    Is it middle of the 6th? Who's pitching the 6th for the Cubs, and who pitched the 5th? I'm listening to the game and playing blocks with my 2 year old...don't ask me tough questions.

    Wow...just checking in and discover Sing has hit two homeruns. Maybe there's the right handed power bat for the bench I was looking for all offseason.

    Did the announcers make a steroid reference in regard to Lawton?
  13. vance_the_cubs_fan
    What? :shock: Any idea what the cause or what the reason for the surgery is?

    I agree. I've only been to San Antonio a couple of times, but it is a very nice city. The Riverwalk is beautiful. It's located far enough from the Astros and Rangers that I think it could develop it's own following.

    Count me in, then. BTW, I'm an LSU fan! Geaux Tigers!

    How much college basketball should I have watched to participate?
  17. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'll join when I get home. I miss over half my picks as well. I think I've watched 3 college basketball games all season.

    San Antonio is prepared to make a sales pitch to the Marlins in the upcoming days. Link San Antonio is ranked as the third fastest growing city (Link)behind Los Angeles and Phoenix and just ahead of Las Vegas, and it is listed as the eight largest city in the U.S. and the largest not to have a major league baseball team. On the other hand, it falls to 37th in Nielson's 2004 market size rankings (Linkhttp://). It falls behind potential other locations like Raleigh-Durham, Portland, and Nashville; but it's still ahead of Las Vegas (50) and Oklahoma City (45) which have been mentioned as suitors. San Antonio is growing as a city with corporations and has a strong military presence. With it's high population, a team could be successful there. San Antonio is also not far from Austin, so it could draw from there as well. San Antonio only other major sports team is the Spurs, who they have adequately supported. I think this could be a good move for the Marlins. The team could be re-aligned in the 4-team AL West and become a natural rival for the Rangers.

    I can't see how anyone isn't intimadated by Lidge. That fastball-slider combination is filthy.

    Ron, If the ownership situation isn't resolved, are there any indications the Cubs might end their affiliation with the team after this season?

    Link. I found this article on Williams and his prospects for the rotation in the Honolulu Star Bulletin. Williams seems to realize that he is not guaranteed a spot. Rothschild indicates that Williams spot in the rotation is up to Williams. Nice closing quote here:

    It appears the Cubs aren't the only team scouting Graffanino. Link. The Mets seem to have a good deal of interest and they would be a good fit. Other than Kazuo Matsui, they really don't have many options at second base.
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    This is a vera hard decision. I went with da Yanr. Cubsfanbeardsauce would send this place straight to hell.

    While Boone has been linked to steroids, through his late spike in production and a mention in Canseco's book, I think it is completely assinine to mention Giles like that. His career follows the normal curve that you would expect. He's never bulked up, as if that is a way to tell anyways, and he's never been linked to steroids directly or indirectly. I think the comment that he should be suspected is preposterous if not completely ignorant and stupid.

    Here's an article from Bruce on Prior.
