    Isn't it more like the NBA and WNBA? Softball and baseball are quite different.

    I had no idea. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=cerda&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos1 http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Matthew%20Cerda&pos=OF&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=543016

    Did you really just try and show the team was slumping over the past 5 games by removing the 3 highest scoring innings from those games?

    That's only if they get the Wed/Fri series though, right? Is that rotated between the league's and determined by the #1 seed? I don't know if I want to try and throw Harden twice in the division series. First of all, that likely means going with the bullpen early. Secondly, it also likely means extending him in back to back games, which I'm not excited about. I'd much rather use him as a potential game 1 starter in the NLCS, in which case I'd start with Dempster, Harden, Zambrano and give Lilly a start as well. Dempster could come back in a potentail game 5 matchup, and you can start Harden on a little extra rest in game 1 of the NLCS, and then thrown him in game 5 or 6 as well. The guy most likely to throw 8-9 great innings is Dempster. He is the guy you try and give extra starts to. He's also the one guy you don't owe millions to next year, so it's a little easier to risk his arm for the short-term benefit.

    No one is saying Lou is blaming Fukudome for the entire lack of offense. But we lost by 1 and he clearly called out Fukudome's AB for not picking up the RBI with a guy on 3rd and less than 2 outs. It's not a stretch to say he's putting a hefty amount of blame for the loss on Fukudome. I think that it is quite a stretch unless there's more context than the snippet provided in the first post. You don't know what question he's responding to, or if he talked about other failures before or after that quote. I'm not sure how you can call it a stretch.

    Usually keep 6 WRs right? Davis, Hester, Lloyd, Bennett are the locks. I'm assuming Hass is the 5th if Booker or Bradley could lose out on a spot. They're keeping 4 RB's probably though. The reports are that there will be 5 WR's, and that either Booker or Bradley will get that spot. I haven't even heard Hass in the discussion. I don't know why they'd keep Booker over Bradley if they think Bradley is healthy...why not see what you have with him? Which RB gets the axe? Have you heard anything on that? I've heard something pretty scary, but it was just speculation. Speculation is they'll keep all 4. Forte, AP, Jones and Wolfe. AP plays special teams too, so they can justify it that way. Plus, they are inexplicably holding a roster spot for Williams, which means they need an extra spot for a lineman. The best case scenario is he will miss half a season. Why not just IR him and have him concentrate on being ready for 2009?

    I long for the day when athletes are never interviewed They interviewed the US runner last night that finished 2nd to Usain Bolt but was DQ'd, and he came off like a jerk, but considering he'd just found out that he was DQ'd and was not getting a silver medal, that's understandable. My wife and I were both pretty ticked that they'd interview him right then. Terrible. When did you find out? Just now. What are you going to do? Protest. You are going to protest? Yeah, why not? I don't think he came across as a jerk. I think he came across as a guy who was coming to grips with losing a race.

    Are you a Cubs fan? If so, you shouldn't want to handicap the Cubs by forcing them to play 2 of the best teams every year while their competition would almost always play somebody weaker. I'm fine with playing them once every few years.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    I don't like the Cuba jersey, and I like dark blue, but no pinstripes on that one.

    If the question is when are you allowed to talk about magic numbers, I'd say as soon as you can accurately figure it out.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    They are the same in that they are sleeved buttoned up shirts with Cubs related names, numbers and logos on them. Otherwise they are quite different from what they currently wear.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I don't know how much talk there has been, but the Bears do use their TE in the slot on occasion.

    why does any olympic athlete that anyone thinks is hot have to have a face like ivan drago? If Ivan Drago looked like that I'd go gay. you'd sleep with ivan drago? awesome. I don't know how much sleeping we'd be doing.

    They might win 100 games. If they do that and win the world series, they will be among a fairly large group of really really good champions. But I don't know about "over the top great". 100 wins, a run differential of near 200, and a championship would have to qualify in my book. Especially (but not limited to) within the context of what's being said in this thread...only an idiot would question that team's legitimacy as a deserving champion. This team is very good to great in every facet of the game. I don't know if you'd need them to challenge the win record or something to be considered "over the top great"...?? I don't know what over the top great means, but it sounds to me like something that requires something along the lines of record setting seasons. There's the top, and then there's over the top. The 98 Yankees were probably over the top great. 110 wins, 300+ run differential, 11-2 in the postseason, 3-4 Hall of Fame players. The 2002 Angels were not over the top great. 99 wins, 200+ run differential.

    There would be no "bad" team, other than for a TV viewer having to watch a game in Tampa. History will remember a team won the World Series.

    The red underlined Chicago looks hideous, as does the all-white. I do like the idea of navy blue, the throwback unis they wore back in one of the first interleague seasons in US Cellular were great.

    I think it's a pretty convenient excuse to say these were non-pitching related injuries.

    They were talking about that on comcast a little while ago. Does he have any speed left? If not, then I don't see how he would help us. We've already got a cadre of slower possession type receivers. Getting Horn is akin to the Sox getting Griffey: get an old, slow player for an old, slow team. Why? Yeah if he's slow now, I don't see the point. Actually I didn't see the point of Booker either, but that's another story. I'm gonna make a prediction: Booker doesn't make the team. That has certainly picked up steam in the past week or two. He's essentially a slight downgrade to Moose, but Moose was pretty worthless last year. I'd prefer it if some younger guys beat him out, which at the very least could be a positive in the future. Booker isn't going to be a part of this team if/when they ever return to elite SB contender status.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Fixed. Thanks for the post but it really doesn't matter. The fact they fail to see anything with regards to Sori and what his value is speaks to how clueless they really are. I gave them the team record and personal stats and it still doesn't register with them. No worries. The team record with and without him has absolutely no baring on the freaking MVP voting. It's an oscure point of trivia. The guy is a valuable member of the Cubs. He is not a legit MVP candidate in the national league this year.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    oh please A person made a stupid argument based on random bits of trivia and he refused to defend it with any logic.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    It's not a matter of whether or not he is considered. But if somebody has better numbers and ends up playing in 9-10 more games than him (he's on pace for 151) then it only makes sense that the other person would get the nod.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    The hope is that he'll pitch well enough in relief in September that he'll be in the postseason bullpen instead of Howry. maybe he will, but that is alot to hope for from a guy who's been out of action for a year and a history of arm troubles. I don't know if it's that much to hope for. Essentially people hope he pitches better than Howry has been pitching. His rehab progress suggests he may be able to do that, and Howry isn't exactly providing a difficult threshold.

    Calling for Rodgers head is stupid. He is essentially a rookie QB, and isn't going to be Brett Favre right away. In fact at his ceiling he isn't going to be anywhere close to Brett Favre. Packers fanse understand this and are willing to give him a chance. He is an unproven commidity and the Packers don't know what they have in him, and until they do the fanbase and franchise will remain commited. If Bears fans were calling for the head of Rodgers in the exact same situation in Chicago, and wanted Matt Flynn to start over him I think I would laugh myself to death. Some of these Bear fans? I wouldn't put it past 'em, given the hypothetical situation. Chicago is the town, after all, that has been in love with it's QB depth chart for over 20 years. They are also the town that hasn't had a really good QB in forever. The fans might not be calm, cool and collected, but they haven't been wrong about their QBs either. Guys didn't fail because fans were trigger happy. The team has done a horrible job bringing in offensive brainpower and quarterbacks. There's no disputing that fact.
