    I'd put him in. Not on the 1st ballot though. The stuff you mentioned is real good, but nothing like breaking the record for most hits, or most consecutive games played, or 7 MVPs, or greatest player of his generation at a position, or any of the things I want to see before I go, "hell yeah first ballot!!"

    I agree, but it's still an easy catch for Barrett too, since it's just rolling in. Aww hell, we just have a real sucky defense at some positions. Put Jones & Barrett together on an exchange, it's no wonder they screw it up. What I really didn't like was the look of disgust on Jones' face after Barrett dropped it. Like, START PLAYING LIKE A REAL BASEBALL PLAYER, then criticize another ballplayer Jones you loser. I'd still rather see Jock Jones DFA'd today than Barrett gone. Barrett's terrible on D, but he can hit when he gets rolling. Jock is a joke, he's done, he isn't even trying and it's obvious.

    Which superstar are the Bulls trading for? I have no idea. They need one though, and it's doubtful they have any. June 28, 2007. The cold, sobering fact is, in order to get a real superstar in his prime it would cost the farm. Think Gordon, Deng, probably Tyrus + draft pick. People keep throwing out scenarios that only includes Deng OR Gordon. I'll believe that when I see it. I think the bidding for a real superstar starts at Deng & Gordon, and goes up from there. That leaves the only real question: if you bring in a Kobe, or a Garnett, does it equal a championship without your two former best players before bringing him in? If it doesn't, then I say just stand pat and hope Deng becomes a near-superstar, try to develop TT.

    Man, I don't think I've seen that since it happened live. That gave me chills all over again. I got butterflies in my stomach when he made that cut back inside, and I already knew what was going to happen! That's probably the #2 most exciting thing I've ever seen from one of my favorite teams (#1 being the 03 Division clincher, of course). The comeback against the Cardinals on MNF still ranks up there for me... I'll take the Cardinals comeback, and try to forget the SB runback was attached to a terrible game. For me that runback exists in a vacuum, the rest of the game doesn't exist 8-)

    Hell, even Ryan Church: .270 .367 .465 OPS+: 125. Hendry tried to get Church though. Was that really Hendry trying, or was it just the media and us wishing?

    So can we chalk this one up to our player development? Be careful, that almost sounds like a compliment. We've developed pitchers before. That's never really been the problem, IMO. Although we do seem to burn through arms quicker than most. The real issue has been the lack of positional player development, which has been discussed on these boards ad nauseum.

    Yeah DFA Ohman when the completely unuseable Scott Eyre is still on the bench. Wonderful idea. And let's pin all the blame on Ohman after the wonderful job that Theriot, Pie and Fontenot did of not knocking in a single run when the cubs had a bases loaded, no out situation in the 8th. The team gave up 5 runs in 13 innings, that's not terrible at all. As usual the offense was a steaming pile of crap and didn't put runs on the board (basically, two runs per nine innings against average pitching). But yeah, it's all Ohman's fault. Thank you, finally some sanity.

    I've never thought Washburn was all that great. Hope we can generate some O on him tonight.
  10. Soul
    Everything Jacque does turns to crap.
  11. Soul
    None of the first 3 hitters coming up have a hit tonight. That's the "heart" of our order without ARam.
  12. Soul
    Very true. Domino's has Pizza Hut beat by a longshot. :wink: Who taste-tests Pizza? How stupid. Dominoes & Papa John's both suck turds too, so who cares who even "wins"?

    Come on LSU.
  14. Soul
    That was an incredible pitch. Nobody can hit that.
  15. Soul
    5? That last slider was perfect.
  16. Soul
    If we lose, it's vance's fault. And all you other LSU guys, LOL.
  17. Soul
    My Uncle, Mr. Desi F. Assie will hopefully visiting him soon.

    It was a nice slide by Pie, well away from the bag to the outfield side. Too bad it doesn't matter, but I suppose at least Felix got some practice.
  19. Soul
    Jones auto-out in 5.....4.....3.....2....1...
  20. Soul
    Wow, Lee is so struggling. Damn it all. Too hard to win these games with ARam out and you slumping, D.
  21. Soul
    Steal it Pie.

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

    :lol: Gotta love the cubs. I'll just come on here every time Z pitches and say he looks shaky 8-) Seems to work!
  24. Soul
    LOL, no sooner did I say that he tossed one 97.
  25. Soul
    Inefficient. Yeah, I saw that in the box score too. How's his stuff? Edit: Nevermind, thanks Roast. He hit one batter, almost hit another, his fastball is rolling in at around 91 (though he did throw one 94 a moment ago). His slider is hit and miss, some with good bite but others are spinning a little. It looks a little shaky to me. Rolling up there at 91? i've seen him touch 96 at least once already, and if im not mistaken he just did again...but right now i'm way too far away from my tv to be sure. It's gotten a few MPH better as we've gone along. I'm seeing 94 regularly now. But I've also seen 90's and 91's.
