Aaaaahhhh, felt good to email that 1st inning score to the scrub fans in my office.

Damm I knew that cigarette would pay off!!!! Thata boy Miguel!!!!!

Gracias amigo!

And Carlos?????????

And the Schnur?????

Exactly, and up until last season that was Frank. Maggs has passed him now though but for how long is still a ???????

Ahhhhh, another smartly turned phrase by one of my northern neighbors.

Special Export = Old Style with a fancy label.

..........But don't bother with WGN.

Never could understand why strikeouts are such a big deal with some people, was it really better that CLee GIDP 3 times yesterday instead of K'ing 3 times? The problem with Hernandez is not that he has 95 K's, it's that he's hitting .186 with RISP.

God I'm glad I missed that!

This argument against Colon is ridiculous. Its almost as ridiculous as the theory KW is no longer the GM. These people are grown men, they care about their paychecks more than about someone maybe giving them crap in Spanish. If something like that bothers them they should be playing in a beer league. This personality crap is so overated. The biggest a-hole in the world is Barry Bonds, his team was in the World Series last year, and with a different group of guys in first place this year. Bonds is a total prick, you are correct. But i may want to mention, how many rings does that prick have? 0?

Attitude problems Rex, not sure why anyone would be that high on him IMO unless the Marlins were trying to just give him away and they're not gonna take CLee for him.

Amen to that!!!!!!!!! This didn't just start this yr, this is a team that at its core is a bunch of shrinking violets and it's been that way since the 2nd half of 2000.

Well if it any consolation, the Scrubs have more GIDP's(64) than us(62), but then we lead the AL in GIDP's while C&L with 16, the next highest is the Yankmees with 10. Of course we're also 29th in the majors hitting with RISP(.218), though we do move all the way up to 23rd with RISP/2 out(.220).

I think were looking at a sweep. Come on! I'm sure we'll win one of those games.

Might not be a fair comparison. Equipment has changed. I wonder what Lee's stats would be with the tiny glove that Joe played with. Plus scorers today are encouraged to rule plays as hits not errors for fan appeal. Hits not errors mean better fielders and hitters, at least on the surface. Still a good point. Maybe we have set the standards higher. Ah, good point! Maybe the newer/better equipment of today has made the 2 hand catch obsolete. Exactly why I loath using errors as a comp but in this case I believe it would apply as a ball hitting an OFers glove and popping out(what a 2 hand catch would supposedly stop) would still be ruled an error even in today's laxed scoring. Yes truely, and part of that is the very high level at which these guys field the ball now. I mean, could you really imagine Don Kessinger winning a gold glove nowadays? None of this exonerates poor fundy's but when I hear how things aren't like they were in the old days, I think "Thank God!!".

What does the 2 hand catch have to do with baseball fundamentals? Shoeless in his first 4 full seasons had error totals of 12, 16, 18, and 7 in the OF. Carlos Lee in his first 4 full seasons had error totals of 4, 3, 8, and 1 in the OF. Who had the better fundy's?????????

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The little bit of hate I carry in my heart he has first dibs on, second is the Queen of the Sun Times. Btw, Kotexboy = North??????????? Jay Mornotti from the ST :fyou him LOL, Ok thanx. I've called it The Queen for so long I couldn't imagine it being called anything else.

Hey Rex, long time no read. Was just down in your neck of the woods(well the Smokies) and was kinda surprised to see after 10 days away that FT had taken over all the O team stats. Btw, I've also heard that Bill Gleason story a few times and there was also more to the Harry Caray rift and if ya don't believe me ask Lou.

So Ncorgbl, I assume from what I've read that you are a minority owner(and I HATE assuming). If so, could you answer a couple of ?????'s I've had? What are the ownership % for JR and EE? What do you see as the outcome of the appearent reimergence of EE on the scene? Is there a reimergence? Finally, why is Rob Gallas still hired and who does he have pictures of?

Happens all the time, even with the beloved. Nothing to get jacked about.

He's trade bait IMO for someone looking for a lefty, maybe as part of a package as that's how it looks like we'll get any value back in the inevitable coming dumps.

I unfortunately have to agree and I'm the biggest Ginter basher there is.
