Possibly. -
I looked through last year's thread a little bit to see what time the Cubs would likely be making their pick, and decided to see how some of the early picks are doing. Aumont, Parker, and Bumgarner are all doing really well. Sean Doolittle, the last minute riser who no one wanted(and went 7 picks before the Cubs sandwich pick anyway) is hitting .330/.418/.632/1.050 in A+ as a 21 year old. Moustakas has a .706 OPS in Low A with a ton of errors at SS. LaPorta is raking at AA, and Heyward has a .900+ OPS in Low A. Wieters is pushing a 1.000 OPS at A+.

It's basically rebranded Hardees. So yes. Not "basically." It is Hardees. Exactly the same. There's a Hardees in my town. It's the most disgusting food I've ever put in my mouth. I haven't eaten there in years, and the only reason I used to eat there sometimes was because it was across the street from my old job and I'd run over there on my lunch hour. This is blasphemy, Hardees is the Cadillac of fast food. The one at school had a bacon cheese melt, a double burger with bacon and cheese sauce. And you could get 2 for 3 dollars, it was like stealing.

What a dumb thing for Hahn to try to initiate a confrontation like that. Thankfully Maddux was gathering himself and Barrett played peacemaker.

Maddux on pace for about a 70 pitch perfect game
-
Only 17 pitches for all that? I'll take it

Cardinals game is PPD. Double header tomorrow.

Season Ending surgery for John Smoltz

For whatever it's worth, Greinke doesn't have a pronounced home/road split. Well, at least he didn't before his sample-skewing beatdown the Sox gave him in his last outing. Maybe we could hook him up with the same sport psychologist that Hill talks to.

I totally thought Kyle was kidding and going to make a joke, since I'd never seen him post in the Soccer thread and didn't know the game was slightly tape delayed. Oh well, I'm not going to get home to see the start anyway.

Those are fantasy rankings. Fukudome doesn't hit HR and doesn't steal bases.

Anyone have a Brewerfan.net account?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Hairyducked Idiot's topic in General Baseball Talk
I'm not quite sure how to prove this, but with the SOS argument that keeps coming from the Brewers fans, I wonder how much of the difference is that the Brewers got to play 6 games against the Cubs, and the Cubs had 6 games against the Brewers. Anyone able to show what would happen if the Cubs and Brewers had "played themselves", instead of each other, so to speak? -
Funny comment from the "Daily stew"
Transmogrified Tiger replied to AubCubFan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If there are suspensions, nothing will happen quickly enough for it to impact our series with them. -
Details on the war on BP please.

Hoping for a good outing out of Lilly tonight. In Petco at night to help his fly ball tendencies, against a bad lineup whose two best(only?) hitters are LH. If he can throw strikes he could have a really good outing, I'm hoping for 8 IP.

Soriano. He'll have priority over Acosta in the Atlanta pen. Atlanta will probably win more games than the Cards going forward. Franklin has been peripherally terrible. LaRussa has been moving Perez slowly to the end of the game, and could supplant Franklin before long, especially if Franklin's peripherals catch up to him.

Saber Scouting released the first 15 picks of their Mock, the bottom half of the round is coming later today.

Smoltz done?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to bukie's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
This makes me really excited that I picked up Rafael Soriano yesterday. -
Re: If Edmonds continues to hit...
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Someone show me the difference in plate discipline between Crawford and Soriano. Also, how we're able to know what type of player Pie "thinks" he is would be handy info as well. -
What was the photoshop?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-3-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
The bonus wasn't disclosed when he did sign and he wasn't a high profile signing, so it was likely a 5-figure bonus. I don't know, but he was sent directly to the states at a rather young age, and directly installed into the regular rotation. Few guys the age he was when signed go straight to the states, or get the regular innings he got. Point is, by his first summer they were obviously treating him like a prospect. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if he signed for 6 figures! Nice to see him with a strong debut. Any update on whether or not Ceda is hurt, getting pulled after 4 good innings? Sure hope he's OK. Didn't Raisin say it was a rain delay? -

Wellington Castillo with another good night at AA, 3 for 5 Sam Fuld is 3 for 3 with a double and has thrown out 2 baserunners(1 at 2B, 1 at 3B) -
Easily outside, but because it came from a RH across the plate and the bases are loaded with 3 balls, he got the call
-
He had to swing at that with the bogus strike 2 call, that sucks.
