QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) We gave up a young, inexpensive pitcher to get this. Trust me, don't look at Baseball America today

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Heh. Just seems like Wells is settling down. Prove me wrong offense! Wells has a reputation for settling down after being a terrible first inning pitcher. Gotta get to him next few innings before Marshall and Marmol.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) Hopefully this doesn't turn into one of those "tip your cap to " type games. Was Wood activated?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) Huge success, comparable to Jackson's 2008 first half? Didn't Javy have some really good years for Montreal? And like you said with Jackson, first half. He's just so damn inconsistent.

QUOTE (hawksox13 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) Edwin Jackson = the black Javier Vazquez. I personally will not be sad to see him go. Oh please, Javy's at least had huge success in baseball earlier in his career.

Sounds like Jackson is really struggling out there.

Can't keep allowing leadoff hitters to reach.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) how is that Reed Johnson sucks yet he plays well for the cubs? His swing is extremely short right now...very dangerous

How much did Beckham miss a homer by?

Yahoo says wind is blowing in. Is it blowing out to left?

Big first inning here for Edwin. Can't be walking a lot of guys on a day like this.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:30 PM) Those little things are why I have been fine with what we have gotten from him this year. But Ozzie needs to keep calling for it to get the most out of this 1 and 2 in the order

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) LoL, Hawk not fond of Quentin poppin up to right side. Nor should he be

Morel is such a great hit and run candidate

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:49 PM) Vegas has the total at 12.5. That would mean yes. We better hope Jackson has his good slider.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:04 PM) THANK YOU -- has everyone forgotten this?? I mean, it was arguably one of THE BEST runs by a pitching staff in post season in MLB HISTORY. Repeat: IN HISTORY. And that pitching staff is what pulled that gasping, sputtering, choking offense over the finish line when it was on the verge of an epic collapse...a collapse that I would've had a hard time getting over as a fan. PK really picked up the offense with some huge hits, but this is the same offense that won the opening game of the year, the first game after the ASB, and the last game of the year 1-0.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) That's if you think he means 25 guys hitting .250 and playing horrible defense. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he means work ethic. He's not talking about work ethic if it's the same crap he said last year. He truly loves players with Pierre's skill set. This is the same manager that said in his dream world, he would bat Pierre 3rd.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Ozzie just said he wished he had 25 Juan Pierres. How can anyone think this guy needs to stick around!?!? The Pierre thing has become way too personal with Ozzie.

Wind howling out to left?

Cubs lineup has scored more than the Sox this year, but of course they have the advantage of having their pitchers hit instead of Dunn

I've never seen any of the Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th or Halloween movies

Beauty and the Beast Little Mermaid

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) That Cub lineup is so awful. How do they ever win any games? Funny, I was actually thinking that's the best lineup they've had all year with Pena and Ramirez hitting so well right now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) i think he should have his appendix put back in Today is the 5 day anniversay of me losing my appendix....and this brought a smile to my face!

The 2005 offense was "good" because our relief pitching was insanely awesome. Easy to get away with scoring 3 runs in a game if your pitching gives up 2.
