    That car accident could be a blessing in disguise since it discovered the lymph nodes.

    That was quite an ignorant post. The thread started with a question, should the Cubs go for another reclamation project. He did not create a "let's get Mulder thread". Why do we want another reclmation project: When we have: Prior Wood(ole, Jimmy has visions of Wood still dancing thru his head...maybe as a dominant closer) Miller(Jimmy's cocky and Miller will be back so he can prove it was worth a gamble) Is there anyone else we can nuture back? People need to stop with this "reclemation project" crap. Get a freaking pitcher that can give you innings. Man, the Cardinals were so stupid to go after that reclamation project Chris Carpenter. I personally would pass on Mulder because I don't think his velo is coming back - even to the levels they were at during his last days in Oakland/early days in STL.

    No sign of weight problems yet, but it certainly is possible down the road.

    Here we go But really, I never get tired of the first one. :)

    I've preferred Von and would love for him to be the Cubs' next hitting instructor. But Zisk is pretty good. Despite the Dark-Age idea that middle-of-the-order hitters need to be aggressive at all costs? Where did he say that? He said he'd prefer teaching patience to an aggressive hitter than vice versa. He also said the Cubs weren't going to pay Harvey to walk (duh).

    That's only part of the article. Harvey also talks about his 4-HR game, what he's talked to Brian Dopirak about during his struggles and how he impressed Jim Hendry in a recent game by going oppo on a 2-strike slider. There was even a pic: http://www.news-journalonline.com/downloads/Sptcubsharvey083106.jpg

    Oh wow, Tyler Colvin's grand slam was of the inside-the-park variety (the OFs collided). Colvin has hit a HR in each of the last 3 games.

    The Cubs acquired Barrett a few weeks after they acquired Lee.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Diamondbacks feel differently. Those two teams should be fun to watch for the next half decade.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    There are other positives about letting Pierre go. Point taken, lawl.

    That series was hands-down the most exciting regular season series I've ever watched. - Game 1, Cubs lose 13-11 even though they make an 8th and 9th inning push. Sammy hits 59. - Game 2, Cubs win 15-12 thanks to an RBI single from Tyler Houston and a walk-off HR from Orlando freaking Merced. Sammy hits 60. - Game 3, Cubs win 11-10 in extra innings thanks to a walkoff HR from Mark Grace. Sammy hits 61 and 62. The late-season additions of Gary Gaetti and GlenAllen deserve special mention. The Karchner for Garland trade on the other hand we probably want back. Probably?
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    I don't know much about his breaking stuff (I'll watch the game video from Boise's web site sometime tomorrow...hopefully will learn more from that). He is 19, does have a mid-90s FB and is missing a lot of bats...probably somewhere 10-15.

    Ceda in the Cubs system: 21 IP, 2.14 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, .145 BAA, 31 K, 9 BB, 1 HR. Overall: 44 IP, 3.68 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, .195 BAA, 62 K, 22 BB, 2 HR. Not bad. :)

    Canzler has had a hell of a season (league rank in parenthesis): .270/.326 (meh)/.563 (3rd)/.889 (5th), 16 HR (1st), 19 2B (1st), 4 3B (3rd, Colvin's 1st), 39 XBH (1st), 58 RBI (1st). Between Canzler, Colvin, Joseph and some others, Boise has a great offense (2nd best in the NWL in most stats). And Pawelek-Muldowney-Ceda should be a good rotation. Of course, Salem-Keizler is 50-18, and are 8-2 against the Hawks, so the things will be stacked against Boise all the same.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Poop. :( Trade Pierre.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa wins 3-2.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ceda's 5th: Groundout, 6-3. K looking. BB on 4 pitches. K swinging on 3 pitches 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 HBP, 1 BB, 6 K. This is Ceda's longest outing of the season (anywhere, including AZL Peoria, AZL Mesa and Boise). I don't think he'll be out there for the 6th, Boise has Jeremy Papelbon up in the pen. Either way, I have to go now, hopefully Boise/Ceda keep it up. Boise up 2-0.

    RUSS CANZLER! HOMERUN #16...OFF THE SCOREBOARD! He now has the record for most HRs in a season by a Boise Hawk, breaking Todd Greene's mark of 15 in 1993. He also has the NWL lead in HRs again. Boise up 2-0 after 4.
