    They bash everyone and everything there. Poor Hoops is the but of frequent jokes. It is what NSBB would be like if we didn't have people to control us.

    Ronny can do that playing left handed and hung over.

    Vance, Sometime in Social you have to tell us the story behind these pics.

    I've been with you since day one on this. To paraphrase Bill Clinton: It's the outfield, stupid! To parpharase Barbara Mandrell: I was for the outfiled when the outfiled wasn't cool. BTW, I love the Lousiana Lumberjack

    IMO this is not a bad thing. Cedno will be ok. What they have to do is work out a blockbuster for Abreu or some such difference maker in the outfield. It is not over yet. Furcal was not that much of an upgarde over Neifi or Ronny to warrant such a contract.
  7. CubinNY
    I agree.

    USSocer is spared the egnominy of having to by 103 cokes and sending them to the four corners of the earth.

    You keep saying this so I'll step up. NO, he is NOT worth 13 mil a year. But we aren't the ones offering him that much. We are offering 10 (TEN) TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN mil a year. Stop with this 13 nonsense. If the Dodgers want to offer that much then they can take him. Anyway, is he worth 10 (TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN), for the next 5 years? YES. Now, you tell me all the reasons why you think he is NOT worth 10 and I will rebute with why I think he IS worth 10. If you want an arguement, you got it. You begin. He is not worth 10 for 5 b/c he plays shortstop and is not a difference maker He not worth 10 for 5 b/c that is roughly 10% of of the budget he is not woth 10 for 5 b/c he will be not be able to carry the team He is not worth 10 for 5 b/c the Cubs have a guy who will produce a large fraction of his numbers for a small fraction of the price He is simply not a difference make and he wiill be the second highest paid Cub on the team The Cubs will have to give raises to Aramis, Lee, Prior, and Z in the next couple of years. The Cubs sign him to a 10 for 5 contract and one or two of those guys are not going to be around. He is not worth that amount of money. Your turn. Edit: the point is moot. But go on ahead if you really want to. I am interested in your thoughts.

    Don't ban yourself. I think of this like Gammons breaking a story. He doesn't ban himself from ESPN when he gets it wrong. FWIW I beielve you believe it is true. There is a difference between that and posting false stuff.

    Go to one of your cafe's in China if you don't want a free discussion of ideas. Furcal is hardly the best free agent available to the Cubs.
  13. CubinNY
    Hey I'm drinking here.
  14. CubinNY
    That would be me. Len told me earlier tonight that he's "100%" sure that Furcal is coming to the Cubs and it may not be announced until Monday. He is expected to sign mid-day Sunday. He also said Pierre is more than likely on the way. Did he give figures?
  15. CubinNY
    That is a Sammy like contract. I will fully expect him to carry the team 2 out of the next 4 years.
  16. CubinNY
    Okay, how has nobody pointed out that it's only as low as 78% because of one particularly bad year, and that it hasn't dipped below 82% in any year for the past three? b/c I capitualted a page or two back. Is he worth 13 mill year for the next 4?
  17. CubinNY
    I like him b/c his first name is Trot.
  18. CubinNY
    What will kill me is if Furcal signs with another team people will undoubtably say Hendry can't be blamed b/c he signed with another team. Although that is true he seemed to focus on this (depending on what else he does this off-season). I do think the Winter meetings will be a popin this year though.

    Hence the Booze? If it's Saturday it's booze and a bath whether I need it or not. Now let's talk about who we would spend 13 million dollars @ 4 years for: here is mine: Johan Santana Miggy Caberera Fat Albert Bonds (although I hate his steroids inflated numbers) Maybe Willis but he has to have another season David Wright if he contiunues to progress Big Z

    I hate tree trimming, hanging baubles and such and it is Saturday. My wife is having fun though.
  21. CubinNY
    I thought it was scoring runs? :lol: FWIW, and not to be a jerk, but it's Mea Culpa Thanks my spelling is bad and I am a bit tipsy.

    Ronny is murding the pitching in Venzeula this Winter. I'd say he is going to be able to fill SS if need be. Yeah, I'm glad he's hitting, but do you equate the Venezeula league with the majors? It is roughly the equavelent to AA and AAA. But more importantly it shows a consistent history of production. Certianly no guarentee that he will be good at the ML but at least a safe bet to be given a shot at an everyday position.

    What is the first thing that happens when you go to the doctor? Either the nurse or the doctor takes your vital signs weight pulse blood pressure Measurement is key in almost eveything. In medicine measurement is the key to success In business measurement is the key to success In education measurement is the key to success In baseball measuremnt is the key to success

    I never said he was a bum. He is a good SS but I think not worth 13 mill a year when the Cubs have a SS who can produce a large fraction of his output for a small fraction of his price. Let me ask you a question Do you go to the doctor? just bare with me, I promise not to insult you in any way.
