  1. Cards walk off homer in bottom of 10th, beat Rockies 5-4. Ozuna with the blast. And VBs are cruising against the Dodgers in LA. That stretch outta the ASB is gonna kill the VBs.
  2. Junior Guerra is slowly becoming Junior Guerra.
  3. VBs really struggling out of the All-Star Break. That was supposed to happen, right?
  4. When does a good starter pitch next for the Cubs?
  5. Tuffy Rhodes? Gooden thinks so.
  6. Not until he starts throwing a knotted-up towel.
  7. Saw on MLB.com an article about the best player on each team acquired via trade. Here's what they have for the Rays: "Rays Chris Archer (acquired with Brandon Guyer, Robinson Chirinos, Hak-Ju Lee and Sam Fuld from the Chicago Cubs for Matt Garza, Fernando Perez and Zac Rosscup, January 2011) Garza would never pitch in a postseason game again; he'd leave the Cubs for the Rangers right before their postseason run would begin. " I remember Cubs-basher Steve Stone going on incessantly about this trade and how the key was Kak-Ju Lee. Sure, Archer was a prize, but yopu gotta give up talent to get talent. Stone was gushing about Lee and how the Cubs made a mistake letting him go. The following season, Lee was hitting pretty well, and Stoney would bring it up from time to time. Funny thing is, of all the players acquired by Tampa, Lee is the only guy Tampa got that didn't play in the Majors. The other four have had respectable careers.
  8. I missed this signing along the way, but the Chris Coghlan is leading off for Iowa.
  9. Zack Short breaks up the perfect game with 2 outs in the 7th. Single off of Cease.
  10. I definitely love all the talent on the Cubs roster/starting lineup that was culled from their minor league system. But it was also a ton of fun following the prospects at different levels, gushing over their stats, and dreaming what the future held. (of course, we all found out what the future held in 2016)
  11. Don’t go look at Eloy shredding AAA. It’s painful. Thank goodness Q pitched well last outing. He take a break from the DL to play a game? Neat. He’s going to have to hit like JD Martinez to carry any value. Big Jorge was mashing at all levels as well. But he could seem to stay healthy, and then his flaws were exposed in the Bigs. Next thing you know, he's a sub on a bad team (when he's not injured).
  12. I’d hope not. He’s still owed ~$50 million. Maybe that’s a scenario where the more the Cubs give up, the more KC eats his contract and vice versa. Or maybe they could take Chatsuck to even the money out a bit. Regarding J.A, Happ, in the Cubs do end up getting him, would our multi-positional player then become E.N. Happ?
  13. Up to 5 innings, 9 Ks and 62 pitches....perfect so far. And Matt Rose has a dinger.
  14. I thought it was gonna stop rolling before it got to the track.
  15. Hit and a HR and Reds are up 2-1. LOL! edit -it’s actually 2-2
  16. Talk to the Mods Two game threads at once, what are the odds.
  17. Are we absolutely positive it's not a doppelganger?
  18. After two outs, Butthead Norris gives up a solo shot in the bottom of the 9th to tie it at 1 all. For an encore, he then follows the HR with two singles, a BB and a game ending single. Cards Lose!
  19. Butt Norris just gave up a game-tying solo shot in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs. 1-1 tie in Cincy. And not the bags are loaded for a Dilson. And now the game is over. Walk off! Cards suck! Butt Norris sucks! Wonder if Hicks gets to yell at him.
  20. Drop - A Beltre (TEX) Add - J. Aguilar (MIL)
  21. Please explain. He sucks and I'm glad he had to watch that. I don't know who he is. What did he say/so? Cards announcer?
