    New rule: Only games within the division count in the standings. Games against other teams are exhibitions. [/wishful thinking]

    It's 4 in a row (first 4-game winning streak of the year) and 6 of the last 7. They lost the last game in the Mets series 1-0 in extra innings; otherwise they might have a 7-game winning streak.

    Yes, it was twice; both times it tied the game. The actual game winning hit was by Dave Owen. Sutter had a quip about it during his induction speech.

    Glad to be of service. :D

    I didn't have a particular definition in mind (this is a poll taken from cubs.com, not my own). I think I'd consider an impact player to be a starting position player, or for a pitcher, a starter, setup man, or closer.

    Maybe the Phillies can now sign the pitcher Jesus Sanchez that pitched for the Cubs a few years ago. A battery of Jesus Sanchez pitching to Jesus Sanchez would be funny. :D

    And that is what the question is actually asking, not who has the highest ceiling, but who is most likely to reach the ceiling they do have.

    What character issues did Brownlie have? I remember health issues, but not character. Maybe I'm imagining this, but didn't he holdout and reenter the draft after refusing to sign with someone? He held out for awhile after being drafted by the Cubs and talked about returning to school for his final year of eligibility, but he signed with the Cubs without returning to class.

    Maybe, but his stock has fallen so much he just got sent down to AAA. That's just crazy. He was sent down for a rehab assignment. I didn't even realize he was on the DL. The source I saw (I believe it was scrolling at the bottom of the screen on ESPN) used the term option, but that was probably just a case of miswording it.

    He wasn't. I think he's a classic example of the one-year flash-in-the-pan.

    He should be immediately fired anyway.

    If Maddux had spent his entire career as a Cub, then it would have been a PR nightmare. Since he spent most of his best years with the Braves, however, I don't think it would be. I think the PR nightmare is a media invention.

    Maybe the opportunity to work with his brother would be enough to entice Greg into becoming pitching coach.
  16. NCCubFan
    That's also why Julio Zuleta was so popular with Cub fans a few years ago. Craziness can be an asset if kept reasonably in check.
  17. NCCubFan
    An educated guess based on your location, are you referring to Todd Wellemeyer?
  18. NCCubFan
    This is the current poll on cubs.com. Given the level of interest in the minor league system on this board, I thought it would be interesting to run exactly the same poll with the same choices here and compare results. Note that the lack of an "other" option is an omission from the original cubs.com poll, not an oversight on my part.

    #1096 for me. Hatteberg and Jones are killing me. Ronny Cedeno is now #4 on the list of highest ESPN.

    Today (or tomorrow, depending on your time zone) is the Hall of Fame induction ceremony with Bruce Sutter being inducted. It will be telecast on ESPN Classic at 1:30 P.M. Eastern time.

    27 points in one day from my two White Sox won't help your cause either. No, it looks VERY good. :D

    You mean the way the Cardinals beat his brains in today? :D

    It's simply Hendry's responsibility to find a way to fix it that fast. Waiting until 2009 means more than an entire century without a championship. That's not acceptable. Hendry created this mess, he MUST find a way to fix it quickly.
  24. NCCubFan
    But at least the Knicks owner stated that significant progress would be required next year or Thomas will be fired. One of the problems with the Cubs' organization is that nobody is demanding any accountability from anybody else.

    Nick Johnson and Austin Kearns also left the game early for the Nationals. I think it was probably just a case of giving players a little rest in a game that was out of hand anyway.
