    No the Cubs couldn't. Gregg sucks ass. Nobody is going to give a quality prospect to get him except Hendry.

    I'd say USC? PAC-10 sucks this year USC was 5th of the 8. They played a good non-con schedule (Virginia, Ohio State, ND) to make up for some of the deficiency in the conference. Plus, UCLA hasn't factored into their schedule yet. I'm going to say Alabama.

    I don't think any team can stop OU's offense. LOL, the genius.
  4. CubinNY
    yes I was afraid of that.

    Is Jose Ceda the guy the Cubs traded for Kevin Gregg?
  6. CubinNY
    Dusty reads NSBB?

    He's a Sox fan If I were a Coke fan and bought the Pepsi company, I would probably convert to a Pepsi fan pretty quickly. Bad comparison. Unless you're one of those Coke drinkers that devotes hours a day to the cause... whomever buys the Cubs will be a fan. I think we have to hope that whoever he/she/they are, are smart enough to hire people who aren't mired in traditional baseball thinking after Hendry is gone.

    They have some of the best cricket players in the world, it stands to reason that there would be some baseball talent around. I think they specialize in spin bowlers (pitchers) though. A spin bowler is sort of a breaking ball pitcher.

    This argument is similar to what I heard around Knoxville the past few years that Fulmer has done a worse coaching job recently because he's gotten a little fatter. No offense, but it's rather silly. Just because the man is fat and looks a little lazy doesn't mean he's not motivated to win - he just doesn't show intensity on the outside and he's not in great shape. Interestingly, I've never heard anybody say Mike Leach is unmotivated, yet he's fat and doesn't appear to be extremely intense. my comment has nothing to do with his girth.

    Charlie Weis starts every day before 5 am and has recruited three straight great classes to Notre Dame. But yeah, he's lazy. I'll just assume you have some inside info, but what does getting up at 5am have to do with anything? The results speak for themselves. With all the supposed talent he can't win.
  12. CubinNY
    Weis's main problem is that he's not motivated himself. He looks lazy and his teams play that way.

    Marquis has value to a team that needs a bottom of the rotation starter and isn't strapped for cash. That leaves out a lot of teams though. I'd think he'd be on the block for the third team. I'm thinking nothing is going to get done with Peavey until the free agency period gets sorted out. If the Yankees or another contending team needs another starter and they have some mid level minor league starting pitching that is pretty good that may be the Ménage à trois the Cubs need.

    I don't think he's in the hunt any longer not matter what happens. However, his only hope is to get this cleared up as soon as possible. He either needs to admit to a mistake and pay the fine (its not a criminal offense, yet) or to get the hearing moved up to ASAP. It's terrible timing for something that happened two years ago, but he had to know it was coming.

    What do the Floridas, Washingtons, San Franciscos, hell even the Pittsburghs really care? Even a good team in the NL shouldn't care if the GM is making the deal to make his team better.

    Baseball also has a season (roughly) twice as long as the other bigs. There should be significantly less teams. I'd bet a lot of money that in my lifetime there will be playoff expansion. I'll argue against it every step of the way. I tend to agree. There is no reason that a 84 win team that hasn't won it's division should be in a "playoff" for who is the best team in MLB. They've proved over the course of 162 games that they shouldn't be in the discussion. It gets a little dicy when a team that hasn't won it's division but has a better record than a team who has and is left out though. I guess the only way to correct that is to go to a two team playoff. The World Series winner should be the best team or close to it, not the team playing the best at the end of the year (or for 13 games).

    I don't think Scarlett Johannsen is attractive.
  18. CubinNY
    Holy christ, no.

    Does anyone know the accuracy of any of these forecasting instruments? I'm not sure they are worth the time it takes to do them.
  20. CubinNY
    Judging from the following he's had in the games I went to I'd say the answer to that question is a resounding yes. I'm sure his teammates have also enjoyed the overflow too.
  21. CubinNY
    That's how a feel too.

    http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/111808dnbuscuban.1c00744a4.html They're going for the political attack angle. If I'm Cuban I pay the fine and move on with my life. It looks like a pretty clear case of adventitious inside information being used here. I sounds like Cuban sunk a bunch of money in this internet venture and then when they came back asking for more and using the method they did he tried to wash his hands of the entire business. The problem is it is not fair to all the other investors.
  23. CubinNY
    That's crazy. Where would you get this idea from?
  24. CubinNY
    We'll deserved.

    It's my understanding that Peavy doesn't wish/need to be traded. It's the Padres who have to get rid of him. He's going to get traded, it just matters to whom and for what. Both the Braves and the Cubs know this and so does every other team too. For the life of me I cannot understand why Towers didn't pull the trigger with the Braves unless Peavy really did tell them he wouldn't go (DonnieD's info). Anyway, The Cubs offer is pretty bad for a pitcher of his calibre, but if they're patient they just might get him, at least I'm hoping so.
