    As Tony Reali on Around the Horn would say, listen to the lady. She has class and grace. And it's pop damn it! :P

    Very good news. I'm glad that he's been practicing this whole time. We (UK, but I'll be a student there next fall, so :P) desparately needs someone who can at least defend inside and catch the ball. Just make sure he doesn't catch the ball too well or Hendry will sign him to play RF.

    Looper will either be hurt too often to hurt the Cardinals or, much more likely, fill that set-up man slot ridiculously well and have a (name any White Sox reliever)-esque year.

    We have a 100 million dollar payroll. Even if the hypothetical new GM decided to retool somewhat personnel-wise, we'd have enough money so that we could still be competitive in 07. I do think 06 is probably not going to be very successful unless our pitchers go White Sox and start ripping off 8-inning 2-run games three at a time. We just don't have the offense.

    Absolutely, there were many threads on this a few months ago. Look at what the brewers did with Sexson. That has to be one of the top 5 worst fleecings ever. Especially when you consider that Sexson played about a month with Arizona.

    Artest please.

    Heard on ESPN today that Randolph Morris's suspension has been reduced and he will be available starting Jan. 10. Good news for Kentucky...

    Ridiculous idea. DLee alone is almost worth that package.

    Preston Wilson has expressed interest in the Cubs... I wonder if he could be had for 5-6M. If we can pull that off then we might as well bring him in unless Philly stops thinking they can get a Prior or a Santana for Abreu.

    One bad thing about rooting for a team that's only 10 years old - no one puts you on these lists. I think 20 years from now, Panthers/Bucs is going to be a very big rivalry though, maybe Panthers/Falcons too.

    Patient this off-season? Probably Patient overall? No. Remember, each day, more Cubs fans die without ever having seen a World Series title. Sad but true.

    Ummmmm....He does realize we don't currently have a RF, right? Unless he considers Patterson or Mabry to be it. Here... we.... go... again.... Where we going? He's referring to how Dusty has dismissed any thought of John Mabry starting anywhere for the Cubs in 2006. And yes, that's actually true.

    Aaron Brooks won a playoff game for the Saints! Ok, that's all he's done.

    I don't know what Murton will do in 2006, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't become a very good player for the Cubs sooner rather than later. I haven't felt confident about a Cub prospect's future in a while like I do with Murton.
  17. Andy
    I've called it pop my entire life, including the six years I lived in South Carolina - "Coke country".

    Furcal 13 mil a year or Konerko 12 mil a year? Rogers is probably an anti-Cub honk, but he's right, Konerko is being had for a very reasonable price.
  19. Andy
    Better Patterson than burning up more money on a RF that's barely any less crappy. There's also the hope, however small, that CPatt might get closer to his 03 numbers. That said, Tejada better be at short if CPatt sees any significant time.

    First, I was never trying to imply that Hendry is better than KW. This offseason in particular has shown that Williams is a better GM. But your examples are completely flawed. One by one here: DLee - Everyone knew he had the tools. He had a hole in his swing and fixed it. Barrett - Part luck, part talent. Dempster - Should have been closing all along in 05, and it was Dusty's stupidity that kept it from happening. Murton - Everyone knows he is good. Even when we got him in the Nomar deal, a lot of people were surprised that we could have plucked him. Bill Simmons, a Sox fan, expressed shock that we got the best player AND the best prospect in that deal. Ramirez - He had one bad year in Pittsburgh. That was the fluke, not what happened afterwards.

    :D :D :D We can't possibly lose to Todd Bouman....right?

    I am stupider for having just read that. How many runners in scoring position did Houston leave on base in that series again? Now tell me that St. Louis's offense would have "Cubbed" away that many opportunities, and say it with a straight face.
  23. Andy
    He's very good, too, but I was thinking just over the last 2 or 3 years, and Jocketty has put together video game-like offenses in that span while still having enough money left to bring in very good pitchers like Mulder.
  24. Andy
    Yeah, Craig, that makes too much sense. I'm much happier here in the "Hang Hendry" mob. :wink:
  25. Andy
    To answer CICT's question from earlier, year in and year out Walt Jocketty has done what he needs to do to help the Cards win and I think he's the best GM in all of baseball. With a payroll barely any larger than the White Sox he's put together one of the top 5 offenses in baseball and one of the top 5 pitching staffs in baseball. (Yes, he gets some help from luck, but not near as much as the White Sox had in 05.) It's by the bad luck of meeting a Sox team on a mission in 04 in the Series and the bad luck of running into the Astro pitching buzz saw that's kept the Cards from winning the last two world titles. The Cards IMO would have beaten the Sox fairly easily in the 05 Series had that matchup occurred. Carry on.
