    Does this make my 1995 Maui Stingrays shirt and cap less valuable now?

    Either the Cubs will continue their trend and score 1 run, or they will inexplicably score 16 and win 16-4 or something. Then they'll go back to sucking again

    He better watch out for the recent outbreak of mumps

    Sorry if there is another thread on this.... MLB's handling of the Bonds chasing Ruth soap opera has me grinning from ear to ear. Rather than pandering to this silly chase for 2nd place, Selig and friends have publicly stated that a) there will be no ceremony to celebrate Bonds not breaking any records and b) there will be no authenticated balls to celebrate Bonds not breaking any records. I'm happy to see that they haven't fallen into the ESPN hype machine. Yes, Babe Ruth was arguably the best player of all time, but Bonds isn't "breaking" Ruth's record, as it isn't Ruth's record to break anymore. The record is Aaron's and until Bonds is close to that, I don't want ESPN to break into every Bonds at bat to see him hit 715. It's ludicrous. So hats off to MLB for actually having the correct perspective on this (for once).

    soon we'll hear of setbacks due to gignovitis and scoliosis

    My prediction that this OF won't hit 50 comboned HR is looking pretty good right now

    They are all at 9:40 for me, so even more reason not to watch

    The refs didn't lose this game for the Bulls. The refs didn't make them shoot 30%, the refs didn't cause them to not take advantage to a long stretch with Shaq and Wade off the floor. I'm sick of people blaming refs for everything. The Bulls should have won this game by double digits and did not. As such, they will likely lose the series.

    Merkcer was the nicest and least arrogant baseball player I ever met. that's fine. but the way he handled his spat with stone was lame and unprofessional

    the ESPN email server probably sends this as an auto-response to any email having the words Joe Morgan in it.

    What does that mean? Means that he came advertised as the next great thing but can't get it together at the major league level. I know Guzman's sample size is small to this point, but I see similarities nonetheless. Great arm strength but too much nibbling, too many walks, little confidence. That's about the most ridiciulously premature giving up on a prospect I've ever seen. Pitchers don't show up with all their guns blazing. It's very rare for guys to have much success in their first few games, and it's not rare at all for them to give up lots of walks, hits and runs. Agreed. The hyperbole around here lately all around is ridiculous. sorry, I'm frustrated. Of course Cy Young could be pitching today and the cubs wouldn't win (0 runs is a tough way to win)

    Jacque Jones makes me pine for Jeromy Burnitz

    Angel Guzman = Juan Cruz Redux btw, Cubs have been outscored 34-4 since Saturday. Against the Brewers and Pirates. I'll be in the bathtub with my straight razor if anyone needs me.

    78 pitches through 4? I smell a Glendon sighting! Batting practice is open Bucco's!

    Mercker and Alou acted like grade-A douche bags. I'm glad Stone called them out

    his arm is made of pudding

    this might be his A game :cry:

    As a Cubs fan I have no problem admitting that Dave Duncan is the pitching coach god......the Anti-Rotschild as it were. Duncan takes sucky pitchers and makes them great (Ponson, Carpenter, Suppan) Rothshild takes awesome pitchers and makes them suck (Zambrano, Prior, Wood)
