    ARGH!!!! #*&@#*($&@#*($&@#*$& DOUBLE ARGH @#*($&@#*($&@#*($&@#$ And, a few words I'm not allowed to type here. Sorry Jake, but we had to dump our garbage somewhere and apparantly your Pittsburgh Pirates wanted him. I wonder how my Pirates fans friends from Penn State are reacting. Is Littlefield still the GM? How does he still have a job? I just cant believe how far the Pirates have fallen in the last 6 games. I would assume given their hot end to the first half that a .500 season any maybe even playoff contention were some of the goals for the second half. Then 6 losses in a row later, they are trading for Izturis for some reason.

    %(^*#@$! Who is going to get all of our RGI's now?

    Ugh, I don't know if I even want Bay. He is hitting .156 since June 1st.

    Where was "Kent" late September, 2004? On vacation? Dealing with more pressing issues...namely Steve Stone

    I also remember reading that the Nomar deal was only a myth until a day or two before the deadline when Hendry pulled everyone together and made a deal. I could be remembering wrong though.
  6. UMFan83
    He is worse than a broken clock. A broken clock is at least right twice a day. (wishful thinking) Yup, he's usually right when reporting the number of runs the Cubs scored and the number of runs the opponent scores each day.

    40 man guesses: -Novoa released -Guzman to 60 day DL -Dopiriak released -Cotts released -Blanco 60 day DL (if unknown setback occured)
  8. UMFan83
    I would think that but hes scheduled to make a rehab start with Iowa today or tomorrow.

    Very good point. Probably makes the most sense, unless a miracle happened with the other guys. A 12 man staff means you only have 5 bench players, and Lee's suspension means it's only 4. Gallagher is unavailable today and probably tomorrow. Fox may just be here for a day or two. But how will he be added to the 40-man? Wade Miller and Prior are already on the 60 day? Hmmm... Novoa DFA? Guzman 60 day?

    Copycat!
  12. UMFan83
    Also to expand on that point, since we are already down a hitter (Lee) and there is no way that Gallagher can pitch today and probably tomorrow (making a 11 man staff guaranteed), they decided to get the extra hitter for the next 2 games before Demp comes back.
  13. UMFan83
    I'd like to think Jones was traded, but I'm thinking Gallagher is sent down since he threw 4 innings yesterday and the rest of the bullpen is completely rested. Dempster is scheduled to throw an inning in AAA either today or tomorrow and then rejoin the team. Makes the most sense.
  14. UMFan83
    Only possibilities: -Jones traded -Pagan sent down (but why?) -Gallagher sent down (then Fox will be sent back down when Dempster returns sometime this weekend) -Eyre DFA (wishful thinking) -Izturis DFA What else?
  15. UMFan83
    I have no choice unless I choose to just ignore CT. ;)
  16. UMFan83
    Don't worry, we'll see the sinkerballer tomorrow (while we throw Jason Marquis out there!) He's 4-0 with a 2.52 ERA in 6 career starts against the Cubs.
  17. UMFan83
    Weren't there Ramirez for Santana rumors going around last summer? Yeesh, thank GOD
  18. UMFan83
    How are the DBacks above .500? Their lineup looks so awful. Sure they have a lot of young prospects playing, but their numbers all look bad.
  19. UMFan83
    What does our offensive production have anything to do with QS's? The only reason Z came out after 5 IP was because of the 9-0 score. A pitcher has to go 6 innings with 3 or fewer runs to get a quality start. I guess next time Lou should tell his players to stop scoring so that Z can chase a meaningless statistic.
  20. UMFan83
    The heart of the order is up with Hill
  21. UMFan83
    You mean like leaving Prior in for over 120+ pitches with a 12-3 lead in Game 2 of the NLCS?? Notwithstanding your failure to get the facts right, that's the best example of Dusty's "leave em in with a big lead" strategy killing us. What is wrong with my facts. OK it was a 12-2 lead. But he came on and faced 2 batters in the 8th before Baker finally pulled him. If he didn't have 120 pitches he had more than 115, Im 99% sure.
  22. UMFan83
    I'm sure he will. I bet the plan is to have Gallagher pitch the 6th and 7th with Eyre pitching the 8th and 9th and Petrick on call if either gives up like 3-4 runs.

    The Giants... BTW, I'm referring to the Giants need Kendall in the Cubs lineup
