  1. 7-1 Mutts. Hoo-boy. I'm not hearing much out of Ronnie - I bet he's positively livid.
  2. Oh, man LOL. Double steal. I'm laughing so hard you'd think I was a Card fan.
  3. Anyone wanna bet that Cammy launches a granny? Well, he got a 2-run single. :( This game is so over. The weird thing is, I'm morbidly curious to see how bad it can get.
  4. Yeah, this is a flashchat kinda game.
  5. Yeah, aren't we tied with Milwaukee now?
  6. One more run and this game is for all intents and purposes OVAH.
  7. I immediately thought of Farnsworth, circa 1999.
  8. Ick. Stop trying to fine tune it, Hill. As to the SS dilemma, how about neither? I'd give Cedeno the job, but that's JMO. I think another bona fide starter is in order (a workhorse, like Jon Lieber during his Cub stint) and a solid OF performer.
  9. Not much of one, but it counts just the same. And Nomar promptly hits a weak grounder for an out. :( Gawd, Nomar, why do you stink so much this season??? I hope that's sarcasm, and you're gonna give him more than one AB on his comeback. Not sarcasm, just impatience and remembering the first month of the season. You should have seen him at ST - en fuego. The utter lack of production when the season began just floored me.

  11. I agree. And what is really maddening is that the organization has the bucks to outbid just about anyone for good OBP players... but iirc Jim Hendry has gone on record in not believing in that stat. Check it out, Jimbo - today the Oakland A's head the Wild Card race in the AL (and one game out in the West)... even with all THEIR injuries and a horrific first half. I'm about ready to cash in my chips with respect to our current GM.
  12. Why DOES Morgan hate Ryno so? Is it as simple as "Little Joe has big Ego", or something else? It's a crying shame that a guy can't be booted out of the HOF for being small-minded or just plain stupid about baseball in general. Joe Morgan would have at least two counts against him.
  13. THANK FREAKING GOD!!!!! Cubs WIN!!! Demps labored out there - dripping sweat like JoBo.

  16. Lowered expectations? No. I always liked JoBo. He may not have a overwhelimg fastball or anything, but the guy has heart, and is a class-act. I meant not as much pressure - TB is not exactly a dominating club (although they did sweep the Yankees earlier this year). No one is understanding me today - maybe I need to take an ESL course.
  17. You know, as much as I bash Dusty, we do have a terrible time with managers in general (and perhaps also general managers?). What's wrong with this organization in that regard? Can't always blame the manager.
  18. Note to those of you who replied about Macias: it's not so much that I think he's not a good player (even though that is my opinion), as much as I just don't trust Dusty. Who knows what hair-brained idea Dusty will come up with to justify playing his "pet" more often, once he has a good game when Dusty plugs him in.
  19. He singled and scored a run already. Not to mention that Macias had a nice AB. So folks are on a Macias bandWGN now? Remember the blind squirrel...
  20. What's his OPS? At any rate, catching Maddux and Prior will show Blanco more ABs, which may help his offense considerably.
  21. I'm late coming in... why on EARTH is that waste of space (albeit smallish) Macias playing 3B and in the lineup? If there's something wrong with Aramis, I'd MUCH sooner see Cedeno out there.
  22. The guy IS from California. He looks like a longshoreman and talks like a surfer dude. :)
