi.com psychic.... :lol: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gennaro_filice/07/13/fiveup.fivedown/index.html
  14. I don't think that will be such a huge number by the time the bidding is done. It is likely IMO that the bidding will reach close to 1 billion just because of the number of buyers involved and the passion that some of them will have to really want to buy the Cubs (Cuban won't be the only one who won't look it as completely a business decision). Yeah...if $850 million is his cap...I don't know if he'd even be the top bidder...which would make it much easier for MLB to say "we gave him a shot!"
  15. I won't celebrate an injury, but I'm also not terribly upset about it.
  16. I can't imagine that the Astros would trade Oswalt within the division.
  17. the only guy that's really scary is lincecum. Cain can be good, Morris and Zito suck It's tough to be too scared of anyone at the moment with the way this team is playing.
