    The Cubs have shown with guys down in Low A, they will give them the full season to enjoy their success and get used to the daily grind over the course of a long season. They've had chances to promote plenty of guys doing really well down there over the past years, but instead kept them there until towards the end of the season in some cases. So, I doubt Atkins or Veal will get promoted. Maybe Downs will get another shot. He's due to grow another few inches any day now, right? ;)

    That second goal was an impressive brain fart.

    One of the things I absolutely love and hate about soccer: Guys who get stretchered off the field...then roll right off the stretcher and go running back onto the field full speed within a matter of moments.

    The announcer on Telemundo really loves Pimpong.

    Ghana's goalie has really impressed me. But Italy has a much better sense of anticipation and placement than Ghana. Every time Ghana gets some one in position to make a shot or make a break for it, Italy has a man right on him. They're just a better coached team.

    If he can put these numbers up over the next few seasons, then yes I would like to see him signed as a FA. However, I'd rather the Cubs not trade for him, especially considering the fact that this team is still on pace to barely finish over .400.

    Congrats to Sean!!!! Maybe they're moving him up to avoid hurricane season? :D

    About bleeping time some one scored.

    Ghana and Italy keep playing with fire when it comes to defense. This game could already be 3-2 at the rate things are going.

    That's why the Sergio Mitre BandWGN crashed (that and Outshined is an awful driver). I deflect blame to those who perverted and bastardized the original Bandwagon. If it had stayed that way, Mitre would have led the Cubs to a World Series victory along with a Cy Young by now. But did it? Noooooooooooooooooo. Some one had to go about adding this WGN stuff and completely ruined it!

    I'm currently somewhere behind his right knee.

    Angola is tenacious, I gotta give them that.
  14. Outshined_One
    Looks like Angola is finally settling down. That yellow card was a gift, to boot.

    Last year, Fox was coming back from injury and wasn't able to pitch several days in a row. That fact was lost on Dusty, who threw him 3 times in 4 days(64 total pitches) and he threw his arm out for good on that last outing. I believe his last outing was something like 30+ pitches. Everyone knew that he was an injury waiting to happen and that he only had so many bullets left in him. Dusty apparently never got the memo.
  16. Outshined_One
    We signed him out of the Dominican in 1999. Thanks. He was originally a catcher, but then was converted into a starter.
  17. Outshined_One
    This is becoming sad.
  18. Outshined_One
    Funny, because John Smoltz and Curt Schilling have been quite injured over their careers. Cripes, the Braves originally moved Smoltz to closer because he couldn't stay healthy as a starter. I'm personally frightened that Wood might become like Schilling, who was injured a lot early in his career, then settled down as he got older and only had to battle major injuries in 2003 and in the 2004 postseason. Johnson has also had his fair share of problems. Clemens is the only guy you listed who hasn't broken down due to injury, save for the 2005 postseason. Thanks to the miracle of modern medical science, these guys have had their careers extended well beyond their injury problems. It's not like these guys haven't felt the effects of overuse themselves, you know?

    they also had to finish a suspended game. Ahhhhhhhhhh. I'll try and dig that one up and post it here, then.
  20. Outshined_One
    You clearly need to get acquainted with Jake Fox. :D
  21. Outshined_One
    I'd rather fleece every team in a trade AND be able to rub it in to the fans of that team! I'm an equal opportunist hater.
  22. Outshined_One
    You do. :D I currently have him blocked on AIM.
  23. Outshined_One
    Barton should be thankful he's in an AL team's farm system.

    A lot of Twins fans take exception to the fact that they took Mauer as a way of saving money or gauranteeing signability. I got lambaster by a barage of Twins fans on Twins.com(this was before I realized there were good baseball websites outside of the MLB ones) for bringing that up. They argued that they wanted Mauer from the get go and that Twins management would have been chastised for passing on Mauer, local kid. I thought I would throw this in here because it came quickly to mind when I read your post. One Twin fan in particular has made a point to yap at me constantly about how Prior refused to pitch for the Twins...despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up beyond hearsay. He's the only Twin fan I know who's said this, despite knowing a number of guys who have never heard anything about it. He's been quite thrilled about Prior's injury problems. He's also a Jock Jones fan. I'll just leave it at that.

    The weather prediction is ugly tomorrow. Thunderstorms galore.
