    Took the words right out of my mouth.

    All signs point to a MAJOR move being made in December or January. We have too much money and there is a substantial amount of pressure on the front office after a dismal season. This move will almost certainly be for an outfielder. My guess is Manny or Dunn. Add Giles, and we're almost Dusty-proof. What should (and with $105 million, could) be: Damon Cedeno Lee Ramirez Ramirez Giles Walker Barrett

    Will they look to add an arm to the rotation or will they cross their fingers w/ Wood again?? I've seen stuff in the paper's about Burnett, but highly doubt the Cubs will ante up for him. We'll have money out the wazoo, tons of pressure on Jim and Dusty to push for the playoffs, and a nice core of talent. If we do not acquire a COUPLE of top-tier players, I will be shocked.

    Regardless of Baker's intentions in the eighth inning today, I have seen him make the same mistake multiple times this season, many coming when Derrek was pushing .400. He thought he was bunting a runner into scoring position for Lee, only to see him intentionally passed for (usually) Burnitz. I also find it interesting that three players missed signs today. Is it possible that the signs weren't clear? Could this be one man's mistake instead of three?

    Grudz right behind the bag at 2nd to turn an RBI single into a double play.
  6. muntjack
    I just simply cannot believe this. A new low.
  7. muntjack
    hahahahahaha Oh My GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 WHAt????? no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY????????????
  8. muntjack
    I already consider this situation a success. We've gotten 1 more run than I thought we would.
  9. muntjack
    No outs. Bases Loaded. Walk. This doesn't compute.
  10. muntjack
    Alright. Lets show them what the cubs do with the bases loaded and nobody out!!!!
  11. muntjack
    I'm not kidding when I say I would want my grandma ( god rest her soul) managing this team over Dusty Baker.
  12. muntjack
    Oh, Thank GOD!!! I thought for sure Dusty would switch just to look like he's doing something. Well, dangit.
  13. muntjack
    Okay we WANT Walker against KING right here. If Dusty takes walker down...I'm THROUGH!
  14. muntjack
    um...don't know if the gun is malfunctioning or what...but Prior's fastball was sitting at 85-88 that inning.
  15. muntjack
    Look there, another rookie starting another two-out rally with one of those darn walks.
  16. muntjack
    It really is maddening to hear Dusty say over and over that he has to balance playing rookies with trying to win, when Murton and Cedeno are both hitting over .300 and playing better fundamental baseball than anyone on the team.
  17. muntjack
    Not enough balance. :x :x :x :x :x :x :x No way will Tribune take on Manny's contract. Damon is a lead-off hitter, but he still can hit 20-25 HR's. Look what our 2004 team did. 4 guys w/ 30+ HR's and we didn't make the playoffs. Wood's health will determine everything, IMO. No balance? High OBP% down the board, speed at the top, power in the middle, patience at the bottom. The four guys in '04 were hurt badly by Sammy in the middle, and no OBP% at the top. To each his own, but I'd take that team over the Cardinals.
  18. muntjack
    Of course, we would still have money left over. If we really splurged and kept Nomar and went after Damon, we'd have to be world-series favorites. Damon Walker Lee Ramirez Ramirez Garciaparra Murton Barrett Zambrano Prior Burnett Wood Maddux Looks like an all-star team.
  19. muntjack
    Interesting how everyone is concentrating on free agents. I happen to think this off-season's biggest move will come via trade. Hendry will be aggressive with money to spend coming off of a dismal year. My current belief is that Manny Ramirez will become a cub in January. I think Wagner is a slim possibility but Ryan will be re-signed by Baltimore, as they have the cash and incentive to keep him. I think our big free agent will be A.J Burnett I think CF will be left between Patterson and Pie. I think Murton's arm will be tested in RF I think Walker's option will be picked up. Nomar will be gone and Cedeno will play short until he has an 0-4 (likely in spring training), at which point Neifi will take over for the rest of the season) The bullpen will be anchored by Dempster and Williamson. Ohman as the LOOGY, Hill as the main lefty. Other spots to be won in spring training. Thus: Cedeno Walker Lee Ramirez Ramirez Murton Patterson Barrett Zambrano Prior Burnett Wood Maddux Ohman Hill Williamson Dempster Van Buren ?? ?? Neifi Macias Blanco Pie LH power Which, in my mind looks great (except for Pie). However, as soon as a couple injuries occur, we have Cedeno Neifi Lee Ramirez Macias Murton Patterson Blanco Zambrano Maddux Hill ??? ???

    Murton should start everyday with Patterson, Hairston and Burnitz rotating. Cedeno should start everyday. Period. This is becoming comical.
  21. muntjack
    Wow. Season over, and now Dusty uses the squeeze. I'm confounded by this man.
  22. muntjack
    Surely both Murton and Cedeno will be starting tonight, so it should be a fun game to watch.
  23. muntjack
    Exactly. Murton stepped up, we just didn't play him enough. Grieve could have stepped up, we didn't play him, either.
  24. muntjack
    OHO! Filthy! Brenly: " Im not quite sure what that was"
