wanna switch shoes? try dealing with whiny "in your face" white sox fans everyday, terrible luck, and the frustration of being laughed at by a corporation that is getting what it wants for nothing. what a business the cubs are for the trib; shit product, one of the best output of fans in sports.

edit; nevermind, your a Reds fan. Biggest one-sided rivalry in baseball. Apparently you guys consider us rivals? were we supposed to return the favor?

Scottman111

I don't think we're rivals but I do agree there's people around here that do think that. I'm more of a Reds-Astros rivalry kind of guy myself

And I hope you guys know I was kidding about you being drama queens. (hence the smiley) I'm about the least serious person on this board...I was just trying to start some crap to get this thread interesting again.

Scottman111

And speaking of the Astros, I guess Bagwell went ahead and unwillingly retired or what? I know the Astros didn't want him but I haven't heard about anyone trying to sign him Maybe I missed something.

phipark

The Reds and Cubs are rivals?

Yumcha

Will you get serious if I start telling you just what I think of your Bengals and Reds are...?

Yumcha

I never thought that either. It's your stupid Birdbrains who're really the rivals to the minor-leagueing Cubs...





And for the record, I think Pujols is on the juice.

Scottman111

I already know what you think of my teams (the same way I think about yours)

Yumcha

Need I remind you how Chad Johnson got on his guaranteed victory over the Colts...?



L-A-M-E.

CL Platano

did anyone catch the football game in the bronx last night..

Yumcha

The Fumble in the Bronx?

Scottman111

Oh yeah!!!!! Well........................













I got nothing

ccannizz11

Jorge owned the Rangers

RyeCL

Yeah! Posada went for two for the win.

evilstorm

who has been no. 1 in power rankings for 5 weeks straight now?

Yumcha

Go ChiSox!

Although, I am rather surprised that it's the Tigers nipping at their heels instead of the Indians...Go figure.

Doom878

I liked the Reds and Pirates rivalries.

Scottman111

^ It's hard to have a rivalry if only one team is competitive :wink:

Doom878

I meant the older ones when Leyland managed the Pirates and Rijo and Eric Davis were the shit.

gocubsgo55

yeah, The Reds consider the Cubs arch rivals for the most part, which I found out after my life as a Cubs fan, just 2 years ago

Scottman111

Oh, yeah those were the days. I believe that was the last time the Pirates were competitive...

Yumcha

@ Yanks' and Pavano...

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2449087

Wow, is he the worst pitching signing since Chan Ho Park with the Rangers?

Yumcha

And I wonder how many starts Wood will have this season before he injures himself...?


Bets start at over/under 1 start.

GIBSON6594

Seriously, if he hurts himself again he might as well retire. But there were positive reports. His fastball is consistant at 97 and he is controlling it.

Yumcha

Well, yes and no. He's got amazing talent...just can't seem to put it together. He is still under 30 and if you recall, super-pitchers like Schilling and Johnson didn't gain their form until they turned 30 either.

That being said, I still stand by my opinion that the Cubbies should trade Wood...

evilstorm

you read the tribune too much

Yumcha

The Tribesters want to trade Wood?




Daily Herald reader mostly (although, I check in on the Sun-Times every once in a while just to see what kind of stupid Mariotti is advocating for) ---->

evilstorm

was referring to the first part of that post...but it may have been the herald. I rather liked mariotti's column today.

Yumcha

Mariotti can make sense every once in a while...my beef with him is that he thinks you need to spend like the Yanks and poof, you build a winner.

I find his columns entertaining though...

GreenMonster

Damon's got a fractured foot too...

They need some pitching, and some outfielders... If the sox hadn't traded for Wily Mo Pena, I'm sure the Yanks would have him as one of their starting outfielders by now.

peacefrog

Tigers = Best team in baseball

Doom878

Leyland for Mgr of the year assuming they hold up.

Yumcha

Not for long, they won't.

Yumcha

So, anyone catch the basebrawl game between Chicago and Chicago?



And guess who's in the middle of it all again: A. J...Wow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctsYoWLgtuY

Yumcha

And the utter crap and bad news of the day: The Cheater has tied Ruth.





Please retire Bonds. Please.

GIBSON6594

Good news is after his next HR the craze should die down for a while

Doom878

At this rate he won't catch Hank. He's struggling out there.

kurt_bradley

Beckett is now 6-1 after a fine 8-4 victory over the Phillies.

Let's hope we can get 30 starts out of him this season...for the first time.

Yumcha

Meh, Garcia of the ChiSox is 7-1.


6-1...MEH.

Yumcha

Well, lookit that: Wood's injured again.

WTF...

============

[b]Wood has sore shoulder[b]

By Paul Sullivan

Kerry Wood's sore right shoulder may prevent him from making his scheduled start on Tuesday in Florida.

Prior to Sunday's game at U.S. Cellular Field, Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild could not discount the idea of Wood being skipped a start.

"It's possible," Rothschild said. "But we'll have to see. It may not be even that (long). It may be quicker than that. He may be ready to go, so we'll see."

With an off-day on Thursday, the Cubs could move Wood back in the rotation until sometime next weekend against Atlanta. He's scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday, which would seemingly mean at least a one day delay until Wednesday.

Wood experienced soreness after his first start Thursday, following 8 ½ months of rehabbing his shoulder after arthroscopic surgery.

Are the Cubs concerned about Wood's health?

"There's concern because you'd like it to go smoothly, but with shoulders it's not going to go smoothly," Rothschild said. ."You just have to check out what the best thing is for him to get through this. We knew coming up these possibilities exist."

M TYPE X

Hells yeah.

... and if not, Comerica's park is pretty nice.
