i got all ready to say screw it and head down for the game, but then outs starting flying by, and i realized i wouldn't get there til the 7th at the earliest. plus, the no-hitter's over (boo!). 5 ip, 1 h, 0 bb, 8 k's
yeah, well, i didn't see any reason why hill would be in the minors this long when he's been arguably the best pitcher in minor league baseball over the past two seasons and the cubs are 400 games under .500. but the cubs can surprise you like that.
So, if you trade Aram and get Arod in return, you're blowing up the team? I don't uderstand. Does Arod play for Dodgers? See MY post above. :D To be serious, I would not trade Aram for prosects unless I knew for sure that he was going to opt out of his contract. It has taken the Cubs 30 + years to find a quality 3b, and I dont want to wait for another 30 years. And no, Arod does not play for the Dogers. :lol: that's kind of a silly reason to want to keep him.
yeah, thank heaven we were able to preserve the ever valuable arms of roberto novoa, scott williamson and will ohman. i don't know what i'd do if one of them were to be overworked.
where'd you see that hill's starting game 1? i'm probably going to one of the games, and i want to make it the one hill's starting. from the i-cubs website...
Besides general business ethics, yes, the commissioner's office would most definitely get involved. Maddux to the Dodgers with everyone knowing that if Maddux intends to suit up next season at all it will be as a Cub is more likely. if maddux comes back to the cubs in '07 i'm going to be oh so disappointed.
it has been absolutely miserable this week in des moines...heat indexes were up in the 110-120 range for parts of iowa, and power was out where i live monday night. probably had something to do w/ it.
