I like seeing Theriot in there. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of him this year.

:-s if rocky mcintosh isn't included, i don't do it. i'd even part with a 4th rounder, but that's as high as i go. I'd love Mcintosh. I don't understand why the Redskins would trade up to get him last year and then trade him this year, but I hope they do.

No thanks to the blue jumpsuits.

My guess is that the Bears think they'd only get a mid first talent at the 6th pick so it wasn't worth it. I hope they are contacting the Giants, Bills, or Niners about their first rounders.

I hope you're right. I'm worried that he only plays on a limited basis this year, is gone the next, and the Bears are left with nothing to show for it. I'm also not thrilled with the prospect of Leon Joe playing WLB for most of the season.

I guess it's nice that Angelo is being selective but I doubt we'll see a better offer than that. I'm dissapointed. briggs is a 2-time all-pro selection after 4 years in the league. a sure-thing. letting the redskins get away with swapping picks would be absolutely criminal. Briggs is as good as gone. Letting him walk and getting nothing in return would be criminal. briggs isn't in any kind of position to be dictating what the bears do. the seahawks went through this for a couple of years with walter jones. no one has ever held out after being tagged. There is a first time for everything. Pretty sure we're never going to agree on this one.

Anyone who buys the Cubs will be A) A Cubs fan B) Someone who wants the Cubs because they are profitable No prospective owner will care whether Soriano's OBP slips. If anything, he is a benefit because he is one of the most marketable, popular players in the league and will most likely remain so for the next few years. Soriano's popularity will disappear very quickly if he can't hack it in CF and puts up an OPS slightly above .800, as he did in TX for the 2 years before 2006. Then he'll be a barely above average corner OF who's owed another $126 mil. That's not something a buyer would consider attractive. Let's get real. A bad year from Soriano isn't going to deter people from buying the Cubs. Of course not, but it would put a big dent in the sale price of the club. Current projections of the Cubs' price don't include a player who looks like a $126M bust. Not really. You're talking about 17 million a year. What is a billionaire going to say okay instead of buying the cubs for 600 million you better minus Sori contract? Soriano is not going to be a bust, so it's really a moot point. He's hit his whole career and is in great shape. He's not going to all of a sudden lose it. I doubt a potential buyer of the Cubs is going to base the amount of his offer on the OPS of particular players.

If we don't end up trading Briggs before the draft, rejecting this deal is going to be huge mistake.

Oh, it's not even close.

I really hope this deal gets done.

Too lazy to link it, but ESPN.com is saying that today is the deadline for the deal.

Love the jorts picture.

with tebow running that offense full time? i don't think so. Tim Tebow's high school passing stats: Year ATT COMP PCT YDS TD INT Soph. 151 233 64.8 2194 18 8 Jun. 247 402 61.4 4304 46 6 Sen. 214 338 63.3 3324 31 4 The guy can do a lot more than just run the ball. so his high school stats are good, so were billy garza's. big deal. doesn't convince me he's anything more than a bulldozer at QB. How can he convince you then? There really isn't much else to point to. He wasn't used much in throwing situations this year. The kid can throw though. I think he'll be a fine passer. I guess we'll see.

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/324220,CST-SPT-cubnt03.article He's not even ready for AAA yet. I don't see how he can bitch about being left off the big league roster. If he kicks ass in Iowa then he can bitch, til then he should keep his mouth shut. Where did he "bitch about being left off the roster?" Did you miss the part where they didn't quote or paraphrase anything he said? I must have missed where it came even remotely close to resembling him "bitching." [oldman] Hell, he's PLAYING A GAME for a living and making millions doing it. So he has to go to triple A, big deal! You're playing a game for millions of dollars! Don't complain to me! I bust my hump every day for pennies and your complaining about going to the minors! Shut your face you stupid jerk![/oldman]

The pinstripes are awesome. The Blue pajama tops sucked and I'm glad they're gone.

Word is that Angelo is going to make a counter offer today. #6 and probably a linebacker, for the the 31. :excited:

Not really understanding the beef with Prior about what he said. Why wouldn't he be disappointed? He said he would play in triple A and help that team win. Tossed in a joke about making the futures game. Why are people fired up about this again? Time to unclench those butt cheeks, people.

Yeah, he really seems like it.

Love Aramis' broken bat HR.

They must have been.

So an hour ago he said that "they were in formal talks" and now the Bears are angry? Oh, I saw it, right above the thread that says the exact opposite. Not questioning you, just questioning Mort. I honestly don't see why the Bears would be so disinterested. I doubt they'd get a better deal than this one.
