  1. A year ago, I would have gone with Bowden after holding onto Soriano at the trade deadline, but after the past year and collecting Wily Mo Pena and Lastings Milledge, I think he's redeemed himself enough, to let Sabean sneak past him for the honor.
  2. I can't wait till Festivus, I need to air out my grievance, with him, Coach K, DeMarcus Nelson, Kyle Singler, Gerald Henderson, and Dave McClure for their parts in that loss. (mostly McClure and Coach K)
  3. 41-32 Duke 13:28 in second half.
  4. Life would be so much easier if Bedard wasn't left handed.
  5. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3158954 This is terrible 1) he stays in the NL Central 2) The team most starved for pitching in the Central gets him, If he returns to form the Astros rotation suddenly looks a lot better with an Oswalt-Prior 1-2 punch.
  6. The Falcons lost today, while Chris Redman threw for something like 37 yards. With the third pick in the draft, the Atlanta Falcons select Andre Woodson.
  7. GEOVANY SOTO If you meant a jersey shirt, I imagine they'll start showing up in select outlets once the new season starts and Soto (possibly/hopefully) adopts a new uniform number. This season was the first time Soto had made any real impact on the team, and with him penciled in as the starting catcher next season, I'm sure he'll get a shirt, even if it is hard to find. I've seen authentic-style Fontenot, Marmol and Theriot shirts in some places around Wrigley; if a backup second baseman, a middle reliever and a glorified utilityman can get shirts, I'm sure the starting catcher can. ...Geovany Soto Guess I didn't look hard enough :oops:
  8. Some of the best players on the list, not necessarily fitting a need for the Cubs (* means contract includes 2009 option, don't know if team or player option) Mark Teixeira ATL Orlando Hudson ARZ Orlando Cabrera CWS Edgar Renteria * DET Hank Blalock * TEX Ivan Rodriguez DET Jason Varitek BOS Bobby Abreu NYY Rocco Baldelli * TB Pat Burrell PHI Carl Crawford * TB Adam Dunn CIN Ken Griffey Jr. * CIN Vladimir Guerrero * LAA Wily Mo Pena WAS Manny Ramirez * BOS A.J. Burnett TOR (may opt out) Jon Garland LAA Rich Harden * OAK John Lackey * LAA Derek Lowe LAD Pedro Martinez NYM Mark Mulder * STL Brad Penny * LAD C.C. Sabathia CLE Johan Santana MIN Ben Sheets MIL John Smoltz * ATL Oliver Perez NYM Steve Trachsel BAL I chose to ignore bullpen arms, because there are a lot of them that might be helpful and I could see us signing no more than one of them (excluding Wood)
  9. Nope. What you got from Wrigleyville Sports is identical to the custom t-shirts MLB.com sells, with all-white lettering and a stock typeface. The red-with-white lettering is done only on the mass-produced shirts like this one. With that said, you know the Cubs are going to promote the hell out of Fukudome. Very doubtful if they'll be available before Christmas, but I'd be very surprised if a mass-produced KOSUKE 1 jersey shirt weren't made available relatively soon. Keep an eye on CubWorld, as they have some player shirts that I rarely see elsehwere, like Murton, Hill, DeRosa and Theriot. No Soto jerseys :(
  10. I would rather keep Murton than Pie, too. However, we could find a lot better value for Pie/Gallagher that Brian freaking Roberts. For instance, Pie/Gallagher would be a real nice start on a Khalil Greene trade. That's what I was thinking

  12. Yea, I was tricked at first, too. Soriano at leadoff and Soto 8th threw me off. Geovany Soto

  16. Brian Zoubek says hi.
  17. Its not a coincidence that the best player of the opposing team gets in foul trouble immediatly in almost every game Duke plays, and it has nothing to do with them going after him. God if only the other coaches had the forsight to go after the other teams best players. But, alas ony Coach K in his infinite wisdom has come up with that plan. Oh well maybe I will email Bruce Weber and let him know of this strategy. I didnt say that, bu tthere is no way that with different referees, wisconsin would win this game.
