No, but I sure was expecting around 25. Now it seems like we're hoping for 15 or so. As Soul mentioned above, where is he going to be in 2-3 years from now? Scary...in a bad way. Hopefully we're able to unload him on some poor sap before his contract becomes an albatross. Although it'll probably cost us a boatload of good, young farm talent before someone agrees to take him. And then we can all thank Jim Hendry.

I bet he'll be ready for opening day. Then ready by may 1st. Then ready by the middle of June. Then ready by the All-Star break.

Haha, you're playing with a bunch of weather nerds.

Dempster went: 5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K The Cubs only have 4 hits on the day. 2 from Theriot (including a triple), 1 from Ramirez, and 1 from Blanco. The other Cubs highlight is that Fukudome threw out a runner at home. The offense is getting scary. Looks like the Cubs are in midseason form already. Were we facing a junkballing lefty?

Red Sox Might Refuse to Go to Japan
erik316wttn replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
MSNBC just reported that the Red Sox are refusing to take the field for their final spring training game because of the coaches bonus thing. -
As someone stated earlier, Wood as closer, Howry in setup, and Marmol as the fireman would be the 2008 version of the Reds "Nasty Boys" bullpen of Charlton, Dibble, and Myers. I think it's the best option, personally.
-
Yeah, I think you answered your own question there. Kidding.

How dare you doubt the great Soto?

Maxim's biggest fantasy baseball busts ever
erik316wttn replied to OleMissCub's topic in Fantasy Sports
I got burned big time by Sexson last year in 2 of my leagues. -
Because Kerry used to be a starter, does he have a little more stamina than most relievers would? Could he pitch 4 or 5 outs if needed to close out the game? I'm not at all suggesting this should be a regular or even a semi-regular occurance, but if the pen is pretty wiped out and there's about 4-5 hitters in a row that he's done well against over his career, why not?

Will we be historically bad against lefties again, too?

I'm hot blooded, check in and see! I've got a fever of a hundred and three! C'mon baby do you do more than dance? I'm hot blooded, hot blooded! Hot blooded? Don't you mean "Don't Fear the Reaper" I know that clip is the Blue Oyster Cult song. I just didn't think of "more cowbell" when I saw "I got a fever" posted. I thought of Hot Blooded. Maybe it's because I've been listening to 80's songs all day.

Pie is scheduled for surgery, Out 3-5 days
erik316wttn replied to YearofDaCubs's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Owww.... It's never a good thing to read "surgery" and "testicular" in the same article. He has my deepest sympathies and I hope his berries turn out ok. -

Crap, if it was on a day I had off I'd be in like Flinn. But I'm not available on Easter Sunday. Darn. Oh well, i'm sure you wont have any trouble filling that last spot.

I'm totally lost with all the sabremetric stats. I couldn't tell you what WART or VORP or any of those things mean. My eyes glaze over when I read threads with a lot of sabre-heavy stats in them. And I understand the desire for progress, but who says these stats are "the answer?" Because Billy Beane says so? Who says that 20 years from now there won't be a whole other group of stats that will be determined to be "the" determining factor in measuring player performance and Sabremetrics will be looked at then much like wins and batting average are now?

When I'm on the front page of NSBB and I see a link under the "Message Boards" section and I click on the thread, it no longer takes me to that thread. It just reloads the front page.

Hilarious. All this is doing is pissing off Derosa. And he has a heart problem too, no less. Hendry, you sadistic bastard.

it's been updated on the league home page. 7:00 EDT next Tuesday, March 11, I think. You are correct, sir. Tuesday March 11th at 6 pm Chicago time. And I need five more spots in that other league, which I also want to have drafted sometime before Easter. If you're looking for a fun, competitive league, you've found it. It's 12 team h2h 5x5. All are welcome, but if you want to spare yourself a butt-kicking, I understand. :twisted: League ID 88460 password: baseball

Not a bad compromise -- depending of course how the "significant signage" looks. If they take down the ivy and cover the bricks with ads, I will publicly tar and feather their CEO in a public square.

Would you really want the Cubs named after something produced by a Wisconsin-based corporation?
-
I live in Wisconsin and while I don't have anything against the Milwaukee teams, the city itself is a hole.

I bet you're happy. The Bears can't be his personal bitch anymore. except the part where he went 0-2 against them last year. What about the part where he went something like 22-10 against them in his career? Yeah. Thought so.
