Same with me. Did you see Jason Grilli there too? I saw CHC or something like that, and got an evil smile on my face... :fthecubs

Closing in on draft time, within a couple of minutes of San Diego's selection.

Anyone else listening to the feed? It's choppy as hell for me, anyone else?

As long as he doesn't fall to the Cubs... :fthecubs

Draft Order for Round 1: 1. Padres 2. Tigers 3. Mets 4. Devil Rays 5. Brewers 6. Indians 7. Reds 8. Orioles 9. Rockies 10. Rangers 11. Pirates 12. Angels 13. Expos 14. Royals 15. Diamondbacks 16.

Twins (Cubs for LaTroy Hawkins) 26. Athletics 27. Marlins 28. Dodgers (Yankees for Paul Quantrill) 29. Royals (Giants for Michael Tucker) 30. Rangers (Braves for John Thomson)

Actually they do have a first rounder, from the 'Stros for Andy Pettitte.

Ah - so you've began a countdown, Rex? Well - if they do send someone down, I hope it's Drandsfeldt. Without Burke on the team, Ozzie isn't confident pinch hitting for Olivo/Alomar. Actually, we wouldn't have gotten that late inning run (RBI single Gload) if it hadn't been for Burke.

If KW traded Reed for Benson....

Damn, Weaver wants 10.5 million? Screw that. BTW, what did Borchard get as a signing bonus?

Lower half of the first round?!?!?! I would cream myself if Jared Weaver fell to the Sox!

Is there a chance that any of these real good pitchers would drop to us? Any chance at all, kind of like in this years NFL Draft how Roethlisburger fell all the way to 12? Can we start an *Official* Draft thread? That would be just, so cool! I'm actually pretty pumped myself, this is the first draft I'll be listening live to and really following closely. WOOT!

Haha, funniest thing I've read all night.

You're really a dumbass, really, you are. Welcome to corpseball? What the hell is that. Yeah, laying down like four bunts today, that really was corpseball, don't you think? Yeah - I don't like Koch either so don't call me a Koch asskisser. You, however, are a :dips*** .

Hey - I want Shingo to close, so don't give me that... I just think a couple of people on this boards are being assholes about this - like why the hell did you bring JReedFan into it, honestly? Koch blew it ok, but now this is escalating into somehow being Ozzie's fault and Kenny Williams' fault? Ozzie showed faith in his pitcher, what was wrong with that? He got the job done and looked damn good Friday night, he was showing confidence. Billy blew it, and has now (unfortunately) shown that he didn't deserve Ozzie's faith.

Alright your an asshole for calling those guys out. Especially JReed - many of us wanted him to be given another shot. Where were these damn posts Friday night when he saved the game? OK, tonight he blew it, and he blows, and he sucks, and he shouldn't pitch again for the Sox. But to call out people about it, come on man, grow some balls. Sorry for cheering for guys to do good. The guy blows, but no need to call out others on this board. You are a :dips*** and here's a big :fyou .

Close the Game - (From f*** Her Gently, from Tenacious D) Awesome and funny song, too. This is a song for Billy Koch.... But Shingo, listen closely. You don't always have to blow the game, in fact sometimes that's not right, to do. Sometimes you have to close the game, and f***in get some strikeouts too. Sometimes you got to throw gas, sometimes you got to throw the change, Sometimes, you got to say 'hey: I'm gonna close this game, easily, I'm gonna get three outs, I'm gonna get you out, simply, I'm gonna kick your ass, completely! And then ya say 'Hey here comes the heater!' And then ya say 'Wait a minute, Shingo!' I think I'm gonna throw the frisbee, can you catch this ball Miguel, THAT'S f***ING TEAMWORK! What's your favorite pitch? That's cool with me it's not my favorite but I'll throw it for you, What's your favorite pitch? I'll make sure I throw it and I'll MAKE SURE I HIT MY SPOT! And then I'm gonna strike him out quite frankly. And then I'm gonna get three outs very simply. And then I'm gonna close this game real easily. BUT THEN - We're gonna win this gaaaaaaaa-aame! WIN - THIS - GAME! If you heard the song or know the group, most of their songs are pretty damn funny. Listen to the song and sing the lyrics to yourself, IMO, it's pretty funny.
