    His OPS is already down to .892 for the year. So no I don't think as of right now, he should be in.
  2. UMFan83
    I think if Dempster still has the 4th best ERA in baseball when pitchers are selected, he will be in.

    The Score is saying the idea is Collins is a short term hire, and the interviewing that Pax is doing is for assistants that will eventually succeed Collins as coach in 1-2 years. Interesting strategy to say the least.

    Looks like Collins will be the coach (sorry I posted this in both threads). From the Sun-Times:

    From the Sun Times: Doug Collins to become Bulls head coach May 29, 2008Recommend BY BRIAN HANLEY Staff Reporter Doug Collins will become the next Bulls head coach, according to a source. The source said the deal is expected to be announced "sooner rather than later." Expect one of the other candidates general manager John Paxson interviewed to be one of Collins' assistants. Collins coached the Bulls from 1986-89 and took the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals. He also coached the Detroit Pistons and later coached Michael Jordan on the Washington Wizards. Collins is an intense, fiery coach, who will remind some of Scott Skiles, who was fired on Christmas Eve. Recently, Collins said he didn't want to leave his broadcasting job with TNT. Since then, the Bulls landed the No. 1 draft pick. A native of Benton, Ill., Collins starred at Illinois State.

    Honestly, if it didn't cost that much, I'd take a flier. But I know the reason he hasn't signed yet is because he wants some sort of decent contract.

    At the end of his tenure with the Cubs when his knees got bad he had absolutely no range. One of my earlier Cubs memories was watching Dawson butcher a fly ball to right, and my dad saying "Geez, he needs to go to the AL and be a DH. He can't field anymore"

    Pitching probables for the series: Francis vs. Marquis Cook vs. Lilly _____ vs. Dempster Jiminez vs. Gallagher We have our 4 and 5 starters going this series, and our number 2 starter is matched up against probably their best, and a guy that owns us and has already owned us once this year. Honestly, the Rockies are down, but I'm thinking a split is likely here. Either that or I am just being a pessimistic jerk.

    Funny quote from Gateway Redbirds I read tonight:

    Fixed. With Tampa Bay....WTH??
  11. UMFan83
    Good we got back one of those games in Pittsburgh!

    Piniella is unaware of the fact that Reed Johnson sucks at baseball. Really? Dude. Someone should, like, tell him. He only half sucks at baseball. .782 OPS against lefties .649 against righties
  13. UMFan83
    Why does Lou overmanage and take Ramirez out of the game, but keeps Reed Johnson in to face a righty? Does that make any damn sense?
  14. UMFan83
    I was actually thinking quite the opposite. Howry looks like he is hitting his spots quite well so far tonight. Agreed. Sorry Pi.

    The Yankees don't play their best SS at SS either. You wanna argue with all their rings? The last time they won a ring, they were playing the best SS at SS.
  16. UMFan83
    Not when Ryan Theriot is manning SS!
  17. UMFan83
    YOU HAVE NO RANGE THERIOT YOU ARE NOT A GOOD BALLPLAYER
  18. UMFan83
    So Walk, Walk, IF single, Sac Fly. What an awe inspiring inning :)
  19. UMFan83
    I just realized Reed Johnson vs. a righty is due up next....either that or a chance for Edmonds to get a GW hit...
  20. UMFan83
    Lets see the DeRosa GW hit!
  21. UMFan83
    Ugh come on just a hit.
  22. UMFan83
    Wow they didn't put the Cubs factor into the equation. Any other team would be favored to win this one other than the Cubs haha.
  23. UMFan83
    Please don't pop up or K Soto...CMON GEOVANY SOTO!

    Like last night, when he drove in the go ahead run after a 742 pitch at bat? haha, you caught me. But I swear he doesn't take really good approaches in these ABs. I know he's a run producer and a clean up hitter, but I don't like seeing him swing as hard as he can at 2 pitches, then half swing at ball 1 like that. That was actually a solid 2-strike approach when we really needed it though. Very true. He did really choke up. And now that I think about it, he's done that in the past as well. 2 ABs last year in particular in late game situations he's done that.
