AND

Bill Madlock sounds right. Not sure about the second one so I'll punt and say Mark Grace.

I agree, it's most likely Madlock - the time is roughly correct and no way did he come from their minor league system (especially during the 70's).

Definitely Madlock. Is the second one Banks? He didn't take a ton of walks each year but he did play a long time.

And as far as the Madlock answer goes- I hate to be old enough to know the answer for sure but I still remember driving around in my friend's car when we heard the news.

Sosa?

trivia carpet bombing, I like your style. One of those is correct, the other is #3 on the list

I'm gonna go with Hack, mainly b/c 'hack' is the antithesis of taking a pitch!

The Rockies' World Series Ticket sale today suffered a total and complete meltdown. Heads should roll in the IT Dept. Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That's all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more.

cwtp: The Rockies’ World Series Ticket sale today suffered a total and complete meltdown. Heads should roll in the IT Dept. Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That’s all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more. Let's just say the server was not "sized" for this volume of ticket sales... lol.

"This morning, after more than 8.5 million hits on the Colorado Rockies website, Paciolan (Pack-ee-o-lan), Major League Baseball's ticket vendor, experienced a system wide outage that impacted all of its North American customers. As a result, the Colorado Rockies have suspended the sale of 2007 World Series tickets scheduled to be played at Coors Field." 8.5 million? okay...seriously...the ticket resale/scalping industry is WAY out of control if 8.5 million distinct IPs are hitting their servers. theyre already using a series of jamming tactics and hiring people for an hour or 2 on sale mornings... 8.5 million...geez... Paciolan dropped the ball there, but even taking in account "e-scalpers" i wonder who would produce numbers expecting 8.5m hits as a load estimate for the launch? damn...

CWTP: "Whatamess! Five hundred tickets sold. That’s all. Even mannytrillo could have sold more." HA HA Maybe I should put my resume in over there in Denver...:)

as of now the incident is supposedly an "external malicious attack"...aka lol internet.

You know what would end ticket scalping? Raising the prices of face value tickets.

Chad - it's hard enough to afford to go to a playoff game. Are you saying they should cost more?

Yes. It's called supply and demand I'll be damned if I'm not a BIG supporter of supply side economics.

Ticket scalping to some degree is like commodities speculation. If you Wrigley bought box seat tickets for September for $100 at that start of the season, by the end of the season you would be sitting pretty...unless the year was 2006. But I agree with Chad that if there are tickets that are always scalped for higher than their face value, then raising their prices would curb scalping. You can't apply that to all the Cubs tickets for a given season, though.

    can't wait to see what A-ball fringe corner OF/1st he'll be traded for...

    Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example. 

    Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster. 

    The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.

    excited to see more power in the lineup.

    HOU going with 3 righty starters vs the cubs and their only lefty pen arm is hader.

    unless busch has a mystery injury, we should see busch+mervis working all 3 games.

    More than 50 years ago (I'm old), I was in the audience when my HS choir performed the whole thing. (It was a really elite choir and director.) That was my first exposure to the piece. You're right, Sonicwind75, there is a lot more to it than "O Fortuna," just like there's a lot more to Beethoven's Ninth than the Ode to Joy, etc. Much if it, as you say, is bawdy: "O! O! Totus florio! Iam amori virginali, totus ardeo!" Basically, "I'm really horny for these virgins!" And the guys in the choir adopted the "Skoal"- type greeting from the tavern scene: "Wafna!"

    i would have pause if the cubs had a pitching squeeze.   as it is, they have more guys than they have roster.

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Yeah it is.....sorry......closers don't throw 89mph

    It would be unique for sure.

    But CP can't be HR susceptible

    That's what Alzolay has right now and that's what Kyle has no matter the situation.
