    MLB: Soriano to the Rays?

    Pena was paid the remainder of last year's salary this year, yes to Big Z and Byrd.....I hope not with Silva, cant remember. 80% is bad, yes I agree but it really isnt too much different than 100% when he is blocking future starters. We may get a pitcher or 2 out of a Soriano trade but that is...

    MLB: Soriano to the Rays?

    Still paying Carlos Pena this year too....first I've heard of a specific rumor but Cubs may be willing to pay all of his salary to move him. Long overdue....

    Cubs Mid Season

    Agree....next year will be bad too. I dont think any top line free agents will come to Wrigleyville next year. Dumpster might come back after this year if traded but Volsted, Wood, Wells, Coleman, Malholm(if not traded this year) and Samardzija would be pretty sad for a rotation.

    ok, I was going with the theory of one error every 100 attempts but I like your research better than mine. I also liked him because he was a too sport athlete from Auburn, hoping for the next Bo Jackson.

    .991% career fielding percentage isnt awful....I was curious and looked it up.

    Oh yeah, more proof people hate the White Sox....AJ's snub from the all star team....hahaha. I wish Barrett would have knocked him out back in the day.

    Its a race issue.

    Why would you really care about a cross town, different division team? I was a Frank Thomas fan for so long but couldnt be a Sox fan for 2 reasons: Hawk Harleson is easily one of the biggest DB ever and most Sox fans are phoney, fake fair weather fans.

    At only 5 mil for this year and next, they were hoping he would have some trade value eventually. They didnt blow the $$$ this year because they knew they wouldnt be competitive.

    Pitching will come via free agency in the upcoming years, they have so little actually on the books in following years that it is almost scary. Once Soriano's $$$ is off the books, it is something like less than 25 million in future contracts.

    MLB: All Star Teams Announced

    Cubs drafted Hamilton in the Rule 5 draft years ago and traded him to Cincy, we thought we had too many decent outfielders at the time. I was so po'd.

    MLB: All Star Teams Announced

    He is a stud, hope we keep him....hard to develop power. I figured Castro would get the nod but very pleasantly surprised that LaHair made it....he started off so hot. Still going to be a more fun team to watch this year than the last couple, I am ready for the youth movement.

    Seriously KXNO?

    I can only speak from my Omaha experiences, but Travis is a complete DB and cant believe anyone would pay him for his opinions. When I move to the DSM area, I will never spend a minute listening to that joke.

    not moving on I-80...

    approx 50 west of Des Moines, east bound. Road construction, down to one lane....idiots not merging causing huge bottleneck. Close to all cars going by in the reduced lane are from Nebraska and Colorado....not more than one or two Iowans. So proud....and frustrated.

    Sprint mobile users?

    I curse the coverage everyday but love the unlimited data and couldnt imagine going anywhere else. I hate missing calls and texts but I paired my service with google voice and it sends missed calls to me through my email quickly. It is amazing how poor the service can be but I think it is on...
