    \ Unless he's Chase Utley.

    Good job by Lilly, but I think I'd have given the IBB to Reed there, too. A guy who can't hit righties should'nt be IBB.

    OBP by outs 0 - .367 1 - .407 2 - .332 With 2 outs RISP .344. They don't really get on a lot with 2 outs, and when they do it's more often with risp than anything else.

    Very odd choice by AZ.

    Is it even true that they have fewer front office types than most teams? They have about a half dozen special assistants to the GM. They've got 15 names in the baseball ops section. I'm sure teams like the Mets and White Sox, with a bunch of people actually considered part of the ownership group, probably have more names. And the Yankees seemingly have 2 front offices, in the Bronx and in Tampa. But I've never heard anything about the Cubs lacking bodies in the front office. I think I remember reading something that said the Cubs have the fewest full-time employees (employees working all year round) than any other team in baseball. Sounds more like back office types than what I consider front office. Front office are your heads of baseball operations and whatnot. Marketing and ticket sales people are more like support staff, especially for a team like the Cubs that doesn't need help selling tickets.

    Sounded fairly tame on the radio. But the team has been playing horribly, they are losing early in game 1 of a homestand against a team that embarrassed them in the playoffs. They wasted a leadoff hit, and a completely frozen stiff Soriano made another out. I think there was a lot too boo about if somebody was prone to the booing.

    Personally, Id rather see Cotts up than Eyre. Maybe Marshall can prove himself in AAA, but with Lous mentality lately, it wont really matter. I agree with LLF, Cotts has been piching real well at Iowa. Why not give him a shot? There are rules about major league players and rehab assignments. Basically, they had to bring up Eyre pretty soon anyway or cut him. He's also a veteran the Cubs invested a bad contract in, so rules or no rules, he was getting first dibs.

    Oh darn, you mean I don't get to watch him K 3 times today? No, but you do get to watch Reed continue to suck it up hardcore against another lefty.

    How early did the Marlins make the move in 2003?

    How is Fuld doing at Iowa? A sterling .192/.288/.269 in 52 ABs Wow....that ain't good. Thanks JG. To be fair, he's battled a thumb injury that might be a primary reason his numbers are down. To be fairer, he's not really that good. raw is the fairest of them all.

    It makes sense to me that he'd be considered one of the best by the people who agree with his methods, while people with opposite viewpoints would not hold him in high esteem.

    They're skipping him on the theory that the less he pitches the better off the team will be. They aren't really skipping him. They are pushing him back a couple days. With an off day yesterday he'll have 7 days rest instead of what would have been 5 (had the rotation remain intact).
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Of course the same holds true for your 17th, 18th, 19th and probably, 45th birthdays.

    They are currently investigating the situation with all unsigned free agents.

    I assumed the question spoke for itself. In other words, will he be president for the entire term or will something, anything, prevent that from happening. It can be morbid, but it's not absurd. World leaders not lasting their entire term can happen. And more than one US president has failed to fill out his term. I agree its not absurd. But why isn't there a poll asking if John McCain would make it all 4 years? He's not black (and I'm assuming this was the impetus for the discussion) , but he's pretty damn old. I don't think you really needed to ask the question. A first-time black president is unique. An old guy is not. Plus, if Barack gets the nomination, he's also most likely to win. Obama has some Kennedy/MLK qualities to him, and we all know those histories. It's a legit issue.

    Most 21st birthdays involve guys getting so wasted they either wouldn't remember a hook-up, or would hook-up with somebody not worth it. All those positives of Halloween are exactly the same with or without the birthday. Your costume will bring the attention. July 4 has girls in bikinis. The day-time can be family oriented, but the bars won't be, and that's where a 21-year old is going. I don't know anybody who doesn't go out for the 4th. Cinco de Mayo involves tequila, so while there may not be the same quality...... Agree on New Years. As for your last point. That can only be true if you live in the boonies. If people want to find a crowd, they can, any day of the week in any decent city in America.

    Bonds wouldn't get out of bed for that much. For a chance to win the WS? He might very well do so. i think you're severely overestimating barry bonds' desire to win a championship. Bonds said he would give up all his home run records for a championship, your massively underestimating it. Jim McGreevey said "I do" to his wife. I think Barry would really like to win one if only to add to his own personal accomplishment list.

    Dubya broke the "president elected for first time in a year ending in 0 will get shot" streak right?

    I think that's why Zell has tried to sell Wrigley first, so he can have the team sign a lease with the owner of Wrigley that the new owner would be locked into. So, in theory a new owner of the team without Wrigley could build a new park, but if they are locked into a lease they would be tied to the park for at least as long as the lease is for. Here's a question - in this little scenario (where the Cubs and Wrigley are sold separately, and the new owner is locked into a lease), could the Cubs still build and move in to a new field, and just continue paying the old lease at Wrigley? I mean, would they have to actually PLAY at Wrigley, or just keep making lease payements?? They would have to continue playing there. It would depend on the terms of the lease and how much they'd be willing to pay to get out of it.

    fixed. anyway, what about gay male reporters going into male locker rooms or gay female reporters going into locker rooms? if straight women are concerned about men going into their locker rooms for fear of being leered at, shouldn't they also be worried about gay women coming into the locker room and doing just that? who cares. the women who don't want male reporters in their locker rooms, obviously. Unless the reason they don't want the male reporters there is because they themselves are gay and would prefer to show the goods to lady reporters. No use wasting a good towel repositioning.

    By everyone do you mean hookers and by customers do you mean Johns? The only right answer is other. New Years would be horrible. Halloween has some upside, but a lot of the best Halloween parties don't necessarily fall on that day, it can be before. Bottom line is you are somebody who is going to party on your 21st, you are already going to party for all those holidays. Why not mix one more holiday into your year. The better question is, what day of the week is best. Assuming you are in college, a Wednesday or Thursday may be best. Mine was a Friday, I think. My parents visited the next day and while we were eating lunch at a bar/restaurant near campus I had a lot of people stop by to comment on my birthday the night before, most of which I don't remember seeing.

    I know over the weekend Ward had a hamstring issue. He's been available for pinch-hitting, but that's it. Was that issue somebody tied a ham to a string and kept pulling it away when he got close to it?

    That's pretty poor reasoning. really? why? they've lost every tinkered-with game. if i remember correctly, they shuffled the rotation to allow marquis (and not hill) to start against the brewers. they lost. hill was then nine days removed from his last start when he threw against the cardinals. they lost that game. and lieber, who took hill's spot in the rotation, got battered today. they lost. you really don't see how this rotation shuffle hurt the cubs? I don't think it's the reason they're 3-6. There's never one reason. But it certainly appears to be a significant factor. Lou had to go get his paws on things to justify his standing as the wise ole' manager. Things were going fine, and he freaked out.
