  1. MLB Network is just a PR machine. and still far superior to anything ESPN has to offer I don't find the analysis to be insightful, but live game look ins and highlights going 24 hours a days is something that interested me from day 1.
  2. Soriano interview = gold? WTF are you saying?
  3. Soriano, please don't swing at that slider in the dirt.
  4. Ok, I guess the "seller" part is wrong. They are looking at Rolen. From mlbtraderumors.com, which is on a constant refresh on my computer during these times.
  5. Could they consider this as a "sell" move? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/
  6. Lilly possibly to the DL now...Yipee! http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2009/07/cubs-lilly-headed-to-disabled-list.html
  7. hahahahsahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :rotfl: That is funny as all hell!
  8. While I am not terribly upset about the deal since I think the Cards paid to much, but it does give the Cards a huge boost on offense. I hope Holliday doesn't find the HR stroke for the rest of this year. Health and poor hitting has just been the downfall of this team the Cubs this year.

  10. Tribune Co. finalizes deal to sell Cubs, Wrigley http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/07/cubs-sales-deal-finalized.html
  11. I got to "Marlins Fans" and the stopped reading. Meh.
  12. Peoria still has a strong group of prospects down there. Some position prospects to watch (since I don't know who'll be starting)... IF Junior Lake IF Ryan Flaherty OF Kyler Burke UT Josh Harrison C Michael Brenly They also have a number of intriguing pitchers, such as Alberto Cabrera, Jeff Beliveau, Chris Archer, Justin Bristow, Chris Huseby, and Ryan Buchter. Thanks! I forgot about Flaherty & Brenly.
  13. Wow, Ozzie Guillen was definitely right. That's just embarrassing. He's so shocked that people actually agreed with him he felt the urge to revisit the idea and shove it down our throats again. Nice. 11,000 people is a very good consensus in regards to the millions upon millions of fans the Cubs have in regards to this topic. And even of those 11,000 only about 6,000 actually said they should. I think we should trust those 6,000 or so people and do what's best for Phil Ro... I mean The Cubs. of those 6000, I'd say about 5900 were White Sox fans Of those 5900, 4000 were from WSI's version of Vance.
  14. Peoria is scheduled to play the Kane County Cougars next week. Shoot. Anybody else I should be looking for when I go on July 1st or 2nd?
  15. AL only league, with Cubs instead of the Royals to make the Cubs fans happy I guess. I trade John Lester/Dustin Pedroia for Cliff Lee and Aram. My starting 2b will now be Ben Zobrist since he is eligible there. My starting 3b is Blalock/Mora with Giambi and Blalock sharing 1b duties on a platoon basis. I am lacking in the power, RBI and run category thanks to Sizemore's injury and Markakis slumping a bit lately. My pitching staff will consist of Lee Buehrle Garza Porcello Suanders Outman (DL) Frasor Fuentes Wang (going to drop soon) My lineup will be Pierzynski c Blalock 1b Zobrist 2b Bartlett ss Mora (Aram when he comes back) 3b Markakis of Sizemore of Suzuki of Nelson Cruz DH Bench: Choo Giambi ARam (Mora) I think I really solidified my offense with Aram, and my pitching staff is still very good substituting Lee for Lester. Anybody else going after Aram hoping for a second half burst?
  16. Stallworth suspended indefinitely...wonder if this will play into account for teams looking at Plax? http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AuMtwY4reLCscoT701Pet0o5nYcB?slug=ap-browns-stallworthsuspended&prov=ap&type=lgns
  17. From the scouting reports I have read so far on the two guys the Cubs drafted, I am not excited at all. In fact, this does not look like a good draft so far. Is there something I am missing with these two guys? Bart no like, bad medicine.
