  1. There was more than one person behind the wheel? That sounds like the problem, not the intoxication level of the drivers.
  2. "Could of"? :roll: Maybe "could have."
  3. QFT And a lot of bottles of Jack from pockets will be appearing I prefer the camelback approach coupled with pre-gaming, but that's just me. :lol: What does camelback mean?
  4. This sentence sucks.
  5. Seems about right.
  6. If Prior were to spend the season in AAA, does it count towards his service time? Would it give the Cubs another year with him?
  7. I'm pulling for Guzman. I don't think Miller would be a good candidate for the bullpen due to his shoulder. I think there'd be more stress and chance of re-injury if he were pitching on back-to-back days as opposed to once every five.
  8. But if one fan on the waiting list dropped 200 spots, everyone else should have as well. I was looking forward to lowering my number after January 15 also, and haven't moved a single number. I'm confused like the thread starter and would like some answers. Have you logged on and checked your number recently? Yes. I've checked often since January 15th, hoping my number would be updated. My number hasn't changed since before January 15. I'm hoping there's just a simple solution to this, like a policy that states the team updates the list on a specific date in the near future.

  10. Seriously? This is what people care about? I think it's a relative article because of the managerial change and philosophy differences between those two managers.
  11. excellent.
  12. The fact that this negotiation hasn't been agreed at this point can't be good. If the Cubs go to arbitration with Z, it could only hurt relations and result in lower odds of signing a long-term contract.

    Wood

    Promising news. For how long is he signed?
  14. This whole situation is mind boggling. There's not enough information available to forecast the best way to handle this, and since it's a high-risk situation, this move could greatly help or hinder the team. I don't know what's the best move for the Cubs, but Hendry better.
  15. I don't see the Sox finishing below 3rd since the 2007 Twins lost Radke to retirement and Liriano to injury. I'd expect the Tigers to repeat, followed by the Indians, Sox, Twins and Royals.
  16. What if the "juiciest" return is what experts would consider below value?
  17. I disagree with the thinking that states Z is an injury waiting to happen. Hendry needs to respond publicly to Zambrano's very clear and direct statements.
  18. Exactly, horrible, horrible reasoning.
  19. Because when healthy he's a very good pitcher. But if he's healthy.. doesn't he already have a spot in the rotation.. why does he need to contend? because he needs to prove healthy. I'm confused. If he's pitching, doesn't that prove he's healthy? So why does he need to contend for a spot in the rotation if he can pitch? Even if he's "good as new" with regards to his health, which we all know won't be the case, we're still talking about a guy that hasn't pitched a full season since 2003. There will be, at the very least, a lot of rust to knock off. He has to compete for a spot because he will probably be pitching considerably worse than 2003 or 2005 simply due to not pitching regularly for a long time. If you have an ERA of 7.00 and a WHIP over 1.60 right now, it really doesn't matter how good you used to be. Assuming Prior's healthy enough to pitch at all, I see him starting the season and playing at least a couple months in AAA just so he can get his mechanics right again and get used to pitching regularly in an environment where there isn't a lot of pressure on him to be an ace pitcher right away. How do you know Prior won't be 100% by Opening Day?
  20. Not sure if this has been posted, but Z wants a Zito contract, and he wants it before opening day. I assume Captain Backload will give Z what he wants. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/220720,CST-SPT-csep20.article Since I think Z would command a higher contract as a free agent, I think signing Z to a Zito-like contract is a no brainer.
  21. Jeff Gordon, the sports writer, not the race car driver: http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/columnists.nsf/jeffgordon/story/85D2F55AC9955350862572680060E273?OpenDocument
  22. Please refresh me on Tom House. I remember the name, but can't recall if it's for positive or negative reasons.
  23. While the punch was quite nasty (those with pics in your sig should post them), I must say that the foul tip had to have been nastier. Nothing against Carrie, but this is one topic she surely has no speaking rights on. Take a look at her picture, I'm not so sure she doesn't know what that feels like. awesome
  24. Do you forsee DLee's wrist impeding his play/swing in any way this season?
  25. I signed up on a whim a couple years ago, but after getting my initial letter in the mail telling me my number, I haven't had contact from the Cubs about my rank on the list. How do you guys go about finding your up-to-date number?
