    You mean Tim "I love Barry Bonds" Kurkjian. Every time Bonds is about to hit a historic homerun or has hit one, Kurkjian has a piece on SportsCenter and Baseball Tonight praising Bonds. It's sickening. When Bonds hit #715 SportsCenter used up 20 minutes of airtime on Bonds out of the hour show which included 10 minutes of Bonds praising by Kurkjian (part the piece and part him actually talking that day).

    Not to mention our savior.

    Unless you are going to New York tomorrow (which is unlikely considering the game is at 12:10 Eastern Time), you won't be seeing Prior this weekend. According to Cubs.com Hill pitches Thursday, TBA (maybe Marmol) on Friday, Maddux on Saturday, and Z on Sunday.

    Ever since Detroit started off hot and the White Sox had firm control of the Wild Card, I have maintained that both the Red Sox and Yankees would make the playoffs this year. The part of my prediction that is looking like it will end up incorrect is that I thought Detroit would slip and miss the playoffs while the White Sox win the AL Central. But I do see two teams from the AL East getting in, or at least the Yankees. The Yankees are like the Braves, they've made the playoffs/won their division so many years in a row that I'm not going to count them out.

    More like an A's fan moving to LA. Yes. An A's fan 10 miles away in San Fran? Not a big deal; I have friends from SF who are A's fans and friends from the East Bay who are Giants fans. Obviously there are going to be people that like both the A's and the Giants just like there are people who like both Chicago teams and both New York teams. But I know way more A's or Giants fans that don't really like the other team or just downright hate the other team. I know way more A's fans that would pull for the Dodgers over the Giants than the other way around. Oh yeah, my friends like one of the Bay area teams but don't like the other. My point is that the two cities/teams are too close for there to be a similar comparison as a KCer moving to St Louis or an Oaklander moving to LA. Ah, ok. You were addressing the location part of it. I agree with this assessment.

    Consider yourself lucky, the game starts at 9 AM out here.

    Fine with me especially if that means we trade Dempster for some prospects.

    CUBS WIN!! And take the series against the Mets.
  9. soccer10k
    Come on Bobby. End this thing.

    I don't think Z has it tonight...which is why I'm not watching anymore.

    The A's won 20 straight in 2002. Scott Hatteberg hit a walk off HR in the bottom of the ninth to win the 20th game. I was there and it was unbelievable. I believe that is the game that is detailed in "Moneyball". That it was.

    Z has as many home runs in 44 AB's this year as Ronny and Slappy do combined in 750 AB's.
  13. soccer10k
    I'm not going to lie, I laughed at this.
  14. soccer10k
    Yeah, he has definitely played up to that contract. Would you rather have him or Slappy in center right now? His line this year is .276/.380/.607/.987 and is on pace for 48 HR and 137 RBI. I would say he is earning his pay.

    It's a good thing we tried to get Beltran after the 2004 season.
  17. soccer10k
    Agreed. I will be disappointed if Maddux isn't traded. Not that I don't like the guy, because I do, but he isn't part of the plans for next year and we should get what we can for him.
  18. soccer10k
    Way to increase the trade value Phil.
  19. soccer10k
    How bad is Cedeno that he actually has to hit behind Blanco? They should actually bat Zambrano seventh. With Glavine pitching we might as well put Z sixth ahead of Jones.

    Could it be that he just didn't want to discuss Bonds and steroids, in response to the question about Bonds? Nope, it must be cause he's hiding something. That's why he didn't comment on Barry Bonds. Yep. Agreed. Or maybe he didn't want to talk about Bonds because the point of the interview was to discuss Sosa being left off the Hometown Heroes list and not Bonds. Interesting theory although he had no problem offering an opinion on McGwire's HOF chances even though that wasn't the "point of the interview." Good point. The only thing I can think of is McGwire is Sosa's friend and Bonds isn't.

    Harold Reynolds was actually tolerable on Baseball Tonight. Can we pay a bunch of female ESPN employees to accuse Joe Morgan of sexual harassment so he can be fired as well? Is this at all possible?

    They are on pace for 99 losses this year. I would like to see them hit 100 losses for the year.

    How hard do you think it was for Walker to not call Baker an idiot in one of those comments? Although he is basically implying it with some of his comments.
