  1. Cards are comming unglued. and Moran is making excuses for the best defensive third baseman ever. Pagan is fast.
  2. Just can't underestimate the importance of slow guys jacking HRs Jock with another hit!
  3. Even though he has no idea how correct he really is.
  4. No kidding. I though Barrett set up late. Molina hops around like he has jock itch.
  5. Lee's going to hit a double in the gap and tie up this game. Hairston to third on a WP
  6. Wuertz's ABs against Pujols and Rolen aside, agreed. He was probably rusty after sitting on the bench for over a week.
  7. Jerome has looked good tonight. So far the bullpen has been as good as advertised.
  8. At least Edmonds has looked awful. Guess all the cold showers have got him off his game.
  9. At least the crowd is upset. "he looked bad that's why he got rung up." What a genius.
  10. Winner of "stupidest" comment of the night so far: What the hell does that mean? Anyone, anyone?
  11. The asphalt parking lot is a better ballpark then Shea.
  12. The best rant ever! One can almost hear the spit flying out of his mouth.
  13. I think some managers work off of a series of one year contracts, but I could be wrong. My current belief is that Dusty doesn't really want to be in Chicago. However, if the Cubs do well anything is possible.
  14. Six more weeks of this and the Cubs may have a new right fielder. Come on Felix, learn a lot and get better quick.
  15. I like Diaz but I don't think he is a difference maker. He is also a guy without a position. They've tried him everywhere and he has stunk it up in the field. I do think he is a Chicagoan though.
  16. Regardless, I think Philadelphia will be thinking about rebuilding. I don't think high dollar players will be want they want. I think they will want top notch ready-to-contribute young players.
  17. Give me a break. Pitching has not been the problem with this team, its been offense. It has alwys been offense, last year the Cubs were near the top in HRs, SLG, and BA. And only in the middle of the pack in runs scored. Same in 2003 and 2004. The Cubs have the pitching to win, but not the offense. So are you saying the Cubs shouldn't try to upgrade? That is pretty assinine. Yeah, we'll trade some surplus pitching for Abreu. I'm sure they'll take a package of Marshall and Hill for Abreu. Offense doesn't win division titles. Pitching does. yep. so if you have a chance to upgrade your offense you shouldn't even do it. You really think we can upgrade the offense w/o downgrading some other element of our team? We don't live in fantasy land. Philly will get something valuable in return, not a bunch of minor league leftovers that could beat out Rusch and Williamson for a rotation spot. Fatasy land? No one in this thread has suggested that the Cubs trade "surplus" pitching. As I wrote in the very first post, it will take the best the Cubs have to offer. I also posed the question, do the Cubs have enough? I don't think anyone would advocte trading Zambrano or Prior. I certianly am not. How hard is it to answer, no?
  18. Give me a break. Pitching has not been the problem with this team, its been offense. It has alwys been offense, last year the Cubs were near the top in HRs, SLG, and BA.

That is pretty assinine. That's true, but I'd also argue that having Wood, Prior, and Miller for five months each would be more beneficial to the team than upgrading from Jones to Abreu for two. That is not the point here. I will stipulate that having good starting pitching is more important than a upgrade in RF. However, since 2003 in losing streaks of 4 or more games (46 games total) the Cubs averaged 2.8 runs. This includes six shut outs and nine games where they scored only 1 run. In other words, in 32% of those games the Cubs scored 1 run or less. The percantage goes up to 41% if we bump that up to two runs or less. The question is if Abreu is available, do the Cubs have enough young talent to get him? It is much easier to accept an answer of no rather than a non secuitor, of ptiching will win.

  20. I was going to put this in the Caberra thread but I didn't want to hijack. With Philadelphia's pitching they have the makings of falling out of he race quickly. Therefore, I'd say it is much more likely that Abreu gets traded around the deadline than Caberrra. The question is: do the Cubs have enough young pitching talent get him? What a beautiful dream: Pierre Walker Lee Rameriz Abreu Murton Barrett Cedeno Pitcher The run socring potential is huge there. Who to give up? Hill Marshall Guzman Pie Ghallager Momrol I am sure Philly will be holding out for **** players
