JWCUB

Anything else being said?

After a couple of ST games, I stand by what I said, this team IS more focused and doing the little things it takes to win. I love what I have seen so far. I have a real good feeling about this year. The only concern I have is injuries.

Its hard to believe that Sing went unclaimed in the Rule V.

Thats why I said "if he can throw it over for strikes."

If Demp can throw the change over for strikes, he could be flat out nasty.

Get well soon Kirby. Depending on the damage, it could be a long hard recovery. We will pray for you.

Let's all take a leap of faith that the print reports the last few days regarding Dontrelle Willis becoming available at some point in the next year are true. With that in mind, what would it take to get him? With Wood's current situation it is even more important that we add quality starting pitching. The great part about dealing with the Marlins at this point is they won't be looking for major league talent in return so Prior, and Z are safe. Would they take Pie + Guzman + Welly for Dontrelle? Would we do that? If the Marlins are seriously going to trade Dontrelle at the break or after this season, why wouldn't they just move him now for the right deal? It's not like they have a chance in hell of making a run with him this season. It's also not like he is going to bring in fans because they will suck so bad. Because the Cubs can't let go of Wood. He's kid K. He was supposed to be the next Clemens. It's almost like the Packers & Favre (not in terms of career success. of course). Everyone always dreams of a messiah coming to save the day. Very few give any thought to what should be done when he lets everyone down. Why would we have to let go of Wood? Not at this point anyway. I assume D would be very expensive. And besides, Wood's coming back! He's always coming back. Gotta keep that seat in the rotation warm for the saviour. :roll: I'm sick of being lied to by this franchise at this point. I don't believe for one second Hendry & Baker didn't know Wood's knee was a problem. They keep selling this idea of Prior & Wood dualing for the Cy Young. It's not going to happen. And I think it's time we accept it, even if they can't. I just wonder if Hendry and Co. are thinking like we are and throw their hat in the ring for D-Train. It could right a wrong they made.

Funny how D-Train becomes a pipe dream just a few years after we already had him in our stable. What happened to the guys we traded for him again? Another year and I might not be able to even recall their names... Ironic, huh? :roll: I think D-Train is possible, D-Train AND Miggy is a pipe dream.

I really want to see what Williams can do this year. I think he COULD be a solid #3. We shall see.

I still say we should go all out for D-Train in July, if thats the way the Fish decide to go. I can't see Woody coming back next year unless he has an All-Star year, which I doubt. I wish for it, but doubt it. Would love to have Miggy too. I know, I know......Pipe dream :oops:

Kaplen on WGN720 just said that he should be able to resume throwing 7 to 10 days after the scope.

Check out benmaller.com. Has been mentioned other places as well.

Welly's done. Is he just laying it in there or what?

I think come July, the Cubs need to go HARD after D-Train.

Only if he can do this during the regular season........wow. I like our chances.

I am just getting really, REALLY sick of this!!!

Yep, but don't rain on our parade yet. Its not sounding like its that bad, but......it never is....is it???

By chance you guys here the news on Woody?

In more ways than one. ](*,)

Its Miller time.
