Who takes Petrick's place? Are they going to reactivate Muldowney?

The Don is HOT HOT HOT HOT right now. 3 scoreless, 1 H, 1 BB...and 6 Ks! And a balk. :x

Go Billy go!

Into a strange new world, into the after All your tears might find you've fallen too far Take another look, take another ride Can't we make them leave the hate behind And I still believe in nothing Will we ever see the shape of tomorrow? Into the empty storm, into the formless loss of hope, Where we can forget the game And I still believe in nothing Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow Nothing is sacred when no one is saved Nothing's forever so count your days Nothing is final and no one is real Pray for tomorrow and find you're empty still Nothing Bonus points to all of you who recognize this song without having to look it up. 8) \m/

He last pitched on July 21st and had his best outing of the season. As of right now, he should be scheduled to pitch tomorrow's game at Spokane.

I'd imagine he will if he keeps this up. He'll definitely be there by September, imo.

I'll take TE Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys.

If this is the argument I'm remembering, it wasn't quite like that. Harold and Steve were arguing that A-Rod should be traded because he couldn't handle the pressure of NYC. Kruk got really angry at that and called them both out for it, because he thought they were implying A-Rod was a spineless wimp. Naturally, Philips and Reynolds tiptoed around the matter. Kruk actually defended A-Rod pretty well, much to my surprise.

Give me... RB... LENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE WHITE! Tennessee Titans. :D

I predict Z hits for the cycle.

What happened? Maddux threw a pitch to Nady and either motioned for the trainer or the trainer came out on his own. Either way, everyone examined him and he decided to stay in.

WHAT IN THE HELL NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! Edit: Phew, Maddux is staying in.

Rey Ordonez does!

Ouch, tough luck for Nic. Hope he can come back healthy!

Nice group you got there. 8) Don't expect Bailey up this season, though. Reds GM Wayne Krivsky has been adamant in saying that he will not promote Homer above AA this season since Homer needs more work on getting consistency with his curveball and changeup. He's going to pitch more innings this season than he has in his entire professional career, to boot. He'll be a heck of a popular pick for NLROY next season, though.

The question is whether or not he'd be happy in a bench role next season. He was complaining about the lack of playing time he got in SD and Texas, which was a large part of the reason he got shipped off in the first place. He'll be 36 next season and his numbers have been rather ugly since 2004. Would the Cubs really benefit giving him the playing time he'd want given his declining skills? The simple answer is outplay the Cubs.

Is this a rumor that I missed? Surely it involves more than essentially trading Maddux for Tejada. It's Paul Sullivan's usual claptrap. I want no part of Izturis. He's Neifi Perez Redux.

Just friggin' call up Hoffpauir or McGehee to play 1B. Phil Nevin will be a non-factor in 2007 and would be better served as trade bait. At least those two guys could earn a bench spot next season if they play well enough.

The Cubs are the only team I know of that make their fans question the meaning of existence on a regular basis. Seriously, it's like some sort of cosmic joke.

July 27th's game against Chattanooga is going to be HUGE for West Tenn. Chattanooga will be trotting out the friggin' cannon that is Homer Bailey. Homer's arguably the top pitching prospect in the minors right now and has been pitching like a man possessed in AA. His current numbers with Chattanooga: 5 GS, 4-0, 30.2 IP, .88 ERA, 3 ER, 17 H, 31/6 K/BB That's right, a .75 WHIP. :shock:

Soriano historically is a good player, but he's just playing out of his mind this year. Kenny Williams has to make a move to spark his team. Detroit's pulling away while Minnesota is creeping up on them. They still have time to get going once again, but an offensive upgrade would be most welcome for them. Plus, the market for hitters is much better than the one for bullpen and starting pitching help. I shudder to think what Florida's asking price for Willis is.

I'm convinced the Cubs could lose every single game remaining this season...with Dusty and company keeping their jobs until the bitter end.

In regards to Larry, he may not have something against Hill, but Larry's coaching could very well be part of the problem. Bingo. When Greg Maddux is your best coach with the major league team, there's something inherently wrong with your organization.
