    That's pretty good, but this was posted a couple of weeks ago.

    The radio broadcasts make it sound as if it were more than an accident. Even the home announcer was condemning it. It'll be interesting to see what the outcome of the investigation is.

    I'm probably alone on this, but I wouldn't trade Wuertz. I think his early performance this year was an aberation, and that he's a future closer in the making. Maybe I'm just a homer though...

    I don't know...I think the upgrade Hinske is likely to provide our offense over the next two months will be outweighed by the benefit of having another stud reliever in the pen over the last 3 months of the season after DLee comes back. Hinske will only really help until DLee comes back, while Williamson will impact the club all year. Plus, Hinske makes Aramis look like a gold glover, not sure I want him in the field with the rest of our IF anyways.

    Neither one of them impress me as a player who would do well as a Cub - certainly not to justify the expense. But if Hendry had to spend too much money on a FORMER Marlin, I wish he had opened the checkbook wide for Luis Castillo. I don't think the Cubs would have needed Pierre in that case (if they do now), and for the amount Hendry overpaid for Pierre and that puzzling JJ signing, getting Castillo instead would have been well worth the extra dough. The biggest problem would be how to kick Neifury to the curb - $2 mil for 2 years was one heck of an insurance policy for a Cub middle IF. JMO. I know, no way in H-E-double hockey stix the Cubs are able to trade for him... Actually, that's one deal I might consider giving the Twinkies a second shot at Prior for. You'd trade Prior for Castillo? That'd be insane...Castillo isn't worth anymore than what we paid for Pierre.

    They wouldn't come for nothing but prospects. They would require major league talent who is cheap. I'm not even sure the Cubs could make the trade with them unless they did something like ship Zambrano along with 20M + prospects. Thats what they got for Beckett and Pierre. And Willis and Cabrera are worth far more than them. It's hard to guage what it would take to get them. When they put them up, there will be plenty of offers from many teams, the best offer will win, obviously. But how many teams are either capable of giving them what they want without crippling their farm system, or are willing to cripple their system to give them what they want? I can't see both of them going to the same team, it's just not going to happen. On a side note, I don't think I'd trade for Cabrera. That guy's gotten fat over the last year or so. If he's not taking care of himself, like Griffey didn't when he was that age, well, you see where I'm going. I fear he won't be healthy enough in a few years to justify the cost. Willis, on the other hand...if we can't trade for him, we need to encourage his best friend JP to keep in tough with him for when he becomes FA eligible :)

    I second that. I'd also give them Boise. Just promote the good players to Daytona first :D
  8. Jehrico
    That was pretty much my reaction...I've seen umps get spit on, shoved or pushed a little, even seen a few pitches taken off of the face mask I thought were intentional. Never seen anything close to a bat getting tossed at an ump though.

    http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/9399357 Got ejected for arguing a strike 3 call, and subsequently threw his bat and hit the umpire in the chest...that's gonna cost him a few games or so...

    As bad as Steve Phillips is, and I can't stand him, he's a step up from Dayn Perry. The same Steve Phillips that thinks Cliff Lee is better than Johan Santana? :? Yes. IMHO, that Steve Phillips is more tolerable than Dayn Perry. Dayn Perry rates below Paul Sullivan from the Trib in my book.

    I don't think I've ever seen anyone that far ahead of the organ or the crowd when singing. They were almost a full stanza ahead of the music! Jeff Gordon? Mike Ditka? Both of those two were bad, but I don't recall them being that far ahead of everyone else

    Ding ding ding to the winner for the closest projection!

    I don't think anyone's being awfully defensive. No one has argued that his article is wrong. The criticism is based on two things: one, this article was written for retards, and two, his past writings. He's always been a biased hack, foxsports should be able to do with him. he's the one who's biased, but you're proclaiming his article to be written for retards? Did you need Dayn Perry to tell you that Maddux was unlikely to keep up his 0.99 ERA? Or tht Shelton was unlikely to maintain his early 100 homer pace? Yes, the artcle was written for retards.
  16. Jehrico
    I think Hairston's at bat was the single worst plat appearance in major league history that resulted in two runs scoring. Why was he swinging at the first pitch after teh guy walked teh bases loaded? Why was he trying to hit a homer?
  17. Jehrico
    Will any of the strike 1 or strike 2 pitches be fouled off at least? Yeah, the first two, until he gets in his groove :D

    Yeah, but that was against AAA competition. He's got AA competition this time. :)
  20. Jehrico
    Considering the competition, I'm going to project a little higher on the Ks.. 6IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 2 BBs, 8Ks
  21. Jehrico
    Not Wood? When Wood came up, he was 20. I wasn't excited to see what I felt at the time was rushing him to the bigs prematurely.
  22. Jehrico
    The only other Cubs rook I was as excited to see debut was Prior. Can't think of anyone else that prompted as much excitement before his first start.
  23. Jehrico
    I'd be shocked if JP threw anyone out. The pitcher would have to go about halfway to the plate for JP to even get it back to him. That would make for a veeeerrrryyyy slow game.
  24. Jehrico
    I don't necessarily have a problem with this article per se, but Perry's provided plenty of other write ups that have convinced me he's the worst baseball writer in the business. I agree that he's a consummate idiot. As how it relates to this list he wrote, it doesn't take an idiot to surmize that Maddux and Shelton are good bets to not keep up the pace that they set over the first two weeks of the season. If I have any problems with that article specifically, it would be that it's an article that didn't need to be written. It's so obvious and stupid, he wasted everyones time that bothered to read it.

    I'm taking a couple of vacation days off from work, tomorrow being the first.
