    Which is why they should just give him a shot and let him play. He either adjusts or he doesn't. I tend to think his track record in AAA is more indicative of his potential than his performance in the winter league. Unfortunately, for us and the Cubs Hendry cannot put a quality team together to withstand the inevitable adjustment period that most young players go through when stepping up to the big leagues.

    I love the fact that MissouriFan dude is wearing a $10 swatch/watch. That, his pasty whiteness, and the acne are are so apropos.

    I hope that is the line-up for Tennessee. I'd love to see that team in person. I see road trips to Nashville, Jackson this summer. Maybe Severville too.

    What about the debate of why we're going after Kaz Matsui to begin with? ](*,) It is almost as if DeRosa doesn't exist at all on the Cubs roster. I really cannot see any other reason to go after The Great Kazou except to lure Fukudome. If the former happens and not the latter that is real bad. If both happens it is just plain bad. If the latter happens and not the former, that is great.

    Now we're talking.

    I think they will try DeRosa in RF. God forbid Murton should play.

    You shut off your computer right now.

    Bruce, If you are still here, can you tell us the thought process Hendry is using to go after yet another mediocre to terrible middle infielder? I mean, has anyone connected with the Cubs provided a reason why they are targeting such a redundant player?
  9. CubinNY
    Hendry's going to build us another winner with these brilliant movies of his.
  10. CubinNY
    And then proceeded to still employ Jim Hendry. I'm glad he's gone. Hopefully, Hendry will soon follow.

    Jesse James, noted slave owner and pro-slavery sympathizer. Also, like most Missourians, a man who enjoyed a bit of incest, IIRC. Now that is some good smack talk. Or is it trash talk?

    Still got it wrong. :P Try it with... http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/3369/cisforfh2.gif Nope. queue. Nope. Cue My spelling is that of a not-so-well educated 3rd grader, but my vocabulary is pretty good. A queue is a line of people A cue is an antecedent to respond O_O wins

    If the Cubs get him I am trademarking the name: "The Great Kazuo" TM The Great Gazoo

    I'm still waiting to read some smack talk. What they hell is a J-hawk anyway? And what about those red-legs? What is the matter with Kansas? The only thing dumber than a mizzou grad is a bag of hammers. There.
  15. CubinNY
    Is this smack talk or trash talk?

    The question is why should it be a banned substance? It's a bigger issue than sports though. The puppets that control most legislators want to invade the privacy of the average worker for no good reason. Well, the reason is actually a good one, they can keep wages low and workers scared. I know of no evidence that shows drug testing increases productivity or results in fewer work related accidents. It is however, good for the bottom line especially when the worker has to pay for the drug test. If a guy is doing drugs at work or comes in high, fine fire him. The same is true if he's drinking. But what a person does on his or her own time is their own business and has no bearing on work unless the said drug is a PED.

    Link So, The Cubs are trading Murton Dempster Marshall Cedeno Ohman For Church and Drew? Not out of the realm of possibility, but that seems like a lot to give up.
  18. CubinNY
    That would be awesome. Hendry could pay them in bums who hang around Wrigley. I imagine that Ronny Woo Woo would be first.
  19. CubinNY
    What is the fetish with LH hitting? The Cubs desperately need players who can get on base. They desperately need a difference maker. It does not particularly matter what side of the plate he hits from. Someone please explain to me the need for a lefthanded power bat. Is it baseball conventional wisdom? Is it a ture need? I'm I going crazy?
  20. CubinNY
    Yes he can. What bigger trade can the Cubs make without making them worse? If they trade Lee, Aramis, Z, or Hill at best they can hope to get the same level of potential production. None of the prospects are all that attractive, except for Pie (who doesn't love Pie?). They don't have a whole lot to bargin with. Who are they going to get with DeRosa + prospects? Marmol + prospects? DeRosaa + Marmol + prospects? Why does Fukudome need a caddy? Honestly I don't pretend to know other than it's fun to speculate what they can get for X and Y players. There are other GMs and scouts that may see something in a Cub player young or old that would help their team. Somebody could be making a salary dump that we don't know about and Hendry does and he's involved in talks with them and has to acquire a player first (possibly Matsui) to cover himself. I'm not a big Hendry fan but this just doesn't add up. I agree. But a lot of what Hendry does doesn't add up. It seems to me that he is the eternal optimist, always preparing for the best case and not recognizing the worst case. If the price of Fukudome (who is 30 BTW) includes Kaz Matusi for 3 years that price is too high, IMO>

    I would feel better about dealing Lee if the Cubs had: A) another power bat B) Someone capeable of playing 1st base who wasn't out of positon C) higher team OBP Lee is more important to the Cubs than he would be to most other teams for reasons A and C.

    I don't see how that disqualifies Army-Navy. There are all kinds of repercussions outside of the game that occur all of the planet (wherever Army and Navy people are stationed) that don't have anything to do with the beauty contest people call the BCS. Army-Navy transcends the sport more than any other single sporting event transcends its sport except for the World Cup Socer final.

    What in God's green earth are the Cubs going to do with five middle infielders? I think someone mentioned this yesterday; If Fukudome needs a baby tender that much the Cubs could hire him a personal assistant for $75 K (that's about 200,000,000 yen). Jesu Christi, I the Cubs annoy me. Seriously, this has to be the dumbest move in the long line of dumb moves exhibited by Hendry (if it is true).

    A university of Memphis football player was shot and killed in his car by his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend and two others. He had @$10,000 on him at the time. Supposedly from casino winnings.
