    Sure looks like this team has its priorities set! 2113... deal of the century? 3 year deal #-o, nothing more than 1 year please. I'd rather they call him up now even though there's a risk they'd lose him after 2112. :D

    I've finally got the Cubs' injury problems figured out. O'Neal is actually a double agent. He worked for the Cardinals before coming to the Cubs, and is still a Cardinals' fan. He's taking payola from the Cardinals' organization to make sure that the Cubs are never healthy enough to compete. No, I don't actually believe that.

    Wow, no way, this is ridiculous. Not really surprising, considered he's also said he'd like to be a DH in winter ball.

    4 hits in his first AB? What does that mean? :? It's a joke. I think it's in reference to Dusty's repeated statements about when he came up when discussing rookies.
  5. NCCubFan
    It's not going to do any good to blow the team up unless they first blow the front office up.

    Plus the Cubs have now clinched their second consecutive losing season for the first time since 1999-2000.

    Jaxx beat Chattanooga again, 4-1. Three wins in a row to close out the season after being eliminated from playoff contention.

    Got back just in time to hear the last out and the postgame comments. Then something went haywire and I had to reboot my computer. I think I'm snakebit when it comes to listening to Jaxx broadcasts (maybe this is payback for my jinxing them when they played in Carolina and got swept :D ).

    Coats was sent down less than 10 days (or games-I can't remember which one it is) ago, and to bring him back up they had to put somebody on the DL. I don't think that rule applies any more since rosters have expanded. In 2002 Zambrano was sent down, then called back up just a couple of days later when rosters expanded. This was done to make room on the roster for someone coming off the DL. He didn't miss a start and didn't even report to Iowa. To me the only reason for putting someone on the DL at this point is if it's the 60-day to create a space on the 40-man roster.

    I definitely think Soto needs to get a lot of time. They don't need to evaluate Blanco; they already know what they have with him. They do, however, need to see whether they can count on Soto as the backup catcher next year, and they won't find that out if Soto is glued to the pine.

    I'd rather they give Dusty a little time off (like, say, forever). But since Hendry is too stupid and/or stubborn to see that a change is needed now, giving Z time off is the next best thing.
  12. NCCubFan
    That's good news. Even still, if he felt it before the game, someone needs to be held accountable for inexcusably pitching him today (unless Z himself said nothing about it because he wanted to pitch).
  13. NCCubFan
    At least he's admitting that things are broken. Now let's see him actually fix them.
  14. NCCubFan
    Moore followed in the footsteps of Adam Greenburg and got hit by a pitch in his first major league at bat. At least he was able to continue.
  15. NCCubFan
    Seriously, though, you're absolutely right, but there is no one at any level of this organization that would take action. Hendry won't fire Dusty, and MacPhail won't fire either of them. And the Trib won't fire MacPhail.
  16. NCCubFan
    If Z is seriously injured I demand that heads roll effective TODAY. This is completely intolerable.
  17. NCCubFan
    Good luck with your future plans. Unfortunately I'm unable to listen to the broadcast because I actually have to be at work on Labor Day. :x

    Zambrano's doing his part to help the cause.
  19. NCCubFan
    Not to mention he's the real killer of Nicole Simpson.

    http://sjl-static12.sjl.youtube.com/vi/Qwq7BYOnDrM/2.jpg Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. You kidding me? PLAYOFFS?

    I got Howard with the 15th pick (16 teams) of the 3rd round in a league I'm in. Steal of the draft.
  22. NCCubFan
    The Cubs are now within a half game of Tampa Bay for 3rd place and only a game and a half behind Pittsburgh for 2nd.
  23. NCCubFan
    Actually, Zambrano has tremendously cut down on his walks lately (4 total in his last 3 games). If that trend continues a perfect game isn't out of the question for him.
  24. NCCubFan
    They must not be happy with the hitting ability of Augie Ojeda. :D

    Congrats to Sean and also the other minor leaguers who had good years and received consideration for the award. Hopefully next year we'll get even more people voting.
