  1. I'd love to have Posada. Any idea on whether he'd come to the CUbs?
  2. Over who? I don't mean immediately, but if someone gets injured or we are in need of a starter, would he be ready?
  3. Give em Eyre, Jones, and Izzy and then they'll have something to complain about. They are feeling our pain from a year ago, however. 8-)
  4. Baseball punishments suck. :twisted: What sucks isn't that he can still play in the All-Star Game. What sucks is that the only effect of a five-game suspension is that he'll have to pitch the second game back after the All-Star break rather than the first; being pushed back one day, as opposed to actually missing a start, is getting off free. If the All-Star Game were included as you seem to want then he'd only miss 4 regular season games, which would merely be the games he'd be missing between starts anyway. The All-Star Game should not be one of the five games missed. He should miss the game because he was suspended. Suspended players should not be allowed to participate in the All-Star Game that year. For pitchers, it should not be 5 games missed, but rather 5 starts (this is what happens to position players...5 starts). So a position player should miss 5/162 3% of the season and a starting pitcher should miss 5/32 or 16% of the season? That sounds fair. That is too much, but there has to be a happy medium. Young's 5/162 punishment is not a 1/32 because he doesn't even miss one start. He is simply pushed back a day.

  6. Before the Brewers series, we didn't care too much about the Pirates.
  7. Baseball punishments suck. :twisted:
  8. How can you take steriods and still suck? Or has he been better this year?
  9. Why would we need another bullpen arm? Demp Howry Marmol Weurtz Ohman Gooz Petrick/Wood There are bigger holes on this team.
  10. You mean as a replacement for Hill? If so, I take back my compliment above. I didn't mean a replacement for Hill as much as is he ready to pitch as a major league starter if need be (someone gets injured)?
  11. Come on Cards, time to get swept by San Fran.
  12. Ugh....I will be at the White Sox game for a bachelor party. Kill me now. :shock: Wow that sucks. Looks like you'll have a lot of scoreboard watching to do! :)
  13. Your parents don't like baseball?!?! Tivo/Tape it. 8-)
  14. After Petrick can prove that he can pitch on back-to-back days, is there any chance gallagher starts for the major league club?
  15. I really don't know where to begin with this.... Ignore it. You're full of excellent advice. Is that sarcasm? Either way, it is great advice. Thank you.
  16. Yeah Izzy has to go and Cedeno has to come up.
  17. Hopefully the position player is Jones or Izzy. Either Gallagher or Petrick would stay with the club. Eyre, Gallagher/Petrick will be eventually replaced with Gooz and Wood.
  18. We have to DFA Eyre. Dempster Wood Howry Marmol Weurtz Ohman Guzman If Demp or Howry are traded, add in Petrick. Wow is that an amazing bullpen.
  19. Sorry Carlos, but I'm happy about this. Young can't play because of the suspension, right? Or can he?
  20. I'm more afraid of Laroche right now. He's on fire.
