White Sox lose again, they were swept by the Angels.

plz take it easy on us next week I'm completely freaked out about Peterson, not confident about our young DL. Dont worry about our offense. As long as you are reasonably talented/big, just stack 8 or 9 men in the box and you'll be fine. We didnt have one pass attempt in the second half yesterday. Wow. Now I think I'll be pissed if we lose.

It's ridiculous. Don't worry, he'll get the next long relief appearance, and when he gets hit because he hasn't pitched in nearly 2 weeks, that will prove Dusty right. It's a never-ending cycle.

But Neifi saved the season!

Murton ensures some quality-bench time with that HR.

UCLA beat Rice 63-21. :) Drew Olson actually looked competent at QB and the Bruins gained 478 yards in just the first half.

The Bull Pen
CaliforniaRaisin replied to Beer Kaese's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Mota has another year before free agency. Maybe they can take advantage of small market teams with arby eligible middle relievers. David Riske, come on down. I agree that is the way to go. BJ Ryan looks good but the Cubs recent track record with FA relievers (i.e.- Hawkins, Remlinger) makes me a little nervous about giving big bucks to another one. I think Ryan is far more talented than either of those two pitches. Plus, BJ has succeeded in the closer role (something LaTroy never really did) and he's not an old free agent like Remlinger (he's entering his prime). I have no problem going for a Riske-type player and bring back Ryan Dempster as closer, but I have no qualms with going after BJ Ryan. Just say no to Billy Wagner. -
No, San Jose State. They did. They're not much of a threat though. Well, they'll be ranked next week when UCLA rolls into Norman. Ugh, I wish you guys were coming to Norman. The game is in the Rowl Bowl. WE ARE BAD. Our O-line is bad, our qb's are bad or inexperienced, and our WR's are bad or inexperienced. I blame this on our terrible 2003 recruiting class, I think half of the class have quit. It's looking really, really bad. Ahh, a home game. That's good. :) I should try to get tix, make use of my alumni benefits.

Poor Ronny. :(
-
Dangit, Tate's on my fantasy team and he's my best QB. Gah.
-
Season (yeah, I'm probably overreacting). It's not something the team would do, but he's (maybe or is it just Dusty who thinks that?) got the leg injury too. His arm has just not bounced back from the career-high IP and all those pitches thrown in 2003. Gah, I hope Ronny isn't too hurt.
-
At this point, just shut down Prior. Geez.

Did Oklahoma hold on and win?
-
Thanks. Dude, where's Pujols, Rivera, and Halladay? I felt with those four, that would be all we would need. BJ Ryan or Mariano Rivera would be a nice addition to the pen, though.
-
Haha, Corey leading off? Dusty should bat Lee 8th or something. Does Dusty know Walker can lead off?
-
Whhhaaaatttt???? But Vance, I thought you were against Carpenter? Uh, I mean, he is a Cardinal..... :wink: I know you're teasing, but I've always said I hate the Astros and Cardinals equally. Don't worry. Once Hendry gets us Johan next year, he'll win the Cy over any Card or Astro.

Why didn't the Cubs sign Luis Castillo??
CaliforniaRaisin replied to CubfaninCA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wasn't he a FA after 2003?? Don't think they gave him an extension. Weren't the Mets really after him?? Yeah, I forgot. According to the ESPN article, the Mets were hard after him, and we were after him too. It says he took less money to stay in Florida. Yeah, that's right. It seemed like he didn't want to leave the Marlins, Hendry sure was interested and made a good offer, if I remember correctly. -
I thougt Williams was going to be in the rotation regardless...Prior, Wood, Z, Maddux and Williams. I didn't think Williams' position was contingent on what Maddux does. If no free agents are brought in and Maddux, Prior, Wood and Zambrano are already in the rotation, I hope Williams competes with Guzman, Hill, Mitre and maybe some darkhorse young pitcher for the 5th spot (such as Marshall, Nolasco or Pinto).

I cannot believe this thread is 35 premium pages long. I mean, we're talking about Carpenter vs. Clemens, not Carpenter vs. Zambrano or Prior. I don't know if I should be impressed or shocked with you guys. 35 pages! :shock:

According to Gameday, you are right: Hairston Neifi Lee Burnitz Nomar Walker Barrett Patterson Williams I want to choke the toothpick out of Dusty's mouth and shove it up his ass. And I'm not joking in the least bit. That's not appropriate, threats like that are not torelated at NSBB. You might want to check out the Game Threads Etiquette thread that is stickied at the top of this forum if you need a refresher on the rules in this forum.

Cubs to play Twins in '06 interleague
CaliforniaRaisin replied to JGalt73's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Did the Cubs play Detroit twice? I know the Tigers were at Wrigley in early June of 2000. I was there to see Aguilera pick up his 300th career save. Aguilera's 300th save? Oh how I envy you! Hopefully we'll get a Johan Santana - Carlos Zambrano game for a battle of the Venezuelan superstars.
