    The Pirates lost again. They must really want to hang on to last place. Any Pirates fans here that can confirm this for us (the wanting to hang on to last place part not the losing part)?

    Spain is dominating the possession 65-35. I doubt this game will end 1-0, whether that means Spain breaks through or whether Tunisia gets another one, I'm not sure. But I doubt we've seen the last of the scoring for the day.

    I don't think it becomes relative for a while. There are 11 other team that have longer World Series droughts than the Cards including 6 teams that have never won a World Series. Link via Wikipedia One drought that not many people know about is the Giants who haven't won a World Series since 1954 and have never won a World Series in San Francisco. I was talking to one of my friends that is a Giants fan a couple years ago and he brought out the 1908 card but 50 years is a long time. Like somebody else said, with 30 teams in MLB now it does become harder to win. There are currently 15 teams with droughts of 20 years or more and that will become 16 unless the Mets win the World Series this year.

    At least the Braves won a World Series though. I understand that it is only one and they should have won more, but they did win one.

    And Tunisia strike in the eighth minute and go up 1-0 on Spain. On a side note, Tommy Smyth in announcing this match.

    Ukraine goes up 4-0. I have to say, it's not very often that you see a team lose their first game in the World Cup 4-0 and then come out and win the next one 4-0. For that matter a three goal differential comeback is probably rare as well.

    My sources tell me 3 billion and two to nothing.

    And 29 major league managers breathe a sigh of relief that Rusch was not DFA'd for fear that their GM would be as stupid as Hendry to take a chance on Rusch. But 15 NL managers are disappointed because their teams won't have a chance to face Rusch for a while.

    Keep in mind they wouldn't even want DLee or Z considering their whole objective is getting rid of payroll and building their system with good, young affordable players. Otherwise they would just keep Cabrera for the remainder of the year unless they feel that they couldn't re sign him no matter how much they offer. I know. I was just throwing out there that anybody on the team is available to get Cabrera if needed such as a three way deal. As long as we don't give up WAY too much of course.

    Just get a die and put all of their names on it.

    Ukraine's second game is looking a bit different than their first game. Good shot but it hit the crossbar.

    It's still just one good outing for Guzman. I hope he continues to pitch like this but until I see him do it a couple more times I'm not jumping on the BandWGN.

    Why won't the Pirates just win a game and allow us to join them in last place?

    I won't know how much interest I've lost in the Cubs season until after the World Cup final on July 9. Even if the Cubs were in first place this year, my interest in the Cubs wouldn't be as high as normal right now solely because of the World Cup.

    Unbelievably disappointing performance from Prior today. I tuned in a couple minutes late and saw it was 1-0. I went in my room to get ready for work then came back out and saw it was 6-0 and was happy that I had to go to work.

    Sending Jered Weaver down is an unbelievably bad move in so many ways.
  18. soccer10k
    Playing for 2008 before 2007 even begins is completely unacceptable in my opinion. As many bad years as the Cubs have had, and with all the disappointment following the promise of 2003, writing off yet another year cannot be tolerated. The Cubs must somehow find a way to contend next year. We deserve much better than still more wait till next year's. I couldn't agree with you more. Numerous teams have made the worst-to-first jump before if the right moves are made. Please save me the "Hendry's an idiot and won't make the right moves" crap because I don't want to hear it. Teams can have a complete turnaroung. In 2002 the Cubs finished 67-95 and we all know how they did in 2003. Same goes for 1997 (68-94) followed by 1998.
  19. soccer10k
    Agreed. But, with Jim Hendry at the controls, we should all be very scared. I don't think we have to worry about Hendry trading Prior because he doesn't appear willing to trade the players he likes. Prior's 2003 is the only thing weighing on Hendry's mind.

    I would absolutely love it if the Cubs were somehow able to acquire Cabrera. I would be willing to give up anybody except DLee and Z.

    He strained his back bending over to grab a box of twinkies.
  22. soccer10k
    Of the two, I chose the White Alfonseca. But I've been calling him Gopher Ball Glendon for a long time.
  23. soccer10k
    Definately the beer.

    What is the order of tiebreakers? I thought that the first tie breaker was always head to head which would mean that if Italy and the Czech Republic tie, then the US could beat Ghana 583-0 and still not advance because the US lost to the Czechs? That was me that said the first tiebreaker was head-to-head, but it looks like I was wrong. there apparently is no head-to-head tiebreaker. I thought head to head was the first tiebreaker as well and I think that it should be. If two teams end up tied and Team A beat Team B, what better way is there to judge which team is better than head to head?

    We officially have a series now. This should be interesting to see if Dallas can regroup or if Miami can win one in Dallas. I think Game 6 is Miami's best shot. They have ALL the momentum right now and I don't think they want to play a Game 7. We'll have to wait and see.
