You think the M's will pony up the money for Daisuke and Schmidt? Honestly, no. But given all the things in their favor in terms of the Japanese players signing with them (and the fact that Schmidt isn't a slam dunk Mariner signing), I think they have to be in the top 2 or 3 (add Baltimore, I guess). That wasn't really a fair question on my part either. I was trying to point out that many people are viewing Daisuke and Schmidt as non-Cubs because of rumors of them going to Seattle, but it's highly unlikely both end up there. I've written off Schmidt as a Cub because I think he'll go to Seattle and I've done the same for Daisuke but I think he'll be in New York next year.

Who will pick up Johnny B?

I doubt Leyland will be in any sort of hot water after the year is over no matter how good/bad they do in the postseason. -
I guess if you are going to trade the guy, right now would be the best time to do so.

It's official: Girardi fired
soccer10k replied to Lefty's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
So you fire a manager that takes his team, one that was supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league, into the thick of the Wild Card hunt in his first year as manager. Brilliant. ETA: In the ESPN.com article, it says Fredi Gonzalez is expected to be named the replacement today. -
I had to go with the Yankees because of that ridiculous lineup although Minnesota was a close second. GO A'S!!

Do any of those teams have to play anyone good other than USC. I am not impressed at all by Cal after being destroyed by a team from a real conference. That game couldn't have gone any worse for Cal. Even if they lose a close, tough game on the road they would have received some respect. Now everybody will go back to the Tennesssee game. It sucks but I understand why it happens. Regardless of what you say about Oregon beating/losing to Oklahoma, they did play very well against an out of conference opponent from a major conference. That being said, I'm picking Cal to win a high scoring entertaining game.

2 down, hopefully 1 to go.

No this is just the end of one chapter of torturing. The book aint over either, its the beginning of a whole new chapter. Can't you let me live in my dream world for a little while? :D

Article on Cubs.com Hendry Focused on Pierre Aram Wood
soccer10k replied to Knyption's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Translation: "If they offer me a buttload of money that is significantly more a year than anyone else does, then I'll come back." -
Gotta agree with that. Didn't even think about any sexual innuendo until you pointed it out.

Wow, they went from 8.5 games over Minnesota on July 1 to a 1-game lead on July 31. A bigger overall loss of games by Detroit, but still impressive. eta: though I suppose not nearly as impressive as losing 7 games in a week like the Cardinals did The Wild Card is a crapshoot. I realize that they lost 7.5 games in the WC standings in a month and that is never something to brag about but with the WC there is the potential for numerous teams to get hot and catch you. With the division, realistically there will be maybe two teams with a chance to catch you. And they got swept by the Royals to end the year.

I think the AL's cumulative 154-98 record against the NL in interleague play this year holds more weight than a seven game series between one team from each league when determining which League was better this year. Arguing the WS determines which league is better is almost as bad as saying the All Star game determines which league is better. As far as I'm concerned, the AL was a far better league this year.

Well that sure is interesting. I agree. It was the starting pitching that really hurt the Cubs this year (although DLee going down didn't help matters). While I don't think Jacque's contract is going to turn out to be the best of FA signings, he was more than serviceable this year and was the least of the team's problems. I realize that the contract is an issue and isn't something that should be ignored when discussing the player but I think that some people focus too much on the contract and find ways to dimish Jacque's on-field production because of it. Give the guy some credit where credit is due.

Lou Piniella, Felipe Alou? No thanks.
-
You should just put that in your sig in large, bolded type.
-
Seconded.
-
Worst case scenario is Dodgers-Yankees (Dad vs Mom) but not for that reason. Having to hear my dad brag about the Dodgers winning a World Series would be insufferable. And while my mom wouldn't do that, it's still the Yankees which would be horrible. Cards-Yankees would be a CLOSE second.
-
I'll agree with that. I think a lot of people had the Yanks/Red Sox making the playoffs but like you said, the White Sox/Indians both making it wasn't much of a stretch going into the season. As for the NL, I don't think many people had two teams coming out of the NL West.
-
Red Sox fans should be thanking Theo Epstein right now. Just think how furious they would be if Pedro had been signed by the Red Sox to the same 4 year deal and then this happened. Oh man.

:lol: =D> Pure gold.

Adam Dunn made a valiant effort (76 K's in August/September/October) but with 194 K's, he fell just one strikeout short of his own record. Dunn now owns the top 2 season with K's for a hitter. I have no doubt that someday Dunn will crack 200.

Last game thread (if you can even call them threads over the past couple months) of the year. Can't really say I'm disappointed based on how the year has gone.
-
So we ended up with the #3 pick, eh? While it's not #1, we did end up with the worst record in the National League. Gotta be proud of that accomplishment.
