    Hendry owes Soriano an apology. He just sent his BFF down to AAA, so now Soriano will hit another super-slump as he mopes about without his lil' buddy

    i have this bad feeling that Fukudome will still be hitting 5th. I would be completely unsurprised to see: Soriano Theriot Lee Ramirez Fukudome Edmonds Soto DeRosa Dempster

    736/736-1 my money would be on it being the Padres feed though (re: WCIU)

    you know who else really played well at Wrigley? Jeff Blauser

    it's not Tuesday? it's not 1987? my name's not Louis Farrakhan?

    nothing quite makes my Tuesday afternoon like NSBB hand-wringing

    booing him would require going to a Cubs game, which probably isn't happening any time soon for me

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but this has been an ongoing issue all year, and he's been expected to sit-out of things. Once Briggs was done this went on the front-burner, and Angelo has hinted that he's not about to bend in the least. I'm somewhat neutral. Urlacher is under contract, but he's also a special case. Guys are asked to renegotiate for the team all the time, they can be cut at any time. And it's somewhat standard practice to give raises to players who are outperforming their contract. I believe Urlacher has been outperforming what has turned out to be a very team friendly contract. If he plays this year without a new deal, he will have a very good argument to make a stink next offseason. I think they can give in to him a little this year, but actually wind up saving a little in the longterm. i understand that the NFL's salary system sucks, but pro athletes need to suck it up and honor their contracts. if he thought he was worth more, he should have asked for more money (or fewer years)

    in other news, what's this crap about Urlacher sitting out of mandatory mini-camp because of a "contract dispute". hey jerk, you're under contract. there is no dispute

    because there is seemingly nothing left for Pie to prove or accomplish in Iowa. he dominated there for two years and still struggled when given (sporadic) time with the Cubs. he needs to be given time to adjust to MLB pitching. going back down and demolishing the PCL pitchers won't accomplish anything except unnecessarily delaying his development even further. they are winning and scoring runs with almost no production in CF against RHP. there is literally no better time for them to stick with Felix and let him take his lumps and adjust. they can afford it right now. who knows if they can in September or in 2009? it is absolutely the perfect time for him to be out there. if they aren't willing to do that now, then i have to wonder if they ever will be. Everyone keeps putting up that arguement that he has nothing left to prove or accomplish. Its not about proving or accomplishing anymore. Its about getting reps, regular playing time, and confidence. he needs reps, regular playing time and confidence in the majors.

    yet another Dallas Green thread that is completely untrue.
  20. Derwood
    the deal is being written entirely from the Yankees POV. it's best just to ignore it

    too bad Lou has successfully bullied the local media into not asking him any tough questions about anything. with all due respect to Bruce and his fellow reporters, it seems like Lou has created an environment of "question me about anything and i'm out the door" in the press room after games.

    i have no problem with my boy from Penn State getting paid. i'm a little biased though. it may not be a fiscally sound move by the Bears, but my cockles are warmed by the little towheaded Nittany Lion going undrafted, bouncing around camps, and then winning the starting job and getting paid
