I'm glad that you're taking it so well, Chuck. Dan and I were kinda concerned that you'd do something drastic, like maybe try to commit suicide by jumping off something high up...like a kitchen chair.

Remember...it's not whether you have won or lost, but how you have played the game. And Bah-ston played the game really sh!tty the last 4 days.😃

Hey, look at the bright side.

This makes '78 & '86 look kinda painless by comparision.

Billy Bucks, please come home. All is forgiven.

Interesting to note that the Yankees won this game while resting Damon, Posada, Giambi, and having Jeter as the DH.

@Chuck: At the bottom of the story on Fox Sports on the web, it mentioned something from the "Elias Sports Bureau"....any relation?

Edit: for spelling

Sadly, no.

Hey, Chuck, btw, thanks for taking the heat off me and my beloved Cubbies.

(Geesh, I can't remember the last time the Cubs were swept in a 5-game series...)

This might be a little bit more appropriate, and helpful, for the Cubbies' fans....

Watch it.

You really want to deal with the person that's wearin' one of those?!

And Chuck, Moyer is flat out fun to watch...

But not for you anymore, I guess, DJ. Shipped him off to the Phils? What'd you get for him? I didn't see.

You can take comfort in a walk-off win over the Yanks last night. 'Course I can't take comfort in that, b/c the Sox lost again.

We got two freaking single-A pitchers...and had to pay Philly some cash to boot. The kid they called up from Triple-A to replace him was the starter last night against the Yanks...we go on an 11 game in-division road trip and lose all 11 of them, then turn around and beat one of the hottest teams in the league starting a rookie pitcher - go figure!

It was kinda fun watching Moyer pitch back at Wrigley last night, for the first time in 20 years since he was a Cub rookie. Let's see...Wood and Prior both throw 95 mph and they're always injured, and Moyer throws 65 mph and has a 20 year career? Coincidence? Hmm...

Nope. Moyer's a pitcher. The other two are throwers.

It's kinda fun watching Neifi Perez at second base. He's really solidifies the middle. Glad he was available. I hear he's great for a clubhouse. 🙂

Yea, I saw that. When did the Cubs let him go?

He has started both games and is scheduled to start tonight, again against the Champs.

It figures - I go on vacation and they neglect to approve the trade through me. I'm sorry to see him go because he was a very good backup. Did the Cubs get prospects in return?

OMG!! This just in!! NEWSFLASH!! Julian Tavarez did NOT blow the game for the Red Sox last night!!

ChuckElias

Royals become only the second team in MLB history to score 10 runs in the first inning and lose! They led 10-1 after 1 inning and lost 15-13 in extras.

As the guys on SportsCenter said, if the Royals miss the playoffs by one game, they'll kick themselves for losing this one.

Hey, I thought the Cubbies are the only non-wild card contention team we can discuss in this thread.

(Like that JR? Got 2 with 1 shot.)
