Len said it was the smallest Wrigley crowd since September 2002. -
Let the booing commence.

Is Chris Duffy related to Gary Bennet by any chance?

The 2006 Scouting Report, By The Fans, For The Fans
ToupeeOnFire replied to tangotiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I had a lot of fun rating Jacque Jones. -
Yep, I saw it on an HBO preview commercial. Sounds postively nauseating. I'll watch it anyway, but if Bryant Gumball is narrating this, I'm going to stick my head in the toilet.

There is no clear-cut #1, but Price has as good a shot as anyone else. Others who have been talked about highly and could possibly go #1: RHP Andrew Brackman, North Carolina State C Matt Wieters, Georgia Tech RHP Matt Harvey, HS (Connecticut) RHP Michael Main, HS (Florida) SS Justin Jackson, HS (North Carolina) While he's got a great arm, I'm all for drafting Matt Wieters as a position player.

Are we judging individual plays based on merit or the importance of individual plays in significant games? Mays' catch was outstanding, no doubt, especially given the fact that he made the running grab deep in center field of the Polo Grounds in game 1 of the World Series in a tie game (caught it around 450 feet); but the greatest catch ever? That play has been mythologized, and while I hesitate to call it routine, it's the kind of play that has been made before and since, and it would be made with some not-to-occasional frequency today (relatively speaking) if parks were nearly 475 deep in centerfield. It was a great play and Willie Mays was a great player, but as far as "the catch" is concerned, I am willing to bet he's made many more difficult plays in his career. The fact that his catch was caught on camera during the World Series is what makes it iconic. I've certainly seen better (my opinion obviously) in my time as a baseball fan, and now with the advent of ESPN and Sportscenter, everything is captured for posterity. As far as the list goes, as much as I hesitate to praise a Cardinal player, Ozzie Smith was the greatest defensive player I've ever seen. It is fitting he is number one.

Fausto Carmona of the Indians. Ambiorix Burgos, KC Derrick Turnbow deserves a place in this discussion. Cubs win. Oh well, we'll get 'em tomorrow.

Dempster: 7 losses, 7 blown saves Isringhausen: 8 losses, 10 blown saves Advantage: Izzy

Ha ha, Matt Capps. More like, Matt Crapps. Hiyooooo!
-
DLEE!

Fecal League action at it's finest!

The Chicago Cubs: killing Ron Santo slowly, one defensive miscue at a time.
-
Am I a prophet? Well, you're smarter than Dusty. Damning with faint praise, I know. :oops: Perhaps someone from Iowa could let Dusty know that Hill had reached the point at which he usually tires. Dusty doesn't pay attention to that stuff. Not his job, dude.
-
For those of you worried about our standing in the Fecal League, shame on you.

http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/gamecenter/live/MLB_20060906_PIT@CHC Thanks. Actually, I'm listening to the game, but I like to have Gameday on for complete situational awareness.
-
Gameday is still stuck on the bottom of the 6th, Aramis Ramirez ground ball double play. The minimum-wage Gameday operator must have had a stroke or something.
-
Don't sell Dusty short.
-
Root, root, root, root for the home team? Like the Cubs, the 7th inning stretch has hit rock bottom.
-
Are there enough fans in the bleachers to even hold up 11 'K' signs?
-
Oh boy, things are looking dire.
-
Like I said above, that's what Yahoo has too. They think Bay hit a HR in the 6th. WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? I'M SO LOST! Jason Bay just hit his 32nd home run in an alternate dimension.
-
89 pitches for Hill. I wouldn't be surprised to see Baker ride him for 3 more innings to get that elusive first complete game.
-
I'm considering it. :x Why not, they have alot of our rookies. :lol: They take our youngsters, we take their veterans. If we can find a way to get Miguel Cabrera, I could live with the arrangement.

I tuned in just to hear the last out. 4th no-hitter in Marlin history. I hate the Marlins.
