    It would be nice to reestablish Dez Clark...

    That's not a bad read by Rex, though. He just overthrew him by about a step. A deep pass to Moose on 3rd and 2 in that situation is not the play call I want to see. Some decent pressure so far. I see what you're saying, in that it would have been better to pick up the 3rd and short, but if Moose doesn't stumble, or Rex sees the stumble and adjusts, it's a TD pass. It's hard to fault that read. Nice pressure and pick!!

    I like the rollouts. Rex looking fairly sharp today.

    Nice slant

    god, the Vikings are terrible

    I thought he was who the Cubs should get for Maddux if they didn't get a prospect. I've always kind of liked him as a player. I would not mind him on this team as a cheap 4th OF at all, although I wonder why he's bounced around so much over the last 4 seasons.

    Nice sig.

    Well they definitely could still want Izturis. and what else? nothing we got. perhaps another pen arm, but I don't think Izturis plus a pen arm gets it done. Yeah, I don't think Westbrook is a likely option any more.

    Do we think Jones will be platooned? As of now, I'm leaning towards no. However, if we get rid of Jones and acquire Nixon, the positive will be that there is a much better chance he will be platooned, since he already has been used in that situation for a few years. If we keep Jones, isn't he going to be a CF? Nixon can't play CF. Any platoon that Nixon is in will be with Murton, which is uneccesary.

    If we were going into 2007 and Soriano was going to play CF, Nixon would be an upgrade over Jones, but both have pretty drastic splits. I don't see a fit here, although I like Nixon.

    Thanks, I try to keep my mind in the game when my motor skills are on the bench. :D

    even schmidt? padilla is younger, likely chealper and with less of an injury history.
  14. USSoccer
    alli s saying is that padillai s a better option for FA than lilly or meche or anuone elsde.
  15. USSoccer
    Not if you're willing to pay 9 to 10 million per year. Padilla for 9 to 10 million a year or Lilly/Meche for say 8 million? I'll take my chances with Padilla. padilla is foing to be hthe best pictehetr signed this winter. brioook it. drown those blues USS. drown those blues. i can still make a choherent agrgument. Padiliia is a power pitcher, with less of an injruy history,. Lilly has been on and off the DL durnig his career. i'd erather thrown money at padilla than lillly. if coruse, if prior is acvtually alive, he's better tnan all of them.
  16. USSoccer
    i guess no abry for the type q FA

    Hadn't heard anything about it. I wonder if Bruce Miles would like to discuss this. I've heard Bruce isn't always right. Can this be confirmed or denied? PM CT. He's the authority on who is to be believed... I see... I'm just playing with you CT. Nothing but love here! :D So I'm not the ultimate authority!? :( No. My cat is.

    I don't think pitch count was the problem in game 6 :( It would have helped to have a little more snap in the breaking ball, or a little more jump on the fastball.
  21. USSoccer
    yeah, that's fricken hilarious. Not haha funny. Just...funny.
  22. USSoccer
    I'd sign Padilla or Schmidt before Lilly. He's just kind of meh.
  23. USSoccer
    Whats funny is that the Alou incident set the stage for 2004 for be an absolute pressure cooker right from the start, and what should have been a 95 win team melted down in the end.
  24. USSoccer
    If that's true, that contract sucks.
  25. USSoccer
    I can when the player in question had less to do with it than every other starting position player and pitcher on the roster.
