It's in his goddamn head. He's got the talent but is completely retarded.

They traded Rowand to get a Left Handed Power bat to fill the DH role. Not to give Anderson a chance to start.

How has Uribe's defense been "bad" this year, him and Crede have been about as good as you could ask for out of hte left side of your IF defensively. One bad play and he's villianized? Stop letting the Cubs get to your head.. I'm all for adding a CF (TORRII HUNTER) who can swing the bat and brings a great glove, but if we cant work that deal then OK. Are you guys gonna rag on Jim Thome b/c he strikes out like crazy? No.

Probably reported b/c he read this thread

You couldve said at the start of the season that McCarthy would've been a huge guy out of hte BP (even w/ his 5.38 or w/e it is ERA) and that Cotts and Politte would retain form. I want to be able to have our pitchers go 7 inning and be up by 2 w/o having thier lead have a pretty decent chance of getting blown and if it means losing McCarthy, then so be it. If McCarthy is what you guys make him out to be, arent you going to be somewhat excited at what we can garner in a trade for him?

Yea, and the reason we have that 2nd best record is because we werent complacent in the offseason. Now theres a weakness thats emerged on this team. The only guys on our team that can conisistently hold a lead past the 7th are our starters. When you just say "Oh, things will work themselves out", they very rarely do.

In other words were stuck with him and his contract. Yay

If we were to send him to Anahiem, I can definitly see him waiving that clause.

If Detroit keeps it up (which I kind of doubt) I dont know how easy it's gonna be to wait 2 months. We've got way too many pitchers pidgenholed in the minors and a Bullpen thats below-average.. this is a good opportunity to open up spots for those guys in the future and get some Bullpen arms so we dont toss away gems like Contreras today.

Discuss. I'd be willing to ship out Garland or McCarthy for some decent BP arms. Cotts and Politte arent what they were last year.. all we really have is Jenks.

Thats pretty much what it sounds like. Count takes Logan's spot, Lopez takes Monteros spot.

The 670 Score Reports it.

If he's as on as I think he might. All we'll need is Thome getting lucky on a breaking ball.

Take notes Dusty Baker.. and you wonder why youre team shows no effort....

Mackowiak will get the start because he's a Cub's Killer. But I dont see why you dont want Uribe in the game... his putrid offensive #'s are buried in the 9-hole where he's damage potential is limited. Were going to need his defense to keep guys like Ronny Cedeno and Pierre from just trying to put it on the ground and run it out. Uribe and maybe Crede are the only guys on this team that have the arm strength to put those two away. I'd rather the Cedeno-Pierre combo just swing wildly at crap, but theyre going to try and bunt and leg thier way onto base. I dont want Pierre at 1st distracting Contreras, if he even starts to lose focus... well you know whatll happen.
