Anyone hear about Brett Boone? Was released. I honestly think a team like Tampa should pick him up and use his veteran knwoledge to help their team along, even if he won't be much a presence at the plate.

Yeah I just saw his interview on ESPN, he got really emotional. Brett will be back there is no doubt about that, the questions is whether he can still be a contender or not.

Anyone catch the Yanks game today? They downright killed the Orioles, 17 hits by the team. The score was 12-3, they look good right now boys and girls. They are absolutely killing the ball.

[AppleDave Veteran]

Oh dear god this season couldnt get any worse.

O c'mon now, you knew in your heart something like this had to happen. It's the Cubbies. I don't even know what to say anymo:no:no:. I don't tend to believe in curses and stuff but I'm beginning to run out of explanations for what happens to them.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel bad too... I really, really wanted to see them in the world series last year. Against the Yankees or Boston... Stupid Boston...

:angry: you're hillarious

[Prosidius]

I'm a Brewer fan. I cheer when they lose, I laugh when they think they will win it all. I will laugh and cheer when the White Sox goto the WS and win before the beloved cubbies.

Lets go Brewers, Astros and Bucs!!!!

(If they all win and Chicago loses, Chicago will be in 5th place.)

Stop with the anti-Cub trolling man. It's annoying.

I still don't understand why teams don't just fastball hammer Giambi. His homers are all against offspeeds pitches and he still has a hard time getting the high heat. Duh, just got after him.

And if they keep the ball away from him they'd have no problem either... He can't hit the ball to the opposite side of the field if his life depended on it.

[Prosidius]

Stupid Brewers and there lack of offense. Losing 1-2 to the Braves. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

[thechitowncubs]

prior looks good :)

I just re did my website and am trying to make it a personal/chicago cub blog, check it out if you want.

[Veedems Veteran]

The Yankees have no luck with starting pitching. There's a chance Wang is out for the year now.

[AppleDave Veteran]

Cubbies are on fire, Kerry pitched great. It looks like we are back, Jerry Hairston Jr. hit a Grand Slam today! Thank god we sent Corey Patterson to do minors. Cubs beat the Pirates today 11-1.

I'm sick and tired of Manny Ramirez. For those who didn't see it, the Bosox are beating the Yanks 12 - 1. Manny gets up and hits a long fly towards the incredibly poor fielder, Melky Cabrera who barely managed to get to it and snatch it up before it hit the grass. The problem? Manny took 4 or 5 slow steps away from the plate, holding his bat and just watching the ball travel. What the hell is that? You get paid $20 million a year and you can't at least try to run decently hard? That's nothing but disrespect to the other team, his own teammates, and the fans who paid very good money to get a chance to see him. Damn, I wish people would be less concerned about upsetting players and Francona would bench him for a game. If I ever saw someone on my team doing that (whether youth basketball as a coach or any sport as a player), I would flip out to no end. It's disgusting.

thats manny, he does it on his home runs too. i remember one when they played the rangers where he walked down the line on a hit that turned out to be a home run and not a long fly. people were up in arms up here becuase he wasn't hustling but the bases were loaded so where exactly is he gonna go? i understand ur anger in his lack of hustle but eh use him as an example of how not to run the basepaths and relax. ;)

on the subject of the game, are the yankees gonna sign leiber back to help out the pitching? its been a crazy week in fenway but i have to say the yankees-sox games bring out some of the best talent, if you know what i mean, of all the series.

[nemo]

the yankees need some ****ing starting pitching talent... enough with the big names. they need good numbers... obviously big names aren't helping them..

i heard they wanted to get Al leiter who i slike 3-6 with a like 6.78 ERA.... yeah, i'm sure he's gonna help us... :rolleyes:

if the yankees are down they wont try to come back unless there is one person who ends up getting a good hit to put them back in it, otherwise they just don't do ****.

edit:

Leiter, 39, was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Thursday. The team had 10 days to release or trade the left-hander, who was 3-7, 6.64 ERA this year as a starter and reliever.

OH, he's gonna help... He's gonna either hur thimself or just lose his gas (which it looks like he already has)... ****ing moron Cashman is... he needs to be booted... Cashman is ruining the yankees.
