If I were back up at Madison, I'd probably check out at least one or two games! However, that is not the case. :( The closest MWL teams to me are Fort Wayne and Dayton, both of which are roughly four hours from here.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I'd like to extend a TREMENDOUS thank you to DJaxx Broadcaster Ron Potesta for his hard work and effort this season! We all know that the future between the Cubs and DJaxx looks murky, but be aware that we are eternally grateful for all you've done for us. We really hope you'll be around in the offseason to participate in discussions and offer input on a regular basis. If things work out for the best, we look forward to seeing you around here next season! Thank you once again Ron!! And Nate, I'll be sure to extend the same gratitude towards you once Peoria finishes up their playoff run. :D

Didn't Fisk pass out in the middle of a spring training game because of two ruptured testicles?

:shock: Okay, enough already with the horrifying descriptions! We get the idea!

I think he was drafted as a SS. The reason why he was moved to 3rd, was because of his errors. His bat was/is there, but there were questions about his ability to play SS. So, the Cubs are restarting the experiment of Moore at SS. Nail meet head.

Justin Verlander.

Just stop for a moment and break down the word intrascrotal. And then look at this definition for hematoma:

Schmidt is pretty much always a guarantee to destroy the Cubs. Over the past three years: 5 GS, 4-0, 38IP, 1.18 ERA, 2 CG, 48/9 K/BB, 2 HR, .157 BAA

This team needs a guy who won't trot out non-sensical lineups, who won't make the SPs average 115 pitches a game, and who understands how to use the bullpen. I can't say I know enough about Girardi to answer those questions.

Thanks a bunch for getting this all set up and accomplished, everyone!

Come on folks, pick up the pace! We're almost done.

One of the entertaining upsides of this season is the fact that the Wrigley crowd has become decidedly less friendly and cozy with everyone. They've been booing quite a bit more these days.

Let's see if we can get Cain a CG SO this time around!

high socks! my love grows. Plus he's not scrawny! Guys who wear high socks with really thin legs oftentimes look weird and pretty darn funny.

Start inducing more groundballs you bum! :P

Cain's only game against the Cubs was a CG in which he struck out 8 and allowed 1 ER. That's always a good sign, imo.

You want to spend a week in my shoes? :P

This thread warms my cold, black heart. :D

Let's remember we compete mostly with "not truely great teams". . I think there might be only one "truly great team" in either league right now. ...even then, it's a debatable point, considering the Yankees' pitching issues.

He's hot hot hot hot! It seems like 20-25 HRs a season could be feasible from him if he progresses as hoped, no?
