    If you don't mind pre-paying for your room, you might get a better deal on hotels.com. I've seen the Days Inn a little cheaper on there.

    Today's paper says the Astros have a lead, though they no longer claim it's a commanding lead. This despite 80 paper votes for the Cubs that were turned in yesterday. I'm likely not able to do any more voting this morning due to scheduling, but voting ends at noon. If you haven't voted, one email is all I ask. Thanks guys. It's probably a hopeless cause, but let's give it one last try.

    He was gone before we knew him, but if you want to know more about Fast Freddie, the Baltimore Sun caught up with him. Link.

    8 blocks up clark, which is slightly more than 8 city blocks since it's diagonal, so probably a mile and a quarter. Nice, thanks! I stayed there last year. It was probably a 20 minute walk. is it really nice enough to charge $200 a nite? Not really.

    Voting ends at noon tomorrow, so I wanted to give this one last bump. If you haven't sent an email, please take 2-3 mins and send one. sports@thenewsstar.com Just write a simple note asking that the Cubs be chosen as the home team. Thanks!

    McCann is from Georgia and grew up a Braves fan. He's said he's always wanted to play for the Braves. I'm sure that played a lot in his decision as well.

    As it gets closer to opening day, my baseball fever keeps growing. And I just love this quote by Annie Savoy in Bull Durham.

    I know this is probably wrong of me, but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That listing of the alphabet needs to be placed on a banner to be held up during Cubs-Cardinals games.

    Auction was removed because it violated Ebay's policy. Link

    Dempster is a great guy. :lol:

    Thanks!

    Best case scenario is he takes another big step forward next Tuesday. Then I think he stays behind and pitches to the minor leaguers on April 1. It's possible that by then he's stretched out to 90 pitches and throwing 90-93 with ease. Then, I think you start him on 4 days rest April 6 in MIL. But that's not likely. So then I think you have him start Iowa's 2nd game, April 6 in Round Rock, then April 11 in Alabama. If all goes well, then maybe he can start April 16 vs SD. That sounds like a very reasonable course of action.

    This is a good deal for the Braves and not a bad deal for McCann. A team like the Braves is going to need some cost certainty down the road, and this helps. McCann gets some guaranteed money, so I'm sure that's a big plus on his end. I don't think this signals a trade of Saltamalaccia just yet. The Braves may be more willing to listen to deals for him now, but they could hang on to both a little while. McCann or Salty could still be shifted to another position, though the value for both is greater at catcher.

    This could be true. But I have heard from a good source that a large number of signed letters voting for the Cubs will be turned in this afternoon.

    I guess letting all three hitters he faced reach base yesterday was enough.
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Thank you very much!

    BA is great for the minors. Their work with the majors, not so much. Most projections I've seen have the Cubs, Cards, and Brewers sharing the top three spots with the rankings depending on whose projections you trust.

    There's a spy... $20 says it's Raisin. :lol: Ok, enough playing...everyone vote!

    Please keep the email votes coming. Phase II which should gain us 35-50 votes has begun. If you haven't voted, all I ask is one email vote along with an email asking for a friend to vote.

    Isn't Tony a recovering alcoholic? I thought I read somewhere that he had used his own experience to help Ecksersley turn his career around. Either way, this is not a trivial matter. Let's hope this distraction helps pave the way for a 60 win season for the Cardinals.
