QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) I can't wait for the day that Zambrano suffers a season-ending injury due to his stupid antics. wow it was 3-2...i left for 25 min and its 7-3 nice.....what did Z do? looks like the cubs are finally having a tough time when they actually play teams that aren't 15 games under .500 at home

zambrano has the highest batting average of anyone in town

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) HELL YES. Plus, the double beef burrito sucks. Double s***tiness. i mentioned it in another thread somewhere...but everytime the driver guy says "i gotta spot you?" i wanna throw my remote through the tv

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) Hu might be the worst player in the majors this season. there was someone on this site, i cant remember Hu (yeah i went there)....no but seriously i dont know who it was...but someone wanted him BAD and was completely and utterly over the top and adamant on us getting him...like you said...good thing

worst commercial out right now is the taco bell one for the double beef burrito with the rap.....drives me nuts btw i love any of free credit report.coms jingles...those are so bad they are good...like the red roof inn one

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 12:55 PM) Is this our year? http://www.rotoworld.com/content/HeadLines...B&hl=240247 the division is ours for the taking....the tigers cant pitch and the indians cant hit....also the indians starting pitching is starting to regress to the mean (at least guys like lee and laffey are) and they also have no bullpen.....long term i still dont think the twins have what it takes.... objectively, we have the pitching, and actually have about a league average offense that figures to get better, with a great pen we have as good of a shot at winning this division as any team in baseball has at winning their division, with the exception of the cubs IMO

offensively...beckham reminds me of "the passion"

3 reasons to be extremely optimistic about the offense BABIPs Thome: .238 Konekro: .219 Swisher: .243 they should get better for sure also, all have a great BB rate...thome and swisher always do, but konerko is on pace for the best in his career

i hope this doesnt turn into the jose paniagua game

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) Good lord, mlb.com is starting to suck some real major ass...second day in a row where i can't even get mlb.tv to load, much less work worth a damn seriously, this sucks....i hate mlbtv so much...at least 1 game every two weeks i dont get to see because of a malfunction...so aggravating, if i was going to buy for the whole year, and not monthly i would have done extra innings in a heartbeat

anyone else having a difficulty loading mlbtv?

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) So it's Hinsdale? yes

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) Thome is always all around the Downers Grove-Willowbrook-Hinsdale-LaGrange area.. I said in a different thread that he often goes to the Jimmy John's in Darien on 75th street. He lives in Hinsdale, average house, pretty humble.. seems fitting. Hopefully that Chinese will do him well, Jimmy Johns didn't do the trick last time my friend made his sandwich, he kept slumping. i know one of thomes neighbors and apparently he is just an awesome guys...has the guys kids over for BBQs alot and stuff

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) Randall Thorpe rated as the fastest player at the 2007 Area Code Games, running a 6.4-second 60-yard dash. He also has a strong arm, which makes him a standout defender in center field. But teams are unlikely to meet his asking price to keep him away from Texas A&M because they question his bat. He needs to add strength to his 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame, and he struggled to hit .300 against high school pitching this spring. -BA seems like we are signing alot of signability concern type guys...thats good if we can sign some of em this year, but for 3 years down the line when they are drafted again...

sonny gray just got picked by teh cubs...hes got a strong commitment to vandy, but hes a top 2 round talent and they could throw some money at him...god they already drafted the vandy SS and CF, if they sign this guy i wont be happy

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) On 24th rounder Brett Graffy: Graffy, who touched 95 mph in his last Cape Cod League outing last summer, gets more run on his fastball and pitches in the high 80s when he drops down to a three-quarters arm slot. His splitter is a promising second pitch. Control never has been Graffy's strongest suit, and when he couldn't throw strikes he lost his role in the Fighting Irish bullpen. -BA. always a good thing to take guys who played in the cape IMO...esepcially if they can touch 95

OC has looked better at short as the year has gone on...the first 3 or 4 weeks were pretty bad

ive always liked teahan as a player...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) Anyone know if the Pen is up? thorntons throwing

sounds like they really liked oneills sink....what was it...only 3 ground outs and 40 something air outs? thats pretty crazy

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 09:03 PM) Laumann said it was Beckham or Alonso for us. no he said it was beckham or alonso for cincy...and they thought cincy would take beckham since they have votto at 1b, but they went with alonso anyways, so they were surprised

im not entirely sure, but i think DJ just made a "Bad Boyz" reference

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) didn't Kenny Williams Jr. get in trouble with law a few years ago to? yeah it was one of his sons...he has another...kyle who goes to Arizona state....he used to play baseball (rarely played) but then quit because i think he is actually a pretty decent WR on the football team

"will ohman and scott eyre tag teamed both of us"....gross
