    Delgado with a grand slam and the Mets are winning 11-4. Good thing Jeter sacrificed in the third inning, he should probably do it a couple more times.

    really? the first place, best record in baseball 2008 cubs remind you of the 96-loss 2006 cubs? sorry, dudes, but it is really, really hard to stomach these threads. try enjoying the season a bit. He's just saying he gets a weird feeling right now. Haven't you ever gotten a creepy feeling in real life where you feel like something is wrong even though nothing is? You people are weird.

    That heady Jeter fella bunts right back to the pitcher and will get applauded for the sacrifice.

    I would guess it's partly that and the fact that 2 pitching coaches with great reputations have both just gotten completely frustrated with him because he wouldn't listen to them. I think that's mainly it. He has a reputation of, after one semi-successful year with a team, he gets an attitude that he knows it all and doesn't need coaching. That was reportedly the case with both Atlanta (Mazzone) and St. Louis (Duncan). I agree that this is the main reason. He also sounds very smug sometimes, during interviews. That's just the Long Island accent.

    if you're referring to me, that's not what I was saying. I was only pointing out they had similar numbers in their final years of college. What about their first years?

    Actually, this series is part of that 10-game road trip. After this series they will have 7 games on the road.

    Reyes looking silly in the field. ARod just choked St. Jeter across the plate. Dirk Giambi at the plate.

    Only Lee and Ramirez have played more innings than Theriot at their respective positions. He's on pace to blow by last year's totals when everybody said he tired down the stretch. He needs to rest sometime. You can't expect him to keep up this current pace.

    So did he injure his teeth?

    Day-night cross borough double header, the Yankees just tied up the Mets in the early game, 1-1 in the first.

    Dave Duncan has routinely turned mediocre guys into solid pitchers. I highly doubt it's luck.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    He never had one before coming to the Cubs. His improvement was drastic and the decline equally so. It probably makes sense.

    So you think they should get 2 starters? I don't see how that is possible. Hopefully they can get one good starter. But the rest of the arms that will become available will probably not be any better than their own guys, and since pitching is already overvalued, you'll just have to pay even more using lord-knows-what as bait for two arms. I think people put a bit too much emphasis on trade deadline acquisitions. Every year we hear about the guy who is going to put some contender over the top, but it rarely works out that way.

    Maybe to fans, but I doubt to anybody that matters. It could indicate his value and status is a little higher than people may have thought before.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    If teams think about this stuff....maybe they don't care...I dunno... I would hope they wouldn't care. That sort of superfluous concern doesn't really help the team at all.

    The notion that bosses/managers/gms can't yell at a player/employee in front of others is laughable. Chacon sounds like Ryan Leaf going off on that reported. It's unprofessional, bad for morale, and can create the appearance of a hostile workplace. If you want to get the most out of your employees and get them to respect management, having a profanity-laced tirade in front of them isn't the best way to go. There are more professional ways of dealing with insubordination. I understand that the manager/boss is limited in his/her options if the employee flat-out refuses to meet in private to discuss the matter. However, in many companies, you can get HR involved, or (in a worst case scenario) have security help the employee box up their stuff and escort them off the premises. Obviously, that doesn't necessarily apply to sports, but that doesn't mean the only option is to yell and scream in front of people. If Chacon wanted to talk right there in front of everyone, he could have said what needed to be said in a professional but direct manner (maybe he did and Chacon is lying...I don't know). I'm not saying you need to handle people with kid gloves, but when you are managing people, you need to act in a professional manner. You're right, he should have gone to HR to fix things.

    I guess with the DH, we can afford to be down a reliever, but the way a lot of them have been throwing lately, I dont know. Basically, Lou will be forced to go with Cotts as a loogy, and we might need to see more Wuertz than we'd like. I trust Demp for the most part, but I hope Gallagher and Marshall can step up. Having a DH means you can get by easier with one less bat on the bench, not with one less reliever in the pen. You're facing more hitters and less pitchers, so more relievers is better. You don't have any double switches due to pitching changes, so the bench doesn't get chewed as quickly. Not having Eyre for the Sox series is not good if we don't get another pitcher up. If you can get more innings out of your pitcher it can, as you dont have to worry about double switches or batting for the pitcher in general. The DH doesn't mean you can get more innings out of your starter. If anything, the guy would likely leave sooner, as he'd face a DH 3 times instead of a pitcher.

    No joke, I would much rather be active early rather than later. I don't want to wait till the last hour of the deadline like we did with Nomar. My guess is that the Indians will want CC representing them at the ASG, so I'm guessing it won't happen till after that if it happens. Or, trade him now, and MLB will be forced to use one of your other players that will actually be a part of your future on the AS roster.

    Why is it wrong to yell at an obscenely insubordinate employee? In front of everyone to the point where that person physically assaults you? There was nothing wrong with confronting him...but Wade crossed a line here too. There are disciplinary measures that can be taken for insubordination. What did he think yelling would accomplish? This sounds like something you'd say to a 4th grader. The guy is a well compensated employee who refused to follow instructions from his bosses. He didn't accidentally put the wrong paper in the copy machine. I'm just going to say it sounds like a poor management style. It obviously backfired on Wade, and now the players probably have even less respect for him than they did. The notion that bosses/managers/gms can't yell at a player/employee in front of others is laughable. Chacon sounds like Ryan Leaf going off on that reported.

    "Par for the year." That's fantastic. Why was he in bed with his son anyway?
