He's allways been that way looks like hes gliding to the ball

I know, he's an exceptional fielder. He just acts like a tough catch is like a walk in the park.

He moves very well , throws well , surprising as big as he is. His flexability is very surprising.

Kolten Wong better crank it up as well second baseman ready to go at Memphis as well.

[Jay Kirk]

Personally I'm ready to move on from Wong and Fowler . There is plenty in Memphis to replace them.

As of now the Cubs really don't have any great prospects that I can see but most of their team is young regarding lineup so I am not overly concerned. The Pitching has me concerned though.

Yes they must develop pitching or rely on FA for pitching . You are correct very good young lineup.

Lol Oneil looks like a freak in that uniform

Yeah everyone in Chicago land is talking about Bryce Harper in Free Agency after the season. I would rather go after the best young Pitcher that is available. We don't need Harper, we have Bryant and Rizzo + Contreras, Baez, Kyle, and Russ. All of those guys are young and Good to Great.

[Jay Kirk]

Looks like the Penguin standing there

Yeah, see ya later. Go Pacers in Game 3. Man I hope we get that one. Looks like Cubs will win this = 8-1 now, when Heyward homers I know it's our day. Take care.

Yeah watch the Cubs lose, did I jinx it? . Cubs did this the other night and almost came back. Both teams are dangerous like that.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Edwards is in now but he even gets shaky at times. 5 Outs away. Morrow is still available.

[2006Coltsbestever]

LOL, if DeJong homers I will  

[2006Coltsbestever]

As usual with any Cubs/Cards game this has turned out to be a good one. I figured the Cards would make a run. Huge Strike Out for Carl, still 8-5 to the Bottom of the 8th.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Rizzo with 3 Hits today, very nice to see him back.

[2006Coltsbestever]

3 more Outs to go, to the 9th 8-5 Cubs.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs win, fly the flag Gozer. Keeps everything bunched up. Standings look like this in the NL Central:

1. Pirates 12-6

2. Cards 10-8

3. BrewCrew 9-8

4. Cubs 8-8

5. Pete Rose 3-15

 

-Morrow is pretty solid!

I'm glad they won no need letting the Nats control their psych . Suck it up and finish the season . NFL you have a very good team way to early to worry.

Thanks, my friend. I am not worried.  Just have a lot to do and I feel a little stressed.

 

What have I missed in baseball?

What are you stressed about? Vikings are Very Good and so are the Mets. I am a wreck because LeBron is about to ruin the Pacers season for like the 100th time . Its all good though because the Cubs just won the WS.

Sorry late to the party, stuck roofing a house all day.......

Welp. Price is out for the Reds. Too bad Walt Jocketty and Dick Williams won't be joining him, they're the true reasons for this terrible team.

 

Glad at least the rest of the division is noteworthy this season.

I thought the Reds would be better. I picked them to finish around .500 before the season right with the Pirates.

Is this the year the Reds trade Joey Votto? Who would take on that contract?

Reds are one of those teams that seems to be Bad every year now. Cubs don't play until 840ET tonight so I wont be able to stay up and watch that. I have to work in the morning but I will be around until a little after 9 because Pacers play at 7ET.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I have to go to bed, Cubs at Rockies 3-3 as of now in the 4th. Stayed up to watch the Pacers game, they won. See ya folks.

I'm not saying your wrong but knowing Jocketty as I do , I'm gonna lay this right at ownerships feet. Not willing to bring in FA's is a big part of the Problem. Jocketty did a very good job in St Louis but he also had ownership who were willing to invest and field a winner. The Reds organization has had this problem for some time. They get good home grown talent , then they are not willing to pay up and keep them. I have watched this happen with the Reds for several years.

No he has a no trade clause and will retire a Red in my opinion . They have brought that thought to the surface before and he nixed it.

[Jay Kirk]

I would love nothing more than to see the Reds a player in the Central once again.
