    It is simply amazing to me that an organization that has gotten progressively worse over the past two seasons has done nothing. I guess they really must believe that injuries are the root cause of the problems with this team. Andy MacPhail = Nero

    funny, from what i've read the phillies wish they didnt sign him to a no trade clause so they could trade abreu. I'm just shocked by that. He's one of the top 10 players in the game. Philly fans booed Mike Schmidt the first five seasons he played for the team. The Phillies got rid of a yong Rolen after a bad season and a half. They are not the smartest organization in baseball. But then again neither have the Cubs.

    At best one, at worst three! :stickman: you guys/girls who haven't joined premium are missing a very funny skickman staggering and falling down.

    No Theo didn't mess up. Sometimes it best just to part ways. Pedro was more of a distraction than anything else. And he was using Boston to get the best deal he could get. NY way overpaid for his services.

    What are Guzman's problems? I mean why is he getting injured? If it is mechanical, solve them or trade him for what you can get because he will never be healthy. If it is happening when he gets tired and his mechanics break down, build up his arm strength/endurance, put him in the pen, or trade him for whatever you can get. But solve his problems. Injuries don't just happen, they occur for a reason. Find out what that reason is, fix it or get rid of him. I don't care how dominating he can be. He cannot stay healthy. he is no good if he can't pitch.

    Sox fans don't need a reason to be livid. Most are livid all the time and drunk or high frequently too. They already have a chip on their shoulder regarding the Cubs so this should be nothing new to them. J.R., you must be very depressed. I feel for you man. As for me, I kind of hope the Sox win the World Series. Maybe, just maybe it will have an effect on the Tribune. Maybe after the WS they will rethink giving Dusty an extension. Maybe Hendry will rethink his love of tools over production. Maybe, but I doubt it.

    The Cubs have something in their hand but it's not a bird, and it most definitely is broke. I would not consider a trade of the studs if this team was coming off back to back 90+ win seasons, but this team sucks. Anything to improve them should be done. Would you trade ARam for Wilkerson and Hernandez and re-sign Nomar to play 3rd? No way. Yes. I would too. Interesting, I thought I would be in the minority on this one. I would entertain trade offers for Aramis too and see what I could get. If I couldn't get a young stud pitcher or difference maker position player I would hang on to him.

Would you trade ARam for Wilkerson and Hernandez and re-sign Nomar to play 3rd? I wouldn't. As much as I like Wilkerson, he's a huge downgrade from ARam. Nomar's still as likely to get hurt. And there are only handful of pitchers I would trade Ram for......Livan ain't one of them. Would you (or anyone) trade Zambrano for Miguel Cabrera.

    I'm beginning to think that that is what is going to happen too. Damon will go to the Yankees or Angels. Beltran will become Boston's CF. Cliff Floyd coming here. So Hoops, 3 minutes after you said we'd be going for a RF or CF, you say Cliff Floyd is coming here? :scratch: Actually my source thinks we're going after a RF AND CF. As for Floyd, I think if Hendry brings him here, it will be to play RF. Hendry has been after Floyd for a couple of years now. As we saw with Barrett and Burnitz when he goes after someone he usually gets them sooner or later. The Cubs could do a lot worse than Floyd in RF. But he is such a streaky type hitter I worry about his prolonged slumps given the over state of the offense as it stands now.

    The media and fans are all over Carlos here. the NY media/fans can be quite narcisistic. I've heard stuff like, "He is not a NY type player. He can't handle playing in NY. blah, blah, blah. They forget he played most of the season with a bad quad. Much like Aramis. The strangest thing is that there are many Yankee fans who can't stand A-Rod.

    Manny will be a Met, you can book it. Carlos Beltran to the Red Sox, Manny to the Mets.

    CP20, We can't totally ignore what Ted is saying, though. 2005 Pre-All Star .307 .428 .526 .954 (18 home runs and 58 rbis) 2005 Post-All Star .260 .376 .411 .787 (6 hrs and 44 rbis) Hoops Someone mentioned that his fiance got caught on tape making the beast with two backs with some Latin heart-throb down Peurto Rico way right around the ASB. I think my numbers might go into the crapper too.

    Abreu for the season: .286/.405/.474/.879 w/ Runners On: .305/.426/.505/.931 w/ RISP: .303/.444/.500/.944 w/ Bases Loaded: .294/.333/.824/1.157 Close and Late: .298/.422/.571/.993 Abreu for his career: .303/.411/.512/.923 w/ Runners On: .327/.443/.540/.983 w/ RISP: .321/.454/.549/1.003 w/ Bases Loaded: .330/.403/.585/.988 Close and Late not available for his career Nice post, stat geek :wink: As Richard Prior once said -Who you gonna believe, me or your lieing eyes? I think I'll take Abreu numbers "when the game is on the line".

    And every year since 2003 the team has gotten worse. Hendry is very savvy. EDIT: In terms of post season and record. Prior & Wood were healthy in 2003. Most teams couldn't withstand their #1 and #2 going down two years in a row. Oh for the love of all things good and decent. Injuries are not the reason the Cubs have not gotten better. Nomar and Walker missing 150 games didn't help matters. If the Cubs bring both back, they're in BIG trouble again. If you foresaw Patterson having a .600 ops year, you should get some type of NSBB prize. A t-shirt or something. :o I thought it was Prior and Wood's injuries that ruinded 04 and 05. Now it's Nomar and Walker. I see, triangulation is ever so important when making a point.

    Reinsdorf wants a new stadium? Isn't the Cellblock only 15 years old? If he does, I hope he is putting up all the money.
  18. CubinNY
    It seems like new ownership wants to go on a different direction. From what I have read here and other places LaMar sounded like one crazy dude. Who knows, maybe not playing the kids this year POed ownership as well. There have been grumblings that ownership is on Upton and Young being kept in the minors so the Devil Rays can have control of them longer. Who knows what's going on with the Rays? There ought to be a rule against that. I don't know how it could be enforced though.

    I could be wrong but I think it is the day after the last game of the WS.

    With the current brain trust at Clark and Addison we are living a Cub fan's worst nightmere.
  23. CubinNY
    And what in Hendry's track record leads you to that conclusion? Letting Alou walk and trading Sammy for peanuts with Dubios and Hollandsworth waiting in the wings? He had to way overbid Pittsburg for the stellar services of Jeromy Burnitz a few weeks before ST. Or was it his masterful job of trading Farnsworth for nothing and Juan Cruz for Andy Pratt? Or perhaps it was his leaving a young enigmatic left handed reliver open to be a rule 5 draft pick.

    Not Gomes, but maybe Huff.
  25. CubinNY
    Neifi will be back, you can bank on it. Nomar will be gone, as will Walker and Macias. Rusch will go too. Some team will be willing to overpay for him. Burnitz is gone.
