Baker and the Cubs' system just KILL the arms of their starters.

Paulie DOES run like he's been shot.

Maybe they should do a "Valentin" and have him just bat left handed the rest of the season. They DO need another lefty in the batting lineup.

Borchard looks more comfortable batting from the left side than he does from the right. If it weren't for some nice plays by Kotsay in center, he might have 3 hits today instead of one. Uribe is looking mighty brutal, and so is Crede unfortunately.

Yeah, there was a stat on FOX that said Freddy has a better ERA after 75 pitches than before. He will probably pitch 7 today unless he unravels in the next few innngs.

I don't think Freddy throws the ball over the plate enough. He relies too much on people swinging at his pitches that fall out of the strike zone. Oakland will probably sit there and make him pitch strikes for the rest of the game.

4 words that sound kinda scary. Eddie Guardado to Cleveland

Colangelo can take Randy Johnson and his contract and shove them up his ass.

He's not going to b**** that he isn't playing the outfield?

If he can keep his attitude to himself, he would be a decent pick up.

Honestly, Garland and Rowand are FINALLY getting to a point in their careers where they are starting to contribute consistantly. However, Garland has pulled a "Judy" quite a few times this year and Rowand may be playing above his normal level. These guys may be at the point this year where they are at their most tradeable. If RJ is staying at least one more year in Chicago contract-wise, you can't tell me that Anderson or a Free Agent couldn't equal Rowand's numbers and that Rauch or Diaz couldn't pitch as inconsistantly as Garland. I say make hay while the sun shines. Rowand and Garland may never be as good as they have been this year, again.

His "agent" probably told him to plead guilty.

154 games is a bad idea too. Owners don't want to lose the cash. Most likely, the owners will agree to the longer playoff format with more teams if the players agree to a more compact schedule with less days off. Not happening.

4 playoff teams is plenty. We don't need a November World Series.

Why would he veto SF? Did they just want him off the bench?

And the "winner"... JAY MOHR! .....NO WAIT! It's Chris Connolly by a NOSE!

I had a feeling that it was gonna be a walk-a-thon today. :headshake

Giant hat, little head. Introducing "Special Ed"

Some of Harrison's "Eastern music" songs are just plain ugh. Sitar's need to stay out of rock and roll.

It's just an opinion poll.. nothing extremely serious.. Yeah, I suppose HATE is a very strong word. I probably should of used "strongly dislike" but this is a sports board and HATE is a sports feeling that is to be more competitvely used in the fun of sports than for it's original harsh meaning. Sorry to offend Steff.

Koch was on there because I wanted to gauge the leftover feelings from when he was a "closer" here. Santo was on there because he epitomizes the Cub fan. He is a homer that loses all professional decorum and impartiality when he does games on the radio. Besides, I wanted to have 10 spots. Pierzynski would have been #11 and Derek Jeter would have been #12.

Any thoughts? I know it is a tough choice.

Sweeney just looked awesome in ST. I'd hate to have the Sox trade him.

Seven Dollar Ballpark Frank Made From The Finest Hog Anuses SAN DIEGO--Safeco Park vendors defended their decision to charge seven dollars for a hot dog yesterday, claiming that the franks were made from the “finest hog anuses” money can buy. “You pay more because we use the best ingredients,” said Michael Wilson, president of AMG Foods, which handles the vending at San Diego’s new ballpark. “The hog anuses you are eating come from the finest hogs in the land. The cow tongues, intestinal tracts, and various other meat byproducts are absolutely top-of-the line. Seven dollars is the absolute minimum we can charge, believe me.” Wilson also defended his high-priced bottled water, claiming that it makes all other water “taste like steaming dogs***.”
