  1. Hendry won't be fired.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Every shot of the crowd amazes me more and more. I have never seen Wrigley this empty before.
  5. And by bases clearing double, I meant strikeout.
  6. That and they have Konerko and Thome to occupy the 1B/DH spots.
  7. That Hellomoto ad with Z's picture (the one right behind home plate) on it is downright hilarious.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Zito's agent is Scott Boras. He's going to go to whatever team offers the most money.
  11. That's the kicker with the "get a good, but not great starter" idea, it's likely to be a marginal improvement at best. And it would be much more expensive.
  12. Jim Hendry is dancing in the halls of the Tribune building. This will be his marquee dumpster diving signing for 07. Hendry won't sign Dmitri Young to be a starter. He might sign him as a pinch hitter/bench player but that would hardly be considered a marquee signing.
  13. Football picks, eh? I'll give this ATS thing a shot. I usually do straight up but what the heck. Miami (+1) TAMPA BAY (-3) New Orleans (+3) CAROLINA (-5) Seattle (-6.5) Philadelphia (-5.5) TENNESSEE (-2.5) Cincinnati (+2.5) Denver (-4) NEW ENGLAND (-9) Dallas (+2.5) Chicago (-3.5) ARIZONA (-7.5) Indianapolis (-3.5) Minnesota (+4.5) San Diego (-3)
