RockRaines Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:24 PM) I actually want the Cubs to do well, this town is so much more fun when both teams are performing well, as long as the sox are doing better. Well, its July 16th and the Cubs still suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The Phillies need to make a move(s) and they better do it soon. They're nowhere near the same team from 2007-2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not to mention Ibanez has morphed into a replacement player and they have a s*** rotation after Halladay/Hamels and their bullpen blows.

Quin Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The Phillies trading Cliff Lee at the beginning of the year is one of the worst move ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I could have struck out 10 with that joke of a strike zone. I agree j4l, the Phillies are in a lot of trouble. And anyone hoping the Cubs do well obviously don't work with a ton of douchebag Cubs fans. Hopefully the Reds and Cardinals play good baseball, because if Aramis is back, the Cubs offense will be pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Cardinals need to acquire another starting pitcher, as Penny might not return this season. In the least shocking news of the season, the Cubs will face Suppan next weekend. No matter what team he's on, the Cubs always get to face him.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Every Cubs victory between now and July 31st is a victory for the status quo. So as far as I'm concerned, let them win and thus be stupid at the deadline and not dump anybody they can. Heck, maybe they can even save Jim Hendry's job!

Â Talk about another 100 years of futility...yikes! Â It looks to me like Rickets is almost forced to keep Hendry just for financial reasons. If the Cubs are that broke, have to sell off their high salaried players for pennies on the dollar and go with kids, repair their run down ballpark, and still charge high ticket prices; then the Sox could be primed to take a larger market share in the Chicago area. If we could put together a strong pennent push this season and next, we could own this city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reality is...they signed some serious bad contracts that are going to hurt them...but on top of that, as a business decision, they can probably make a lot more money by cutting back on salary from here, because they won't lose a whole lot in ticket or ad sales from here.

fathom Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 0 runs in 7 innings for the Phillies against Wells. Making all kind of outs on the bases and leaving men on. Interesting information my buddy told me, but in the next two weeks, the Cubs will miss out on Oswalt, Wainwright, and Jimenez. What stinks is the Sox are facing all of the oppositions top pitchers coming out of the break it seems (Hernandez, Cahill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
