    I'm not worried about him spending on payroll. He could spend the same amount we're spending now and I'd be fine. Here's what I want out of Cuban. 1) Not being content with putting a "crappy/mediocre/swept in the first round of the playoffs" team on field. 2) Put some young, fresh minds in the organization that think of things a little different than some of the "good baseball guys" do. You don't need to have every member of the front office be a SABR whiz, but a few wouldn't hurt. Balance stats and scouting.

    I think Reed dented the sign behind home plate with that foul.

    While it'd certainly be nice if Ward was doing better, offense really hasn't been our major issue this season.
  4. Banedon
    CNNSI has one too...Bears taking Dymetrius Byrd, WR, LSU. It's an exercise in ridiculousness.

    Wow...from the Trib:

    Verdict?

    Were you already on the DL for a hernia?

    I emailed the guy that wrote the Union Trib article, and he replied. My email first...his follows:

    Wait, weren't we getting shut out by Sheets?
  10. Banedon
    Now I won't criticize anyone for being negative about Marquis and our chances because of him.
  11. Banedon
    That was mostly after both 2 pitch outs leading off the inning He still threw more balls than strikes in the inning. That's not good.

    Len said that Sheets is NOT on a pitch count Well of course Yost will say that. He doesn't want the Cubs to be counting on it. But on a cold night like this, he's on a pitch count.
  13. Banedon
    Wouldn't it be easier to require someone man the catcher position?
  14. Banedon
    Sheets on a pitch count. Brewers bullpen is horrible. And Sheets is already over 20 pitches, with the majority of them outside the strike zone. I'm not sure why all the negativity.
  15. Banedon
    He says right before the 2 walks.

    Strikeout Double Strikeout, Braun safe at 1st on Dropped third strike, Cameron to 3rd Sac Fly Infield Single Groundout to short 1-0 brewers, mid 1st Thanks. Gameday was very confused by the dropped 3rd.
  17. Banedon
    I'm in a class. More detail please.
  18. Banedon
    What happened?
  19. Banedon
    If you are among those that believe that Pie is in the doghouse though, then there's nothing to lose here. Pie wouldn't be getting the shot with the Cubs, so you might as well do what you can and get Greene out of it. What's the CF free agent class look like for next year?
  20. Banedon
    That's actually mentioned in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=48069 While that's not specifically a Brian Roberts thread, I'm going to lock this one for fear of what it will become.

    Brittle brittle man. He "banged" his ankle and is going to have an MRI on it. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/04/29/alou.ankle/index.html
  22. Banedon
    it's better than a broken jaw Do you have the stats to back that up?
  23. Banedon
    It's a message board. We talk about what we have. If you have an opportunity to talk to Lou and get the scoop straight from him, let us know. Otherwise we'll just have to talk about this. And who is saying anything about it being the ironclad truth other than you?

    It was so slow as to be unusable for about 2-3 hours this morning.

    So you're saying King wanted us to get a QB that makes stupid decisions to replace our starting QB that makes stupid decisions? King is the only one I've seen that's down on the Bears draft. I've seen mostly B's and B+'s from most media outlets. He's the leader of the anti-Grossman bandwagon. To be honest, I was disappointed they didn't draft a QB. But they weren't drafting one in the first (I do not understand why so many mocks had them doing so), and they weren't getting anybody who was going to start in 2008. I'm a firm believer in the draft a QB every year theory. Stockpile those guys as often as possible. You never know when a 4th rounder will pick up on things and become a valuable starter down the road, or even trade bait. They did get a couple as undrafted free agents though...and if you aren't gonna take one in the first, and you aren't enamored with any of the remainders... I think Jerry and Lovie both want to see what Rex and Kyle can do with an O-line that can protect them.
