    Did Wendell Kim replace Bob Brenly in the broadcast booth? Because he's talking about sending every single runner no matter how fast/slow early in the game.

    2-0 Cubs on a double to left by Jacque and ARam scores all the way from first.
  3. soccer10k
    4 years at 8-10 mil a year for Lugo? No thanks. Good luck trying to get that type of a deal Julio.
  4. soccer10k
    Is that because he's has 2 more years on his contract but the other three (Walker, Maddux, Pierre) are FA's after the year.
  5. soccer10k
    I'd do Walker or Hill for Ensberg, thats it. and then I might not do it. Huff would be more palettible to me But then where do we put Ensberg? I wouldn't get rid of ARam to bring in Ensberg. Ensberg will be turning 31 in a month while ARam is just 28. ARam is much more likely to have another 3-4 very good years.

    He's been traded to the Cubs for Nevin, Perez, and Rusch.

    Len and Bob just said Pujols is a late scratch from the lineup.
  8. soccer10k
    Wow, not one but three people ahead of Truffle. Haven't seen that in a long time.

    I haven't been paying any attention to injury updates, but this can't bode well for either Sheffield or Matsui, and it's likely Sheffield. Matsui is signed through 2009 but Sheffield is a FA after this year. This move probably means that one of the two isn't coming back healthy any time soon and will likely signal the end of Sheffield in the Bronx since Abreu is signed for next year already.

    It's on ESPN.com as well.

    None, the Cubs play in the NL not the AL. Jokes aside, following the Cards, the Cubs play Arizona, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee. better? :D Yeah. If you define average as .500, then four (assuming you start with Monday's game against the D-Backs) and even that is iffy because Arizona currently has a record of 52-51. Milwaukee and Pittsburgh are both under .500 though.

    Oh man. Good times. Memories of earlier in the season when there still was hope. "That ball, deep into left field, way, way back. A GRAND SLAM!!!" Like you said, how I miss the good part of the year, no matter how short it was. :cry:
  14. soccer10k
    Cubs Win!!! I can't believe the Cubs have a chance to sweep the Cards AGAIN this year. Finish them off Z.
  15. soccer10k
    Definately improves the Yankee offense if it goes through.
  16. soccer10k
    I'm willing to bet that if he is about to be traded, that Maddux knows what's up. He's not stupid and, if this really was his last game in a Cubs uniform, I'm glad he pitched well and saluted the crowd on the way out.

    Because middle relievers are a crapshoot, and it doesn't make sense to give them long-term deals. I'd definitely look to deal Howry. This will be his second straight year with a HEAVY workload, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he struggled next year. Besides, with Wuertz, we have an effective replacement. Dusty laughs at you because all he sees in Wuertz is a good AAA pitcher. In all seriousness, I agree that I think Wuertz could be a solid reliever. I don't want to trade Eyre/Howry but would be inclined to if the right deal was there. I would deal Dempster in a heartbeat though. Not for anything, but I wouldn't hold out for anything too special in return for him.
  18. soccer10k
    Maddux to the Mets? Maybe. Maddux to the AL? Unlikely.
  19. soccer10k
    The title brings one word to mind: ugh. But as long as were talking potential trades: ARam, Jacque, Walker for ARod.
  20. soccer10k
    I think this is the first deal in which I would trade Z. Again, this is extremely hypothetical. But I'm not trading Z for just anybody.
  21. soccer10k
    I still think he'll be traded but if he doesn't get traded by the deadline, then I think your scenario will come true but only if Maddux wants to come back. If he doesn't want to pitch anymore he won't but if he does, I have no doubt that Hendry will resign him.
  22. soccer10k
    We can match that, but it wouldn't be worthwhile. I really like Tejada and think he could still help this team for the near future, but if Angelos doesn't want to accept Aybar and Santana for him, the kind of package he would accept likely would decimate almost any farm system. If Tejada was a FA, I wouldnt be too thrilled to sign him to a 3 yr 38M contact, let alone give up very quality ML talent to acquire him and his contract. PASS. While Tejada is on pace to put up career highs in AVG/OBP/OPS and a near career high in SLG, it wouldn't be worth it for the Cubs to get him considering what the Orioles would likely want in return. Any such deal is likely to hurt the Cubs in the future rather than help them.

    Through Saturday: Pierre: .283/.327/.382 Patterson: .286/.317/.422

    This doesn't bode well for the future of Metallica in this tourney. If they are barely beating The Police there is no way they take out a #1 seed. I'm voting for them all the way, but I don't think it's going to happen.

    Not as much as the Beatles or Led Zeppelin... I don't know what your thoughts are, I'm just putting it out there. You must be joking. If Cliff Burton-era Metallica can be called over-rated, than so can the Beatles and Zeppelin. I'll agree 90's and later Metallica is nothing special, but the first Metallica 3 records are as much masterpieces as any Zep or Beatles recordings. Uhh, sorry, but no. Nothing Metallica has ever done can compare to Revolver or Rubber Soul in the "masterpiece" category. For that matter, nothing they've done can compare to Sgt. Pepper, The White Album, Abbey Road... well if you need to be picky, I'd say that Master of Puppets is the best heavy metal record ever made. If you don't want to put it up with beatles stuff, fine, but it's definitely one of the best records ever made I'm on your side Derwood, but ...And Justice For All was absolutely unbelievable musically. 9 songs and 63 minutes of pure awesomeness. I understand the argument that they went too far with AJFA but I absolutely love that album. IMO opinion it's not significantly better than Master of Puppets and I will gladly listen to either any day, but I think AJFA is a bit better.
