I would have said the Cubs would be in fifth or sixth place and about 15 games under .500.

Good lord that lineup is horrendous. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

The only way one of the two doesn't go on the DL is if they're both out for a maximum of two days. Otherwise one of them will have to go on the DL. There's just no other option as the Cubs can't live with 2 players on the bench who just can't play.

I hope Bonds doesn't make an out this weekend but does so while not hitting a home run.

Do you really think fake tagging is cheating? EDIT: Excellent post, BTW and you made some very good points.

I hate Dusty more and more as the days pass.

Haven't gotten an answer to this question yet. I have no idea what it is either.

Welcome back Ryan. Please pitch well.

Well that leads me to ask you this, is ryan dempster someone you want in the rotation? Absolutely not.

I suspect Kendall's next contract will not be very large. For example Mike Piazza signed for 1 year and $2M after underperforming the last few years of his 7/$91M deal. I don't think it will be very large but he'll get an extra mil or two per year because of his reputation as a good defensive player and a guy who works well with the pitching staff. Not saying its right but I think he will.

Based on what evidence can you say half the guys pitching to him were on roids? The evidence against Bonds is overwhelming (See Game of Shadows)- you're just speculating about the percentage of pitchers on roids to try to help your case. I don't know much about Game of Shadows or the circus around it. I refuse to read that or Conseco's book or any of that stuff that's hellbent simply on slamming people and profiting off the streroid buzz. But didn't the two guys who wrote it refuse to give up their sources? Meaning they could've been making all of that up? I have no doubt that Bonds was on some kind of performance enhancer at some point. He admitted to the cream and the clear in court, just as McGwire admitted using Andro. But the whole Game of Shadows thing always seemed a little fishy to me. Not that you're necessarily doing this but comparing Canseco's book to Game of Shadows is unfair to the authors of Game of Shadows. The two guys who wrote GoS worked for the SF Chronicle and started covering the BALCO when the original raid happened. The book focuses on BALCO and Victor Conte as a whole and not Bonds, though Bonds is obviously a big part of it. It also talks about Jason Giambi, Marion Jones, and other track stars. I highly, highly doubt that these guys are just making this stuff up. Like Andy, I also applaud and admire them for not revealing their sources when faced with jail time because I'm not sure I would have been able to do the same. As for the actual question, yes Bonds should be get into the HOF.

I've talked to Fred a couple times and Aramis Fan sent me a couple probably around a year ago but that's it.

My girlfriend had to go to the Comcast store today to get a new remote control today and I picked up one of their brochures. I found out that I can get a sports package that includes Fox Soccer Channel for just $5 a month. I would also get the NFL Network, NBATV and a few College sports stations. I know what I'm gonna be signing up for.

This would tie the Dodgers and the Padres right? Yes it would and it did. Pad's ahead on percentage points.

Gonna have to set the alarm again to wake up for this one.

Anyone else worried it could suddenly reappears as suddenly as it disappeared? Sorry to bring negativity into this thread. [sarcasm] He stopped being a wuss like Mark Prior. [/sarcasm]

I don't know much about Fox. Hopefully he impresses in his time up. I'm just so happy Izturis is gone.

You have a picture of her with every minor leaguer don't you. Fox, Holliman, Gallagher, Kroeger, Robinson, Veal, and Fuld. Boy vance, your daughter really gets around. :wink:

sweet avatar he may be dead He maybe did what?

This is today's winning post. PM your address and I'll get the Tom Goodwin card sent to you. What was this in reference to? HAHAHAHA!!! Somebody said that Bonds was 0-5 against Ohman coming into that AB which lead to my statement. As for the card, I'll have to pass, vance. You can give it to somebody else or put it back into the options. And just take me out of the running altogether - picking up baseball cards just isn't my thing.

Cubs didn't get their 50th win last year until August 14.

CUBS WIN!!!

Winn strikes out. 2 down with Klesko coming up.

Struck out Roberts on a 3-2 pitch. 1 down with Winn up.

1 down!!
