I was about to say that they were, at the very least, the same age in terms of years. -
Isn't it broke against LHP? I have to add that I'm not really in love with the fact that Lou comes up with an idea, implements it for all of two games, and then feels he has seen enough to can it. I don't think it matters all that much in this case, though. You're right. I couldn't agree more. I'd much rather go back to the days of trotting out Jason Bere or Glendon Rusch or Neifi Perez or Remlinger as a LOOGY for the whole season in spite of bad outings... the only we can know is to let it run its course over a season... sample size, dude. One would hope that the manager would be smart enough not to try [expletive] experiments in the first place. Thanks for playing.

LOL at simulpost
-
Don't do that to me. I miss Mark Prior. :(
-
Ryan Dempster in the rotation...
-
His career numbers batting 5th have been bad. Bad idea from the get-go but I'm glad Lou did see it wasn't working out and made the move. He's barely even hit 5th, but the one year he did hit 5th for a decent amount he was much better in that spot than leadoff. Haha.. nice.
-
Apathy. Was that an answer or an order? Either way, I don't care... Wow.. a JC sighting.
-
Quite a distinguished bunch.
-
LOL... emailer to Silvy and Waddle wrote that somebody should warn Jason Bay about Izturis's happy fingers.
-
How can you NOT love this guy (unless you're abuck)? I think he's kinda acting like a jerk with that quote. +1
-
I don't see how they would have been racking up more debt by paying Jacque to play for the Marlins when they already have to pay him to rot on our bench.
-
Cubs are eating 2/3 of Izturis's remaining salary

Updated as of 7/18's game

I love getting rid of bad players. Now, if we could just dump off that Hank White contract... (yea, I know, he just might be our best hitting catcher right now), along with Jones and Eyre, I'd have nobody to dislike on the team anymore.
-
Bruce needs to stop coming up with scoops; it's clear that he's been right ONE time ;) :) It's not like he reported this like a week or two ago or anything.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss

Bruce Reporting BREAKING NEWS Izturis going to the Pirates for PTBNL
-
Fair enough. As for the comparison to Sam Smith, I don't know if that even applies... Smith seems to come up with crazy trade scenarios, but he never really reports them as rumor. He pretty much overtly states that he's speculating and really just making up his own fantasies. At least, that's the impression I get. You might be able to come up with examples to the contrary.
-
All that other stuff aside...I'm just saying we should take his scoops with the same grain of salt we'd take anyone else's. All of those guys are just as reliable as one another. Just because he reports something as being imminent doesn't make it any less likely to happen than if someone else had reported it, IMO.

Levine isn't very good at his job. He nailed one scoop. That's like saying Neifi's awesome because he hit one walk off HR. Who in that profession nails most of their scoops? Dairy Queen Employees. Hah That reminds me of this... http://blogebrity.com/images/cuban_homeless3.jpg How awesome is he?

Levine isn't very good at his job. He nailed one scoop. That's like saying Neifi's awesome because he hit one walk off HR. Which trade are we referring to here? Nomar

Let's face it... for the most part, scoops are just rumors and the vast majority of them don't come true. Doesn't mean there wasn't something to them most of the time, either.
-
I also remember reading that the Nomar deal was only a myth until a day or two before the deadline when Hendry pulled everyone together and made a deal. I could be remembering wrong though. I highly doubt that it was just a coincidence. It makes more sense that that would be the media covering their asses after 99% of them thought that Nomar was going nowhere, especially not the Cubs. There had to have been talks of some level for a while.
-
Nah, I'd say he deserves 100% of it. You're right. The fact that he was the only reporter in town with the scoop on the biggest Cubs trade in recent memory (a month before it even happened) means nothing.
