7/15 Philadelphia (Moyer) at CUBS (Dempster), 7:05 CT

Thank God they pulled him, it was starting to feel like that Rockies game in 2007 that he blew an 8-3 lead in. -
I got 2 buddies from Boston coming up for that Pats game...the pressure is on. Based on previous experience, as long as you are at the computer exactly when they go on sale, you should get tickets to 1 game. But by the time you purchase the one game, everything else is nearly sold out except for the expensive seats.

I'm not...that old man has dominated us way too many times in recent years. Good to finally hit him. -
Luma, meet Jersey :lol:
-
They have a 7th from the Rams for Kevin Payne though. Well worth the risk, IMO. Plus 7th round picks are mostly worthless.
-
I thought that was gonna be stupid but it was actually quite hilarious.

With any other GM I'd feel confident in getting value for Lilly, but I'm prepared for something like an Omar Infante + PTBNL. Not a big Hendry fan here but I do not think that is fair or accurate. I think Hedry normally does fine making trades, but the last time he was in this situation they traded Maddux for Izturis, so there may be some cause for concern. Hendry then made some sort of weird comment after the trade about not wanting prospects or something (I don't remember exactly). lol...we were all mad because we thought with could get Andre Ethier in that trade. What a boon that would have been for us.

Just reading that on RealGM. He said that he even surpassed his own expectations regarding his 3 point shot. Rose is typically not the type of person to overstate his abilities.

Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!

Regarding the DVD, it looks like there will be 3 different types of DVD released. -Regular DVD (24.95) -Blu Ray DVD (34.95) -Special Edition Regular DVD (39.99) On Amazon, they don't have any info on the special edition DVD, other then that it will be FOUR discs. The other products are just 1 DVD, so expect a significant increase in the content with the SE. Unfortunately, I don't see a blu ray of that, making a predicament. ALSO, right now, Amazon has a sale on all 3 types. They are all $10 off....who knows for how long. Good time to buy right now and have shipped to you on the 20th. -
Aww how cute, the social awkward baffoon thinks that the Cubs and Reds are rivals. I guess one side thinks they are. I bet the Reds fans are eating this up.
-
I hope he would. I don't think he's coming back next year regardless, so it would be stupid to stay on this sinking ship when he can get traded to a contender and actually enjoy himself.
-
I'd still chance it. While 2010 is a bust, 2011 actually doesn't have to be, and I think moving Byrd would mean they'd hang on to Fukudome. I think moving Fukudome (in the right deal) would be more beneficial to the team both right now and in the long run. Like I said, if someone is calling up the Cubs with an amazing offer for Byrd there's no reason for them to not take it. I guess I'm just not a huge fan of Byrd. He had a nice first half, but he's not someone I have to keep if I want to contend in 2011. I guess he is starter quality and not making a ton, but if I'm Hendry, everyone on the team is available right now.

Who is Jordon?
-
I would even call Rose's defense less than average last year, instead of just bad. Man to man I would say he was actually decent. He still got burned by guards who had a quick first step because he hesitates, but he can stay in front of most everyone else.
-
Because they don't have anyone to fill the position? If someone is offering a great offer now, fine, but the Cubs could easily sell high with him later. Soriano-Fukudome-Colvin? Brett Jackson might be called up by September 1st as the thread on NSBB speculates.
-
I don't get it. I think because he missed that catch in LF late in the game. Bounced off his glove. I'm not sure the Cardinals signed him for his defense though. That said, Holliday has what is starting to be a disturbing history of botched defensive plays in big games, starting with his botched fly ball in the one game playoff between San Diego and Colorado, followed by the groin shot in last years playoffs and now that catch, which obviously was nowhere as big, and the game was not even close as a playoff game in terms of importance.

Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks Thread!!!!!!
UMFan83 replied to chuckywang's topic in Other Sports
Since this has been rebumped, a week from today (it's still Tuesday technically), the Blackhawks Stanley Cup DVD comes out. I am going to Best Buy ASAP to buy the blu ray version. -
NL is 1-12-1 in their last 14 All Star games lol. I remember watching that 1996 game too. I think Fred McGriff had a late HR to win it. Edit: No wait, I believe Mike Piazza hit an early home run and ended up with MVP. McGriff's HR must have been 1994. Wow can't believe I remember that so well.
-
I never would have guessed Byrd would be interviewed on the field after the All Star game.
-
Byrd might have had consideration for MVP if not for Mccann's hit.
-
Probably because the Cubs kinda suck and don't deserve 2 All Stars.
-
Geovany Soto would have homered. Edit: OK he would have K'd looking, whatever.
-
Marlon Byrd would have been able to score standing up but he was so stunned that a guy on his team got a hit with RISP and 2 outs and caught himself admiring it for a sec.

GAME 1 AT WRIGLEY!!!!
-
3 run shot coming up and an all star MVP
