Are they less factor in night games?
P.S. There were no night games when I lived in Chicago.

Yea Miller called Piniella as the White Sox manager
The only thing worst would be calling him the Cardinals manager, I wouldn’t be surprised if Morgan did that unpurpose

Omg
But Edmonds has been doing well, and so has RJ. Wow, we might have a dilemma in CF.
Therefore
Once RJ returns and Soriano returns, and IF Patterson continues his hot streak, where would the Cubs place him?
I just hope that he takes over Fontenot's place on the bench

Banks Boulavard????
This is the 2nd time I’ve heard Joe Morgan say this during an ESPN broadcast of the Cubs.
I don’t remember anyone calling the baskets on top of the walls “Banks Boulavard”
I googled it
5th or so link down somebody wrote a blog about it. Basically Joe implied that they call it Banks Boulevard because Banks hit so many HRs into the basket (and thus implying he shouldn’t have as many HRs or something) even though the basket couldn’t have accounted for more than 6 of his 512 career HRs.
Joe's got his doctorate now, he can make that shit up

Quick questions
My mexican girlfriend is about to kill Jon MIller for his Adios Pelota comment after Rami’s HR. I wonder how I could get ahold of Jon Millers boss over at ESPN?
Also, for those of you are wondering where EPat plays? He is your new left fielder for the Cleveland Indians if I have anything to say about it.
EPatt doesn't have a long-term future as a left fielder.
If he can’t stick at 2B or CF he can’t hit well enough to play every day.
Of course, the Indians wouldn’t turn down help at those positions, either.
Normally, I'd say that if our starter gets us to the end of 6...
we’ve got the game wrapped. Tonight, I’m not so sure given Marmol’s recent issues.

Agreed
Let’s see if he continue his brilliance as a number two hitter. He could become an excellent trading chip for Sabathia, but I would really hate to give up on a player like E-Patt.

Cubs won't be sold till possibly heading itno next season
And you what the Tribune said…Hendry can spend all the $$$ he wants.
Howry
Howry will also become a class A free agent and we would still get the draft picks.
What I'm saying is...
...you trade for Sabathia, use him as a rental, let him leave in FA and pocket the draft picks. The A’s used to do this ALL the time.
I know that
But Sabtathia is only 28 yrs old. The Cubs have $$$ to spend regardless what happens. If the A’s had cash to spend in the past, they would have resigned Haren.
They traded Haren for a cash crop of prospects.
Sabathia locks you into yet another long-term deal, and at some point if you don’t stop handing those out you end up looking like the 2008 Yankees, a team with a lot of problems and nowhere to make fixes.
Well...depends on who the Cubs give up
If the Cubs pull off a deal similar to the Mets trade for ohan and they ended up sparing their best talent, then it is possible getting Sabathia would not kill the Cubs farm.
Therefore, resigning Sabtahia would not be a problem
He would get a similar deal to Z and unlike most pitchers he is only 28. sign him to a 5 year deal and he would become a free agent by the age of 33.
REally bad, lol
Thus, Sabathia would make perfect sense, but lets not kill the farm for him.
not bad enough to be stupid
and sell EVERYTHING for a shot. its a young man’s game, you don’t win with vets you need depth, youth and speed to win now.
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 22, 2008 9:03 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, thats why Hendry would do whatever makes sense now and the longterm
Let’s see what Shapiro wants. who knows, we might pull off a deal similar to the Santana trade.
I would trade
Veal, Pie, Russell and Cedeno for Sabathia. But Gallagher, Patterson and Vitters are the only ones untouchable, IMO.
My new life, my new world, and my beautiful daughter:
Kayla Davis: Due date (8-11-08)!
The untouchables are the guys that you need to win now.
Soto is the only REAL untouchable we have, although Gallagher is probably close. (Vitters, sure, he’s probably untouchable too.)
I'll take 6 years over the current streak...
But I wouldn’t want to see a complete firesale like the Marlins had. If we only have to give up two top prospects plus some lower prospects for a rental of CC we would have a chance to make that up with the 2 picks for letting him leave.
I'm not saying that you get stupid with it.
But I definately think that this team has a window, and I want to see them capitalize.
yeah,
Gallagher is close IMO. I think he is a long-term fix for us. I think it would be stupid to trade him for someone like Sabathia, and then potentially lose them both by the end of this year.
My new life, my new world, and my beautiful daughter:
Kayla Davis: Due date (8-11-08)!
If Cleveland needs a SS I would give them Theriot..
I doubt his value would ever be any higher than it is now.

Yeah, but the Cubs are a team built to win now...
...and there’s no point in developing talent simply for its own sake. If you can make a deal that helps this club win, you have to at least consider it.
