he's still bitter that he got run out of chicago 15 years ago and had to go write his dreck for the San Jose Picayune
-
it reminds me of how Bonds constantly infers that people treat him differently because he's black......you know, the people in the gated community of millionaires where he grew up

Sucks for Milwaukee. was this a known risk? if not, i could see this getting very ugly Milwaukee should have known better. The Chinese made it very clear where he would and would not go, and they needed to work within that. Milwaukee made the mistake that the either thought they could deal Yi, or sell him on Wisconsin. Whoops. i guess i don't understand how binding draft rights are in the NBA. one would think that if a player entered the draft, the rule would/should be that he is the "property" of the team that has drafted him. if Yi gets out of this without any financial restitution for the Bucks, it could set an ugly precedent. what happens if college players start picking and choosing where they do/don't want to be drafted?

Cubs pitchers would beg to differ. this is a good point. catcher is usually not counted on for much offense (esp. in the NL), so if a catcher is liked by his staff, he is likely to get a free pass with a weak bat. -
piniella's track record so far is to play whoever is hitting, so i have no fear that if kendall fails to deliver, he'll be benched in favor of soto/blanco (see theriot/fontenot over izturis, pagan over jones, etc.)
-
FWIW, Tropicana Field existed pre-D-Rays
-
i wasn't aware pie was a young impact pitcher
-
i never like mitre much. he sucked in his first call up that said, any trade for juan pierre is bad. ANY TRADE
-
did soto get sent down?
-
as long as it hasn't tasted NSBB's collective taint
-
much ado about nothing
-
my favorite part was his being traded away. ranks up there with matt lawton in the annals of cubs stardom
-
i think this trade is hardly worth getting worked up about. losing a minor league arm and a DFA'd catcher....who cares?
-
Ward was plenty. ramirez, ward, kendall....how about we add snell and bay and call it a day?
-
this deal certainly helps the disturbing lack of ex-Pirates on the club
-
so, big picture, the trade actually was Barrett/minor leaguer for Kendall/minor leaguer
-
the gap between "hot" and "would hit it" is very wide for some of us
-
At that pitcher can only help you, at most, once every three games in the playoffs. The bat can help you every game. and would need to after marquis and/or hill cough up 6 runs in the first 2 innings. Ideally we'd get both
-
oh wow, when your cleanup hitter is a 58 year old Ray Durham.....
-
great list
-
correct. I think vance's game notes are wrong (as it said we're 3 behind the dodgers)
-
I like vance's game notes, but I have to ask: despite being broken up into quotes and multiple posts, doesn't this violate the site policy for reproducing articles? just asking
