    I say we get about 1000 signatures on a letter of reference for Ron to carry around with him. Anyone else game? :D Vance should be good for about 945 of 'em. :wave:

    I don't think Sosa will start for the Mets tomorrow. Rumor is they'll call someone up for the start.

    Just wanted to update the standings here. Both pitchers have achieved the minimum games started, so that's no longer an issue. ERA+ Marquis- 105 Looper- 87 Get ready for that Cubs avatar, Michael.

    Just win, bitches.

    This is the winning post. PM your address to claim your Ryan Theriot autographed card.

    That was one ugly inning.
  7. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Mets already into the Brewers pen. This could be good.
  8. vance_the_cubs_fan
    The Rangers would love to move him, so I can't see JD not putting him out there.
  9. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Come down to Mississippi!

    Hoping for a good start from Holliman.

    Here are some players with large contracts that could clear waivers... Troy Glaus (10.75 for 07; 12.75 for 08) Scott Rolen (12 for 07; 12 for 09; 12 for 10, 12 for 11) Ray Durham (7 fo 07; 7.5 for 08) Miguel Tejada (12 for 07; 13 for 08; 13 for 09) Pat Burrell (13 for 07; 13 for 08) Ken Griffey (12.5 for 07; 12.5 for 08; 4 million buyout on 16.5 09 option) Javier Vasquez (11.5 for 08; 11.5 for 09; 11.5 for 10) There also could be others without the big contracts. I'm fairly certain Sosa will clear. The Rangers probably let anyone claiming him have him. While all of the above players have value, teams would have to have room for them in order to absorb the contracts. I don't think the teams who have those players would actually trade all of them, but those are the type of contracts that can often get through the waiver wire.

    I'm going to be at the series in Houston Aug 6-8. I'm looking forward to seeing Kerry come into a game during that series.

    I think it's time for someone to just admit he's kidding.
  14. vance_the_cubs_fan
    In 9 of his last 10 starts, he hasn't gone past the sixth inning. Let's hope that trend continues.

    It would take a whole lot to get Santana...and whatever the price, it would be worth it.

    Yay, he gives up :!: Because there's nothing to respond to. You rarely answer any direct points and you pull "facts" out of thin air and refuse to budge on them even when shown to be mistaken or wrong. It's like debating with a brick wall. No that's like arguing with brinoch, who suggests that theriot would be caught more often if he attempted more often. And the only thing he uses to suggest his theory is that pitcher's would pay more attention. I've seen Riot run the bases and there are very frequent pick-off attempts and I don't think anyone would argue that. brinoch on the other hand still can't support his argument, so he simply quits. :D While we don't know whether Theriot would be caught more if he attempted more (though I believe that to be true), we also don't know the other side either...that he wouldn't be caught more. So, when evaluating Theriot, we just can't add mythical steals that haven't happened. If or when he proves he can steal at the level of Reyes, then we can credit it to him. Until then, when evaluating Theriot we have to take what we have. As it is, he's not anywhere near Reyes in terms of value.

    Dessens has given up 24 hits in 15 IP this season for the Brewers. He's also allowed 11 ER in those 15 IP. I hope he sees lots of time over the next couple of days.
  18. vance_the_cubs_fan
    With the bullpen spent, the Brewers will need 6 IP from Vargas tonight. Here's to him not making it out of the fifth.
  19. vance_the_cubs_fan
    As far as I can tell, August 15th would be ok with me.
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    There's been some speculation that Tejada could clear waivers given his injury and contract. Guys that often clear waivers are players with large contracts that not everyone can afford to absorb. Teams are a little reluctant to try to claim a player with a large contract in fear that they might get stuck with him...ala San Diego with Randy Myers a few years back.
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Damn. Jenkins homers to win 4-2. Still a game back. :x
  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Graffanino with a lead-off double. :x
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Milledge grounds out. Still tied. :x
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Castro grounds out 5-3. Two out.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Easley K's. Alou steals second. One out.
