  1. Flip a coin? I agree completely with Ping on this one, and I think obesity will ultimately take a toll on Joba.
  2. Does that mean its gonna take 228 pages to get this deal finalized??? Of course not. It means that 228 pages from now, we'll be back to where we started on the 114th page, which is where we started on the first page. you just blew my mind
  3. I really like the Shannon Stewart lady that's mostly naked all the time. The Shannon Stewart baseball player isn't worth much at all anymore.
  4. ...so that means, he's still unsigned? Quick somebody call JH! I hope that's sarcasm. Would someone please, tell "cubcolt" that I was being sarcastic. hey, you should do it
  5. Calm down. Rosenthal just said the Cubs might be looking for a center fielder, so he threw their name in. It bothers me that anytime there is what appears to be a purely speculative rumor, we read a barrage of posts saying that "The Cubs are so stupid" and "Hendry is a moron." Hendry is a moran. Big difference.
  6. Like the Kobe to the Bulls deal, it's not a matter of "if", but "when". Sure, but Kobe WILL be traded by October 30.
  7. a lot of people will if he can put up a line that looks anything like that
  8. Dempster's career numbers as a starter: 988.2 IP 4.99 ERA 1.57 WHIP .808 Opponent's OPS 1.11 HR/9 4.71 BB/9 9.39 H/9 There is nothing in there that gives me any faith that he'll do anything good as a starter. I agree. I also believe that given some more time, Marshall and that ridiculous K/9 will see similar results. I don't like either option, but given the increase in WARP from DeRosa to Roberts, I don't mind giving away what I believe is nothing better than what we already are trotting out there. Marshall has something else going on IMO as well. His absence late in the season has me wondering. The problem isn't Marshall, per se. It's that when somebody gets hurt or Marquis/Dempster are ineffective....the Cubs go from being able to start Marshall, who has had ML success or Gallagher, who has faced ML hitters and has a decent upside....to having to throw a lesser talented or less ready pitcher on the mound. Correct, the 2008 Chicago Cubs will use more than 5 starting pitchers throughout the season. They shouldn't be trading those who are closest to being ready to step in.
  9. Dempster's career numbers as a starter: 988.2 IP 4.99 ERA 1.57 WHIP .808 Opponent's OPS 1.11 HR/9 4.71 BB/9 9.39 H/9 There is nothing in there that gives me any faith that he'll do anything good as a starter. he'll be really good at sucking
  10. Care to elaborate? Yes, people on this board need to take the blue tinted sunglasses off and realize this deal is a steal for us. We getting one of the best leadoff men in baseball, an all-star and another great club house guy for pretty much nothing. You guys are blowing your loads over the 2 pitching prospects that have showed us NOTHING. Care to elaborate?
  11. That's just so pathetic. It's basically David Justice. Certainly worthy of election to the hall... :roll: Question....someone told me today that Andre Dawson said that he wouldn't wear a Cubs or Expos cap on his plaque if he were to ever make it...he'd wear a Red Sox one. Is that true? I don't think he'd have that choice, would he?
  12. Theriot is by all indications the starter, therefore not the backup. DeRosa probably fits into that role despite the fact that it should be the other way around.
  13. Is this thing actually happening? If it does, who is going to be the backup SS? Does it kill the depth at the starter position? Wouldn't Theriot become the backup? No. I agree with the ugh sentiment. as do I
  14. 1. Oklahoma 2. Iowa
