  1. In the midst of all the infighting here, Hendry has provided us manna from above, in this DFA. No matter our differences, old school vs SABR, Pierre vs Wilkerson, Dusty love vs Dusty hate, Corey debates, Wood debates, optimism vs pessimism... ....everybody hates Macias, and now everyone is happy again.
  2. I think a better concern would be: Are the Brewers not real enough of a threat to the Cubs to prohibit us giving anything of value for a player that Milwaukee should consider one of their best tradable assets? But they need pitching, and we're one of the few teams that has some extra to offer. Would Williams for Hall in a straight trade be fair for both teams? Williams would make them better than Hall would make us. I'm a big Bill Hall fan, but I'd shy away from giving Milwaukee anyone useful.

  4. Vidro's knees are shot and it doesn't help when you decide against surgery. Yeah, Vidro's done. Too bad he wasted all that talent on that turf in Montreal.
  5. What? When did this happen? I need to see documentation so I can sleep well knowing that Dracula is dead. There's a very happy thread about it!
  6. Wait, S***. So if he accepts, he will go to our Minor league squad? Plz just cut this goof. See above post for reassurance :D
  7. 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 This means Macias can accept assignment, he was arbitration eligible. Let him. I hope he enjoys Iowa and the PCL, because that's where he'll be stuck. Hendry's not dumb enough to try and remove someone off the 40 man to put Macias back on.
  8. Hopefully Neifi now becomes the 25th man on the roster, so to speak.
  9. I'm betting he could be had for an arm or two. Patterson, Novoa and Williams for Delucci and Mench? Remove one player from each side and I think you've got it.
  10. I'm betting he could be had for an arm or two.
  11. Now where you at? where you at! Where you at!
  12. That's really clever, man!
  13. Wow. Bowden overpaid. Too bad Wilkerson is off the board, though. Soriano is going to s-u-c-k suck in the parks of the NL East.
  14. And the holiday season treats us to an early gift! Much, much happiness here!! How did we miss this when we signed Howry??
  15. I think when I was a 6th graded they showed us how to program in BASIC. :D I'm reading an online tutorial right now. It doesn't look that hard once you've mastered a basic set of commands. EDIT-nevermind! It's a lot harder than just that!
  16. It really isn't taking that much space. Pruning the old chit chat threads on the other hand... :D Like those gargantuan "general chit chat" threads? Also, what about the sticky on the Pictures thread in Social? The pictures aren't hosted here, so they don't really consume my bandwidth. I appreciate the ideas, though. :thumleft: Sure, no problem. I have a ton of time on my hands for the next 8.5 months. :D Know anything about php development? If so.... I really wish I did-I'd jump at the chance to help you out with the site. I have a friend that does, but all my education is in history. Is it difficult to pick up?
  17. If he thought the media was hard on him, wait until April :P

  20. Tim, Woudl it help the site's performance if you deleted the Team Reports forum? It was a great idea at the time, but it's been dormant for about 2 years now, and it might help the capacity issue.
  21. Is there a way to edit the thread title, mods? ?
  22. Guys, it's obvious that Kerry Wood is one subject that CubbieRich and others (like myself) will never see eye to eye on.
