    Cuban says a lot of stuff. I'm guessing this is one of those instances where he is just spouting off. Having said that, it would be interesting to ponder. He'd be like another Steinbrenner, not that there is anything wrong with that. However, I don't think the exclusive club of billionaires and near-billionaires that currently make up the ownership of MLB would allow a guy like him to buy a team.

    Thanks for answering our questions. Jeff, how much do you think it hurts your dad that he is not in the Hall of Fame? And tell your dad we all love him and wish him well. CubinNY

    I voted no for three reasons. 1. It means Corey is really done 2. It means the Cubs are really done 3. He is not that good yet. But he may be some day.

    Those words were reportedly uttered by Andre Dawson after the Cubs trade Rapheal Palmerio instead of Mark Grace. Now, Palmerio is set to join Aaron, Mays, and Murry in the 3,000 hit 500 homer Club. Meanwhile, Mark grace is set to join Thom (who spells Tom with an h anyway?) Brenneman in the TV Booth. My question to you my Cub brothern (and sisteren) is was the Hawk correct?

    Would be interested to see what we could do with that. With Wang going on the DL could we see: Patterson and Rusch + prospect for Sheffield I doubt it because the Yankees are contending now and Rusch doesnt seem like the impact pitcher that the Yankees would be looking for. But it's worth thinking about Well wang is out so the Yankees ain't getting AJ. I think Raw discussed a three way with the Yanks and Reds that would net the Cubs Dunn. I don't remember the particulars though.

    According to Mike and the Mad Dog's discussion with Joe Torre Chin Ming Wang's shoulder is hurt, and it could be serious (torn labrium?). Could the Cubs help the Yankees and help themselves by dealing with the Yankees? Any trade scenarios?????

    great post. I got quite a laugh out of that one. Someone was walking past my office and asked what I was laughing about. :oops:

    I hope he is looking to stay for a salary of 2 mill dollars + incentives. I could live with that.

    This whole thread reminds me of the Chappelle Show episode where they had the racial draft.

    Boy will this open up a big can o' worms. Many New Yorkers are very jingoisticly patriotic. Those people will go ballistic. Then on the other hand and side of town (N. Manhattan, Bronx) are the Dominicans, they will love him for it. I can see many NY Yankee fans booing A-Rod. He is not that popular to begin with.
  12. CubinNY
    Yea, cuz the Cubs are doing so well with the boy scouts currently on the roster. That said, at this stage in his career I don't know if he is that much of an upgrade over Corey. At one time though, he was more highly touted than Nomar when they were both at Ga Tech.

    Position player: Andre Dawson Pitcher: Lee Smith Back up: Dave Kingman

    I played in a 30 and over baseball league with his older brother James. I'll see what I can dig up.

    I like your proposal raw. I think it is fair to all parties and each team gets better. I do think the Yankees are lookting for at least a starter and perhaps a bullpen arm though. Maybe take Williams or Hill and put him on the Yankees and give the Reds Brownlie or some other type b/c prospect.
  16. CubinNY
    Here in NY all the Yankee fans where whining about Jeter not making the All-Star team. Well he ain't no Tejada.

    The Cub batters are no more patient in this game then they are in real games. Both Lee and Aramis swung at the first two pitches. What is up with McCarver talking about Ronny groaning about Aramis?

    OML, Eckstein is so great:eyeroll: pukie, puke, puke Joe Buck
  19. CubinNY
    Abreu is a PRO-fessional hitter. If Corey develops discipline he could be Abreu like.
  20. CubinNY
    Dumbass Joe Buck just made snafu #1 calling D-Lee Carlos Lee. Vance must be upset.
  21. CubinNY
    Why don't you do that?

    I would like to add C and place the qualifier must in front of it> must c. Fire the manager. He has shown that he is unable to manage this ball club. We will never know how many games his line up card making and double switching have cost the Cubs. Not to mention not having Dempster close games from the beginning of the year. I don't see this team making it to the playoffs with Dusty at the helm.

    Nice post Truffle. I think that is where the argument about Maddux begins and ends. Maddux is not the same pitcher he once was. The Cubs bought the premium Maddux and are only getting the mid-grade Maddux but are still paying premium prices. I have to agree The only thing I can say is, buyer beware.

    IMB and others, I sent an e-mail to Rob Neyer and below is his reply: Just thought I'd pass this along in the interest of fairness

    How are they another piece of evidence if they aren't an effective metric? You know, I've taken statistical analysis classes and I never saw the chapter on why wins were a useful stat for measuring pitcher ability. Maybe I was gone on those days? I teach statistics. You are making an assumption that they are not an effective metric Data are data, they are neither bad nor good. They just are. It the qualitative evaluation that we do with the data that determines there fitness. In baseball wins and losses matter. Now, when judging a pitcher wins/looses are probably not the best way to judge whether or not the pitcher was effective. However, there probably is not only one metric to use. If that is the case then one has to look at other sources of evidence. Among those sources are wins, ERA, WHIP, etc. I think the best way to judge a pticher is to look at all the data and weigh evidence. What kills me here is the rigid thinking that wins are tottaly unimportant.
