The Yankees are everything I want the Cubs to be. The Yankees win. All the time. If they can’t draft or develope the best players in the game, they go out and sign them. And then they win some more. I admire the way they do business.
@ WaLi:
SK’s OCD kicked in and decided that he needed to change fonts and other formatting issues, from what I can see. (dying laughing) Looks nice though. I like the Race to the Top font. Sort of Old Timey baseball classic.
@ WaLi:
I missed that. Apparently SK’s OCD did too, since in L-W it should be 4-6. We probably shouldn’t mention it anymore though, because we don’t want to make him so upset with himself that he starts jabbing toothpicks under his fingernails.
I wonder if the Cubs might get a competitive balance pick from Detroit in a package for Garza or Dempster. See here.. It would be after the 2nd round if I read that right. Tradable draft picks in another new component of the CBA that hasn’t really been in the discussion so far, unless I missed it. Possibly the Rays or Pirates could go that way too. Soto to Rays for a CB pick?
@ Chet Masterson:
I’m not sure I want to think about Shark and Garza riding each other, but in honor of Shark’s start tonight and recent-ish developments here on OV, there’s this:
@ mb21:
If F7 ends the year at 13-10 with a 4.2 ERA, you might be the most sharkbitten, MB, so the survival kit is either mostly for you, or for everyone else if he ends up 7-15, 5.75. (dying laughing).

They’re my favorite AL team. I usually end up rooting for them long before the season ends thanks the Cubs sucking all the time.

For Rosenbloom, Sullivan et al, Z articles basically write themselves.

He could get bumped up and pitch on short rest. We gotta prime the fires just in case.

Am I missing something or is it the same as the one at the footer except with the L-W backwards?

And the L and W are always backward.

Yeah but his says 6-4 for Cubs, the one below says 4-6.
