Milkman delivers

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 09:12 AM) I agree with Richie Allen, I think if Kdub deals for a starter it will be a top tier pitcher. If he can't get something done without giving up anyone off of our 25 man (minus Willie or Ozuna), I would love to see him go after Casey Fossum from TB. This guy is relatively cheap (around $1M) and is pitching very well this season. He'd be a great stopgap while allowing the duke to rest. Fossum was the exact guy that came to mind last night when I was pining over the situation.

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:19 AM) Perhaps they're still pissed off about the Gamboa incident? But really, those announcers are a couple of jag bags. Do people actually have to have a journalism degree anymore to do any type of journalism? They need to research s*** before making ignorant blanketed statements. Can you blame them for being bitter folks, they do live in ugh... Missouri! As Grandpa Simpson once said "It'll be a cold day in hell when I consider Missouri a state!" Sorry, gotta correct you here. It's "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura!"

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) I thought Prior wasn't going to start until the end of June? The Cubs are obsessed with beating the White Sox, plain and simple. They are the biggest joke in baseball. They'll risk their stud ace's health to attempt to show us up.

Let's inch another game closer to 30 games over and that 50-win mark.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) And what are they gunna say if they do, I doubt major league baseball is gunna call out there own umpires. They already punished them somehow, if I'm not mistaken.

Won't the league be watching them to make sure they call the games fairly, especially after they punished them before?

The Cubs forcing a pitcher back quickly in time to face the White Sox? Yeah, they don't care about beating us at all. QUOTE(Fotop @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) It's really easy to take a s*** on a 21 yr old prospect flung into a team that expects perfection every night. Yeah, but try that with a hooker and you get punched in the face.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We didn't learn anything we didn't know already about McCarthy and Vizcaino, but we did see that Cotts is still for real and Hermanson is back to his old self. And a nice little out for Shingo. Offense was awesome.

People, his name is Shingo.

Stop with the arguing, everyone. It's getting old.

3 strikes from Shingo?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Jermaine is slow again.

Wow, our fans are starting to suck as much as Cub fans at the game as far as homers are concerned. Thomas pops out nowhere near homerun distance, and they all gasp like it's a no doubter.

DP ends the inning, s***ty Keith Foulke saves the game for Boston.

Jhonny Peralta doubles in a run, 10-9 with 1 out now. Keith Foulke is terrible.

s***ty Keith Foulke walks the leadoff man in the bottom of the 9th. Aaron Boone flies out to RF. 1 out.

CREDE IS THE GREATEST THIRD BASEMAN IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL.

Phew, a little lucky and we're up 10-8.

Crap, during the 4th inning I thought to myself that I'd call my girlfriend right after the top of the 5th if McCarthy got through it ok. Needless to say, I forgot, and that's gonna cost me. EDIT: Thought I'd lighten the mood for everyone else with my own misfortune.

Damon homers, 10-8.

We HAVE to get that run in.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) God I love Neal. Aquire another BP arm or call up BAJ and Jenks so we can start Neal. That's such a bad idea.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) I bet Viz will still be here. what will it take to get this guy to aaa? He'll probably have to die. I can only hope...

Holy s***, I f***ing hate Luis Vizcaino. And he deserves every boo he's getting right now. He's the pitcher that is garbage, at least McCarthy has promise.
