    It's just the way I see it. Manny is Sammy Sosa on the back end of his career all over again. We couldn't wait for Sammy to get moved. We'd be doing the same thing with Manny, IMO. Beltran is much younger and doesn't appear to be adapting to well to New York. I think he'd be awesome in Wrigley. I also like a balanced line up, and Manny doesn't provide that. Nomar, Aram, Lee and Manny all hit right handed. Beltran probably isn't even being shopped at this point, but he's still on my wish list. Dunn is the guy I'd like to see in left. Beltran has been playing hurt for most of the year. he has had a bad quad since late May. He doesn't talk about it much but it is affecting every ascpect of his game.

    No.

    Manny wil not propell the Mets to the WC. In fact this is a classic Met move that backfires. Manny is from Washington Heights. The distractions alone will decrease his production. The Mets still don't have a bullpen or a decent 4th or 5th starter. No, Manny is no Christ.

    No the board wouldn't. They would applaud Dusty for having a lucid thought. Neffi hasn't been a capable stopgap for well over two months. That is roughly 1/2 half the time Nomar has been injured. Try again

    JC get your tickets early :D

    With Dusty at the helm they're not that good. In fact, their record is just about right give or take a game or two. Get use to it.

    The article is complete garbage. A waste of bandwidth. On top of that it isn't even factual. Wood will not be the closer when he comes back, at least I haven't read that.

    I hope Jerry is right.

    Anyone else here this? I'm calling BS and saying this thread be locked in order to prevent another fiasco like last week's Dunn thread. I smell a troll. And my smeller is pretty good. I will retract everything if there is some independent confirmation.

    There is no way Soriano plays outfield for the Cubs. If he comes to Chicago it will be as a 2nd baseman. Again, he refused to go to the outfield while with the Yankees. That was part of the reason why he was traded. He has again refused to go to the outfiled with Texas. So I have to believe that if Soriano becomes a Cub that means Walker is headed elsewhere. However, as I stated earlier I think if a trade is made and the Cubs are part of it Soriano gets shipped out to the Mets for Floyd or Cameron.

    Houston is getting fat on weak teams or playing decent teams who are slumping. It won't hold up. That written, I think they may end up with a better record than the Cubs, but still not make the playoffs.
  12. CubinNY
    Right. I dont think Soriano suits up for the Cubs. Cliff Floyd is having a monster year and Hendry has already tried a couple of times to get him. And if we know anything about Hendry it is that he gets his man (much in the same way the paper boy in Better of Dead got his $5.00). I think Hendry flips Soriano, who both Randolph and Omar have nocturnal emissions over, for Floyd. That makes a little more sense to me. Soriano refused to go to the outfiled with the Yankees and Rangers I don't know why he would do it for the Cubs.

    It is becuase every internet message board needs it's own troll. He trolls this board all the time. All one has to do is look up ZZ Thorn's posting history. Pick a topic and he will take the opposite opinion of most everyone else and at the same time put his toes to the line of taboo, but not corss it, becuase he likes to argue. If people would ignore his inane contrary opinons he would stop posting all together. He should just change his screen name to Devil's advocate becuase IMO he doesn't even believe half the nonsense he posts.

    Ok, I'm glad Jeromy Burnitz is the Cubs RFer. There I said it. I cannot help but like the guy. He is playing hard every day and that is all I ask. Way to go Jeromy! I still miss Sammy

    Oh my Len, Michael Tucker. Matt Murton for Prez!

    over/under for how many people are posting in the "Dusty bad managerial thread" right now: 10 I'm taking the over

    I believe Kenny "fleece me" Williams is paying too much. Given the health of the pitching staff, I'm not sure if I'd give up that much pitching if I were the Cubs.
  19. CubinNY
    If Branyan is the floor for Sing or Dopirak, then I think the Cubs have two real good prospects on their hands. Now, which one do they keep in 2008?

    Murton

    CubinNY replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    I understand what you are saying but you also have to take into account the overall team the Cubs have. All things being equal I'd like to have power at every position, but as we all know that is not what the Cubs need. We have been harping about OBP all season when we haven't been harping on taking pitches or what terrible people LaTroy and Corey are. Long story short, Murton is exactly what the Cubs need right now. They need a guy to get on base infront of Lee et al. They don't need another Burnitz or similar player. Check that, a team always needs a big bopper but the issue at hand is OBP and Murton provides that.

    I was joking when I made that post Anyone see Dusty comments about Neffi yesterday? :evil: :shock: :evil:

    Murton

    CubinNY replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Murton has been given his shot he has excelled. End of the story. Todd meet bench. Bench, Todd. Get acquainted, you will be spending a lot of time together. That is what should happen. No platoon, and no comment needed. However, I'm sure Dusty has other ideas. It's a damn shame.
  23. CubinNY
    It is becuause he loves Hollandsworth. Holly has been here Gerut hasn't. Holly "knows" the NL pitchers. Holly filled in for Sammy last year. Holly never swears. Holly. Holly. Holly. That is why.

    Nomar becomes a back up to Neffi. "Dude's gotta stay fresh"-Ficticious Dusty quote. With Neffi's timely hitting the last two days the possiblity of Cedeno ever seeing the ball field is pretty slim.

    I had it last year and the year before and I have it this year. I don't think I'll get it next year. first, you really have to have a high speed connection. Next, you probably shouldn't have any other programs running b/c it will be real choppy. Yes, it opens with Media Player. I thought the technology would get better but it hasn't. As far as I can tell they haven't done anything to improve the performance. Normally I have to start and stop it several times over the course of a game. Now I just listen via MLB.radio. Not having WGN on cable sucks.
