    I'm sorry, if there's one thing that the Internet has taught me about sports, it's that there are classless fans everywhere. Yes, what the fans did to Hawkins there was inappropriate and rude. He rubbed many fans the wrong way and he was inconsistent as a setup man. However, we're not alone in this. Fans everywhere are classless and rude. Take a stroll around the internet and various message boards. Read what various AL East fans had to say about Matt Clement taking a comebacker off the head. Read the reactions to Mark Prior taking a comebacker off the elbow. Todd Hollandsworth fouling a ball off his shin. Terrell Owens breaking his leg. The list goes on. Does it make it right? No. Is every fan like this? Of course not. But, it's an unfortunate fact of sports. Philadelphia is not the only city responsible for that kind of thing, nor is Chicago.

    I think Hawkins is about to pull a Manuel Wright on the mound. It's classless and tasteless, but man, it's been effective.

    Oh my. That's absolutely horrible. I wish him nothing but the best. Geez.

    It's freakin' windy here right now. Even if the game is played tonight, it will be one heck of an adventure.

    Bo, One of the biggest burning questions Cubs fans seem to have this season center around Brian Dopirak, whose struggles in these parts have not gone without notice. His strikeout and walk numbers are on par with where he was last season, but his average and power are both down significantly. What's happened to Brian? Has he been battling injuries or exhaustion this season? Or does it seemed like he's been overmatched by FSL pitching? Or is it something else? Thanks a bunch for this!

    Cubs 2005 13th rounder Brett Jackson made his debut today at Mesa.
  7. Outshined_One
    Sounds like he wants out of Boston: Link He'd definitely solve our offensive hole in LF.

    Matt Bruback and Jose Cueto.

    Burnett would definitely pick up where Wood left off. And heck, if we sign him to an extension, all the better. If not, oh well, next June we'll hopefully get a 1st rounder and a sandwich pick for him.

    Hill is 25, not 23.

    It makes no sense to throw a guy out there who has labrum problems for bullpen duty so that he can shred his elbow and his shoulder while overthrowing everything. I mean, there's a ton of potential there that he could very well destroy his arm if it's overused. Wood should just throw the towel in, get his shoulder scoped, and find some one in the offseason to work on his mechanics with. A bullpen jaunt could be career suicide for Wood. A frayed labrum will only get worse with more wear and tear. I'm convinced this is posturing by Hendry. If he has Wood in the bullpen, it will make his need for relievers seem less than what it really is. If he came out and said Wood was being shut down for the season, some one like, say, Chuck Lamar might bump up the asking price for Baez to be traded to the Cubs. The same could potentially be said for starting pitching if it turns out that Wood might not be fully recovered from this thing until some time next season (as you remember, Matt Morris had plenty of issues last season despite getting the surgery). The timing of this injury could not have been worse for Hendry, imo. I predict that, following the deadline, Wood throws some side sessions, mysteriously feels really bad pain, and is shut down for the rest of the season to get surgery.

    That'll be a fun contract if his injury problems don't go away. Major ouch.

    Harvey went 3/4 with a double and 2 RBIs today. Also, Milb.com is not updating the box scores for some reason. I'll post all of the numbers whenever they post them.
  16. Outshined_One
    Anyone else think this might be posturing by JH so that teams don't try to ream him in attempting to acquire a SP or a reliever?
  17. Outshined_One
    The Reds are definitely skewed in their visions of what they want in return - but I don't think Dunn was ever in Hendry's radar. Kearns was always the man he wanted, or talked about. I'm still convinced Hendry's playing coy with that situation. He's never been one to make his intentions public, ya know?
  18. Outshined_One
    That wasn't a slide so much as a controlled crash.
  19. Outshined_One
    Jeromy with an even more impressive basket catch.
  20. Outshined_One
    It seems like everything SF hits, it manages to sneak past a defender. For the Cubs...not as much so.
  21. Outshined_One
    Maybe he likes Sea World.
  22. Outshined_One
    Every Cub game is always been a utterly bizarre game. Truth thou spake.
  23. Outshined_One
    Anyone else think that this has been an utterly bizarre game?

    What was the trivia Q? Who had the best porn moustache before Jeff Kent? I've always thought Raffy and Jose Valentin had underrated pornstaches.
  25. Outshined_One
    Please tell me this is sarcasm. Um, no. This team has underachieved all season, and by clinging to the hope that the Cubs are only 4.5 games out of the WC, we're giving up the opportunity to trade retreads like Remlinger, Blanco, Garciaparra, Walker, and Burnitz to a real contender, and rebuild our farm system. Mark it down. This team is not going to the postseason. And wishing like hell for it to happen won't make it so. You also got next week's powerball numbers, out of curiosity?
