    Sit down Spiezio. Go cry on Tony's shoulder.

    The Cubs should turn off the hot water in the visitor's showers for the rest of the weekend.

    I hate you Tony LaRussa.

    Nice pitching Scotty.

    Wasn't it the first series against the Cardinals in the beginning of the year with Barrett's heroics that Pujols was 1 for the series? IIRC, Miller and Morgan made a big deal about Pujols being hitless in the first two games of the series.

    Thank you Pedro.

    That always seems to happen to me as well. I'll rip a guy and say he's a horrible player and then he comes through immediately following my statement.

    Since I hate Bonds and the Giants, the A's are my "hometown" team. They let their good players go and still manage to contend every year. And I started this thread because of the Rangers and Angels threads.

    Maybe I'm dumb (OK, I am dumb!) but how do you build a temporary stadium???? I mean, is it inflatable, or made out of balsa wood or what???? Erecter sets Don't forget about lincoln Logs and legos

    Did the Cards RF fall down?

    Unless you stop to remember that Ronny has a whopping 422 major league at bats to Neifi's 4955. Neifi has been proving for over a decade now how horrible of an offensive player he is. Judging by the last 2-3 years, Ronny is still improving. Furthermore, stories of Neifi's defense are greatly exaggerated. I really don't want to hijack this thread, but did anyone hear Joe Morgan last night say that Neifi Perez was once one of the best shortstops in baseball? The cubs/cards game was on 3 stations last night but I couldn't turn off Berman and Morgan. They are so bad at what they do that I'm just drawn to them. It's very entertaining. I heard it as well. Morgan said he was one of the best shortstops in the NL in 1999/2000 when he was with Colorado and that what killed his career was going to Kansas City.

    Wow, the Cubs are winning. That's pleasantly surprising. I think I'll watch the rest of this one.

    I sure hope so. The "New Song": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieHXwXhOZCQ&mode=related&search=new%20metallica%20song Definately a step in the right direction. I like it. Not as good as the old stuff, but better than recent efforts.

    I agree with sulley - I think people got the wrong idea about Abreu after he mashed in the HR derby last year. He's never hit more than 31 HR's for a season (2001). And he hit only 20 HR's in both 2002 and 2003 -- despite playing in all but five games over those two seasons. But the guy hits doubles like there's no tomorrow. Please, Mr Hendry, figure out a way to trade for him before the Cardinals do. (I get a kick out of the fact that his middle name is Kelly: Bob Kelly Abreu.) just because he didn't hit as many HRs earlier in his career as many may think doesn't mean his power isn't rapidly declining. he was a 25-30 HR guy, that is true. but he hit only 6 post all-star game last year and only 8 through 2/3 of the season this year. yes, he's always been a doubles machine, but he's on pace to hit about 25 percent fewer doubles this year than his career average. all while playing his home games in one of the most homer friendly parks in baseball. I mean what is so hard to understand here? career 507 99 549 00 554 01 543 02 521 03 468 04 544 (moved to Citizens Bank from the Vet) 05 474 (526 first half, 411 second half) 06 438 the only argument that his power isn't rapidly declining is that it is steadily declining. You hit it right on the head.

    I sure hope so.

    Good deal by the Brewers to get something for Carlos Lee. Not sure why the Rangers wanted more offense though.

    Since I had to work during the Cubs game I figured I would watch the shortened replay of the Cubs game on ESPN at midnight. During the telecast Scott Weiss was the guy designated to give the "we know move forward in the game" notices. Well, numerous times he said this: "The Cubs come into the game with 39 losses on the season. This is the first time in [a number of years] the Cubs have had this few losses after the first 100 games of the season. I don't remember the exact number Weiss stated (39 years rings a bell) but it was in the thirties. Also, he did this at least two times. I was flipping back and fourth between a couple channels but I caught this statement twice. It would be unbelievable if the Cubs only had 39 losses right now. For one, not only would they be in first place in the NL Central, but they would have the best record in the league. Major screwup by ESPN and I found it funny.

    Bad: Dusty is going to be the Cubs manager the rest of the year. Good: No extension will be offered to Dusty for the rest of the year.

    so what you are saying is that you haven't gathered all the evidence possible, and you haven't gathered as much as I have gathered, but you know for sure. you're so openminded about it. it's so obvious you have considered my point of view. now go over to a wall, put your right shoulder against it, imagine a ball is flying to the otherside of the wall, and see if you would be able to reach it. I admire your attempt to be a stand up guy and not make excuses. doesn't change this one simple fact...physically impossible. Oh for crying out loud, have you ever once stopped to consider that you may not be right all of the damn time? That was not an obvious fan interference call. I've seen the replay from different angles dozens of times, and it looks pretty clear to me that if nobody touched it, the ball would have hit right on top of the wall. Not in the stands, not on the field. Must everything be a pissing match? Thanks for the defense Pedro.

    You can hear it on SportsCenter. It is a very annoying call. So then why do you use it?
  24. soccer10k
    Thanks. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure.
