    I've been saying this for a couple months now and will continue to say it. Dusty will not be fired at any point this year. His will simply not be offered a new contract and the team will "go in another direction."

    I think he will develop some more power and I think he will hit 20 HR next year. ETA 'more'.

    No he said it will be interesting to see if they call him up. Well, that's what happens when you are only half listening to the game. It sounded like Len thought Pie would be called up at some point in September to get some experience. I would like to see Pie get called up just to see what he can do.

    That's not entirely fair at all and you know it. Dempster wasn't a closer his whole career. but he's been a pitcher his whole career. and not a very good one. i don't know why people expect some miraculous turnaround out of a guy becaues he's now pitching one inning instead of five. it's still the same pitcher. http://espn.go.com/i/magazine/new/metro_eric_gagne.jpg Obviously I realize that Gagne is an outlier but look at his career stats. He was average at best as a starter but became one of the best closers in the game. Not everybody is going to be Eric Gagne but it isn't out of the realm of possibility for a mediocre starter to become a solid reliever/closer.

    Len just said that Felix Pie will be called up.

    I don't know what the future plans are for this movie but if/when it comes out on DVD, somebody post the info on this site because I want to see this movie.

    Alright Ronny. Nice hit.

    The Red Sox have had a Cub-like couple of weeks with the health of their players. Ortiz has an irregular heart-beat, Lester could have a serious illness, Ramirez with a bum knee, Pena with a bad wrist... Don't forget about losing Varitek a few weeks ago as well.

    That's what I'll be doing as well.

    Yeah, Beck was horrible in 2000, 2001, and 2003.

    I'll taking having just Bynum over having both Neifi and Bynum anyday. I wish would get rid of both players but that's just wishful thinking.

    I think it's the 5 yrs part of the deal that's the problem. A deal of 3/44 (comparable in average $/yr) wouldn't seem nearly as bad. If Houston would have signed him for four years and included a team option for the fifth year, that would have been better IMO.

    HBP on his 1st pitch seen Leave it up to the WHite Sox to do that. Typical Guillen move. Not surprising in the least.
  18. soccer10k
    I saw the word 'beer' and picked that option.

    For which school, Davis?

    Haha. Boise State absolutely slaughtered Sacramento State 45-0. Sac St only had 3 first downs and 82 total yards.

    Wasn't the guy that was supposed to be Notre Dame's #1 receiver last year injured for the whole year and that's the reason Samardzija was the starter? If so, who knows what would have happened last year with Samardzija at WR if the guy wasn't hurt. McKnight got hurt during the Michigan game. As for as being number one, I think it was supposed to be Stovall anyway, not McKnight (could be wrong). Either way Samardzija would have been the #3 receiver, but I think he made a pretty good case for a move up during the Pitt game, when all 3 receivers were playing. Ok. I knew Samardzija was the #3 WR coming into the season but didn't know if Stovall was #1 or #2. My point was just that Samardzija wouldn't have been as good as they were had McKnight not gotten injured. He would have still been a solid WR and probably would have still had a couple big games though.

    By my count, we've suffered 8 walk off losses this year, including 4 of our last 5 games. Hilarious.

    Really Carrie? The guy has had no injuries in his athletic career, then gets an arm injury in his second big-league start with the Cubs and you don't think anyone should be blamed? I'm not saying that it is Rothchild's fault but you have to at least consider the possibility that Cubs coaching staff isn't doing something correctly with these pitchers.
