fuck the cubs. We teed off all your pitchers and took both series at that toilet dump of a stadium this year. Harden is over rated anyways. Have fun signing his checks while he's on the DL. You basically re-signed a Mark Prior. Cubs Useless By September. I love how excited and hyped you all are. I can't wait to see your tears

Hated to see him go but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm glad he is happy in Milwaukee with his wanting to bat. Good luck CC.

His short stint in Milwaukee was his best performance of his career statistically! Wish we still had him, what a player!

ESPN's Peter Gammons believes the Angels and Red Sox have joined the Yankees and Brewers in making offers to CC Sabathia.

Of course, he also believes Oliver Perez could still accept arbitration from the Mets (plus, he has John Kruk saying it now). Gammons adds that he doesn't necessarily see the Angels going to six years for Sabathia. He acknowledges that the Yankees are still in it, and he expects the Giants to make their bid sooner or later.

Brad Lidge isn't even close. The guy pitches 1 inning of baseball at a time, it's easy to go out there and throw as hard as you want for 20-30 pitches on a bad night. Sorry, but if you end the year with 60-70 innings pitched, you shouldn't even be considered for Cy Young.
