His cap hit is just 38k less than Keiths. Wow

3 game winning streak? We just won consecutive games started by Lincecum and Cain. Edwin Jackson should be no problem. Go Cubs. Today's pitching matchup: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8880/smfgsdfgsd.png -
While poor Nick Leddy wastes away. [expletive] of course, I'm a moron

TBH, I am not sure what type of playmaker he is, but he may in fact be paired with Hammer on the 2nd line. Keith/Seabrook Hjalmarsson/Montador Campoli/Sopel

I'm not. I have to drive west on Addison in about 30 minutes so my trip just tripled in time unless there is an extended extra innings affair. -
Hendry just said Demp, Marmol and Marshall will not be dealt
UMFan83 replied to Men in Blue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't mind a new thread. This is good info and I didn't make it over to whatever other thread it was posted in. Why won't we trade Demp? Other than the fact that his value is much lower than it could be with his contract and poor performance this year. I probably wouldn't trade him either unless a great deal came around unless they just want to dump his salary. -

Meh, I did awhile back to one of his dumbass articles, but I figured what is the point to harass him publically. I'm sure he still lurks at NSBB and will surely still see the scorn that his articles bring.

Where do you go for the latest up to the minute rumors? I want to follow this more closely.

How has the entire town of Williston not banded together to boot his ass out of town? Can you imagine a single Williston resident sitting down and opening up his/her morning paper and saying "What's new in the world today?.....Ahh yes, an article bitching about the Chicago Cubs, just what I was hoping for!"

I havent seen the floater pitch since Scruffy Mcgee
-
It's gotta be. The owners would be committing suicide if they stuck to that offer.
-
Watch videos of John Wall and/or Mariah Carey throwing out the first pitch and do the opposite.
-
Yeah.....go Castro!

Assuming the Cubs finish this loss off it will be what the 4th straight time the Cubs have repeated the W-L-L pattern? Yay for .333 baseball. 54-108 over a full season :) Edit: The next game after this one marks the half season mark. We're basically on pace for a 64-98 record, which would be the worst Cubs record since 1980 when they also went 64-98, and 3rd most losses in team history. The last time they were worse than 64-98 was 1966.

Damn Pena is now 4th in the NL in HRs and 9th in MLB. Good to see at least a couple of positives emerge from this season. Now let's ship him out of town!
-
Dude is having a pretty crappy season down there. I'm guessing him being brought up has something to do with the fact that he has already been called up earlier this year. Warm body, meet Chicago Cubs pitching staff; Chicago Cubs pitching staff, meet warm body. Yeah, I don't expect Rodrigo Lopez to go more than 3-4 innings today so he was needed.
-
I see SF 13 CHI 7 and I wonder how many INTs Cutler threw.
-
I will close my eyes and pretend its 2003. That man started the 2nd game of the division clinching doubleheader for the Pirates. We lit him up. Of course a week earlier, he threw 7 shutout innings against us.
-
I heard he only showed up because the boys mom was a MILF.

It's nowhere near pitchfork time with Bowman. Not at all. In a way these moves are very bold though. I'm not saying trading Brouwer and Kopetzky and our 3rd defenceman who makes $7.5m are particularly dangerous moves, but dismantling just about every role player within 12 months of winning the Cup is rather bold. I feel like many GM's try to hold onto a lot of those types of role players from championship teams for a couple of years because they have proven they can win titles with them. Obviously the Hawks situation is a bit different because they had their backs to the wall and had to dismantle a lot of the team before they stepped on the ice again. But what Bowman's doing in dismantling all but the core of his team and quickly finding role players to surround them is interesting. It will be interesting to see how he fills all the holes in the roster come July 1.
-
Here are some names they have been speculating the Hawks going after on CSN Brad Richards Brooks Laich Daniel Carcillo Brent Sopel Shane O'Brien James Wizniewski
-
Im sure they just assumed that they wouldn't win the next 2 games as the trend has been.
-
Kopecky was an UFA anyway. I would've liked to see him back in a reduced role, but obviously he wasn't in the plans. And as for your last post, I'm betting that we'll be seeing either Sopel or Madden (maybe even both) return next year. Wiz could be a possibility as well. I wouldnt mind any combo of those 3. I had such a love/hate relationship with him but I'd welcome him back with open arms. Getting Wiz back would make me so happy.
