QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Silva to a contender? Eh, even with him being so good, I don't think teams want his contract. Maybe somebody will bite, but the Cubs may just keep him.

This will be good for Peavy's FIP.

Outside of Lilly, the Cubs' trade chips have virtually no value...

Why the hell is Zambrano starting when Gorzelanny's been one of the Cubs' best starters?

If Jake goes 6, it'll be fine.

Dangerous AB here with Colvin.

That walk to Soto...ugh.

Peavy's out there on a mission.

Gorzelanny's actually a good pitcher. Good thing we got the 4 runs early.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) LOL, he's more likely to wind up in the closer's role. If he keeps hitting like this, he might have 20 bombs by July13th.

Peavy with a great inning.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) Apparently Zambrano went after Lee in the dugout. Why? Because he hangs out with white players? lol

Carlos Quentin might hit himself onto the all-star team if he keeps going at it like this.

Carlos Quentin man...the man is back.

Carlos Quentin! 4-0!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Nice single by Paulie. Do you agree Paulie's homer yesterday was one of the most impressive blasts of his career? It was a bomb. Ozzie threw up his hands in the dugout. It was a high arching cannon blast. He's had better...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Best waiver claim EVER A lot of people owe him apologies, most have apologized by now though.

1-0. Rios with an RBI double.

Leadoff double, get the early lead.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) From the FanGraphs comment section: That guy is definitely bitter about something... But yeah, FanGraphs hates us. And the Mariners were totally dependent on guys like Milton Bradley. When you have to put your entire offense on that guy, you can expect the worst.

FanGraphs noticed...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:57 AM) AJ is seriously one of the dumbest hitters I have ever watched play baseball. I'd take him over Kotsay at this point though.

Why can't A.J. hit 6th?

It's too bad, because this was probably Drogba's last World Cup. He's already 32.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:32 AM) So, might as well go crazy here, let's assume Lebron and Bosh are coming here. What does that mean? We talking instant championship contender? A year or two to gel? Will we be able to compete with an aging Boston, or Orlando? What about the Suns/Lakers? On paper I think we'd clearly be the best, but you gotta see how they all play together (and where Paul might end up). And what does this do for Rose's career? Is he going to become overshadowed and lose out on all star selections? Or will this propel him further by taking a lot of the pressure of him to carry the team? Dude, if LeBron and Bosh land here, this is easily the best team in the NBA... Believe it or not, but Wins Above Replacement doesn't just apply in baseball, APBRmetrics has something similar. Last year, LeBron was worth 26 wins. Yes, 26. To give you an idea of how good that is, Rose was worth only 5 wins. So was Joe Johnson.
