    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.

    Euro 2008 qualifying on 9/2 (Sat) and 9/6 (Wed).

    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.

    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.

    If I remember correctly, Beck came into that game with absolutely nothing left in the tank. He had no velocity whatsoever. I believe he got Carter to pop out on an inside pitch that barely broke 70 mph. I remember watching that game with my dad partly because, being a Dodgers fan and avid Bonds-hater, he was actually pulling for the Cubs that day. But I remember Dead-Arm Beck coming in and his fastball was barely topping 80 but he got the job done anyway.

    Sanchez signles to right. Jones threw it over the backstop. Wow. I know, your wondering how it managed to go over the backstop on the 36th bounce just like I am. Perhaps it burrowed its way under the backstop? I am waiting for him to attempt a throw, spike the ball in the ground, and have the ball stick in the ground.

    The calls that go against you always seem to kill you. I knew that was going to happen. It's just comical at this point.

    I'm a quiet member of the bandwagon - I read a lot more than I post - but I've definitely been right there with you the whole way. I was nuts about this guy last year, and he was the part of our bullpen this year that I was most looking forward to. I've been a Wuertz backer as well since last year. Always liked the guy and I never understood why he was in AAA for so long.

    He did. He got shelled. Trade value down the toilet. When did Rusch had trade value this year?

    They will find a way to blow it. So much for that.

    Heck, make Chris Speier the interim coach and let the minor league coaches come up and see what they can do. At worst, you offer them their old jobs in the offseason. Can Speier see straight enough to fill out a lineup card? I still fail to see the downside. Imagine the confusion of the players trying to figure out if the scribbled out lineup card is saying Pagan or Novoa at 2B. Good point.

    Psh. Dusty's just plain wrong on this. A healthy Derrek Lee would have guaranteed the Cubs a World Series victory this year.
  24. soccer10k
    Bingo. I've been saying for a while that Dusty wouldn't get fired this year and that the best case scenario for Dusty-haters would be Hendry just letting Dusty go at the end of the year. But it's all just semantics.

    Just saw this on ESPN.com. This is going to absolutely kill the Sox with Manny being hurt right now as well. Hopefully he gets better. I think the Sox are pretty much dead anyway. Oh I completely agree. They were dead right when the got swept at Fenway by the Yankees. This is still the Red Sox trailing the Yankees and not the other way around. The Red Sox are done. No playoffs for Boston this year.
