  1. I wish this were trolling from a Sox fan, but unfortunately it's the truth. Be careful or I may not let you finish 1st in the Bryce Harper sweepstakes. 8-[ Be careful about what? I was actually agreeing with you. :P
  2. Joe Mauer breaks up no-no on 0-2 count.
  3. Last combined no-no was Houston at NY Yankees, June 11, 2003, Roy Oswalt and five relievers (including Lidge, Dotel, and Wagner).
  4. Going to the bottom of the 9th. It's up to Feliz to complete the combined no-no.
  5. 8 no-hit innings for Harden and others. Interesting note: Jim Joyce is the home plate umpire.
  6. It's been mentioned in the other games thread. I'm sure it was pitch count (he gave up 5 walks and had 111 pitches, and it's his first game back off of the DL).
  7. Nice outing for Cashner. Maybe he's putting it back together.
  8. Harden removed with a no-no after 6 2/3. He gave up 5 walks and had 111 pitches.
  9. If one other person expresses an interest we'll have the full 14 teams. Not much time to speak up, though; the draft is this Wednesday evening and the league needs to be finalized by then.
  10. First game back from the DL, too.
  11. A pitcher like Coleman pitching a one-hit shutout through 6 innings--things like that happen TO the Cubs, not FOR the Cubs.
  12. If all goes right I could clinch Bryce this week.
  13. I wish this were trolling from a Sox fan, but unfortunately it's the truth.
  14. Better than getting stuck in Daytona. :D
  15. I hate Ryne Sandberg. The minor leagues are supposed to be about the young kids. Helping the kids become major leaguers. He's only out for himself, just like he always was. All he ever cared about was winning - winning - winning. A real LOSER off-the-field too. No wonder he's headed for a second DIVORCE. LOUSY family man. The Hall of Fame does not make you a good person. He let it go to his head. I hope to GOD he never ever manages the CUBS. I'll become a Whie Sox fan. IT'S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT BUT IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE!!!! Is this personal knowledge of him? did he spit on you or your son? As Cubs fans we would gives a rats rear end about nice, as long as they win a WS. The nice guys though are remember fondly. Apparently you don't remember this post.
  16. There's only one thing to do. WIN THE WHOLE [expletive] THING.
  17. You may be thinking of 1973, when Aaron, Davey Johnson, and Darrell Evans all had 40 or more HRs (in fact, Aaron's 40 was only 3rd on the team. It was definitely a career year for Johnson (his next highest season total was 18), but Evans had many other high totals (including another 40-HR year) and had 414 for his career, so nothing that year was out of the ordinary for him.
  18. I think some of it goes back to his interim stint in 2007 during Lou's suspension (I think it was around 7 games). The Cubs were struggling under Lou and under .500 at the time. They went on a tear during Trammel's stint and kept it going the rest of the year. It may have been a coincidence, but if I recall the thinking at the time is that they seemed to be uptight under Lou but able to relax when Trammel took over for the stretch.
  19. It's head-to-head, then division record, then total points, then points against. Officially the rules have win-loss percentage listed as the first tie-breaker, but if there's a tie the teams have the same winning percentage, so I don't know why that's even listed as a tie-breaker.
  20. If current scores hold I'll move into sole possession of first place in the Roadkill Fecal League. Lose out and Bryce Harper is mine, mine, mine. \:D/
