    I am pissed.

    With Schmidt off the board, I'd rather not sign Lilly or Meche. I didn't see us making a run next year without a legit top-of-the-rotation guy. Since we didn't get Matsuzaka, Schmidt's gone, and we aren't looking at Zito... we wont have one. Lilly and Meche wouldn't be enough to help put us in contention, so neither one on their own would be either. Throw the rookies out there next season and see who sticks. Make a run in 08.

    So much for having a good rotation. No combination of available starters would pull that off at this point.
  4. Rob
    I don't know why we'd want to. Z Schmidt Hill Prior/Miller Lilly That'd be a pretty full rotation.

    Murphy's Law?

    Get used to the idea....it looks like that's what we're gonna get. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/161350,CST-SPT-cub06.article I already read that, hence the anger.

    I hate Lilly and Meche... why would anbody in their right mind want those bums for 10 mil and not Schmidt for 15?

    Do you value Mr. BB himself Carlos Marmol anywhere near Hill? Hill is ready to go NOW. Marmol has great stuff but is still a year or two away IMO. Strangely enough I put Mateo over Marmol RIGHT NOW. Can Marmol play shortstop? He has a higher career OPS than Izturis. He used to be an outfielder, if memory serves me correctly.

    Great idea, but don't you think Novoa should be used to acquire someone like ARod or Tejada? I'd trade him for a quarter-pint of jack daniels. Sadly, I doubt you could get that much. Surely there's some poor sap out there who paid good money for his jersey... perhaps he'd like to get the real thing to do his laundry for him.

    I'm hoping he's really looking at Church, and not just trying to bring down Lofton's pricetag.

    OH, don't you bring your negative vibes in here, mandinga!! :wink: I wonder what Z wouild get on a free agent market like this. Depends. Is he gonna be a SP or a DH?
  14. Rob
    I'd do Marmol for Church inside of a heartbeat. Guzman, I'm not so sure about.
  15. Rob
    Schmidt, Soriano and Church would keep me from getting too angry. Agreed. Also, cutting Izturis and putting Theriot as the starting SS would go a long ways.
  16. Rob
    Matsuzaka, Drew, and Lugo... The Red Sox have gotten everybody I really wanted off the free agent market this season, aside from Aramis.
  17. Rob
    I'd be shocked if Manny would agree to be traded to Canada. :D But, anything to get Seattle out of the Schmidtstakes. Agreed. If they're out, I'd feel really good about our chances of getting him. While we're at it, here's praying Luis Gonzalez signs with the Dodgers.

    Jason Whitlock was an extremely horrible reporter who used to write for Page 2 on ESPN.com. He's basically a fatter version of Scoop Jackson.
  19. Rob
    are you sure its a dog? Fairly sure. I wont know til I get the chance to autopsy it.
  20. Rob
    Yeah, I wish my dog were reliable. Darn thing hasn't even used the bathroom in two days because of the weather.
  21. Rob
    Whitlock is about as reliable as my dog.
  22. Rob
    I'm feeling the pain.

    4/40 for a 4.36 ERA in 1st year of the deal? Awesome, what a bargain! feel free to share your ideas for what the cubs should do. They could've NOT tried to do a worst-to-first overnight rebuilding job in the least favorable market in the history of pro sports. I've yet to see anybody of Hampton's caliber get 100+ mil this offseason.
  24. Rob
    Lord God, bring thy Church to me.
  25. Rob
    I think he's contemplating retirement right now, IIRC.
