Cubs Announcement: MacPhail Resigns as President
soccer10k replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I just read the news. With Baker likely gone this is a good start to the offseason. All we need now is Hendry to be fired. -
The torture is over.
-
With a loss today and a Minnesota win, the Tigers have blown the AL Central and won the Wild Card. They will now have to go to New York in the first round. EDITED to correct an error.
-
You're a trooper Fred.

While I agree that Hendry should do everything in his power to retain Aramis I have to object with this statement. Cabrera is back to playing 3B for the Marlins this season, and he's far and away the best bat at the hot corner. (A position that's extremely well stacked in the NL right now; Cabrera, Ramirez, Wright, Rolen, Zimmerman, Atkins, etc.) Is Cabrera back playing 3B? Even with him in the mix Aramis stacks up very favorably. Miggy may be the better player in the long run, but right now Aramis is every bit as good. May I please share in your supply of wacky weed? If I were picking a 3B for tomorrow's game, my list would look like this: Cabrera Wright Ramirez Atkins But I'd be tempted to pick Atkins third. Realistically, those three could be put in any order depending on your overall preferences on offense. But Cabrera is well above the other three. I stand corrected, after looking at Cabrera's numbers this season. I hadn't looked at them in awhile. While I figued Cabrera was having a little bit better of a season than ARam, I was surprised to see how much better. The guy is a flat out stud.

Pretty pathetic for a team that has won 90+ games 5 of the last 6 seasons with a 102 and 103 win season in there Oakland has 400,000 people, we don't need a stadium that holds 65,000 people. The A's also wanted to get more advance sales so they could plan better, in the past, people knew they could walk up and get good seats, so that's what they did. The A's need a new baseball-only stadium. I was in Mount Davis for the 20th win in a row in 2002. That was one of the two best baseball games I've been at in terms of how great the fans were (and the other was a World Series game). Oakland fans just cannot be compared to Marlins fans. I was at that game too and yeah, that was an unbelievable game. IIRC it was a Wednesday and my dad and a couple of his friends were planning on going to that game anyway ($1 hot dogs) and it just so happened to be the 20th win game. I was sitting in the third deck on the third base side. A ton of people left early so we moved down the the first level in the seventh inning. And what a finish. The people that stayed were stood and cheered for a solid 10 minutes when the dropped down the "20" banner in CF. Unreal.

Bingo. I have the same exact feelings. See I never understood that at all. I mean, I go to U of I, but I just can't seem to take college sports seriously. I mean, all these people that have never even seen the University of Illinois rooting for my football or basketball team? What gives? I think pro is better than college in every sport. It's more for the students involvement than anything. And all the rituals that go along with college sports like, since it was discussed here recently, Penn State's white out. Or yesterday for the Iowa-OSU game they showed a wide view of the stadium and it was a huge sea of yellow. You don't get that in the pro game. In college you get small schools (like UC Davis) playing major conference schools (like Stanford) and when the small school actually pulls the upset, it's unbelievable how the players and students/fans react.

WOW. That is unreal. He has over 1100 yards in 5 games, with 7 games to go. If Wolfe can run for 150-200 yards against Iowa's defense in a couple of weeks, there's no doubt in my mind he has to at least be invited to New York. I agree especially considering he already tore up Ohio State. It would be one thing if he never played a game this year against even a decent major conference team. But he's already ran through arguably the best team in the nation and has a chance to do it again against a top 3 Big 10 team.

Ideally I want A's-Padres. I wouldn't mind Minnesota in place of the A's though. A series in Oakland provides the potential to go to a World Series game.
-
I vote that the Cubs, being gracious losers, should just volunteer to forfeit the game to help them in the fecal league standings.

College easily. College football >> NFL College basketball >>> NBA MLB >>> college baseball
-
Oh my goodness what a catch by Texas Tech to take the lead over A&M with 25 seconds left.

Buy low on Adam Dunn?
soccer10k replied to Mephistopheles's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
10.5M in 07 and a 13M club option (.5M buyout). -
Possibility? Brenly manager, Stone in the booth, Baker ESPN?
soccer10k replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Throw Steve Phillips on there for good measure. Or if we can get Dibble to come back... :D Oh god. I don't think I would watch baseball tonight ever again if Baker joined them. Really? I'd have have it on Tivo series record! I guess from an unintentional comedy standpoint it could be worth watching. -
Grossman and Warner. I wouldn't play a first year starting quarterback on the road against Baltimore's defense.
-
No, we are using statistical evidence to back up our argument, and mg420 is simply saying "no". There's a large difference there. of course every one knows that statistics are the only thing that really matter in baseball and there is no way to interpret them to your advantage. all hail the mighty numbers! Welcome, Joe Morgan!!
-
Wow, sarcasm? Name one instance where Clemens has exhibited anything below class-act standards, personality wise. throwing the broken bat at mike piazza as he was running to 1b. "I thought it was the ball" I've hated Clemens ever since. Same here. That was the most pathetic excuse of all time. I have to give Clemens the nod for that one.
-
And so ends the final Cubs game that I will watch this year.
-
Since the game would be in StL, I would be surprised if the Giants sent their full team if the game is played.
-
Don't you just love how Holliday didn't even hesitate going to third when he rounded second because he knew Pierre wasn't going to throw him out.
-
I don't think I've ever been happier to see Scott Eyre come out to pitch.
-
If Z comes out for the eighth my head might explode.
-
MLB Gamecast has him at 128 through 7.
