  1. Could be the day for a multi-pitcher no hitter though. That would be very Cubs like. They can't do anything properly
  2. Harrison Bergeron? 10 cyber dollars for anyone who gets this reference. Vonnegut Yes. Society dictated that everyone had to be equal. Pay up! the check is in the cyber mail. There's a high probability it will get lost. You know the internets are awfully complicated.

  5. Cabrera is eligible for arbitration after this season. That 350K will skyrocket. Just because they own his rights does not mean they can keep him. Florida has a 15 mil payroll theis year. Being a first year arbitration eligible player he will get about 4 mil at most. There is no financial burden to Florida. They won't be dumping salary for him. You obviously aren't well acquainted with Jeff Loria. They have to keep salary low so they are more attractive to move. 4 mill is almost 1/3 of the team's payroll.
  6. Yes. And then Dusty called for a hit and run and Barrett threw his bat at the ball and the utter stupidiity of it shocked everybody so much Giles made a crappy throw to 2nd. Everydody safe. Everybody wins. Go Cubs !
  7. Bynum and Neifi Perez on the field at the same time creates a negative run vortex that sucks everyone in. We need to come up with a fancy-shamcy scientific name for that theory. Stupidity. It's a technical term. Hit and Run?
  8. For the love of Babe Ruth, Barrett bunting again?
  9. You have to love Z's hacks at the plate He dosen't get cheated. He doesn't make contact much, but at least he doesn't get cheated.
  10. Tangotiger, Me again. Do you think the world of fantasy baseball has had any impact on the way an MLB team makes personnel decisons. Thanks again. CubinNY.
  11. Tangotiger, Athough much more lip service is paid to the scientific method in baseball analysis (at least in the popular media) it seems to me that most teams still use mostly traditional methods to make personnel decisions. Would you agree or disagree with that and why? Thanks.
  12. he gave him 3 years cause other teams were offering him 2 and he didn't want encanarcion, sanders and burnitz. sure he likes him, but he doesn't "covet" Jones-types. that's absurd. he covets beltran-types, but the trib doesn't covet 7yr and 119 contracts. What is absurd is the fact that it's true that Hendry likes Jones type players. It's painfully obvious to anybody that has paid attention to Hendry moves and/or listened to what he says he likes in a player. so flip flopping on the coveting charge? jones hasn't sucked like many predicted. calm down. What? How am I flip flopping? Man, you really like acting like a jerk don't you. Hendry covets this type of player. He's happy as a pig in spit that he got him and he's going to keep him. another in a long line of over-the-top statements. Yeah, nothing is more over the top then basing your arguments on trends and information. Ooh, don't forget that common sense sometimes helps. As do direct quotes from Hendry.
  13. What is wrong with Zambrano? This could get ugly real quick.
  14. This is just the spark the Cubs need. Cedeno Sox Neifi at SS Tony at 2nd and playoffs here we come. Yes!!!!1111!!!!1!1111111111!!!!!!1111!
  15. I know. And it was so good when Teddy Greenstien did it. I wish Teddy still covered the Cubs, he actually took his job seriously and wrote good insigtfull articles.
  16. I am almost postive that somone has already written this but it will be Dusty's extension.
  17. It sounds as if Baker has a lot of say in roster decisions. It disturbs me too. But the really disturbing part is that this is making news. Womack IS Neifi Perez. This just the shot in the arm this team needs. More washed up veterans.
  18. "It wasn't as hot as it was supposed to be this week. And I think the grass is a little long. But, you got to go out there and compete anyway."
  19. That would put the Cubs in the top 10 of worst teams ever. Hey, it's something to shoot for!
  20. Oh, I'm borderline MR from following the Cubs since childhood.
  21. That's a pretty incriminating list, right there. I forgot to mention: watch his team get worse every year since he has taken over. I know they had one more win in 04 then in 03 but they didn't make the playoffs and melted against two of the worst teams in the league in the final week of the season.
  22. Sorry. It's not your fault I'm a dumbass. It's not your fault that you didn't read the thread. Actually it is to your benefit that you weren't exposed to it. I lost three IQ points simply by clicking on it.
