    FUK U DOME! I don't care if he deserves to be there or not, this is badass.

    I felt weird watching that pregame speech. It was just...odd. Sadly Brett's speech was better

    Corey Hart looked like a huge douchebag during that pregame speech.

    Yankee Stadium is so overrated. It's kind of a dump. I know there is a lot of history, etc. but its not even the same stadium it was before the mid-70's.

    He probably wasn't going to play anyways having thrown 120 pitches en route to mauling the Cubs on Sunday.

    He's a fun loving guy who seems to genuinely like the Cubs. Some of his stuff is weird like his Blue Train thing, and last year when he would try to put jinx's on the opposing pitcher. Seems like something out of Stacey King's book. Overall though I approve.

    Yeah they'll try to do it, but much like buying tickets they will try to rip you off. I would recommend going in advance as opposed to doing it on gameday.

    I was thinking about this earlier. As a Cubs fan, what is the best possible thing that could happen in the game. My thought was bottom 9, NL up 8-7, Lidge on for the save. He manages to load the bases with 0 outs. Hurdle, having already used all other closers on the team is forced to go to Carlos Marmol. Marmol reverts to April/May form and strikes out the side on 9 pitches to close the game and win the MVP award. Yes Marmol's arm would get another inning of work, but his confidence would be sky high at that point.

    it's obviously from after the home run derby last night, photoshopped to look like it was at Wrigley during the day I heard that they already tore Yankee Stadium down and the entire season has been played in front of a green screen I want to know what ballpark I was sitting in 2 weeks ago then! Maybe that's why they gave us all 3D glasses to wear.

    I was thinking about this. If they are going to tie the HFA to something, they should give it to whichever league wins the overall head to head interleague matchups. So if the AL wins 143-111, the AL is the superior league and their WS representative should get HFA. Just a thought...better than tying it to one random game. so woody isn't even there? but fonzi is... i was all smiles last night seeing fonzi at the derby! From L to R its Geo, Marmol, Wood, Z, ARam, Sori, Fukudome. Dempster is missing because he was warming up in the pen while the photo was taken.

    Yup, so the NL has the advantage the first 3 innings. I'm just worried about a close game in the 8th inning having to deal with Ryan Ludwick and Nate McClouth hitting. most of the regular starters will play 5-6 innings I'm willing to bet Fukudome doesn't make it more than 3-4. Probably Soto too.
  12. UMFan83
    If the Bulls match, they automatically get him back? Any word on the length of the contract? I know I'm in the minority, but I hope the Bulls don't match that. I'm curious on this, whys that? I'm guessing he's thinking that SF is by far our deepest position, Deng is good but not great, and that much money will leave us bordering on the luxury tax limit and hinder any signings the next could of seasons.

    Yeah but the way the OP was worded, he made it seem like Hendry consciously drafted Hamilton and then traded him to the Reds. He didn't trade Hamilton, he traded his draft spot.
  16. UMFan83
    I actually like Rich Harden's delivery for one. One I can't stand is Keith Foulke
  17. UMFan83
    Speaking of the Bulls, 670 is reporting the Clippers are ready to sign Deng to an offer sheet. Possibly $12 mil per
  18. UMFan83
    Damn, I was hoping he would come to the Bulls. Damn you Pax.

    You are [expletive]. I hope you are kidding...

    Holy hell. That blows.....................

    I would have felt differently had I been posed the question a couple months ago. His glove would be a massive improvement, though. Theriot has 11 errors, Greene has 7. Greene def. makes more 'OMG' plays though. Greene is one of my 25 favorite players in baseball, and would have no problem with him on the Cubs. Maybe if they send Ronny somewhere in a deal this could be a cheap pickup, and a nice backup to Theriot. Definitely more to fielding than errors and omg plays though. I havent looked up his other fielding metrics this year, but I'm assuming Greene is much better due to his numbers in previous years.
  24. UMFan83
    I just drew Braun in my HR Derby Pool at work. Hopefully he wins and throws off his swing.
  25. UMFan83
    Those jerks putting the Cubs at the bottom wow. Soto hitting 9th?? Sucks that they will probably only get 1 AB now. Edit: BTW, by complaining about Soto hitting 9th, I don't mean that in a Cub bias way. Obviously he shouldn't be hitting 3rd or something, but to be hitting below Fukudome seems stupid.
