    I didn't know the Giants could play two series at once. Will this be split squad?

    Z has to catch Webb before he can pull away from him.
  4. soccer10k
    HR Derby, here we come. Pujols goes deep at least twice.

    Just saw this in Cbssportsline.com: According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Mariners and Rangers are eyeing a possible trade with the Cubs to acquire infielder Todd Walker Of course, who knows how old it is. If the deal is done between the M's and Cleveland, what could we get from the Rangers? Jerry Hairston Jr.

    NSBB will explode and cease to exist if Hendry does nothing.

    First team to 10 runs wins...if the wind is blowing in. If it's blowing out, first to 20.
  8. soccer10k
    At least Prior showed improvement today.
  9. soccer10k
    Just trade him somewhere, let him play for a contender, and get him away from Dusty.
  10. soccer10k
    And after we trade Barrett, we can trade DLee, ARam and Z. Absolutely not. Keep Barrett.

    I like both bands but this isn't close; Led Zeppelin by far.
  12. soccer10k
    Because hes an Al Davis guy ;) by the way, i have to hate you somewhat, becasue of your raiderism, seeing as im bronco faithful, you know how it is. Fair enough.
  13. soccer10k
    but shouldnt that give even more credibility for Z? The fact that he has an 11-3 record alone should wow alot of voters. Brandon Webb is 11-3 also and his ERA is .76 lower than Z's and Webb's WHIP is lower as well (1.11 compared to 1.23). A team's record should not come into play when deciding the Cy Young. The award is handed out to the best pitcher in the league, not the best pitcher on the best team. Fact is, Webb has been a better so far this year.
  14. soccer10k
    I hope they place him gently. The Cubs will try to place Prior on the 15 day DL but they will drop him, he'll break his leg and will have to be placed on the 60 day DL.
  15. soccer10k
    Seconded.
  16. soccer10k
    I would like to see him end the year with 59 IP and a 7.17 ERA. But if he's going to pitch, I hope he gets hammered and wouldn't mind seeing a 10+ ERA.
  17. soccer10k
    Webb is clearly the leader right now with Carpenter likely in second. Z and Arroyo are tied for third in my book.
  18. soccer10k
    The only Cubs games I make a point of watching are games in which Z pitches. I'll watch other games if they happen to be on but I want to see Z take the mound every time out.
  19. soccer10k
    He'll be placed on the DL tomorrow.
  20. soccer10k
    Why oh why must Aaron Brooks be our quarterback this year? #-o

    It's a different type of love. Pedro Gomez does the daily reports on how Bonds is feeling, whether he is going to play or not (and if he isn't, the reason for it), and how he is dealing with all the steroid allegations as well as the potential indictments. Tim Kurkjian only does his Bonds spiel when Bonds hits a historic homerun. When it took Bonds almost two weeks to hit #714, I swear I saw the same Kurkjian piece every other day because they were anticipating him hitting it. The phrase I remember was "when he does finally pass the Babe..." which was changed to "now that he has caught the Babe..." after he hit 714 and changed to "now that he has passed the Babe..." after he hit 715.

    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.
  24. soccer10k
    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.
