    Wow, Carlos is EIGHT and THREE for this team. If he doesn't win a Cy or two in the next few years...

    My list: 1) Brown (not by that much) 2) Sanders 3) Payton 4) Smith And by the time his career is over, LT will pass Smith and quite possibly Payton depending how long he can maintain current performance. Another thing: The NFL didn't expand to a 16-game schedule until 1978, Payton's fourth year. How many more yards then, one wonders?

    It was I who referenced the third-year leap theory. And Simmons' stance on the Wallace signing would be absolutely correct if not for the slight fact that Ben Wallace can play more minutes, not get into foul trouble, and will serve as a leader on this team - all things Tyson couldn't or didn't do. I like Wilcox and if we could get him for Smith and Sweets I'd jump all over it. We all know Pax is good at getting his man.

    He uses the tried-and-tested line about how "Dusty didn't get thrown out at third last night". At some point, you have to see a pattern, though, RIGHT, Wojo?

    I refuse to vote for anything with an Osbourne in it, so Santana it is.

    Bob has been getting on Aramis in the booth for not running out fly balls all year long, and rightfully so in most cases.

    ARam Sounds Off

    Andy replied to JC's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    As I expected, DLee says it in a much more coherent and diplomatic way than Aramis. Lee for captain.

    Which leads one to the only possible reason to root for the Sox to win the Series again this year: There is simply nothing to copy from them OTHER than hitting a bunch of home runs, because that is what they do best.
  9. Andy
    I'd vote Payton, Jim Brown and Barry Sanders ahead of Smith.

    By the end of this series it is likely that KC will be contracted from the Fecal League.

    Pierzynski officially voted in. So is Nomar. Absolutely unbelievable.

    It's been said already in this thread, but it needs to be put in all caps: CHRIS CAPUANO HAS THROWN 26 INNINGS OF BASEBALL AGAINST THE CHICAGO CUBS THIS SEASON. IN THOSE INNINGS THE CUBS HAVE NOT MANAGED A SINGLE RUN. NOT EVEN BY ERRORS. CLEARLY, SOMETHING IS PRETTY $&@*ING WRONG WITH THIS TEAM.

    How many players did Ozzie Guillen select? How many were White Sox? He had 7 picks. 4 of them, he had to use to rep every team. After that, he had 3 picks for whoever, and he took his guys. Add Maggs and its 3 of 4. Small sample size, but its not out of bounds to assume he would screw Mauer to make room for AJ given the chance. Especally since he screwed Liriano AND Schill to make room for Buehrle.

    huh? Same as Back button on your browser

    He does bat high-OBP Derek Jeter leadoff and low-OBP Robinson Cano low in the order, although that probably has more to do with reputation than OBP.

    I would trade any two of our bullpen pitchers (as long as it wasn't Eyre AND Howry) plus any two of our bench players for Freel.
  17. Andy
    Trib mentioned Piniella and Fredi as options today. If Lou turns us down, here's hoping Hendry settles for Fredi.

    Tell me, am I the only one that doesn't notice, and never has been able to notice, the difference in taste between any Dr. Pepper? I've had regular, diet, the old Red Fusion stuff, and Cherry Vanilla, and they have all tasted exactly the same.

    Great move for Indiana but they're probably still the worst team in the Central (which says more about the Central than Indiana).

    True story: My freshman year college roommate bet his best friend last year that Alabama would make the national title game, with the bet being that his friend would go to a strip club shirtless with "I LIKE MEN" painted on his chest if it happened. Scared the living crap out of him until they finally lost to LSU on November 12.

    Soon. When I first looked at this it said 'you should come out with one'. Now it says soon and it wasn't edited. Am I going crazy? I am not sure when they will be out, but all the ones I have seen in magazines have OSU at #1. Notre Dame is getting some also, and Athlon's has Oklahoma. They all have their flaws and there's no one that's a clear cut leader, but I like both of those two more than Ohio State. As an ND fan it pains me to say this, but they are not a #1 team. No way at all. I agree. They have a chance to win it all for sure, but they in no way deserve to be ranked #1 preseason. I'd put Ohio State for sure ahead of them, and Oklahoma, USC, Texas and a few others are also at least as deserving of preseason hype. Who does Oklahoma have at QB? I love the college football season and I'm jealous as heck at teams that can win and have 70-100 thousand fans at each game. Oklahoma's QB is Rhett Bomar, a talented sophomore who had a slow start last year when inserted into the lineup but did pretty well towards the end. I'm sure IMB has more details.

    Agreed. I can't believe MacPhail and his goons haven't had a talk with Bob yet.

    Definitely. Rather him do that there than suck with us though.
