http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2007/07/murton-cherry-c.html It doesn't say who is going down but my guess would be Jake Fox and Billy Petrick. -
You did notice Bears, Lions and Vikings right ;) Enjoy your 6-10 season!

Wow...Eckstein tried as hard as he could to scrap his way to an early Cardinals lead but he couldn't do it -

Yeesh, should Lee have let that go foul and give Pujols another chance? -
Jesus, that's about as bad as you can get :puke: And Cedeno STILL hit 8th in that lineup. Man, I've already forgotten how bad the Cubs were last year. When our rotation was Zambrano, Hill, Marmol, Mateo, Walrond

DUNN DUNNDUNNDUNN

The Reds do suck, but you can't be upset about taking 2/4 from the Brewers
-
I don't know what his story is, but he is 7-14 hitting this year.
-
Look who we went to visit when we traded for Matt Lawton in 2005. (The Phillies)
-
Man I hope anyone who had JJ Hardy got rid of him when his value was the highest.... Hitting .206 (31-150) since June 1st with 3 HR and 12 RBI.

Fun little thread. Think back to the Dusty days. If Dusty was our manager this year, how would things have been different this season? Here are a few ideas I came up with: ...Izturis would still be getting 4-5 starts a week at SS ...Theriot would either be in Iowa or the 25th man ...Fontenot would not have a Major league AB this season ...Barrett would likely still be our catcher ...Wade Miller would be getting another shot at the rotation right about now What else?

They usually do

SWEEETTT! If all the other teams win, this is how bunched the WC standings can look after tonight: SD --- ATL --- CHC 0.5 ARI 0.5 PHI 2.0 COL 3.5
-
7-2 Rockies. Please win tonight Cubs
-
4-2 Rockies and they are threatening for more with 2 on and 0 outs. Could be 0.5 back in the wild card at days end if we are lucky.
-
3-2 Rockies now!
-
2-2 after Garret Atkins singled home Matt Holliday
-
I feel the same way. Except the offense as it is right now, should be much more powerful then it is. If the bloop singles and clutch hits stop falling, I would expect the power numbers to sharply rise. We have only hit 7 HRs this month, by far the lowest in baseball. The next lowest is the Nationals with 12. We have 5 players on this roster who have hit 27 HRs or more in a season, and 4 that have hit 34 or more in a season, and right now only 1 player is on pace for even 30 (Aramis)
-
Wainright has really been pitching well as of late. For some reason, I am predicting the Cubs offense to breakout tonight however. Soriano will get a couple of hits and a HR. I say Cubs win this one 8-3.
-
Before Tillman got his chunk of change, I thought maybe the Bears might revisit a long term deal with Briggs after the season...but now I'm not so sure about that. Especially with Harris's extension coming up soon, and if for some reason Grossman does good next year his extension. I highly doubt they can keep Briggs past this year. That's what happens in football though, its really hard to keep a dominating unit in tact.
-
I really like how the Bears handled this. I don't like the prospects of him returning after 2007, but who cares. They completely owned Drew, they knew he had no leverage, and they got what they wanted with minimal damage to the team.

OK, one word to sum up Kendall's performance with the Cubs thus far, pathetic. Yes, he is 1-15 with the Cubs thus far (so far he has a chance to better the starts of Koyie Hill, 1-16, and Rob Bowen, 1-23, but not by much). Yes he grounds everything in sight, but what I'm also worried about is his defense. We knew going in that his defense was going to be subpar, but I didn't realize it would be this bad. Can't throw out a runner to save his life, has trouble blocking balls it seems, drops a lot of pitches. Furthermore, his inability to get on the same page as Z last night was frustrating. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt I guess because its the first time he has caught Z, but you could tell Z was getting so frustrated by his game calling out there, Z was not focused. Meanwhile, Koyie Hill has seemingly adapted to Z's game almost seamlessly. Am I making unfair assumptions based on a handful of games here? I'm sure he won't play this bad this entire season, but I don't think he was any sort of upgrade for the Cubs this year. I know several posters will say that they knew that going in, but I was holding out hope that a change of scenery would bring him back some of his old self.

Darn I was hoping the Rocks would have a shot to steal the game Chirs Young pitched

4-3 Padres
