    We better get a haul if we trade this guy.

    Shark looking (surprisingly) not awful.

    I can't watch the game this evening; how's Colvin looking? Did he get his RBI ball?

    Whereas I thought he kept signing 1 year contracts because he was only a free agent once before this, and that was following a season ended by a knee injury. You're correct (poor memory/research on my part), although I think my point remains unchanged. In recent years, MB has managed to have a pretty short shelf life with teams, whether due to injury, personality, or both. Whether the Cubs chose to suspend him or not seems of little importance at this point. MB's comments indicate that he hates playing in Chicago and is unhappy with the clubhouse/fans/coaching staff/management. The situation has become untenable and the Cubs aren't going to get much in trade.

    While the suspension of Bradley makes clear the Cubs' desire to move him, I maintain that this has been the case for some time and the Cubs would've wound up eating most of his salary anyway. The biggest roadblock to moving him is that he is in line to make more than any other team wanted to give him in the first place. Every team in the league knows that MB is a malcontent; that's why (prior to his most recent signing) he's received single-season contracts. Playing below expectations for a season hasn't helped his value. I don't see that Cubs "showed their hand" in suspending MB; his comments/actions precipitating the suspension made it abundantly clear he was not long for Chicago. The issue of the suspension (in terms of trade return) is close to moot in my opinion. The Cubs were never in line to reap a big return on a Bradley trade.

    I've got no gamefeed here... someone wanna let me know whats up?

    105 pitches through 8. Does Lou let Lilly go complete?

    Catch 22 for Milton. If he makes an out he may be booed, while if he plates the run, he'll have to stick around longer...

    I saw a bit of the SF-Reds game the other day (the 2-1 Howry-being-Howry walkoff game) and there were only a few thousand folks at the park. I don't think most Cincy fans are even paying attention at this stage.

    The Jim Rice story: How being outspoken and opinionated became conflated with being "oldschool", which was ultimately mistaken for greatness.

    *benches all Padres on his fantasy team* You have Padres on your fantasy team? 16 team NL only league?

    OK. I'm following on gameday. Will anyone explain how Pujols scored from first on a sac fly?

    So... the Dodgers look pretty flat tonite and are 4-6 over there last 10 games. I am fully confident that we will score 7+ runs against each of their rookie starters with control problems. Go Cubs!!

    If you guessed "the offense that is so pathetic that they can get shutout 4.1 innings by Chad Gaudin despite his issuing 5 walks" was that of the Oakland A's, you we're right!!
  17. MWV
    Yeah, OK. So I'm a 28 year old caucasian scientist who grew up in the rural midwest. Can anyone with a little more insight explain the "leaving the stickers on your ballcap" look to me? Again, I sound like I'm about 120 years old.
  18. MWV
    I'm listening in (no TV) and I'm curious, does Latos wear a flat billed cap as he does in his MLB file photo? That style among young players is really unnerving to me... Note: I realize this post makes me sound as though I am 120 years old.

    Cubs are awesome again!
  20. MWV
    Koyie Hill? Yeah, I don't really even feel like praising that effort.

    Jeff Baker y'all, to the beat y'all.

    Breaking Down

    MWV replied to Rob's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    When you realize the years that Soto and Fukudome should be having were it not for them hitting the ball right at defenders, you very well may. Its funny, before I looked at this thread I was actually rather pleased with Fukudome's production for the season. These revalations are at once encouraging and frustrating.

    I expected this thread to be full of sobbing.

    In my opinion, this has Mets written all over it.
