Wood's velocity / Wood to be examined by doctor / ->DL
UMFan83 replied to TMan92's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Gotta defend the Cubs org here. Wasn't everyone complaining that the Cubs were babying their players too much and being extra cautious? Now they are letting their player pitch through the pain and they get ripped on for that. I dunno, maybe most of the babying was aimed at Prior, and maybe I don't know the full story, but it seems really hypocritical to rip on the Cubs for letting Wood pitch through pain. -
"Putting something up for sale" can drive down the price, because potential buyers know the owner wants to get rid of the item. GMs talk all the time about not shopping guys, but they'll listen for offers. Unlike most businesses, a ballclub carries an emotional premium for rich guys who want to compete, and win in full view of the public. In the interview that Mariotti did with Cuban, Cuban said this: Would that happen quietly? I genuinely don't know the answer, not trying to be sarcastic or anything. He also reinterated the process yesterday morning on Sean Salisbury and Steve Rosenbloom's show. Again said he was likely interested. It's interesting that he would show how much he wants to buy them. I thought the idea was to feign lack of interest in order to drive the price down. Maybe that isn't the case with multimillion dollar buys with multiple investors.

UMFan83 replied to Omar's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Hornkhol's been missing for like 3 days I think. I'm a little worried -
Sure why not....sounds like a fun project
-
His declining numbers certainly didnt help him remain in S. Florida though
-
Good thing Dusty Baker is the master motivator, otherwise we might be 12 games under .500. Oh wait, we are. Projected over a full year thats....bad
-
That would make my season if Dusty actually used that as an excuse. "Dude, I dunno man....we just can't win on that WGN station. It might be the TV frequency difference between free tv and pay tv man. Remember, we are 1-2 on Fox too dude.
-
It's like 22 if you count the last 4-5 innings of Monday's game. I hope the Cubs never come back to Wrigley, they are truely an eyesore
-
90 million payroll, 12 games under .500 in June. GREAT WORK JIMBO
-
All praise John Mabry for getting us at least 1 meaningless run the last 2 games. Haha, the Cubs outscore the Astros for the series 9-5 and lose 2/3 8-0 1-4 0-1 WOW
-
Now were back to not driving in RISP. Bleh, enjoy your 70 win season Cubs
-
Come on, I thought it had happened. Can't even disguise pessimism as fact. My bad, forgot not all are lazy like me and can watch instead of studying for his last college final Murt swings at ball four and fouls it away
-
He's pretty much soley responsible for any Cubs baserunner getting past second base the last 2 days.
-
You know what I want! Hahahahaha! I wanna talk to Samson! Fly me to the moon like that ----- Alice Kramden! 'Cause it's hard being black and gifted!
-
First pitch groundout for the murt
-
4 Saddest words in sports "Its up to Mabry"
-
Have they picked a TE for the Bears yet?
-
Anyone else still in love with Womack? He's now 3 for his last 19 since his deceptive start.
-
The Cubs org. should take pity on the fans and disband the organization.
-
I'm willing to bet that came from the dugout, but mostly because I love murton Oh it most certainly was. Gotta be agressive dude
-
YOU SUCK YOU IDIOTS STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH AND HITTING IT ON THE GROUND
-
Are you kidding me Murt? Von Joshua, wanna straighten this kid out
-
Just more proof that walks suck. A hit could have been a home run. This was just one base and it didn't pay off. Never even threaten to walk again ok?
-
No hitter plz
