  1. That stare down Frank Robinson had with the umpire was classic.
  2. Virginia Tech-Georgia Tech could be interesting. But yeah, not many good games this weekend.
  3. I was waiting for this question. As for an actual question: Len, what other broadcasters (for any sport but mainly baseball) do you enjoy listening to?
  4. Remember that dude? Unfortunately. Why?
  5. What is this winning thing the Cubs are doing now? I'm not used to it.
  6. No more than $1M as a base salary for a year. Let him earn more money/years with his on-field performance.
  7. Dunn strikes out 3 times against the Marlins today and is now at 190 for the season. The record is 195 and Dunn has 4 games to go. Here is his schedule: at Florida with Nolasco starting at Pittsburgh x3 with Zach Duke, Paul Maholm, and Ian Snell Here's hoping he can do it.
  8. I became a Cubs fan when I was just a kid Now that I’m an adult, I wonder why I did I wish I had the chance to pick a different team But that’s just a product of a Jack induced dream Fortunately for me, baseball season’s done Now I can concentrate on all the football fun I’ll save my money, for lots and lots of beer Because if I know the Cubs I’ll want to forget next year
  9. Why does everyone think Crawford would make a difference on the Cubs? This year he is having a career year, and he wouldn't even be an improvement over the Cubs current OF's. Crawford .303 BA/.345 OBP /835 OPS Jones .287 BA/ .335 OBP/ .839 OPS Murton .298 BA/ .365 OBP/ .811 OPS It seems like the Cubs already have 2 similar players in the OF. You conveniently left out the outfielder he would be replacing: Pierre: .291/.330/.390/.720 Crawford is only 25 so there is the potential for him to improve even more and his OPS has improved every year. :oops: I saw him listed as a LF on his stat page. Even considering there is a spot for him to fit in the OF, would you trade Rich Hill for Jacque Jones? Considering how much everyone complains about how bad Jones is and how big of a waste of money he was, it is interesting to see everyone clamouring for a guy that actually puts up worse numbers(outside of SBs). Jacque will turn 32 in April of next year. He's not likely to improve his numbers. Crawford could still imporve. Obviously you don't know whether Crawford will improve or not but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. And no I wouldn't trade Rich Hill for Jacque Jones right now.
  10. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/soccer10k/Pierre.jpg I love it. BTW It wouldn't let me put Pierre and 9 on the jersey so I picked 10.
  11. I just realized that Werder Bremen is ahead of Barcelona 1-0.
  12. Hat trick for Drogba.
  13. Won't be watching. Go Hill.
  14. Just rounding off the numbers. If you round to the nearest hundred, the Cubs would have 100 wins on the year. We should be in the playoffs.
  15. Why does everyone think Crawford would make a difference on the Cubs? This year he is having a career year, and he wouldn't even be an improvement over the Cubs current OF's.

  16. Does anybody know how many infield hits Pierre has this year?
  17. Great save by the Levski Sofia goalie but the rebound goes right to Drogba for the Chelsea goal. 1-0.
  18. Anybody that says Sosa "spent many a year wearing out a patch of grass in right field" gets absolutely no respect or credibility from me. And from some of the other posts in this thread, I'm not the only one who feels this way. Say what you want about the corked bat, steroids (theoretically), and leaving early but Sammy WAS the Cubs for years.
  19. Ballack's shot goes off the post for Chelsea. That's two now.
  20. Apparently you didn't see the "Official World Cup" thread we had.
  21. Chelsea vs Levski Sofia is on ESPN2 right now.
  22. If I lived in Minnesota, during the summer when the weather is nice, the last thing I would want to do in the summer is go and sit inside a dome for 3+ hours.
  23. Is there a way that both can miss the playoffs? Because that would be ideal.
  24. True, no one knows if Pie will make it or not. But given his age (21), his level (AAA) and his production .283/.341/.451 on the year, .323/.373/.538 post All-Star break, he is a pretty darn safe bet to come close to Crawford-type production in the bigs and certainly has the ability to surpass it. Who says you have to get rid of Pie to get Crawford though? Why couldn't you have both on the team?
