    .Thumbs up. Hopefully Walt pulls a Hendry and signs Jacque Jones now. And Jones will go .305 / .365 / .460 b/c its the Cards. I doubt it. Sarcasm!

    Yes. Ab-so-bleeping-lutely

    I know everyone probably noticed it too, but I think Derwood here deserves special recognition for the use of "BBQ" in his elongated acronym. And I like the fact that it makes Zito look bionic - sort of a Darth Vader quality to that left arm.

    You know, I am beginning to agree... And agree that Pie only gets moved if we get back Dunn or Abreu. At least Jim is taking taking that stand.

    williams + novoa/wuertz probably isn't as good as backe + qualls...but if the cubs throw in both novoa and wuertz (or perhaps ohman, who i think is expendable) + prospects, they could match/beat houston's offer. if the phils are looking for something along the lines of clement + trot, i don't know if the cubs can put together a similar package. You could be right re that Sox deal. But I think we can exceed Backe and Qualls with room to spare, and if they don't want it, go knock on the Reds' door and bring me Dunn.

    Unfreakin believable. The Stros are offering Backe and that's "aggressive"? We can offer more than that. DO IT JIM!!!!

    I wish that I understood where "trade for players you need" fist in to that schedule. May be Jim should wait for the closing gala and start sending coktails to his colleagues..

    Why and why? Dusty and Kerry. OK, if this is just the way it is, here is my shopping list: Lugo Pierre Abreu Burnett or Milwood How's this for a lineup?: Pierre Lugo Abreu Lee Ramirez Murton Barrett Cedeno (2B - Just say no to Neifi!) Prior Z Woody Burnett / Milwood Maddux =P~ The only thing that makes that lineup decent is Abreu. Pierre is a joke. If hendry overvalues speed to the extent that he thinks it makes up for his no-out-of-the-infield-hitting, noodle armed, poor range garbage, then he's on drugs. You are ignoring Lugo, and I am trying to base that prospective lineup in some reality (i.e., Hendry's interest in both Lugo and Pierre). In order to follow through, sub in Dunn for Abreu. Keep the rest the same. I think that's a realistic possibility.

    Can't tell whether you are kidding or not, Vance. I'll see if I can get Rubby to come on and confirm. He said he might if he gets back online. I have to hit the sack, but I am looking fwd to getting to my office tomorow morn and seeing where this is going...

    I gotta go with ABuck and Vance on this one. I was offended, mainly b/c of the strong insistence that it was Len and the comment that he was "100%" sure that Furcal would be a Cub. Had he said, it "looks really good", I'd say what the hell. But I smell a rat here...
  16. RynoRules
    I predict that my head will explode by 12/9.
  17. RynoRules
    I do think it's realistic to think if the Cubs are going to pull off a deal for Abreu they will have to give up one or more of either Cedeno,Murton or Pie. Williams,Hill & Aardsma won't be close to getting it done. Now that Philly has traded Thome, isn't it more likely they will hold on to B.Abreu? Agreed. I'll duck as I say it, but at this point I would do Pie, Hill and Williams for Abreu (w/ the Phils picking up some of the contract) and a picthing prospect (not Padilla).
  18. RynoRules
    Also, what does this say about the so-called "Dusty-draw" in light of the fact that Furcal prefers a manager-less team? I guess its: "Cash rules everything around me, CREAM get the money, dolla' dolla' bill, y'all!" - Wu Tang Clan
  19. RynoRules
    Don't kill me for saying it, but I would be OK w/ Damon at 4 years and 40 mill IF we also acquire a stand-out corner OF (i.e., Dunn, Abreu or Ramirez).
  20. RynoRules
    I slept on it and yet I feel the same. We are so screwed! Look, I hope that I am wrong. I hope that Jim pulls off the trade of the century and our lineup is: Pierre Mueller Abreu Lee Ramirez Murton Barret Cedeno But I am not getting my hopes up.
  21. RynoRules
    I agree that he was correct in not matching what Furcal got. But now he is painted into a corner and simply must make at least two deals to imporve this team. And BTW, today's Trib once again mentioned Burnitz as the worst-case scenario. Indeed.
  22. RynoRules
    He's not. We are going to have a real fiasco on our hands. I just hope he gets really creative in Dallas. No choice now. The FA mkt is drying up quickly. This could mean saying goodbye to prospects we like...
  23. RynoRules
    I agree with Vance's interpritation - the other outlets are just trying to firm things up. Anyone watching Sportscenter or ESPN News?
  24. RynoRules
    How about locking this thing then. What a load of (bleep).

    BUTTER FACE!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:
