  1. If Rice had topped 400 HR's, it would be a much easier decision. As it stands, I say no.
  2. Wouldn't that be about 102 in Canadian wins though? I doubt the Yanks or Red Sox can match that.
  3. How about this for a questionable post... "Dusty Baker is a skilled field tactician!" :lol: Is it OK to call Cards fans nuts when they say things like this? :lol:
  4. Exactly. Somethings got to give. They are supposedly holding out for Z in our offer, but this deal is based on mostly prospects? hmm. Maybe they're just angry with us because of how the Sosa deal worked out for them. :) We didn't exactly make out like kings...
  5. This is a serious question. Is it a warning only when a mod is called nuts or when any poster is called nuts? You can only call Jeff Reardon nuts. I had to re-read that -- I thought this thread got a little to perverted for my liking...
  6. And Carp will go 1-19 with a 7.95 ERA before he is finally taken out back and shot
  7. .475 average, 93 HR, 248 RBI, 157 SB, 28-1 with a 0.73 ERA on the mound too
  8. Pujols Cabrera Vlad Clemens (until he retires) ARod
  9. I'd actually go a little lower (C-/D+) considering part of his job was to also be a leader. His antics with Orton brought him down a notch or two in my book. He had a chance to redeem himself Sunday when he finally had his QB for a full game, and he dropped some balls. That said, with Grossman for the entire season, and I think Moose would have been around that A- or B+ area.
  10. I disagree with Leivne. He gets that a lot...
  11. Different ways to end that question and still get a yes... - To have his 3-4-5 look something like Lee Jones Ramirez - To start Neifi at SS ahead of Ronny and bat him 1st or 2nd - To have Corey platoon with Murton because "the dude's fast" - To stick his hand in his snow blower's auger because his toothpick fell in it - To start urinating on his toothpicks because Moises says they'll be tougher
  12. Who voted "Yes" here???
  13. Since the 2003 Orange Bowl...
  14. There's something very wrong with trying to get value for him now. He's under our control until 2008, why not keep him around until we absolutely have to get rid of him (assuming he has intentions of leaving)? That's a helluva lot of production from a dominating pitcher that we can be getting, plus his trade value is sure to increase over the next couple of years if he can prove he can stay healthy. It's simply idiotic to trade him now.
  15. 6/23/84 Ryne Sandberg: 5-6, 2HR, 7 RBI Box Score Poor Willie McGee. I can still hear them talking about him as the player of the game (cycle, 4-6, 6 RBI), and it will forever be known as "The Ryne Sandberg Game".
  16. Maybe Hicks has finally come to terms with the fact that Chan Ho was never really that good.
  17. I loved watching Dale Murphy too, mostly because he was on some bad Braves teams, and we didn't have to worry about him burning us too often. Murph is another one in this list that is just on the short side of having the requisite numbers. Some were impressive, just not enough.
  18. I would vote yes if, and only if, the question was "was Willie McGee the ugliest baseball player you have ever seen?". Hall of fame? Heavens no.
  19. Ahh, but he took a $7+ mil paycut this year...
  20. 1892 blew my mind. 36-12, 1.93 ERA, 1.062 WHIP, 453 innings pitched, 48 complete games I could do that...
  21. I can certainly understand their desire for something other than someone limited to 2B because of Brian Roberts, but how could you not want to acquire someone like Walker who puts up really good numbers for Neifi's salary??? If anything, they can trade him elsewhere for more pitching. http://forums.gigantour.com/images/smilies/bonk.gif
  22. He had too many good seasons for too many years. I always liked him as a player. I hope his managerial stint doesn't soil him in some eyes.
  23. If his children were voting, he'd be in with a landslide vote. Alas, they are not, and he has no chance.
  24. How ironic it is that he had to undergo Tommy John surgery... :-k
