I never realized that Scott Eyre's eyes were uneven. That explains much.

Gold Gloves are stupid awards. That being said, Edmonds used to be one of the best at his position, and was formally recognized as such.

What would be even better is if he asked Freel if he was OK and Freel responded, "dude, put the ball in my glove." Bush League or not, I think it's pretty awesome. I mean, seriously, the guy held onto the ball after a pretty violent collision.

Dontrelle hasn't looked too hot this year, fine game for him to get back on track. 1-0 Marlins.

You are not in my wildest fantasies, sir.

Joe Girardi plz

So did I. How soon till I make the club?

Those are some big letters.

:lol: That's a great move my Hopper. If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.

I don't think it's too late for 2007. I still believe that the Cubs will win this division if they stay healthy. The division is very weak as we've seen. I see a repeat of the 2003 regular season - Piniella's team will grind it out in the second half and win the Central with less than 90 wins and no more than a 3 game margin. As for GM, it's going to be a tough job. I always approach it from the point of view that next year's payroll will go up by $5M. So, as I see it, the Cubs will have $11M to spend - that's not much wiggle room. Even if the Cubs don't resign Zambrano, Barrett, Izturis, Wood, Miller and Ward, they do still owe hefty raises to Soriano, Ramirez, Lilly, Jones, Dempster, Marquis, DeRosa, Ohman, Eyre and Blanco. Net net is $6M saved. Add in the additional $5M payroll boost, and there's $11M. $11M to spend, but 3 or 4 big holes: SS, C, maybe a starter and maybe a CF (if Pie is not ready). Tough job. Best bet is to trade Jones, Dempster and Eyre. Combined they will make around $15M in 2008 - even if you have to eat $10M of that amount, you still get another $5M to play with. $16M is not great, but it does give a GM a chance to make one major splash and one minor one. Hoops I hope you're right, though a playoff berth would have me worried that the new owners would keep Hendry.

I blame this loss on NSBB day.

Ward, Murton... DeRosa has been solid this year and is useful because of his versatility. Barrett used to be good, though I wouldn't mind seeing him get dealt. Wuertz is good, Dempster is all right, Marmol and Guzman have potential. I'm hoping Howry comes back the next few weeks and increases his trade value. Barrett has seriously regressed this year. I would have wholeheartedly objected to his being dealt before the season started, but if he keeps up his current pace, I see no reason to sign him in the offseason or trade him near the deadline this season.

This team really hates winning.

How many pitches has Kim thrown so far?

4th inning. Isn't it almost time for Lou to pinch-hit for Marshall?

This game sucks.

Psh Scott Eyre for HOF

He wasn't alive long enough to compose such a masterpiece of futility.

I see little chance of Kobe being traded. It seems like a long shot, but I do remember that during his FA year that Pax flew him out to Chicago to try to sell him on the team. Maybe it settled into Kobe's head. If we can land Kobe for Gordon and some spare parts, that would be... impossible. He'd have to really want out of there.

ding ding ding we have a winner. Why is it that basically all of us know this but our old senile manager cant? um... Oh no did I spell a word wrong on an internet message board? Um, who cares I don't think it's the spelling that's the issue. Edit: or maybe it was. Im lost because I have no clue what he was getting at? Me too.

I wish I was down at school so I could drive to the Tenn at W. Tenn game. Oh well.

His spot in the order came up in a scoreless game with a man in scoring position and 2 outs, so he got lifted for Ward, who lined out softly to Kent. I'd rather stick with a pitcher who is rolling than put in a batter who has at best a 1 in 3 chance of getting the run in. Most would considering the situation. Lou has such an itchy trigger finger. Hill was pretty much dealing.

Yes.
