I didnt wanna feel left out

key word being 'usually'. And with Jackass Joe as manager, ya never know

The Japanese league is still pretty damn good baseball and they were never able to figure this guy out. I'm not too worried about it

Unfortunately i doubt it. Giambi should be back but even if he isnt he will still be voted in as "starter". And, i can just see Torre screwing Thomas over again. BTW, Konerko is making a decent case himself

ah, didnt know that. Now i know

Even if its close. Hell, i'd even advocate calling up Ruddy Yan once B-Ham's season ended for the SOLE reason as a possible pinch runner late in games. I mean why not? It doesnt hurt anything and gives you someone fast as hell for late inning situations.

I bought the games for the Cubs series and it was fine picture. Only 60 bucks for the remainder of the season, I'd say its probably worth it

Wilson had another good game today. I wouldnt be surprised if he came up in September to be given a look and if nothing else to be used as a pinch runner. (Hey, we're allowed 40 spots, a pinch runner or two down the stretch could be huge)

Congrats, BMac, this was more than deserved

i think he was in the Giants organization (AAA i think) last year but i cant find him this year

Valentin has actually been very good this year and is an integral part of our offense. To trade him for Ramon Ortiz at this point would be beyond dumb

Agreed

I dont think i'd allow KW to trade with Pittsburgh when it comes to major leaguers, lol

That's actually a good question. I hadnt thought about that. Well, we have important games coming up so I guess we'll see. I think this one could go either way, at least initially

ya but that's because Minnesota didnt use Ortiz enough. I know, sometimes it takes a while but more often than not when it takes that long nothing ends up developing. Plus, the idea of our cathers being Alomar/Davis/Burke is sickening

i wonder if Seattle will call up Reed then to get him some experience? I'm still disgusted with this. KW better get Garcia to an extension or this will become worse than the Ritchie trade. I can see Olvio and Reed being perennial future all-stars

ya but havent people talked about Davis' 'potential' for several years now???

yai feel bad for Olivo too. He was becoming one of my favorite players. I feel awful that he's gone but i wish him the best of luck in his career.

i absolutely hate this so much. No way Olivo should have been traded. Our catcher position now sucks and we have no one even remotely close in the minors. Reed is going to be a stud and we missed out big time on him. I can not believe we gave up both Reed and Olivo. I have not bashed Kenny much but this is horrible. Once again, he wayyyyy overspends. Way to go :fyou

this is a f***ing joke right?

:fthecubs

oops, i meant local for me, lol

nevermind, not sub 3, lol. But it was still decent. Better than Jackson at least

ya i was fairly surprised he didnt make the team out of ST just because if i recall correctly he had a pretty good ERA in Cleveland last year (sub 3 possibly?)
