Nice dig on the White Sox, Bob.

That had to hurt Gomez.

It was a weird way of defending the team. He tried to say that the Cubs were not a team built for playing small ball, but it came off like he was saying the Cubs are so fundamentally unsound that they could never pull it off effectively.

Lilly should have been running to 1B immediately, but that was a good bunt.

Puff piece on Chris Rusin.

The smiley face cooler was bizarre, yet quite amusing.

Sam Fuld for the month of June: .415/.468/.585 with a 2/5 K/BB and a 5/0 SB/CS. Not too shabby.

Yay! Being a GM is hard marbles Yeah, but you haven't spent your whole life playing the game so you don't know what you're talking about. :roll: I've also never been deeply involved in an international scandal involving skimming money off of prospects. Clearly, I am unqualified.

i'm going to assume this is just speculation and is untrue, because if i knew it to be true, i might have to drive to chicago and personally strangle hendry. I remember it being speculation at the time. I don't think anyone ever confirmed it. However, what I do remember hearing is how Hendry passed up prospects for Izturis in that trade.

That's giving Jacque a little too much credit - half the time he'd throw the ball so hard into the ground that it would just sorta stick there. Don't forget about his airmailing the catcher on occasion as well. Thank heavens he and Moises were never on this team at the same time. :blink:

I wouldn't take any of it seriously.

He came off the DL not too long ago, so I'm guessing the Cubs are limiting his IP.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

Wonder if the Cubs plan on having Marshall piggyback Harden for the time being?

You do realize that you can never speak to him again if they sign him, right?

Round 36 - 2B Brandon May (Alabama-Tuscaloosa)

Haha. The Riot got denied. He should have had Mike Fontenot with him!

That's going to be a common refrain today.

Round 32: RHP Kenneth McNutt (Shelton State CC)

They had the worst record in baseball last year, giving them #1 overall. Last year, they had the 9th overall pick and drafted Aaron Crow. They ended up not signing Aaron Crow. Under the new rules, if a team does not sign a player they drafted in the first round, that team gets a compensatory pick the next year the pick after where where they had the pick last year. Because the Nationals had the 9th overall pick last year and failed sign Crow, they got the 10th overall pick this year. That's what I thought. So, pretending for a minute that the Nats can't sign Strasberg and they finished with the worst record again this year, would they get the top two picks in next year's draft? Yep.

Round 31: 1B Andrew Clark (Louisville)

It's under way. Not much interesting happens from round 31 until the end, but still.
