Time for the bad one.

yay, go Brian.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 08:12 PM) Any trade value Anderson had is long gone... sad really... LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 08:08 PM) Who did they face tonight? It wasn't Cabrera I don't think. Bruce Chen I believe.

OMG OMG OMG, did you see that?? I didn't.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:59 PM) Yes...I have such a level of hatred for him. If I offend anyone....well, I'm not really sorry. LOL, you're not offending me and that's all that matters.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) Gameday says Aaron Boone left because of an injury to his hand/wrist. Oh fantastic, that probably means Andy Marte.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) Ron Santo has just a good of a chance as stealing as these guys do. You love your Ron Santo jokes.

CMON DOUBLE STEAL.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) He's one guy that seems to give up a run against us everytime he goes out. Except is first ever outing against us where he was just narsty. Anyways, this team is getting real close to being locked in. Even though we've been winning the last week, we haven't played like we can. Hopefully Garland is starting to get back on track and we can run off a huge winning streak(very possible with this pitching staff).

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) In time, Cotts will claim that 8th inning "set-up" spot again. In the mean time, I'm interested in getting as many Ws as possible...in order to do that, McCarthy needs to bridge the gap. Like I said though, he's only had one bad outing and that game was already over with, he's looked real good when he's pitched in close games.

I missed that guy.

go

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:44 PM) If you're interested in losing. No one has stepped up yet. McCarthy gets the 8th. We're also going to have to use more then Brandon every 7th and 8th inning. Neal has had one bad outing when the game was already out of hand. He's still our best reliever imo(obviously brandon has been up to this point) but I'll take my chances with Neal every game.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:44 PM) Brian is taking Sisco yard, book it.

Brian is taking Sisco yard, book it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) I'm about 99 pct certain it was a situation where he wanted Garland to go out of the game with the chance to win and keep his confidence up. Ya, on 2nd thought, that's exactly it.

Very interesting. Ozzie has had an extremely long leash on everyone this season(hell, his whole managing career) then goes shortleash on Jon tonight.

I'm glad to see Jon stay out there one more.

Honestly, if Jon is coming out I'd like to see Matt or Neal pitch the 7th. I don't want Bmac pitching 2 innings everytime he comes in, and if he comes out there for the 7th, I bet he'll be out there for the 8th as well.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) Wrong. All 3 of the balls hit that inning were basically ducksnorts.. Just going by the commentary on here from last inning(3rd) as I can't watch teh game.

Sounds like Jon is getting a lot of help so far this game(good d, hard hit balls). Hopefully he doesn't implode for an inning, got to keep 'em right there Jon.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 06:23 PM) Is he retiring after this year -- what do you guys think? I think it depends on how well the Cubs do and how his health holds up, but moreso on the Cubs winning and how good their team is lined up to be for next year, too. Maddux wants another Ring. (Of course, he'll have to hold off on that while with the Cubs...) On another note, am I the only one pulling for him to win the National League Cy Young, and happy he's off to three great starts? Maddux will always be a Brave to me. But, more importantly, he'll always be a damned good pitcher. LOL, by the end of the year his era will be over 4, he's not getting anywhere near the cy young.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) Anderson has a huge hitch in his swing right now. Was it this bad last season? I honestly can't remember. Yes it was.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) If that's the sport I loved, I would rather be playin games and practicing. I'll second this.
