Are you kidding?! The Padres are just on fire! They are just awesome! They can beat anyone! They just got done sweeping the Cubs in the 7 game season series!

Oops. Never mind.

So who's Palmiero gonna sign with?

Keep up the mantra...pretty soon it will become second nature...and then one fine Tuesday morning you will look in the sports section and realize the Mariners are no longer in last place in their division and are only 4 games out of first in the division and thinngs will start to look good to you again - birds will begin to sing, flowers will start to bloom, there will be back to back days of 90+ temperatures...life is good!

At least for now...

Hmmmmmm......,

The Cubs <b>do</b> need someone for first. I think that Sammy could handle first too if they needed him there though. That position is kinda like the retirement home for aging stars anyway- Rose, Thome, Nomar, etc.

The Cubs signing Sosa is kinda logical.....too many rumors about him flying around to be just idle rumors.

I hear Jose Canseco is getting bored...maybe they can bring him back to play first??? Wouldn't that be a hoot...

And.....

Canseco is in his 40's though. Sosa is only around 37, I think, which isn't that old anymore- baseball/wise. And Sosa was able to play a position too....something Canseco never really could do. Canseco was strictly a DH.

Even if Sosa can't hack it, what really are the Cubs losing? It's not that much of a gamble on their part.

So for the second time in three days, we get one of those "once in a lifetime" things. Yankees make a HUGE comeback (tied for their biggest comeback ever) to win last night. Apparently, they scored a touchdown as time expired and kicked the extra point with no time on the clock to win 14-13. But the really amazing thing is that no team ever has come back from a deficit of 9 or more runs and won the game with a "walk-off" home run. Until Jorge Posada did it last night. I love stuff like that. Even when the Yankees do it.

By the way, what do the Chicago teams spike their beer with? Some drunk chick almost plunked Jacque Jones from the stands at Wrigley! At least she didn't pick on some elderly first base coach.

Who's got the best record in baseball?? Mick's Tigers!!! Who'da thunk it? 'Course they're really only tied for the best record, b/c they've got the World Series Champs in their division, but still pretty amazing.

No...I think this might be their biggest comeback...probably up there in the HUGE category.

From Rick Telander's column in the Sun today:
<i>"It was funny that Hendry walked off into the Wrigley underbelly with agent Adam Katz, Sammy Sosa's business guy, at his side".</i>

Won't be long now......

I'm still going under the impression that Katz was there to meet Hendry, not the other way around. There's more upside potential for Sammy to be the one to come in and "save the season", than upside for the Cubs. And, when was the last time Sammy hit major-league pitching? I really just don't see it. I hope Hendry doesn't see it either.

Talk to me again when you see Hendry talking to Pujols' agent.

Yo, M&M......

Trade ya either Prior or Woods- your choice- for Carl Pavano. At least they get in 2 or 3 starts a year......most years.

And ... as for that 6'10" goober we got...... :rolleyes:

OK, I am now officially a Chicago Cubs fan.

Actually, I'm a Mike Barrett fan, he just happens to play for the Cubs.

That is one tough SOB.
