    With the exception of a really crappy May, Grabow's numbers this year look pretty solid, especially since May.

    In a related story, I wanted the Cubs to win, too!

    Sanchez has been sucking a whole lot lately.

    While I don't believe Steve Stone is "in love" with the Cubs, I believe most his his angst is towards Jim Hendry. And after reading his twitter comments, they mostly deal with moves Hendry did or didn't make. Stone used to be a really good analyst. But he's gotten way to "angry" and arrogant, and him teaming with the Hawkeroo is not good for Steve Stone. Like dipping pretzels into dog poo, separately one is decent. Together, it's really just dog poo!!

    Anyone notice how often Hawk complains about the umpires' strike zones (when its unfavorable for the Sox) and Stoney has felt compelled to "agree" with Hawk regularly. Stone's commentary is much like that of any athlete. He WAS fresh and compelling early on. But he peaked a while back and is on the downside of his "career". SCREW HIM!!!

    Fox (and Hoff for that matter) might be better suited for a team without playoff expectations where he would be able to get 20+ ABs each week and time to develop his skills in the field. But once Rammy gets back, Fox is gonna be on the bench. Gonna be hard for him to sustain any consistent bat when he's on ly getting 4-5ABs each week. I don't think he has a future with the Cubs, so if another team thinks they can develop him, trade while he's hitting!
  8. PackLandVA
    I suspect Fox's AVG will slowly (or quickly) creep down toward .250 or lower as he gets more ABs, much like has been happening with Hoff. I'd be all for trading him while he's still got some value. as far as being able to play multiple positions, big deal. I'm sure Hoff wouldn't butcher ever groundball hit his way if he were playing SS or 2B. But the reality is, he's an average (at best) LF or RF.

    So with all the glowing reports of Vitters.....do we REALLY want the Cubs to trade him for Peavy or anyone else??? Also, while it would've been great to have DeRosa right now, especially with Rammy out and Fontenot struggling, it seems like to Cubs got three pretty good prospects in return. Might end up being a good trade.
  10. PackLandVA
    Does Peavy keep the "No Trade Clause" through the remainder of the contract even if he is dealt this year to another team? Does he keep it for the remainder of the contract or once he waives it, it's gone for good? The reason I ask is because if he waives the NTC completely (for the remainder of the contract), this could be a great trade for the White Sox or any team that gets him. You're basically getting a great pitcher early in the season that could be traded AGAIN nearer to the deadline in July when teams get desperate, thus getting back a better package than you gave up. You could also trade him in the off season or next year, again, getting more than you gave up.
  11. PackLandVA
    Does his NTC stay with him through the remainder of the contract once he's traded to another team?
  12. PackLandVA
    NO. Chuck Norris is the cure for our economic crisis.
  13. PackLandVA
    If its essentially a done deal, and only formalities are in the way, cant he give Hendry the go ahead to get the deal done? If the Tribune doesn't want to take the risk, then no he can't. And the Tribune might not budge on it...they're taking on risk for very little possible benefit to them. I'd imagine since the Trib is currently in bankruptcy court, they're probably not allowed to take on the extra long term salary as debt.
  14. PackLandVA
    Isn't Macha's issue that he thinks Demp threw at Braun's head??? The fact that the ball hit the bat doesn't make the intent any less. In Macha's mind, Demp just missed him, but still threw at him.
  15. PackLandVA
    After hitting .109 in April, which is abysmal, he's .258 for May. Not great, but he's been getting on base more of late. That said, nothing wrong with Koyie getting a game or two a week at this point.....until Koyie starts sucking again.
  16. PackLandVA
    Suspending starting pitchers is a joke anyway. All it does is push back their starts a day or two. I think MLB should enact some sort of rule that forces a starter to miss a FULL turn in the rotation. Fine them the same amount you would normally fine them, but make the ball club actually skip them through the rotation.
  17. PackLandVA
    Maybe he's appealing because he doesn't mind the time off but doesn't want ot lose the $$$. Sounds logical to me.
  18. PackLandVA
    CC Sabbathia looks fat and out of shape, too.
  19. PackLandVA
    Damn I hate Larussa http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap;_ylt= ... 16&prov=ap what was that, tony? Cut LaRussa some slack. He had a few cold ones after the game and misspoke. It can happen! http://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_beer.gif

    Big deal if he gets a game or two suspension. He's gonna need days off throughout the season anyway. It's not like he's gonna make 155+ starts.
  22. PackLandVA
    It's almost like Theriot is still in the game...only he's not.
  23. PackLandVA
    He's a short white shortstop. Stealing is a solid decision. Don't criticize. ....specializing in "grittiness".
  24. PackLandVA
    So....does Lou send Miles......to get him in scoring position of course. #-o
  25. PackLandVA
