    Go back and re-read his first post. That is not the media He didn't say it was a rumor. How can you stick up for this moron? I would encourage you to go back and re-read his posts. He was a troll. Crap like this happens every year. I'm surprised that people who have been here for a long time fell for it. He was good, but not that good.

    Once again Stone is a first guesser and not a second guesser.

    With all due respect, Mr. Miles reads this website on an almost daily basis and sometimes we are lucky enough to have him talk baseball with us. Bruce is at the game right now. And he thought enough of this website to quell the stupid rumor before anymore of us went crazy with speculation and anticipation. He is one hellofa nice guy.

    Marty Brennaman actually asked a GM about an internet message board rumor? If you think about it, that actually lends credibility to SweetEmotion. I personally doubt that the Reds broadcasters follow a Cubs MB. They could have heard the same rumor that SE heard. Anything's possible. Either way, it doesn't look like a deal's gonna happen but at least something has confirmed SE. Yeah, that's true. Or maybe Bruce was on here earlier (which he was but didn't post) and read the rumor, spoke to Hendry and spoke to Marty. This thing was bogus from post #1. Classic troll tactics only wrapped up a little more sophisticatedly.

    Oh boy, this should spark at least 28 more pages by tomorrow evening. exactly. I vote to lock it until tomorrow evening.

    Which uni is Dunn in? I kid, I kid O:)

    I hope I'm wrong about this but there are a lot of 1 to 5 post, posters (people who post) posting (that has to be a record) in this thread. I smell a rat or two. I think we are being scammed by a group of trolls.

    What we need is a good old fashioned Daniel Stern loyalty quiz ala Diner for this dude. So far he doesn't pass the smell test IMO.

    There is already one stinking thread about Pierre. Do we need another one??

    If he is a troll (and I too suspect he is), the mere fact that his post has generated 10+ pages should be enough for him to get his jollies. I'm sure he has e-mailed his friends and they are getting a nice laugh over all the speculation. I propose that if any new person (50 posts or less) posts a "breaking news" post that it be immediately locked. If the trade comes to fruition then un-lock and heep praise.

    Don't take this the wrong way, but six commas on one sentence has gotta be some sort of record. ;) Quite a nice rate stat BK! :D

    I will believe it when I see it. This is one of those too-good-to-be-true info-mercials. "I made $345,000 last year buying and selling realestate with no money down". No offense, but this guy's first post here and he posts this. Yeah right. Then again I was poo-pooing the Nomar trade up until it actually happened, so you never know. I vote to ban him now and if the trade happens unban him and make him king of transactions usurping Hoops. The king is dead! Long live the king!
  13. CubinNY
    Faith no. Hope yes. At best he has a mixed track record so I sit and hope.

    If that is the deal I'd say the Angelos is grasping for this year badly. Ward is not that good and Burnett although a better than average pitcher is injury prone. On the other side they give up some pretty big upside potential guys in Bigbie and Penn. I feel bad for Lowell he grew up in Miami and went to FIU. Now he goes to Pittsburgh. I think the Pirates got an ok deal, turning Redman and Ward into Lowell and Reed. Obviously I think the Marlins did pretty well in this deal. Although it appears they are looking to the near future now. Oh well, at least they got something for Burnett. If this deal goes down I wouldn't be surprized to see McKeon shown the door too.

    Well they make a good comparison to Raffy's swing vs. Sosa's. No they don't actually. That article is a piece of drivel worthy of wrapping fish and not much else. Sammy is not getting the job done, end of the story. I don't know why people feel the need to vilify the man too. Same goes with Patterson. It wasn't enough that he was mired in a season long slump, people had to make him out to be a terrible person too. But hey, if it makes you happy....
  16. CubinNY
    Just to clarify. I agree with Rocket Sauce. I don't know what Roast thinks. Thanks :D
  17. CubinNY
    Roast.... you are aware that Cincinnati has outscored us 458-427 so far this season ?? Like I said before. The Cubs lineup + Dunn > The Reds lineup + Dunn The Reds have scored exactly 458 runs The Cubs have scored exactly 427 runs Dunn has 54 RBI you do the math I agree with Roast.

    Patterson is 25, twenty-five. Through no fault of his own, he has had to learn the game at the major league level. He may never live up to his potential, but right now in AAA he is a better center fielder than Pierre.
  19. CubinNY
    jjgman21 your logic is fascinating.
  20. CubinNY
    Ha! :P My wife just asked me what I was laughing at.
  21. CubinNY
    Ugh! If Mo came back we'd all be subjected to endless, "he's on a break posts". They were funny for about 2 minutes and then just became annoying. No Mo no more, that's my mantra. The guy was the king of GDIP and ran the bases like a directionally challenged 6 year old. Did I mention he was terrible in the OF too?
  22. CubinNY
    One more time for those that missed it. I think I'll post it on each new page. Pierre's CS more than negate his OBP % and he does not play a good CF. His one talent is bunting.
  23. CubinNY
    This reminds me of the "We need Kenny Lofton back" threads. The Cubs scored no more runs after they got Loften then before he came. The Cubs don't need Juan and his crooked hat wearing self. His OBP is negated by his CS and he doesn't play "smart" baseball. His one talent is bunting, and that talent is not worth his salary or the prospects it would take to get him, IMO.

    I heard alot of this at the end of May before the Cubs went to the west coast. back then, the Dodgers were considered an upper echelon team. we swept them, and a couple weeks later, we stopped counting them as one of the good teams. now the same thing is happening all over again. two weeks ago, many here would have considered the Marlins an upper echelon team. they had won 10 of 15 entering the Cubs series. we sweep them, and all of a sudden they are considered not so good. whether a team is upper echelon or not and how we play against them is too fluid to use as a measure of how good the Cubs have/can play. plus, by most definitions, there aren't any upper echelon teams left on the Cubs schedule besides quite a few games against the Cards and a Braves series. unless by the time we play the Dodgers, Astros and Marlins again, they'll be back up to upper echelon status? I guess what I am saying is there is alot of discounting how good a team is when we beat them, and alot of inflating a team when we lose to them. The Cubs are 13-18 against .500 and > teams in the NL*. That is not so good. They can beat up the Pittsburgh and Dodgers of this year, that doesn't make them good, only medicore. Note: I didn't include Bos, NY, or the W. Sox (if I had the numbers would be much worse)

    The Cubs have 13 days to show if they are for real. They cannot count on Nomar or Williamson to help much. I'm not saying Normar or Scott can't or won't, I'm saying the Cubs shouldn't bank on it. That means between now and two Sunday's from now Hendry has to make a trade for an impact bat and maybe some bullpen help if he thinks the Cubs have a real shot. Both of those comidities are in short supply. I hope Hendry can pull it off without gutting the farm. At the same time, I don't know that he should even try given this team's terrible play against better than mediocre teams.
