The Bears offensive line is the worst in the NFL...bar none. On top of that, I really wish there was a better way to quanitfy oline play because I think they be one of the worst all time in the NFL. It is pretty sad that Angelo, armed with a mid 1st rounder in one of the deepest Oline drafts ever, has created this situation.

that's Manny being Manny....

I thought it was a bad decision by Lou at the time because Ward was a DP candidate and that would have ended the game.

The NBA did it and it has worked just wonders.

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying..can't we invest in a better pharmicist for our minor league system?

WTF ......Billingsley!

who do these young punks think they are?

Billingsley goes tonight...I don't think Parra has been the same since the Cubbie's roughed him up.

I'm guessing if Santo was there it would have been something like this... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It wouldn't be a minor league game thread w/o asking about Vitter's line tonight....

Cox ain't crap without Shuerholtz...he was the magic.

I know he's had a tough year, but great to see Ward come through...he seems like a great guy and teammate.

bean Francour and let's call it a night.

Nice, we can blow this wide open, and then retailate next inning for Soriano.

so have someone worhtless like Cotts throw at a Brave. You have to protect your players.

I hope Lou retailates in Game 2. You have to protect Soriano, this is just nuts.

Yeah, thats ridiculous. I've been to Atlanta a lot to watch the cubs, good teams and bad. There is always a huge cubs population in attendance. Id expect that from some announcers, but not Chip. Youd think hed know better. Its not our fault he jumped onto a sinking ship. Whatever, lets do it again tonight. Chip's pissed becaues now without his Grandpa or Dad around, there isn't anyone to get him jobs anymore.

The Braves prove again they are the most classless organization in MLB.

I still don't understand why they threw @ Soriano? That doesn't make sense? Was it because Dempster threw @ McCann last game?

Cox is such a jagbag. I really hate him.

If the intent is to keep Guzman in the pen, they really have the potential for a studly young bullpen the next few years. Marmol Shark Guzman Cashner(assuming he accelerates rapidly)

Too bad we didn't sign Alexi Ramirez from the cuba minor leagues, he is tearing it up. There has to be some more good Cubans down there??!!?1

Whogivesacrapaboutstrkeouts? When you strikeout 25 - 30% of your plate appearances (30 - 35% of your abs) it matters. It's not the be all and end all and he definately offsets it at least partitially in other areas but it is still a negative. If you are going to tout the positives it dimishes the argument if you simply ignore the negatives. It's simply not a negative if his productivity is still there. But you have to break down some of his productivity regarding the K's though. I wonder how many times he K'd w/a runner on third w/less than 2 outs? He's a heck of a hitter but I'm sure he's quite maddning to have on your team at times as well. That's is meaningless. What about a guy who doesn't K, but grounds into a DP with runners on with less than 2 outs? As said previously, and out is an out. Once again, an out is not an out in real life. It depends on the situation. A DP is 2 outs. Just answer this, would you rather have Dunn hit a fly ball to the OF or K w/ a runner at third w/less than 2 outs? I want Adam Dunn in my lineup. I'm not saying I wouldn't want Dunn or a similar hitter in my lineup. What I said was A) it could be maddning and B) An out isn't an out. You know what is even more maddening...and outfielder that doesn't produce. Dunn produces...that really is the bottom line.

make no mistake, Rozner is still a d-bag.
