Somebody brought this up in another thread (and I have no idea which one) but under the proposed deal the Cubs would be paying all but the league minimum (or around that figure) while the Marlins would have picked up the rest. But the Cubs would still have to pay another player to take Jones' position on the roster. So essentially the player replacing Jones would have to make the league minimum for the Cubs to not take on any more salary than they would already have by keeping Jones.

I said yes because knowing the Cubs' luck he would either serve his suspension against Arizona or during the Philly/New York stretch.
-
Other: Southpaw19. In all seriousness, I went with ARam.

The first U.S. goal, a header by Szetela was superb also. Very impressive victory.

Actually, for once, I won't. I have to cover a Davis Little League All-Star game at 11:30. I probably won't get up for the beginning of the Cubs game, (although I might just for the hell of it) but I will be able to watch some of it before heading to the Little League game. EDIT: I had to work anyway but my editor gave me the option of covering either the baseball game or a bike race. That wasn't a hard decision.

Just because Young likely threw at Lee doesn't mean he's not a good pitcher and not the most worthy, out of the Last Ballot candidates, of being in the All-Star game. Z isn't saying that Young's a great guy. All Z is saying is that Young has outpitched Z this year. Which is true. As far as the rest of it, what you said later is probably correct - that he's not best buds with some of his teammates.

The Cubs can't control what the Brewers do - only try and win their own games. I'll take 11-5 every 16 games for the rest of the season. 8-) LA, AZ, and ATL don't impress me very much. If we just concentrate on winning in July, I wouldn't be a bit suprised to see us jump on top of that wild card race. The Crew probably won't slow down, they're real good, are getty Cappy back, have an easy schedule, hit really well, blah blah. Too many reasons I can think of they won't slide. Hope they do, but I'm not counting on it. Not winning the division doesn't have to be the death knell of our season, though. Don't worry, Sheets will go down eventually.

That would be an insult to blind squirrels everywhere. This is like a blind squirrel who can't smell anything and has no legs finding a nut.
-
Yes.
-
CUBS WIN!! CUBS WIN!! Only 5.5 back now.
-
Two down!! Come on Bobby, one more.
-
Come on Bobby!!
-
1 down.
-
Omar = :banned:
-
That's no good.
-
I assume so. Scary as that may seem. Meh. Not too much. I'll go ahead and say 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth.
-
3 more outs. Is Howry the closer today?
-
At first I thought DLee made a bad throw but Marmol just dropped that.
-
It's all up to the pen at this point. I would assume Marmol is staying in.
-
Marmol is lights out right now. I love it.
-
Not dominant, but quite good. He had one inning where he basically caused the run himself by walking a couple batters and hitting a guy. The 4 hits have been mostly bloops. Thanks. That's kind of what I figured based on his line and his high pitch count.
-
How has Z looked today?
-
Great, now the Second Coming could happen tonight and it STILL wouldn't be the lead story on BBTN! Yep. Easy lead story for ESPN. No debate tonight.
-
Ugh. Bonds just hit #751.

anyone who has signed up in the last 6 months are going "who are these moderators....Jon? Cuse? Chris?" Jon posts occasionally. Chris I remember at least posting occasionally during this baseball season. But I can't remember Cuse posting at all in the last couple months. Cuse posted a lot in defense of Big East football, but nothing since That's the last I remember of him also and that was mid-January. I think he might have posted some during college basketball but I don't know for sure.
