QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) Hell, if we didn't grab Garcia, there's a pretty good shot that the Yankees would have ended up with another world series trophy last year too...since most everyone seemed to think they were first in line with Seattle until KW jumped in, and 1 starting pitcher would almost certainly have made the difference for them in the ALCS. I'm not so sure Seattle's too happy that they agreed to take Olivo though. The thing is if the M's had gotten Crede, they wouldn't have gotten Beltre in the off-season.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) I know we're ready to forget the Cubs and move on toward the all star break, but this is my last Cub related post, I promise. Last night, I was listening to the Score briefly and the guys on there had a question for both Cubs and Sox fans. The questions were based on these stereotypes of both fan bases: Cub fans- are fans of Wrigley Field more than fans of the Cubs. Sox fans- have an inferiority complex from Cubs fans. So here are the questions: Would Cub fans give up seeing the Cubs at Wrigley for a WS victory? In other words, starting now, the Cubs would play at another park permanently, but would win the WS this year. Would Sox fans be OK with losing the WS to the Cubs this year, if it meant we won the next 2, BUT neither of those 2 would be against the Cubs? Answer the 2nd one. If it meant winning the World Series, I don't care. Even if it were losing to the Cubs and winning only one WS, it wouldn't matter... A World Series title is a championship no matter who you beat.

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) so basically nobody's read it... I am not a Hil fan, and I still have no interest in reading this. It seems like tabloid material to me.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) Noooooooooo Rockies' starters. We're looking to win now, and those pitchers always take a while to be good again. Besides, none of them are really that good. Jason Schmidt....hell yeah. Agreed 100%. Any pitcher who pitches up their for a while, seems to take at least a year to get back to normal. That thin air just seems to take the endurance and sharpness out of pitchers.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) Yep, it's a bargain, when you look at what FA pitchers got on the market last winter. That can't be said enough. Even if Reed, Olivo, and Morse end up being good players, Freddy Garcia would have cost a kings ranson in the off-season, and we got a steal when you include the $9 mil/yr contract. You just don't find pitchers like him that cheap.

A lot of decesions coming down today... -The court refused to intervene in the reporters leak case, with their refusal to testify in a grand jury setting. -The Supreme Court also Monday overturned a ruling that required cable operators to open up their high-speed Internet lines to rivals.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 08:46 AM) Depending on your lifestyle, you may or may not need one. Everyone I know that lives in the city has a car. And again.. just because you live in the city doesn't mean you work there. Several of our IT guys live down there. FWIU there is not a big IT market in Downtown Chicago. Yeah I live in Indiana and commute to downtown everyday. The rents are WAY cheaper in the burbs, the farther you are willing to commute, the cheaper it is.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) el conde and el duque are just not getting it done anymore; they've fallen back to Earth after amazing starts. For all we know, Garland will do the same before too long; I'm certainly hoping he won't, but let's assume worst-case scenario. We need 3-4 aces to both lock up the division and go deep into the playoffs. Buerhle and Garcia are passable in that role; Garland might be, but let's not count on him just We need Schmidt, badly. This from a guy with a screenname from a mediocre middle reliever...
