    AL gets home field advantage AGAIN
  2. UMFan83
    Same general area as his GW WS hit, except harder and to the left
  3. UMFan83
    Eh, I don't blame him for wanting to show that he's sorry. Although he looks and talks like a jerk so that doesn't help
  4. UMFan83
    AGHHHHH trade Ramirez to the Cardinals if he likes them so much!!! Oh wait, they already have an adequate 3B
  5. UMFan83
    Only 4 Starters left in the game: Lee Ramirez Ortiz Teixiera Ensberg should be in for Ramirez (or Lee) in the 7th
  6. UMFan83
    Fixed, only Cubs still in the game as starters
  7. UMFan83
    Yeah, who else is still left from the starters Abreu - out Beltran - out (i think) Pujols - out Lee - in Edmonds - in Ramirez - in Piazza - in? Kent - out Eckstein - out
  8. UMFan83
    Good point, expect Macais to start at third on Thursday

    What would happen if a catcher was heavily rumored to be going to a contending team in the other league. what would stop him from tipping pitches in order to give his potential new team a leg up
  10. UMFan83
    He was there most games, until a random implosion that would doom him in about half his starts. Darn, I was really hoping Clement could face Lee or Ramirez. Dodged another bullet did he. I guess the World Series is our next best chance ;)
  11. UMFan83
    Ughhh....figures, not only does Aramis GIDP, but it looks like Clement will face the NL's 8-9-1 hitters, meaning he won't face any Cubs unless he gets lit up.
  12. UMFan83
    Cubs hitters have swung at every pitch so far, thanks for the last minute pointers Dusty
  13. UMFan83
    Say what you want about 'This time it counts' but this is the first time I've really gotten to watch the All Star game from the beginning since that was implemented, and I must say I was really getting emotion seeing a hated Card trying to stop a run from coming in. Good stuff
  14. UMFan83
    Lee really is the Cubs' next Sosa without the attitude Or the lack of plate discipline or the average defense or the regressing speed (But Sosa was a great player, I'm only kidding Sosa-lovers)
  15. UMFan83
    BIG NEWS - Derrek Lee out at 1B, Carlos Lee in (according to Buck)
  16. UMFan83
    That's funny, the first name that came to my mind when I saw Wilson was Paul Wilson.
  17. UMFan83
    ^^ For someone who wants to win so badly, he sure is giving away a lot of his game strategy...
  18. UMFan83
    I wonder if they juiced the balls for the 1990 Derby too

    Rob Neyer wrote a (somewhat) interesting premium article about the top 10 power hitting sluggers in the game today, using factors such as home park, and AB/HR. I'll post the premium link below, but this is his final list: Two Cubbies in the top ten. Good to see both guys getting respect as a power hitter across baseball. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/allstar05/columns/story?columnist=neyer_rob&id=2105528
  20. UMFan83
    Kevin Orie is raking it up, think the Nats will trade him so he can be our 3B of the future :):)
  21. UMFan83
    Dunn won't be moved unless you overwhelm Cincy with pitching. I wager that Welly has limited trade value, at best, while Mitre's value probably isn't close to getting Dunn. In addition, don't forget that you can't just satiate the Reds with a host of arms. They would still need to find room on their 40 man roster for those you send to them (and I suspect they would only agree to major league ready players, suggesting they would require 40 man spots). Rich Hill would be a mere starting spot for Dunn. Throw in Pinto and Mitre, and you might get some interest. Maybe. ^ Heh, thats why I don't usually make trade suggestions. I don't even consider 40 man vacancies when I draw these up
  22. UMFan83
    Or how about Patterson and Murton to the Dodgers Wellemeyer, Mitre, Andy LaRoche (3B/SS Jacksonville -AA), Dodger Throw in to the Reds Dunn and above average prospect to the Cubs Cubs give up - Patterson, Murton, Wellemeyer, Mitre Cubs get - Dunn and Prospect Dodgers give up - Andy LaRoche, Prospect, Throw in Dodgers get - Patterson and Murton Reds give up - Dunn Reds get - Wellemeyer, Mitre, LaRoche, Throw in Suggestions? I think the consensus will be that the Cubs don't get enough in return and/or the Reds get too much for Dunn.
  23. UMFan83
    How about (and I suck at making trade predictions, but I'll try) Mitre, Murton, Lewis (does he still have value?), Wellemeyer Not enought to get it done? You wouldn't think that the Reds would want to take on another OF, but with how Murton has played this year, and the fact that Griffey's contract has to be expiring sometime soon, they would almost have to demand Murton in a trade. Plus you are giving them a major league ready pitcher in Mitre, another great arm that should be major league ready with a few issues to take care of, and a throw in infielder that is one year removed from a great season. I'd replace Lewis and Patterson, but the Reds won't want another OF, and as I said earlier with how Murton has performed in AA and his brief majors stint, they would be dumb to not demand Murton for a player of Dunn's caliber. Get it done JH!
  24. UMFan83
    Wow, I was way off. I didn't think TLR would have Abreu leadoff
  25. UMFan83
    Why would the manager do that? Oh wait, good work TLR
