  1. At least he'd be entertaining in some way. "And for his next trick, The Great Izturis will break Dusty's toothpick addiction!" :pig:
  2. Its funny, but I was thinking the same thing that Hoops is but didn't want to get my hopes up anymore. I hadn't thought about the particulars, but in support of Hoops' theory, I note that Mateo was just called up. Could it be showcase time? How about Cedeno, Mateo, and one of Hill/Marshall/Marmol for Tejada?
  3. Well, it is only 2006 ... :P ... but sadly, there's hasn't been much competition in terms of smarter maneuvers. This is awesome, too: A couple of weeks ago, Dodgers manager Grady Little said of Izturis, "Even on nights when he doesn't get any hits, it's like he's driving in runs with his glove. That means as much to us as a guy hitting .350." He obviously spent too much time with Jim after he got run out of Beantown.
  4. Thanks. What do you make of this? I mean, we have Guzman and Ryu in AAA after cups of coffee up here earlier this season. I have never heard Mateo mentioned as a potential helper to the Big Club (at least not in 06') until now. Makes me wonder what value the org. puts on Ryu and Guzman at this point.
  5. Didn't see that one coming. What's the deal with Mateo?
  6. I think if you give Nady consistent ABs you can reasonably expect .280 / .345. He's got more value than our Jacques does, that's for certain.
  7. I respect him for taking the high road, but it must be killing him.
  8. Hendry is your Fredo. http://www.godfatherfilms.com/films_images/mike-fredo-kiss.jpg Then, who's Michael? Pedro? Me? You? Any self-respecting Cubs fan?
  9. I am starting a Cashman appreciation thread. I'm not kidding.

  11. He's not great, but he can still be a good platoon partner or right=handed pop off the bench. There has to be a mkt for that amongst contenders, no?
  12. Saved for August waiver deal? One would hope. Its highly unlikely anyone thinks enough of him to block the trade. On second thought, he will only be owed a measly hundred-thousand by the time a waiver deal goes through.
  13. Yes, I know Lee is gone for the year (most likely), but who the hell cares? Where is this team going, except behind the Pirates, who may have improved their team today. Nevin has value in the right situation. Oh wait, I've got it - we stopped making good deals after Nomar got here. I forgot.
  14. I've been saying that on a daily basis this year... May I suggest: http://www.blogwaybaby.com/Baby%20Drinking%20Beer.jpg

  17. Sorry about that huge pic, but you get my point.
  18. The reports I've seen haven't mentioned any minor leagures at all. Same here. It appears the deal is Maddux + 2 million for Izturis. Amazing. Goodness gracious. All I need to hear is a Baker extension.... Push me Jim. I'm reminded of this classic Nirvana tune:

  20. http://www.adamsfamilyfarm.com/images/animals/goat.jpg "This trade was a baaaaaaaaaaaad idea."
  21. Does anyone habe any inkling on who the minor leaguer might be? Or if there is one at all?
  22. Quite possibly the worst Cubs trade in my lifetime.
