    I was reading along Stark's recent column, when I came to a bit about Mark Prior: That is interesting. I thought that the consensus around here was that the Cubs would surely keep him after his surgery to see what he still has. Is there a chance that Prior will get non-tendered? My theory is that we've thrown enough money his way, we might as well do it for one more year and see what he has got.

    I don't even mind a lot of his moves since the championship. I never agreed with the Vazquez trade, I didn't think it was necessary. But I thought he built a nice bench with Cintron and Mackowiack among others. He got rid of Polite and Cotts when they regressed, and while his decision to pickup every live arm he could for his bullpen failed miserably, it was somewhat of a rational strategy, although he certainly should have gotten at least 1-2 proven arms he could count on. Bottom line is, the Sox probably aren't going to compete for a title anytime soon. Their core is aging. Thome, Dye, Konerko, Contreras, etc are old. Kenny would have to make some pretty swift moves to get this team contending next year. But they do have some younger talent contributing or about to contribute. I think Fields will be solid, and they have some decent prospects in the farm system.

    I know, plus he hasnt even traded for Roberto Alomar in like 3 years!

    Re: Aramis sitting. For what its worth this is what the Trib had to say about Ramirez resting:

    Exactly what I came here to ask. Jones and Floyd in the lineup against a tough lefty? The Fontenot came in 2/3 of the way through the game? Did Lou know something I didn't know? What was brutal is the Giants used lefties in relief too. Really showed in that Jones AB in the 10th. Brutal. Jones was embarassing yesterday. Floyd had the key hit so I don't see that argument at all. Sure in hindsight it worked, but statistically speaking, thats a curious decision to start those 2 against a lefty.

    I think we should be thanking the pitching. 11 hits in 2 days is usually not what you'd hope for. The starters have combined for what 15IP 3ER in the first 2 games?
  7. UMFan83
    I have a feeling after being held to 11 hits the first 2 games, the Cubs bats will wake out and we will be sweeping our way out of SF. The Giants had great opportunities to take the first 2 games, but this is a game that the Cubs will show who is in first and who is in last.

    Jake Fox looks overmatched vs. Zito
  10. UMFan83
    That was the hardest hit ball I've seen Cliff hit in weeks.
  11. UMFan83
    RAMMY!!!!
  12. UMFan83
    Or not

    I think getting to 3 balls is going to be the most noteworthy offensive contribution from the Northside 9 tonight
  14. UMFan83
    Not our night. I didn't even get the satisfaction of watching the 9th inning rally last night. All I've seen is us look pathetic on offense and watch the other teams winning. I am so angry

    I always leave pitchers in to face the Cubs. It's one of the few teams that are always a must start for my pitchers. Sad but true.

    2 for his last 18 ABs 18 ABs. Am I allowed to post statistics without being called out for sample size. I didn't make any argument with my post, just stated a statistic. I didn't make an argument either. I was just driving home the point before anybody reached a conclusion based on it. Fair enough :)
  17. UMFan83
    Probably a Giants fielder, because it sure as heck won't be a Cub!

    We're going to get PG'd aren't we?

    Stupid Cardinals win 6-4
  23. UMFan83
    I don't know, but it's pissing me off. These guys should be buried by now, yet they're right in the race. Geez, how long did it take Zito to retire the side... 4 minutes? All we had to do was play .500 ball, stay 8 over, and this division would be ours right now. But no, couldn't make it easy. Had to start sucking again. When we were 8 over? After the first game of the Phillies series
  24. UMFan83
    Looks like another pathetic performance against a mediocre lefty
  25. UMFan83
    Gosh, it seems like all Ramirez tries to do is hit HRs these days. That swing had serious upper cut
