    It was obviously not true at the time, and I have no idea why he said it. He's a Phillies fan so a lot of it was just hero worship and being a sycophant toward a guy he thought he could buddy up to. I guess once a cokehead always a cokehead and stupid things will fly out of your mouth.

    So I stayed up late to finish last night's game and the girl decided to wake up really extra early for no good reason this morning. I might fall asleep at this game tonight, unless there a big thunderstorm to wake me up. On a side note, it's going to be the first time in a lonnngggggggggggg time I won't be getting drunk at a ballpark. I hate parks that require driving.

    He's a "good baseball man" and once you get that label you will always have that label amongst a significant portion of the media and other "baseball men". Also, he sort of embodies the anti-analyst type of GM, and since his team made the playoffs three times under his watch, and you can shift blame for the demise on ownership, he will always get a free pass.

    Jaywalking is the only way to walk.

    Nothings going to change that without a divorce.

    We could sweep them and that'd still be an annoying weekend. No, that would be pretty glorious. Right now I've got the Stanley Cup Finals, most recent Bears/Eagles game and most recent Bears @ Eagles game. I used to have a nice streak of seeing the Cubs win there, but it's been a long time.

    This could end up being a very annoying weekend for me as I am going to be surrounded by Phillies fans. Well, now they are Phillies fans, 5 years ago the topic never came up.

    Is he working for the Cardinals?

    +1 Absolutely. Agreed. Vince McMahon agrees too. sports A lot of those guys are athletes on par with any other sport. Being athletic doesn't mean you are participating in a sport.

    Saw that, then saw his line. .277/.365/.323 A LF with 15 singles and 3 doubles and a relatively high number of strikeouts, 18. Still only 19 though. What's his story?
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I prefer to enjoy the wins and not get upset about the losses at this point. There's got to be another 40ish of these remaining.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    uh oh, save opportunity.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Haha! Point and laugh at the silly relief pitcher with the balk. Do you get an RBI there?

    But that means paying the buyout plus risking the arbitration money. You wouldn't take that risk if he ends up with 20+ hr this year? You know he'll have a decent BA, walk enough that the OBP is at least passable. If he ends up with 20+HR, he may be the third best position player on the market this coming offseason. Not to mention that he'd be a good bet to earn his $15M next year. Oh...the buyout doesn't factor into the calculation at all. That's going to be there one way or another. Unless you're suggesting it may be better to pick up the option if he finishes the year strongly. That is the suggestion. If you pay the buyout then offer arbitration and you somehow take 20% off this year's salary, you are paying $13.7m, so profit! But if you pay the $2m and just pay him the same salary as this year, it's a loss. Maybe you absorb that loss in hopes of getting those picks. Either way, if he has any sort of recovery, you don't cut him and let walk without arbitration.

    You can't lose 'em all, you just have to lose the series. Sometimes you just tip your cap, to....yourself? Teammates? The team that lost?

    Fukudome doubled to a Cubs fan.

    There's like 70 OPS points seperating them, and it's a day game after a night game. The only reason that there is "70" points separating them is that Soto is struggling at the plate. He needs AB's. The only real justification is the day/night games but he has missed a ton of playing time this year. He should be in there. But it is a day game after a night game, and Geo has sucked. He's going to get plenty of playing time the rest of the way. But he will most likely sit all day games after a night game unless he's ridiculously hot and the team somehow gets back into it. That is not currently the case, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with sitting him on the day after a night game before a trip to Philadelphia when it is going to be about a billion degrees.

    I don't know if people are stupid enough to hate a guy for one game. Because that were be really moronic.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    yay for turning the lineup over.

    More often than not Ryan has been really good, certainly worth his salary. The hate for him, especially given all the more deserving targets, has been bizarre. Granted, it's only been from a couple of people. It's got to be a carryover effect from his time as closer during the previous dark period of Hendry era. He kind of sucked in the bullpen and has been a solid starter (before this year).

    Annoying sequence there. People may view it as failure to bring in a guy from third, I view it as failure of only trying to bring in a guy from third. Barney seemed to want to pop it up to the right side, and DeWitt was just trying to hit it on the ground to the right side. They both did what they were looking to do, but it still didn't count. I prefer guys just try and hit in that situation instead of limiting their preferable outcomes.

    Day game after night game replacing a catcher who has sucked this year. What's the big deal?
