  1. cherry kept his own runner from scoring, and that's what's important (to be clear, this is sarcasm)
  2. Good pitchers don't do middle relief for long
  3. Are you serious? He was out by a mile. throw was early, tag missed badly. got him on the chest but missed the hands
  4. or you can force-close firefox. However, you have to have updated firefox to 2.0 for it
  5. lou is going to retire from baseball during or immediately after this season
  6. hey, some hope Just what we needed to cause more pain
  7. I don't think any of those fit this sentence: Bako is a journeyman catcher who wasn't paid much and has been on 3 other teams after the Cubs. Blanco was going to be signed by the Yankees if the Cubs hadn't signed him in the offseason, so even though he's overpaid there was a market for him. Remlinger and Erye were overpaid, but neither are replacement level players. I'm not convinced that Howry is overpaid. None of those players fit all the qualifications of that sentence. I think Hendry has overpaid a lot-but I challenged that post in particular because I think that sentence is overstating it, and I see variations of it all the time. well, I'm not going to get into a semantic argument - my point is that hendry doesn't learn from his mistakes and regardless of the cost of the players, continues to stock the roster with players of limited or replacement level value. I would argue that he did learn from his mistakes this year-Soriano, DeRosa, Ward, Floyd-none of those players are anywhere close to replacement level. The only one that was is Blanco-and that was only the high expense, because he's one of the better backup catchers out there. closely related to a gigantic increase in payroll. If hendry had to scrimp, what do you think he'd have gotten?
  8. waitwaitwait, marquis has been good for a full month. He hasn't had any bad games. could he actually not suck for us?
  9. I hate that the Cubs still have a guest conductor every 7th inning. Stop already!!! I really liked it when Vasher sang it. That was smooth. I don't get it
  10. Zambrano is probably pissed right now
  11. oh, come on, you're supposed to be fast
  12. that was some good contact on a good CB
  13. Do they have to pay luxury tax on the full salary or just what they'll actually be paying?
