QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Someone's really going to give Yao a max contract? Phil Jackson could play more games in a season than him. And even if Yao plays fewer minutes than Phil, he'll make your team one of the most marketable in the NBA and make your jerseys the most popular ones in the world.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 03:26 PM) Totally agree, pitch count is a joke. It may be overused as a crutch for some managers, but it's not a joke that a guy throwing 150 when he typically throws 110 or so is really pushing his arm where it hasn't gone before.

I do love how confused Hawk sounded while saying "Jason Larue"

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) If you are serious, you need help. That would help nothing. He didn't even run to first once the ball got away because he was too busy pouting. I have no interest in seeing that crap. That's not even normal AJ.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 03:24 PM) AJ needs a day off, pathetic AB. He had yesterday off.

Man, after an at bat display like that I'd be benching AJ for the game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) how about if the Cubs were to pay the differences between their salaries? Will they throw in a $10 million emotional meltdown kicker and the cost of a few gatorade dispensers?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:34 PM) Yea, EXAAAAACTLY what I want. You're something else. Oh, well in that case, thank you for your newfound support of the job bills hung up in the Senate.

So, now that your side lost the election and we passed a bill we were at least ok with, isn't it just as fair for us to say that if you don't like it, go somewhere else?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) to have one of the biggest 3rd base gaps in baseball history I'm hoping you're smart enough that this is sarcastic.

Nuts.

Come on team, get Rios in.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) I don't. It's really gotten old watching him slam down his bat every time he misses a high fastball or grounds out to the right side. He just routinely acts like a little b****. That's a good description of the reaction of every single Yankee to every called strike.

Nice save Q.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) One thing I won't miss when Pierzynski eventually leaves the organization is his f***ing hissy fits every time he makes an out. Bah, if that bugs you, don't watch a Yankee/Red Sox game.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Lee, Johnson, and Boozer won't get maxed out. Of the 3, Boozer has the best chance though. Forgot Yao. But really, if the Knicks and the Heat are sitting there still each with a Max contract to offer and Boozer or Johnson or Lee are the only one sitting there left unsigned, you don't think the team that gives up and offers a max deal will win?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) Maybe to replace Linebrink. I'd rather have Linebrink.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Some idiots are talking about trading Carlos Zambrano to the White Sox. Where the hell would he ever fit in? The bullpen, once the Cubs pay his entire salary, sure. Or DH.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) Or we could keep getting 7 to 8 innings of 0 to 2 runs an outing by the starters. I suggest both.

This team is wearing out that gap up the middle with 2 outs and RISP.

How about we start piling up the 3 run homers for the next few days and make it a little easeir on the bullpen?

Nice work by Rios there to beat an excellent throw

Gotta like that swing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) How many guys are there are actually going to get max contracts? 6? I can name 3, maybe 4-5 people who deserve one. Problem is...I worry that teams will start overpaying once they miss out on the top 3. Lebron, Wade, Bosh guaranteed, Amare, Lee, Johnson, Nowitzki, Boozer

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Does anyone know if there will be a delay to the start of the game because of the rain earlier? Roger Bossard laughs at you.
