  1. That lineup just makes me want to hit every single yankees fan in the face with a fish.
  2. Well, that depends. If the Bears come out and dominate like I'm predicting they will, it wont matter if gale sayers was supposed to be starting at HB. I have da bears holding seattle to 2 TD's or less and winning by 20
  3. Honestly, I wish murton could play 2B. His bat is perfect for the position, and would be one of the best in the league. At the corner OF spot though hes just above average.
  4. my favorite football joke. classic :)
  5. That and the fact that if the Cubs won the world series, the profits would be exponentially bigger than any other team in baseball.
  6. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-0609100048sep10,1,1956873.column?coll=chi-sportsnew-hed Digging around I found this article from Phil Rogers about a week ago. The HS class may be better and it is certainly deeper, but as of right now the top three players in the draft have to be college guys, IMO. My top 10 would be something like: 1. Price 2. Brackman 3. Wieters 4. Harvey* 5. Main* 6. Beavan* 7. Jackson* 8. Burgess* 9. Arencibia 10. Schmidt Dont take them too seriously, but stars are HS. With the addition of any one of those 3, the cubs farm system might have a few bonafied bluechip prospects in the making in Pawelek, Veal, and our 2007 draftee. Certainly will elevate us up in the BA ranks. By the time BA ranks the Cubs 07 draftee as part of their system, if Veal is a blue chipper, he should have graduated to the big leagues. It is possible to Veal to play at bluechip status from here on out and only reach the big club in late 2009. He just turned 22 a few days ago.
  7. have the last 2 years not indicative enough for ya?

  9. to me it goes like this The earliest he could have possibly started using was mid to late 2000. That year he had a .688 the highest of his career to that point, and had a .730+ SLG after the all star break in 00'. From 2000-2004 He used on and off (unknowingly or knowingly i won't get into). After his injuries and the Balco Investigations, he was off them completely, he hasn't used since. Barry Bonds is one of the most if not the most patient hitters of all time, whether or not you think the steroids inflated his power numbers dramatically, he deserves recognition based on that fact alone. 232 walks (.609 OBP) in one season. That's insane. Before he was "using", based on how he would have fared in his roid years, he would have still made enough of an impact to be considered for the hall. I'd place him at about 450-550 HR's. i guess we will never no though.
  10. a-HA! Take that history.
  11. best answer I've heard so far.
  12. but Hendry can spin ANYTHING I look forward to this kind of statement "Last year we were riddled with injuries. You can't prevent that (even though you can), so we obviously couldn't do much because we were always using our backups and guys from the minors (even though it is possible do win if you have good depth and a good minor league system)."
  13. put me on the Cutler for starter bandwagon :(
  14. I'm really worried about tommorow's game vs. the Rams right now
  15. Oh football, how I missed you.
  16. Booooo Offtopic, but does anyone ever ask themselves why Boo is universally accepted as a sign of distate. In reality it's just a silly sound.
  17. imagine what kind of powerhouse that they could put together given maybe another 15 mil :lol:
  18. I think the fact that the NL is so weak this year makes the team look alot bettter than they are, but the fact that they are as a team making less than 8 or so players in the MLB is a real testement to how well run the farm system and ML club are. Joe Girardi should be a good manager for years to come.
  19. Currently? No. In history? No. I don't know about currently but historicly, they're Years Existed/Championships Won Ratio makes a case.
  20. Seriously, I am so frustrated with this team it makes it difficult to even watch baseball at all because of how PO'ed i am. It seems like it's blatantly obvious to everyone outside the front office that changes need to be made, and the philosphy needs shifting, but even after 98 years of futility, we STILL make excuses. Honestly this might be the worst run team I've ever seen in sports history, its definately up there with the 90's clippers. Blow this team up, please.
  21. do you think San Diego is going to take the take the division away from the broncos with a "rookie" QB? I honestly dont see it happening no matter how good Rivers supposedly is, he will have to pull a roethlisberger type season to win his team the division. One injury to LT could have this team spiraling into the abyss.
  22. im slightly lost on the significance of the quote.
  23. it wouldnt have been much of a rivalry right now though.
  24. I think if Z can win 3 or 4 more starts, and pitch pretty well and get his ERA to near or below that 3.00 mark he has a great shot and winning this thing. Its neck and neck between him carpenter and webb for what voters will vote right now.
  25. Wagner has almost as many blown saves as our own ryan dempster, and is not having an eric gagne 2003 type year by any means. No way is he even top 5.
