  1. based on what I have seen from Pie, I have no idea how he put up such good numbers in Iowa. He looks great on defense but just plain clueless at the plate. I think a left hander could throw a beach ball to him and he'd find a way to miss it. I'm ready to include him in a trade now.
  2. changing their name wont make them suck any less.
  3. fuld is doing really well in the AFL. the problem is that the AFL, while stocked full of talented young players, the vast majority of them finished the year in double A or below. He's facing younger, less advanced talent. Also al ot of the good young pitchers are resting their arms because teams wont risk them ruining their career. It would be more of an eye opener if he wasnt mashing.
  4. you guys can rip hendry for this but really he traded young crap for old crap. None of these guys had a place in our organization next year. Rocky cherry is 28 and not good enough to crack our roster. Scott moore is a strike out machine and his best position is taken by aramis. Plus he cant hit lefties. Renshaw you could make an argument for but players like him are a dime a dozen. As in, right handers with an era over 4 who are inconsistent. He'll be a decent reliever at best. I see this as addition by subtraction because it allows us to move some of our younger more talented guys up.
  5. it seems pretty obvious that the cubs brass wants to sign a japanese player simply because it opens up a new market for revenue and makes the cubs even more marketable and thus an easier sale. If we sign Fukudome, Kuroda, or matsui, maybe the cubs new owners get into a japanese tv deal like the yankees and red sox have. I personally like Kuroda, I watched a lot of you tube video of him last year and I think he could be 2/3 starter potential, especially in the NL. Some people have said that he is around 89mph but he can crank it up to 94+ and seems to work around 90-92. At any rate he changes speeds well.
  6. Ive got to believe that the Twins are interested in Jacque with Hunter leaving. He was a fan favorite and could be had pretty easily.
  7. colon needs to lose a lot of weight before he can be considered. He has basically thrown away the last couple seasons due to back problems and arm problems from compensating for carrying to much weight. colon is a poster child for zambrano to take care of his body.
  8. scott boras is ruining the economy. I think his pony tail is pure, concentrated evil
  9. my god, they also own the rights to Chad Blasko and Scott Williamson.
  10. or "Baltimore, Chicago's newest dumpster"
  11. MacPhail is trying hard to recreate his reign of ineptitude in baltimore. Obviously he was only responsible for signing a handful of these guys but It borders on the unbelievable that all of these guys found there way out of our system into the Baltimore system. Here is the list: C Patterson, Paul Bako, Roberto Novoa, (Fast) Freddy Bynum, Jon Leciester, Rocky Cherry, Scott Moore, Jason Dubois, Francis Beltran, Luis Montanez, and Brandon Sing. Baltimore, where ex-cubs go to die.
  12. all i know is that this game was about situational hitting. We left nine men on base. this is nothing new. We ve been doing it all year long. Thats why this team drives us crazy. I just cant fathom how aggressive our hitters were on inside pitches. Lee and Ramirez swung at every pitch that was thrown right on their hands. And Uncle Cliffy looked more like Grandpa looking for his bi-focals.
  13. Lee isnt seeing webbs pitches at all. He just looked foolish on that last pitch.
  14. seriously, what music are they listening to in the club house. It sounds like a 70's porn and now gail fisher is soaked with champagne 8-)
  15. DIVISION CHAMPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. reivera arguing on strike 3. come on yost get ejected again
