Let me get this straight. Our current CFer gets picked off base and Baltimore's CFer gets picked off base and a thread is started about the Baltimore CFer. I don't get it.

Is it time to move Zambrano?
BigbadB replied to LuckyPup's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
And it would be just like the current regime to trade a player at his lowest value. -
Yeah, he's on fire this past week. The Pads are playing him a lot lately. I get all the Padres games here, so I get plenty of "The Horn". :D

The Official I Miss Moises Alou Thread
BigbadB replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't miss Moises one bit. Lazy, whiny, peehands jerk. If I thought I detested him early on, it wasn't nearly as bad as how much I detested him when he was too lazy to pick up a ball and throw it back in. Instead, he tried to kick it into the ivy. Check swing ground out KING. Horrible defender, even worse base runner, worst batting stance of any Cub in recent memory. Worries more about what the guys in the broadcast booth are saying than what is going on out on the field. Inexplicably takes days off without actually taking himself off the line up card (Moises words, not mine). I could go on and on. If he hit .400 and 80 HR's, I'd forgive him. I don't see any forgiving happening anytime soon. -
I have bad news. The pitching line ups have been posted for the next 5 games: Zambrano vs. Cy Young Marshall vs. Cy Young Guzman vs. Cy Young Maddux vs. Cy Young Hill vs. Cy Young
-
Did someone say Brian Giles in this thread? Don't even get me started. How long is Hendry's extension good for? [-(
-
Any games broadcast on WCIU are never available on MLB EI where I'm at. It's a bit disappointing, but considering Hill's no hitter has been broken up and the Cubs bats are hibernating, it doesn't hurt my feelings that badly.
-
Yes. Which is all the more reason to attempt to move him at the deadline. Someone may be willing to overpay for a "lead off" hitter/CF. If Pierre ends up the season with a .300 AVG/.315 OBP and scores 100 runs, I'd be real worried the Cubs will see this as acceptable production from a lead off hitter and proceed to give him a ridiculous contract that makes the Jacque Jones contract look like a steal in comparison.
-
Which irony? The irony that no matter who Cubs management wants to stick in CF will be lousy? The irony that the Cubs could attempt to get back the same equal value in trade for Pierre that they gave up to get him in the first place?
-
:shock: I should elaborate. I'm not attempting to say that Nic is or should have been our everyday CF. I didn't like the Pierre trade when they made it, and I don't like it even more now. He's a good guy, but he's an absolute hack. And when the time does come that the Cubs are obviously not going to be around come October, then get whatever you can for Pierre. Hopefully, it will be the equivilent of 3 pitching prospects. With Nic Jackson, Adam Greenberg, Pie and Hairston, they have depth at the position, and I'm not so sure that any of them couldn't be just as productive as Pierre, and most are much cheaper.
-
Mark Bellhorn! Nuff said. There are definitely teams that have a good bench. The Cubs could have had a solid bench, but instead of putting together a solid bench, they threw ridiculous money at the bench players they have, or starters that aren't really any better than platoon players or bench players.
-
We'd have room for Nic if Hendry would or could trade Juan Pierre for the equivilent of three pitching prospects.
-
On the bright side, they sure caught the ball really well today, outside of the 2 errors.
-
When does football season start? Hopefully tomorrow.
-
Oh, and for those of you who do not believe in karma, there ya go. :wink: :D
-
Thanks for telling him he's too patient, Dusty. :roll:
-
Wow, this game sure is fun. :roll:
-
Pierre's at bat with the bases loaded was a real peach.
-
Glad I traded him. :D
-
I feel really bad for the baseball.
-
My DL is full. And I've combed the waiver wire for outfielders. Griffey getting no points is probably better than what I could get from any of the players left on waivers. Griffey will probably be back this coming Monday. I can wait. I'm not complaining about Griffey. I'm complaining that Brady Clark and Jose Cruz aren't getting much PT. And if Griffey isn't back by Monday, then Dmitri Young probably will be.
-
I don't think anyone would use the race card as the reason they don't want to see Bonds pass Ruth. Personally, I really don't care if he passes Ruth. Passing Ruth won't change how much I can't stand him. Retiring today won't change how much I can't stand him. He is what he is. Now, if he attempts to pass Henry Aaron, a classy, unselfish individual and a true ambassador to the sport of baseball, I will be angry. And the closer he gets to Aaron, I certainly hope more noise about all of Bonds records being stricken will be taken into heavy consideration.

So that's the problem with hitting lefties.......
BigbadB replied to Larry Horse's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
How thoughtful of them to think of this a month into the season. :roll: -
i'll probably regret this since i play you soon, but why the hell do you still have griffey in your lineup? Because I don't have anyone to replace him with.
-
I have good news. Sometime within the next 5 games against a lefty pitcher, Jacque Jones will likely get a hit.
