How do you figure? Where did you read anything that indicated that? Grimsley named names that he knew did HGH from association. The government was the one that tracked this shipment to his house. I'm not sure where you come up with your conclusion.

Wood's velocity / Wood to be examined by doctor / ->DL

Perhaps those "Kerry Wood as a closer" threads were right... -
Nationals hire Davey Johnson

Dierker next on your wish list Vance? -
I don't understand why you would base calling up Guzman on his stats in the minors, when your basis for not calling up Hill has nothing to do with his minor league stats. Neither has had any more success than one another at the big leagues, and clearly Hill has been the better pitcher in AAA. I'd like to see Hill get a chance at coming up and filling Marmol's long relief role for as long as Marmol is in the rotation. If Hill does well there, it can only help any potential trade value he has.

I haven't watched BBTN in eons, and frankly I don't feel like I'm missing it. They are making themselves more and more irrelevant with each passing day. Harold Reynolds, John Kruk and Steve Philips? (just a guess)

Oh the actual quote is a goodie.... I added the bold...:lol: Doesn't everyone against the Cubs, Dusty? Doesn't everyone?

I don't think it has anything to do with the media. I think it's more an issue of not wanting to be around other baseball players. Remember, he just gave a bunch of names of users to the feds - some of which may be current teammates. Even if he didn't name any teammates, I would imagine there are probably some guys who'd be pissed that he ratted on fellow players. I'd imagine that getting caught with HGH is an offense that could get him sent to jail, and his options were prison, or cooperate and tell what he knows. That's true too...but in any case, it was a way to run and hide.

Union's going to file a grievance and win in a walk. Retaliatory discharge at its finest. I highly doubt it. Grimsley asked to be released. Yep...he decided he was a "distraction" and is probably out of baseball according to his agent. My favorite part of the AP article was this... Riiiight...call me cynical, but I don't think this had anything to do with respect, or what a good guy he was, and everything to do with how he didn't want to face the media, and answer all those questions. Sounds like he took the cowards way out.

Everyone has sucked on offense today, aside from Mabry and Barrett. Just was pointing them out cuz they were due up in the 9th.
-
Barrett, Walker, A-Ram....1-8 today...
-
Awesome...meetings this afternoon so I couldn't watch the game, come back to hear that Kerry is gonna get his shoulder examined, and that we've been completely dominated by a nobody pitcher...yay!

Looks like I was a bit late coming to post this one...from Buster Olney: -
But Dusty should be able to figure out that Wood, while recovering, will be giving up some runs and might need the offensive cathcher rather than the defensive catcher. The bolded section made me laugh hard enough that I was unable to read the rest of the post.... :D

That one might be my favorite Cubs jingle. It's my ring tone. I miss a lot of calls, if it's game day because I'm singing along. Oooh...where'd you get that as a ring tone?

Same for Guzman? Middle relief when he comes up again, whenever that may be.
-
Drop the name calling. Immediately.

Maybe he used them backwards. Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad. Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"? Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Dr. Raymond Stantz: Total protonic reversal! Dr. Peter Venkman: Right, that's bad. Okay, alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.
-
Fixed...happy? :)

I just wish that he'd played Hank against a righty. I know that he doesn't hit righties as well as lefties, but he's not going to give you much offense either way, and Barrett has hit lefties really well this year.
-
You're right of course. I was joking....kinda sorta.... :D
-
This makes me cry. I had Oswalt and D-Lee on my fantasy team. Good thing it's a keeper league, but I'm not please with how it's affecting my season this season.
-
and Julian Tavarez and Travis Harper and Jose Valverde Gagne. Are you guys being serious, or making fun. I really cannot tell. My point is while not ignoring that usage exists, trying to speculate who did or didn't use is pointless because no one can tell. I thought we were just tossing out frequently injured guys...I surely wasn't be serious.

I've decided that Cuban should just buy the Tribune... :D
