    No no no no no no no no no no no Like a poster above said, we'd pretty much have to go 26-4 or better to have a chance. Not going to happen. Just let the season die peacefully.

    Just pure speculation, but here's a quote from http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/4817678 I doubt the Cubs would be players, as the Cubs know how fun it is to hold large contracts with sluggers with controversy, but its worth talking about...

    I don't think the Rockies will sign him....they have a young team that is attempting to win next year or the year after. They won't want him
  4. UMFan83
    C'mon TWalk, make it a 10 run inning!
  5. UMFan83
    I don't even care. Rothschild has coached way too many underperformaning pitching staffs, he has so go.
  6. UMFan83
    What's not fair is that the Orioles will probably base the prospect on the way Sosa performed this year, and not on the potential he had before the year.
  7. UMFan83
    Cleveland, they are everything the Cubs aren't. Maybe we can lend them Prior and Zambrano for the playoffs.

    ........No comment

    This is going to be the first time in awhile that I'm not counting down the days until the new season
  10. UMFan83
    Haha, if we finished in last place in the Central...

    Great game by Maddux today. Too bad the offense couldn't bail him out. We could fall into 5th place tonight right?
  12. UMFan83
    Cubs at 7 games below .500 for the first time since 2002

    I think the only person that can compete with Murton for POY is Eric Patterson. As has been stated many times, the league Patterson is in compares to the NCAA league he played in with Georgia Tech. He had a tremendous year, but Murton's year relative to the league he has paid in gives him my vote.

    ^^ How can he give up only 1 run but have 2 earned runs?
  15. UMFan83
    Nomar 2-2
  16. UMFan83
    At least Maddux is pitching well
  17. UMFan83
    Lawton started in Right and hit 8th for the Yankees. He walked in his first AB. BTW, how low does everyone think Corey can get his average before the end of the season??
  18. UMFan83
    The Reds are licking their chops for a shot at 4th place tonight
  19. UMFan83
    This move is probably like the Greenberg move in July. He is probably getting rewarded for a good season at AAA. Don't worry, the youngins will be up in 5 days.
  20. UMFan83
    I like the fact that they are going to get rid of some useless vets and try to get the rooks some playing time, but Dubois for Yankees PTBNL....I don't like that one bit. At least Jim Hendry can still use Dubois as one of the farm products the Cubs have produced

    You're not going to have much range with a bad back and groin. For errors, range is usually not the issue. It's what you do with the ball after you are in position to receive it that is the problem.
  22. UMFan83
    Yeah i mean Lawton he just has no eye at the plate whatsoever. This is a bogus criticism. Is he supposed to be perfect. Whatta joke. Well no, obviously even the best players make mistakes all the time. Obviously a good hitter will do the right thing only 30% of the time.
  23. UMFan83
    http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=gillette_gary&id=2143044 Wow, he actually goes in and finds each fundamental error the Braves and Cubs (mostly Cubs) make. Sorry, insider only, but worth the read. Here's an exerpt:
  24. UMFan83
    Fred, can you give us Nomar's career numbers at 3B? ;)
  25. UMFan83
    He is? I guess I haven't seen that. He's been an OF this year because that's where our biggest need for him has been, not second base. I don't understand where you're going with that or why you're complaining that he's been used in our awful outfield. Before he was moved to OF everyone was wondering if he could play OF because he was out of place. Now it seems like that's the only spot Dusty will play him...
