  1. I'd just settle for the Cards being above average rather than world beaters, with the Cubs being really good.
  2. Quick, assemble every crappy veteran who's played under Baker since he became manager! We can assemble one heck of a roster!!! Cripes, the Cubs alone could field this: RF Troy O'Leary CF Tom Goodwin LF Jose Macias 3B Lenny Harris SS Neifi Perez 2B Damian Jackson 1B John Mabry C Henry Blanco Bench Enrique Wilson Bench Randall Simon Bench Jose Hernandez Bench Paul Bako Bench Todd Hollandsworth SP Glendon Rusch SP Shawn Estes SP SP SP CL LaTroy Hawkins RP Dave Veres RP Cliff Bartosh RP Mike Remlinger RP Mark Guthrie RP Antonio Alfonseca RP Jimmy Anderson We gotta call in the Giants' reserves to fill up those SP holes! Fassero could be moved into the rotation, since he started in SF last year. If you wanted to be blunt you could put Maddux in there too since he's been average at best since arriving.
  3. Good job, Dusty, you're playing 3 position players and a few pitchers off and on out of 25 players.

    Draft Roy at No. 2, or I could also live with the rumored Ray Allen deal involving both picks and Sweetney. I don't have any strong opinion on the 16th pick.
  5. The point is, the contract is back loaded, so if Samardzija wants to get the big bucks he is going to have to concentrate on baseball, and you can probably postulate that he will get better at baseball the more he works at it, if that day comes.
  6. I want Freel to play 2B for the Cubs next year.
  7. What's this about killing Hafner?
  8. Crappy. Hey, I'm not even Fred and I know that :wink:
  9. Posting to make sure this isn't the shortest thread of the year.
  10. We tried to win the game dude but everyone was too offended by that HBO guy's language dude

    June 28th? 27th
  13. Wouldn't surprise me as Len and Bob have been trying to subtlely infer how terrible this team is without openly trashing them for weeks now. (Especially Bob.)
  14. August 31st is when football season officially begins (BSU) and I can stop caring.
  15. Yeah, for starters, I think he is the worst I've seen to go through an entire season. Rusch 2006 will blow that away. With Estes at least the Cubs scored runs for him and sometimes they won anyway. (Estes was .500 that year despite sucking)
  16. What about Bloom at Colorado? He made money of skiing, and couldn't play football. Also Zibby has a boxing agent. Bloom's issue was endorsement money. His argument was that he needed the endorsement money to ski (which was true). The NCAA wouldn't have any of it though. As to Zibby's boxing agent, I don't know how that is allowed.
  17. Signing an agent is forbidden, and making money off playing your college sport is forbidden (by signing with the Cubs he's now ineligible to play college baseball). But since it is a different sport he can play it professionally, also the reason Zbikowski can box. It's a joke of a rule, but it's a rule. Note: One of the underrated aspects of getting him is watching board members attempt to spell Samardzija. :)
  18. Rusch is going to the pen too. Only because Prior is back
  19. Prior: 3 1/3 innings, 7 ER Ex-Cub Garland: 8 IP, 0 ER, home run I think the Baseball Gods are collectively trying to drive us all to suicide. Wood and Prior are d-u-n done by the way, I'd be shocked if the two of them won more than 15 games together in their remaining Cubs careers.
  20. Please don't get crushed by a space shuttle Prior.
  21. Shortest game thread of the season. (9 posts shorter than the 6/8 game.)
  22. Ponson's ERA: 4.35 Rusch's ERA: 7.80 And which one gets demoted? I love the Cubs.
  23. Thursday morning will be very exciting
