  1. Vidro is damaged goods. The Nats are convinced that Vidro would either A) not play again or B) never produce at a high level again.
  2. We have 10 days to trade him, otherwise he will be released. HE"S FINALLY GONE THANK YOU SWEET GOD THANK YOU. Stop the presses. Does anyone know his service time? He can accept a minor league assignment if it's less than 5 years, can't he? 6 yrs: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/stats/player_locator_results.jsp?playerLocator=macias I just found that myself. I can officially start celebrating!!!

  4. The Gremlin's gone? How, oh how, will I ever fill this new void in my life?
  5. Bob Sanders, Colts I mean. The AFC is a little more competitive than the Pac 10.
  6. Not that it means much, but it was probably a bot that published the article based on what the author created, not the author him/herself.
  7. 1.87 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 522 OPS??? Heck yes, throw Furcal money at him for a season.
  8. "Tigers reach agreement with Todd Jones" is pointless? Now I'm lost even more...
  9. I don't get it...other than a few missed spaces, I don't see anything wrong with the article. Um, I'm lost too...
  10. Nope. Definitely not me, anyway...
  11. Mitre didn't have much of a chance, Pinto and Nolasco may have never had a shot, and our leadoff situation was disgustingly awful in '05. I'm not pulling a Murph and saying Pierre is the best leadoff hitter in the history of the team, but it sure beats what we had.
  12. Whew, I'm not the only one. Can someone let me know how I can CC Hendry on this post?
  13. I kept losing the audio, but I caught that the only reason Furcal was being pursued was to fill the leadoff spot. He said Ronny is plan B.
  14. How is this not official already? It seems like this happened a month ago... They needed the Pierre trade to go through to open a spot on te 40-man And by waiting after the free agent arbitration deadline the Cubs don't lose a draft pick. I thought we wouldn't lose a pick by signing him? The trade clearing up a spot on the 40 man sounds familiar though.

  16. Cubs #1 spot: 245/299/358/658 Opponents #1 spot: 291/362/422/784
  17. The team was at .299 last year. Edit: Our opponents were at 362 :shock:
  18. Why wouldn't they with Nomar, just in case? Even if they have no intentions of re-signing him right now, wouldn't it be nice to not close that door for a couple of weeks? He made 8 million last season. If he accepts arbitration, you can only cut his salary by 20%. He'd be guaranteed 6.4 million as the floor. No one hardly ever gets a pay cut through the system. So, Nomar could accept arbitration and force the Cubs to pay him between 7-9 million dollars next season. That risk is one the Cubs can't afford to take. In fact, if the Cubs offer arbitration, I would bet with almost certainty that Nomar would, in fact, accept. I guess I'm just looking at this with blinders on. I have always liked Nomar, and I have a really bad feeling that letting him walk will come back to bite us somehow. Isn't it almost worth paying him 7-9 mil just to keep him out of St. Louis? Ah, never mind. Goodbye, Nomah, it was wicked fun while it lasted... :cry:
  19. Why wouldn't they with Nomar, just in case? Even if they have no intentions of re-signing him right now, wouldn't it be nice to not close that door for a couple of weeks?
  20. Is Flip Wilson available? Is Flip Wilson alive? That's a no. If Flip's dead, how 'bout the deal I proposed earlier?
  21. Walker + CPatt + prospect is way too much to give up for Renteria. Cedeno can put up similar numbers for quite a few million less.
  22. Thanks, it's nice to know I'm not the only one irritated by every mock lineup with Aramis batting #5. I'd put him #3 until DLee proves last year was no fluke.
