  1. If Farmer is the guy on the radio, I can attest to that. I had the game on XM playing on the beach, I wasn't listening closely when it began but stopped to try and figure out what was up when he was going ballistic. The other guy (Singleton?) seemed to grasp what was happening, somewhat. But Farmer kept saying A) he hadn't seen the replay yet and B) whatever the call is, it has to be wrong. The other guy seemed to know what was happening, but was too afraid to speak up with the angry old man going ballistic. It was confusing as hell because they didn't seem interested in letting the listeners know what was happening, rather, they just wanted to bitch and moan. Even as the next inning began they were complaining, but by the end they gave up on the story as somebody must have gotten in their ear about how dumb they sounded.
  2. Mets fans are really fretting over their OF situation. Alou, Beltran and Green have all been banged up, while most think Alou is completely done. They've had a couple kids up but none of them have done much. I could definitely see them having interest in Jones.
  3. What's Bowen's catch count up to? I'm worried his mitt will wear down after this tough inning.
  4. the total is actually 5 (tree, GR, sarcastic, soul and SSR). but hey, that at least is closer than most of your comments in the realm of accuracy. Getting sick of you trying to pick fights with me...this is the 4th time in 3 days. People disagreeing with your opinions happen, its a message board. I disagree.
  5. Wait a second...Goony...did you just say a Cubs player...that Jim Hendry acquired...is "good"...? Someone mark this date down... I think he was being a lil facetious. Lee and Ramirez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. The Trib says he has not been charged with DUI, and results of the test won't be known for 2 weeks: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-070622-bears,1,7203424.story?coll=cs-bears-headlines I must admit, it's becoming tiresome reading about Tank and his escapades with the law. If we haven't gotten there already, we're fast approaching the point where addition by subtraction comes into play. Results wont be known for 2 weeks? What the hell kind of test did they give him? DNA. He's Daniellyn's father.
  7.

If we haven't gotten there already, we're fast approaching the point where addition by subtraction comes into play. If he doesn't have a DUI, then I'm guessing the interaction with the police will be enough to eliminate the possibility of 2 less games on the suspension.
  8. XM is providing the WSCR feed, some reporter announced it between innings. Chicagobears.com message board mentions it as well.
  9. Listening to the Score via XM and in between innings they reported Tank was pulled over going 40 in a 25 and the officer suspected drinking. If so, obviously the 6 game thing is no longer possible. But it's quite possible Goodell adds to the suspension. And since Angelo already wanted to dump him once, he may do just that now.
  10. tank johnson DUI. byebye tank
  11. Pat Hughes hedges his bets by saying every ball has a chance.
  12. That was the worst HR call I've ever heard on the radio. XM has the CWS crew. Straight monotone voice with no inflection or pauses in between any words. 3-2pitchswungonhittoleftandthat'sahomerunhehashithis13thoftheyear. He's like a 5th grader reading out of a text book.
  13. He can't play every day. Ok, well I think he can. I also think he needs to be surrounded by better talent. I also believe he should be a 2nd base, not at shortstop, but they have many 2nd baseman right now. One thing i was wondering, does his batting average drop corralate with his spot int he lineup? His batting average drop correlates with playing everday, because he shouldn't be doing it.
  14. You're right. Howry's inability to properly execute a simple rundown had no effect on yesterday's game. It's not like he let the winning run get safely back to second in the bottom of the 9th. Oh wait. This is what I'm talking about. A game where the starting pitcher gives up 5 early runs and the thing people most complain about is a rundown. It was a bad play on his part. But you know what, teams don't lose on one bad play. The Cubs offense was pathetic in Texas. What were the odds they were going to score against that bullpen in extra innings? They'd have lost one way or another. When teams win, people say they do everything right. When they lose, they have poor fundamentals. We've been hearing about fundamentals for years. For some reason nobody paid any attention to the fact that the team was always last in walks taken and 1st in walks allowed. They were unproductive hitters and ineffective pitchers. Produce and the plate and be effective on the mound and all these fundamental flaws won't be so glaring.
  15. The papers? If you are in a very loud, emotional face to face argument, would you ever think that getting closer to the other person would be a good way to settle things down? The papers reported that Barrett went into the clubhouse to calm things down, that was after the initial fight. The physical aspects of that fight very much fall on Barrett's shoulders. They both reached out and grabbed each other simultaneously.
  16. Hill has the higher ceiling, but can probably get you more in return. I'd try and include Murton, Colvin and Marshall in a deal for a solid bat.
  17. My favorite part was when somebody took that comment seriously. The standard defense against Hendry blasting has been, "Yeah, but he got us Ramirez and Lee so he can't be a bad GM."
  18. That's how I read it. Writers don't like to say players suck. They talk around such topics.
  19. I hope he's taking advantage of the per diem while he can.
