QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 02:47 PM) Odds of garbage being on the field when the cubs lose? 1-1. WGN did a good job trying to hide the first garbage dump, but we all caught it. They have designated guys with specially designed garbage bag backpacks to pick up the s*** they throw on their "shrine."

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 03:02 PM) Although it's from the Yankees and that probably drives some of it, there's been a good deal of buzz around Tabata for a couple years now. I think I knew his name when he was like 17. He's not putting up great numbers, but he's not putting up great numbers as a talented 19 year old in AA. If we had a guy like him and traded him in a deal for Marte and Nady...we'd be pretty annoyed. No kidding. How bout this: We thought we won a deal trading Marte away for Mack-O-Whack. Now he's being called a shut down relief pitcher in the media.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:36 PM) Yankees stole those 2. Nady hitting what .330 and Marte has been lights out lately. I cant even believe what im reading in this thread. You guys are aware this was Damaso Marte right? One of the most unclutch pitchers ive ever seen. He invented the David Riske syndrome. Xavier Nady is having a good season thus far, but isnt exactly a star player. This is a meh deal IMO.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) Well he was getting tossed immediately, umpires don't listen to base coaches or put up with their s***, ever. Good thing Sinatro bumped him as well. I love how cubs fans voice their displeasure, throw s*** on the field. I was at the Cell when we swept them and it was the first time in a long time i've seen that many beers thrown near the field. Why has that become their expression of choice?

With the exception of Halladay, Floyd is better than any other pitcher on the market.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) First off, he was out, lay off Drake. Second of all, sliding makes it 10x harder to judge the play. It's retarded to slide head first, just stupid. Then you are gonna get tossed as a nobody first base coach throwing your hat, then he bumped him, then Piniella made an ass of himself, and bumped another umpire. Lay off Drake and don't mix in anything else that he has or hasn't done. Guy did one hell of a job. Hell of a call and made the right decision by throwing out a first base coach for being a baby. Love how Len and Bob cannot admit that he was out.

Hanley makes a great play by throwing out DeRosa at first on a headfirst slide, Sinatro argues and throws his helmut, Lou runs out of the dugout and argues a call that the ump got right, fans throw trash on the field and take pictures with their camera phones. Just another day at Wrigley.

Fields will take him deep.

This is a huge problem if he's out for the season. He was lights out for us.

MRI? WTF. There goes our set up guy. So Dotel is 8th inning, you move DJ into 7th and still use the lefties situationally?

Tigers fans praising Alexei for his defense.

Bad error, but not a bad offensive night for Fields.

Maybe tomorrow we'll play defense.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Ozzie is a genius. 1. Put in Masset so he can seemingly blow the game. 2. Watch JD break Detroits heart 3. Bobby shuts it down 1-2-3 4. Detroit demoralized for the next 2 games Kept the big boys fresh for the next games if needed. Sometimes you just have to throw out the b team and let them pitch.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) And DJ Carrasco gets a much deserved win, he has looked pretty damn good up with the big team. Unhittable tonight. Those sliders/cutters on the outside corner are nasty.

f*** yeah, good pen move by Ozzie, great comeback. FWIW Ketih Law said Alexei is a below average and sloppy defender.

BTW, if they pull this out, this makes Ozzie's managing of a pen genius, because he would have saved his top guys from pitching a few more innings on this long road trip. Dye batting 4th and Q 3rd is so magical. Has anyone taken a look his Dye's stats lately, wowza.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) Make them pay Paulie and shut up the haters for a couple of minutes. Dude, nobody who is a Sox fan hates Konerko.

That was nasty, but hung a little.

Make me eat my f***in words Konerko...please

f***, here is where their pen has improved.

Did it look like Josh isnt loading his bat up as much that at bat?

Ozzie just told Miggy "get over there and talk to your pitcher you fat f***"

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) CQ is really an awkward looking fielder. Still adjusting to LF? No idea why he looks like that. I didnt think he looked like that in RF in AZ

Goddammit!!!! Break out of this s***. I would like northing more than having this offense just light up, especially Konerko and Fields. COME ON!!!
