  1. How do you get Fox at 3B is coming..... out of that blurb? He's taking some balls out there and Lou has his doubts, if Trammel says the guy is okay he might get a look. But it doesn't say it's happening.
  2. Wow, who would have thought that trade was about getting more left handed?
  3. Let Khabi walk, work on deals for the core guys, let the marketplace work itself out with Havlat and if the price is reasonable after he shops himself, consider bringing him back.
  4. Yeah, I'm hoping they're all over this. Prepare to be disappointed. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/huddleup/2009/05/dont-expect-the-chicago-bears-to-pursue-freeagent-receiver-matt-jones.html Call me crazy, but that sounds like he's leaving open the possibility of at least looking at the guy. He's very talented. We won't move quickly. We have to do our homework. You have to look what he brings to the team on the field.
  5. Yeah, but do you still think he's bad? I never said he's anything special, but all indications are he's as good as any goalie needs to be to allow a quality team to succeed in the playoffs.
  6. I didn't get to see the game. Was there contact? It's hard to tell from that video. Doesn't seem like anything suspendable, but who knows these days. From that video it looks like Z pushed the ump away with his forearm. Def going to get 6 game suspension for sure, so he has to miss a start. I loved when Z decided to toss the umpire out. Hilarious. :) ESPNews had an angle that made it look like there was a brushing of arm skin. Anyway, 6 games isn't really missing a start, it's just pushing it back a day, unless they do something like hold an appeal and then release the final ruling the day before he's scheduled, then he could be out for 10 games and truly miss a start.
  7. Like when at the end of the game the other team has more runs than Pittsburgh?
  8. I'm going to assume whatever suspension Zambrano gets will be appealed and not take place for a little while. But I'd bet they'd do what they can to try and make him miss a start, like making it 6 days or something. That could keep Marshall in the rotation a little longer.
  9. Better get there quickly before it gets to hot and they run out hats.
  10. 3-run lead and you walk the [expletive] leadoff hitter. You douchebag!
  11. Did he prevent Zambrano from getting tossed?
  12. I'd rather just let the SOB pinch hit once a game. Even if the situation just calls for a guy who can get on base, let Fox be your first RH bat off the bench every game.
  13. Cubs need to keep lead at 1, if it goes to 4 that's when Gregg will suck.
  14. Looks like Chavez Chavez is replacing him. Kinda like Duran Duran? No, more like the guy Lou Diamond Phillips played in Young Guns.

  16. Doesn't matter. A player doesn't have a right to stand in the ump's face and argue a call. If contact happens while the player is doing that, that's his own fault. That's not true. Players absolutey have the right to argue. They get away with it with regularity. Umps have been reprimanded for provoking incidents, it could happen again. Even if he didn't have the right to get in his face to argue the call MLB can't suspend Z for making contact when he didn't initiate it. They can do whatever they want though.
  17. Getting away with it and having the right to do it aren't really the same thing. Yes they are, the precedent has been set for decades that players are allowed to argue right in front of the ump.

  19. Lazy? Besides, if you think he's a piece of [expletive], it's nice that you still show him respect and call him "Mister." Yes, that kind of error by a major league outfielder is very much a lazy error. He's always been bad at fielding ground balls as an IFer or an OFer. It's less laziness and more just a weakness. No, that's a weakness based in laziness. It's a routine play he consistently screws up due to a lack of focus, which is laziness on a baseball field, as opposed to ability.

  21. These idiots and their ump whining are driving me nuts.
  22. I'm not sure your label is all that accurate, they are just throwing out names of teams who might fit what is probably an agent-fueled false rumor.
  23. 4th time thru, 110+ pitches, me no likey.
  24. The forfeit lineup hasn't done a thing, it's the quality pitcher they are throwing that's kept it close.
