    Nook should be his new nickname. I wonder if he will be wearing women's underwear and breathing out of his eyelids too? And remember to throw punches with his glove hand?

    Because it is about the money. But so what? that's what they play for. ARod/Boras are floating a 262 million dollar number around. That is EXACTLY twice as much as the higest paid athlete in sports. According to Keith Olberman.

    http://www.rotoworld.com/Content/playernews.aspx?sport=MLB I would think that the trade would effectively put them out of the A-Rod sweapstakes, if they were ever in it to begin with. Watch out of Detriot next year.

    Wouldn't that be tampering?

    Just out of curiosity, how come...is it so they can't go after any other FA's? He's a player in decline and I don't think he'll stick at SS (maybe fore 1 year). Going forward which do you think is more likely - 06 or 07 ARod? In decline? Huh? He just had the best year of his 14 year career. ARod is quite simply not even close to a player that is in decline. A player in his mid 30's is in decline. He also has a higher probability of injury and collapse. Don't' get me wrong, ARod is awesome but 8/30 is a major commitment. ARod is not in his mid 30s. He's 31. If he does he'll be 39 at the end. Five is more like it with some options. Boras/ARod might be greedy but he/they are not stupid.

    Apparently, Theo sees Lowell as a "core" player and intends to resign him to a 3-4 year deal. That's per FOX on the game tonight. Obviously, ARod being available may change their thought process, but that has been their stance on Lowell thus far. Lowel is a product of the lineup. He's 33 and his numbers scream regression to the mean. Boston could do a lot worse, but they have the resources to take on A-Rod and let Lowell sign a fat contract elsewhere.

    I wonder if the Cubs could or would shop Aramis if they get ARod. They could probably get a good haul in return. Oh, the possiblities. I haven't been this excited since Nomar.
  8. CubinNY
    Boston is a real likelihood, IMO. They'd be like a video game team. Who could pay for him? Both LA teams Boston Cubs Mets Maybe the White Sox (K. Williams negotiating with Boras would be great) Thats about it.
  9. CubinNY
    Bad timing yes, but not out of the realm of possibility. A-Rod's contract would have to be seen as an asset. The question is how much of it can a club insure. If they can insure a good portion of his contract its more like buying a competitior than incurring debt. The problem is that the Cubs will likely sellout with or without A-Rod.
  10. CubinNY
    I know some Yankee fans that are approaching the ledge right now. First A-Rod, now this. Girardi might win in NY, but if they do it will be inspite of him not becuase of him.
  11. CubinNY
    The offseason just got a little more interesting. Sign A-Rod, see if he can play RF or SS. That's it. CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

    I don't think they are lowering it, just leveling it out. The story said that they are removing 14 inches of material, installing a drainage system, then adding 14 inches of material. yea, but where does it drain to? Have you thought about that? Into a 60,000 gallon reservoir and into the municipal system. They should use the reservoir to water the grass. I imagine it will be mostly empty most of the time though. It's kind of like having a dry well drainage system.

    It really is. For a brief period of time during my undergrad days I thought about going into landscape engineering, but unless you have deep pockets to begin with it's real hard to make any money.
  14. CubinNY
    Ronny is tearing it up. I really hope Lou lets him settle into SS, but I know that won't happen. I also hope he has matured a lot since 2006. I think I can remember Bruce saying something about Ronny loving the night life.
  15. CubinNY
    I think Wyatt is clearly the best defender the Cubs took. If Vitters is half as good as the hype he should be ready to play in Chicago inside of three years.
  16. CubinNY
    The Suntimes article is pretty damning to Dusty. What a character. It's like he says stuff and expects people to suddenly lose their memory or something.
  17. CubinNY
    What, you mean it might have had something to do that they only had three players that deserved a spot on a major league roster? He definately had some craptastic players. 1996 Cubs

    Only if he promises to make other parts of his body bleed when he pitches.

    It's apples and oranges. Baseball can never and will never have the interest of a 1 game winner-take-all format unless they adpot that format. I don't know what possible long term benefit having the first two games at a neutral site would have on a series, especially a 9 game series. The only likely one I could see is short term profit for the business in the host city. I don't know why anyone would expect Superbowl level of excitement for one game in a series, unless it was a game 7 (or 9). In theory I'd have no problem with a 9 game series but I suspect that ratings would plumet even further for the first two games (after the newness of the format wore off).
  20. CubinNY
    As do I.

    ugh this is all wrong Karen>Kelly>>Pam>>Jan>>>>Angela i really like kelly She'd be crazy in the sac.

    Dude, where do u get this stuff "The Matsuis haven't"....uhhhhh, the Matsuis were extremely productive this year, hideki has been great since he came over, and Kaz had a very good year too, thats just a stupid statement and its obvious that you just didnt look at the numbers before posting this. Kaz outhit Iguchi this year. You don' really think that Iguchi and Johjima were more productive that Hideki Matsui, do you? Come on, if your going to make bold statements don't contradict them with bad info. He said they were the exception. Reading is fundamental. Ummm... my bad.
