Stanton Walk-Off Grand Slam Seals Comeback Win Vs. Mets to Take Series; 8-4

[Party]

Maybe, but there were indications early on that the Cubs were willing to pay most of his salary to move him. How much of a sell job Beinfest had to do on Volstad, we'll never really know. Saying he played a big part in how much money the Cubs eventually paid is like saying he played no part at all. Unless something comes out, your guess is as good as mine.

Zambrano to Miami doesn't happen if Guillen isn't here.

I would say they had an equal part. I'm sure Ozzie had to sell Zambrano to Beinfest too.

[Party]

And I don't think anyone can hold it against Beinfest if Ozzie had to sell him on Zambrano. Dude was bringing a lot of baggage.

[Mainge]

Then we can definitely give him a pass on Bell, because of the whole Loria <3s Bell thing.

[Party]

Most definitely. MB and JR are Beinberg guys. HB is a Loria guy.

[Bobbob1313]

I'm sure that will be the way we approach that inevitable discussion.

Daft.

Hey, back off, he got the win.

He's basically Tim Tebow

When Stanton hit the grand slam, I was literally splooging all over the place. A class 5 free floating vapor. Real nasty too.

[Beef]

I lowelled out loud each time the homerun thing went off.

There was an article before saying that the Marlins offered Ceda but that the Cubs wanted Volstad.

I'm actually really interested to see how they draft this year.

Jay, Baseball America's first mock had the Marlins taking righty Marcus Stroman out of Duke. I saw him pitch against NC State. We got the best of him (4 runs given up) but he still had 10 strikeouts. He has a filthy slider. He's 5-5 with a 2.18 in 13 starts and a 127/24 K/BB ratio on a horrible Blue Devils squad.

[Beef]

He means he wants to see who we really draft

[Miamarlin21]

I know what he meant, I was just saying, never mind.
