  1. Recker is actually younger than Lalli. Plus, his middle name is "Vito". Oh, for some reason I thought Lalli was like 25, 26. No matter, still a whatever deal.
  2. Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan has a .382 obp. He has batted above the 8th spot in the order a grand total of four times this season.
  3. Recker has better minor league numbers but is a few years older. I don't get the point of the deal. Better depth in case Castillo or Clevenger get hurt?
  4. I think we had a thread similar to this but anyway... First Cubs game was this one. We got owned by Glendon Rusch. I was like 13 and had only been to a few MLB games but I could tell how dumpy Shea was. Also really noisy due to proximity to the airport. And there were really annoying elderly Mets fans behind us. I remember vividly one lady kept referring to Desi Relaford as "my Desi" the whole game http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200107040.shtml First baseball game was a Yankees game when I was too young to remember anything. I do know the giveaway that game was a wooden bat, because we still have it. And I'm not talking a mini bat...it was a full size one. Could you imagine the fuss people would make these days?
  5. The Cubs have claimed right-hander Miguel Socolovich off of waivers from the Orioles, Doug Padilla of ESPNChicago.com reports (on Twitter). The Cubs designated catcher Blake Lalli for assignment to create roster space for Socolovich, who they optioned to Triple-A. Bad in a cup of coffee this year but good numbers in AAA. Org. filler/possible middle relief guy next year.
  6. Characters from Tim Burton films are automatically disqualified.
  7. jamey carroll says what's up
  8. stop being a jerk, keith He's having a fine season and is a solid fielder, but he probably shouldn't be a starter for more than a few years.
  9. do we even have much in the way of youth to promote? I guess Campana, but I think we pretty much know what we have in him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Don't people here still love Dave Sappelt?
  10. Well this is exciting. We still suck but the rest of the year should be way more fun.
  11. Decent backup for a few years. I wish him well, especially if it nets us better players.
  12. And he's still just 20. It's scary to think if he keeps this up what he'll be like in his prime.
  13. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Source: #Marlins close to sending Gaby Sanchez to #Pirates for OF Gorkys Hernandez and a competitive-balance pick.
  14. Haha, see, you say that.... Dodgers are gonna blink, if they really want Demp that badly.
  15. Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo Cards got Edward mujica for Zachary Cox
  16. Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 #Cubs are said to very much like 2 of #Yankees better low-down position players, Angelo Gumbs, Dante Bichette Jr. But not sure Yanks (cont) Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 would give up prospect they like to just upgrade on Freddy Garcia. #Yankees #Cubs
  17. Well it was so damn hard to tell with those titles. Let's get this thing over with!
  18. Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 #Cubs are said to very much like 2 of #Yankees better low-down position players, Angelo Gumbs, Dante Bichette Jr. But not sure Yanks (cont) Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 would give up prospect they like to just upgrade on Freddy Garcia. #Yankees #Cubs
  19. Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 Source tells me Dempster would go to #Yankees particularly because of relationship with Hendry who signed him to contract currently on #Cubs Hey, Hendry can be good for something after all!
  20. Gotta have that speed, dude
  21. Well, damn. If Gould is still there, who else could we get out of this?
  22. Unless that pitcher is Matt Garza no way in hell they trade Billy Hamilton for that.
  23. Good trade for the Astros. I don't know where those guys ranked in the D-Backs' system but their numbers are intriguing. And Johnson is a pretty meh third baseman.
