    put me in the minority here allowing oursleves to dream (for a moment) about a Cubs playoff appearance, who (besides Z and Lilly) do you trust handing the ball to? Me? No one. Marquis is crashing back to earth, teams have figured out Hill, and the lack of experience by Marshall makes me uneasy. Another bat might GET you to the playoffs, but an ace pitchers WINS you the playoffs

    On the one hand, I'm thrilled with the Cubs recent success and ability to fight their way to 4 over. On the other hand, the fact that this team can play this well makes the poor April/May that much more frustrating. If anything, you can argue the team in April/May was better than the bunch out there right now (at least on paper). Oh well, keep at it boys

    i requested a change to Braun but it didn't make the list :-k

    Another 10 hour work day means I won't be watching any baseball. I'll check the scores at intermission tonight.

    Brewres lose and Braun homers twice. My new HR Derby Wildcard helping me out in a losing cause!

    it's unofficial, but ESPNews crawl says a "reported 2 year deal" He's 32 years old, played for Philly last year. 6'10", 225 lbs. 8.5 pts, 6.2 reb, 0.8 assts in 25 min/game last season. Nice bench option, but not the starting big man the Bulls need

    That's Zell, he's the one selling the Cubs and doesn't have that obligation. The Trib is still a publicly traded company, and their debt holders will hold sway over any large transactions. i thought someone said he was making it private, thus buying off the stock holders and taking it off the trade floor I find it hilarious that the criteria for MLB owners is "someone who won't be good." Seriously, why is it in anyone's best interest to approve an owner who will likely make it harder for your own team to win? The system is very broken. This would be like Senators getting to approve who the new senators will be each year. They would never choose someone who will in any way compromise their own agendas

    okay, so fill me in here, as I haven't been following this too closely. This Zell (or whoever) guy is buying the team just to sell it again? Or is he buying the entire Tribune Co.?

    where's killthegoat06 with my update?
  12. Derwood
    fixed
  13. Derwood
    there is a difference between a good business contract and a good baseball contract
  14. Derwood
    i would argue that SLG is more important than OBP for a corner outfielder
  15. Derwood
    What's really hilarious is that you don't have a basic understanding of the bottom-line nature of business and the importance of unique assets. i understand that the dude makes money. i'm just trying to say that there is no direct correlation between his making money for the team and the team spending more money on the team. for other examples, see: every team that has extorted a new stadium out of the taxpayers' pockets
  16. Derwood
    i think it's hilarious that some of you actually think that the supplemental income Ichiro provides for the Mariners is actually going back into payroll
  17. Derwood
    bad, bad deal. Who cares how much marketing he does? This hamstrings a team without a super high payroll. $20mil/year for a singles hitter? It's laughable if Ichiro is worth $20mil/year, A-Rod is worth $50mil/year

    the only thing untouchable about Pie right now is the inside pitch
  19. Derwood
    it's not like our top 4 run producers are right handed or anything

    I dont get the whole "Wrigley is a dump" thing anyway. If by "a dump" you mean it's not made out of entirely metal and plastic and doesn't feel like a hospital, then sure. But I dont know what people mean when they say it smells, i've been there plenty of times and never smelled anything foul (except maybe some people sitting next to me). My only complaint about wrigley is the giant piss-trough in the bathroom. Where is this piss trough? I've been to Wrigley many times but never have seen the trough. Please don't cite that stupid internet video --- I think that was at a NASCAR race :) upper deck, way down the right field line
  21. Derwood
    seriously? Paulino can't hit and can't catch
  22. Derwood
    That was a thoroughly satisfying game to be in attendance for. Lilly was ON, the team strung together hits.....shoot, even Jock got a double. Warning track power everywhere though. Lee, Ramirez, Hill....nothing was going out last night
  23. Derwood
    only if they have add a promotion: Bako Choco Taco day!
  24. Derwood
    tonight is the first (and probably only) cubs game i'll see live this year, so don't suck it up.
