    My dad has also. It's either Flubs or Flubbies. But he's not a writer for ESPN.com.

    I say NO to Zito because he will command too much money and IMO not worth it for a 3.5era pitcher. I would love to have Schmidt but only for a 2 year deal which is unlikely. I would like to see Lilly to be honest. Z, Hill, Lilly, Guzman, Prior/Mateo/Marmol/Marshall Yeah, it's not the best rotation but it might work out. zito has a career 3.54 era in the AMERICAN LEAGUE. his career era+ is 129, quite worthy of whatever contract he is offered. He's going to command about 15 million per year. No way in the world is he worth that. He's not an "elite" pitcher. Plus, he's not going to come to Chicago. It's not even worth discussing. you know this for a fact, or are you just speculating? he's 28, has 101 big league wins, a 129 era+ and not an "elite" pitcher? Yes. Zito will get 15 a year. Boston will need to spend to get themselves out of the Beckett trade fiasco, and the Yankees simply don't care what they spend as long as they get the player they want. It will be a massive bidding war. i don't think he'll get that much, but even if he does, he's worth it. I don't understand how Zito is worth even close to 15 million. The guy is having his best year in 3 years, and a big part of his value is being able to eat innings and not get hurt, yet he barely cracks the top 15 in VORP for SP. He'll be 29 early next season so he's already into his prime too. I don't see the justification for him being paid so much. Two words: Cy Young. I'm not saying it's right, but I think that award is a big factor in Zito's perceived value.

    Ditka. BTW, there is no 'k' in Danica.

    I wouldn't bother with this. If people really need to exchange tickets, there are numerous other ways to do so.

    Hendry won't be fired.

    Good call.

    Oh my lord. 4-4 and 2 HR for CHRIS DUFFY?!?! Len just said Duffy had 388 total plate appearances at the ML level with just 1 HR coming into today.

    I know what you mean, seems sad but not at all unjustified. The team sucks and the attendance reflects the level of interest at the present time. The team mailed in in when DLee went down. It took the fans a little while to realize it, but why would anyone support a group that has quit on it's fans? Why am I here? Oh I agree completely with you that it is justified for the fans to not show up. I was just pointing out that Wrigley is rarely this empty. If I had the chance to routinely attend games, I wouldn't be showing up now either.

    Every shot of the crowd amazes me more and more. I have never seen Wrigley this empty before.

    And by bases clearing double, I meant strikeout.
  15. soccer10k
    Bases clearing double for Doumit.
  16. soccer10k
    That and they have Konerko and Thome to occupy the 1B/DH spots.

    That Hellomoto ad with Z's picture (the one right behind home plate) on it is downright hilarious.
  18. soccer10k
    Futility at it's finest.
  19. soccer10k
    That's a pretty good bet.

    I was going to say Marmol hitting a HR is worse, but he was a position prospect for like 3 years before moving to the mound, and had a 648 OPS in the minors (albeit with only 1 HR). So yeah, allowing Bynum to reach base twice is rock bottom. Two teams this year have allowed him to reach 3 times in a game :D Which two? Split squad games between the Cubs don't count.
  21. soccer10k
    MARMOL!!
  22. soccer10k
    And RBI.

    Since returning from the injury/personal issues... 33 games, 292/331/504/835, 7 HR Sean Casey's numbers since coming to the Tigers... 32 games, 236/270/336/606, 2 HR There's something more going on here. Whether he's been disruptive in the clubhouse or has more off the field problems, there's no way that he couldn't have been at the very least a very good power bat off the bench - and the numbers suggest he should've been starting over Casey. From the looks of it, there had to be something else going on.

    Zito's agent is Scott Boras. He's going to go to whatever team offers the most money.
