    How do you figure they aren't a favorite? I'm not particularly stoked about this team's chances of doing anything serious in the playoffs, but I see no reason to think the brewers have done anything to get better than us. Their defense was brutal last year. Their defensive efficiency was .8 standard deviations below average. The Cubs were almost 1.5 standard deviations above average. They've made a difference just by adding Cameron, moving Braun to the outfield, and moving Hall to the infield.

    Keep hoping. Votto for Blanton? Sure. Anything more? No way Why would the A's trade Blanton for one of Cincy's bench players? And it's not like Oakland is short on first basemen.

    I'd love to be in the league!

    I dunno. Single game tickets are going to be even more scarce than usual this year, and that's going to drive up demand on the secondary market. Once February 22 rolls around, I think it will be fairly easy to get at least face value for some of the April and May games.

    the reds don't play the yankees this year. when NY opens up that new stadium, that poor guy will have no use to anyone. The Reds do play at NYY this year.

    Have you looked at Cedeno's splits? He's hit better vs. righties than lefties so far.

    I'm all for it. Won't happen.

    Thanks. As I never visit Cubs.com, I didn't realize.

    Has anyone NOT on the season ticket holder waiting list tried this? I'm not sure the ticket office is correlating orders with the waiting list.

    Because Kenny has put up a .591 against lefties over the past 3 years? If Pie is traded, I'd like to see Lofton become a Cub, but there's really no place for him if Pie is on the club.

    naivety? Naivete is the correct spelling.

    If the deal is really Bedard for Jones, Clement, and two of Tillman, Triunfel, and Balentien, then MacPhail wins the trade big time.

    Always believe the player.

    No, he is not.

    The Red Sox and Cardinals have always allowed buyers to purchase tickets for multiple games in one transaction, but the Cubs have not. I doubt they change that this year. I'd prefer that they did allow multiple purchases in one transaction. As it is, buyers pay separate fees for each game.

    Thanks! I got great seats for Brewers and Cardinals games. Any trick to getting in? I'm still stuck in the VWR. No real trick. It all comes down to having windows open and being lucky, I guess.

    In 2007, 6.2 to 3.4, so about 3 wins.

    They often go on sale the first weekend in March.

    Zips doesn't project Dempster to be much worse as a starter than Marshall, but then again, Zips doesn't particularly like Marshall. Edit: I really wouldn't mind Dempster as a spot-starter against righty-leaning lineups like the Brewers or Pirates (or Cubs).

    Just another example of why the BBWWA should not be voting on the HOF.

    Did you read the article? http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/base-stealer-intangibles-part-2/

    Bet on February 23. Lately the Brewers have put tickets on sale the day after the Cubs to take advantage of all those Cubs fans who get shut out by the VWR. They figure if you can't see the Cubs at Wrigley, you'll drive 90 minutes to see them in Milwaukee.

    Yours seems to be the majority opinion around here, but I completely side with Prior. I'd feel no loyalty to an organization that signed the guy who shredded my arm and cost me millions in future earnings. FWIW, the exploratory surgery before last season pretty much ruled out the Giles collision as the cause of Prior's problems, so it's a little disheartening to hear that Hendry still believes it was a significant factor. Some teams have medical staffs that minimize the impact of injuries. The Cubs aren't one of those teams.
