    I'm pretty sure that was Barrett's fault too.

    The above post is awesome.

    Agreed. Thanks for being a voice of reason, Bruce.

    Go Cubs! Plz don't suck.

    Let's hope for no more setbacks with Mateo.

    Ok, thanks guys. The series runs tomorrow through Thursday. I'm not sure when I'm going, but I'm pretty sure it's not tomorrow.

    It looks as if I'll get to see the Biscuits in action sometime in the coming week. Other than Brignac and Longoria, who should I watch for?

    was one of thsoe games a saturday night game that wood also homered in? If so, that is my all time favorite cubs game that I was in attendance. #66 was pretty special too. and finally, the grand slam at coors in 2003. or at least I think it was 2003. That's the game.

    I don't think the discrepancy is that large, but it's closer to the truth than not.

    With Zambrano's resurgence, the Cubs should be able to open a bidding war for him. The Mets would get in. I suspect the Angels would too. I don't know if the Braves would, but they have some pieces I wouldn't mind having.

    If you hear something in your house tonight, it's NOT me stealing your ticket. since my wife and daugher were there with me...make that three tickets and certificate photos!

    If my deal, you mean a deal for Salty and two more Braves prospects, I agree.

    I figured he mixed six words in with twelve expletives...
  15. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Correct. Ugh. This is going to make my ears bleeed. I guess I can only hope Erstad isn't able to play.
  16. vance_the_cubs_fan
    He's a smart guy then. I hope he gets some starts in at Iowa and makes a strong finish in Chicago this year.
  17. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Bingo. Call the Braves. Offer Zambrano for Salty and Harrison and hope they'll do Salty + Jo Jo Reyes. Try to throw in Jones as well. Offer them a reliever, and maybe we can get Brandon Jones as well.

    Depends on if you believe the cubs would have offered arbi to Barrett. If you believe they would have (as I do), then it was REALLY bad as they would be giving up two high draft picks. If you believe that they wouldnt have offered him arbi then it was just a mildly bad trade. Bowen is hitting well this year but thats inflated by a ridiculously high (and unsustainable) BABIP. He has a decent ISoD, but strikes out 30% of the time so he'll always have a low average to give him a meh OBP. His defense was touted scouting wise as a prospect, but is debatable now. Don't pay attention to his SB% as the SD pitchers don't hold runners. Basically hes a pretty decent backup catcher. Hes probably not better than Soto. Burke is was a supplemental pick last year, so he was highly thought of, but as a position player (corner OF) out of highschool, hes ridiculously raw. Hes athletic, but has sucked horribly in his pro career. Hes got upside, but hes really really far away and has a good chance of flaming out. In my opinion, this trade hurts the team now and hurts the team in the future. nilo says it better that I could. I would have said we traded Barrett for a back-up catcher and a bag of crap.

    This also was one of my favorite Sammy memories. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/vance_the_cubs_fan/meandsammy.jpg

    :lol: Did they not watch anything Zambrano did all game long?
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    We should be able to get a good player for him in July now.
  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'd like to get some insurance.
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    One more strike, plz.
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Z needs one more out and we can hand it to Dempster in the ninth.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    It happened in Arizona. I think his license is fine in Arizona right? Can you have separate DL in two different states?
