    With what's happened to the Cardinals, and the Astros still making no significant offensive upgrades as of yet, I think we'd have a better than expected chance of contending with a Murton/Pierre/Floyd outfield. It's not a stretch to think that one of Murton or Cedeno will end up being a very good player for us in 06, so I'd like that team. has anything happened? They haven't improved, they've all gotten a year older, they might not get Sanders back, and all indications are that they're looking at Jacque Jones and Bret Boone. Should those rumors prove true, I'd give us a decent shot.

    I'm hesitant to do any deal that loses us one of our main rotation guys without netting us a big guy. Du/Childress I'd have to think about hard but it would be hard to get rid of Du.

    I agree with you re: Wilkerson. He's a good ballplayer but I'll take Pierre the sure thing over all-or-nothing Wilkerson. I wasn't aware of Welly for Bigbie rumors, but why we haven't jumped all over that deal is beyond me.

    I have a gigantic man crush on Jannero Pargo right now. 8/12 shooting with 21 points. Deng has 22 and 10 too. Talk about stepping up without Chandler and Kirk around! :D

    DaVanon? Yes please.

    That's really surprising. I seem to remember some real non-factors getting invited in years past. Brad Banks anyone?

    Notre Dame wins 78-74! :D Absolutely huge win for the Irish, who would have fallen below .500 if they'd lost. But they walk into a top 20 team's place and win. Really nice. Ball State beats IUPUI 53-50! :D Good sports day!

    I agree. What's the over/under on days until Tim adds that to the list of banned derisive nicknames?

    That has to be frustrating for Brady Quinn, who IMO earned a trip to New York. His stats were much better than Leinart's (300 some more yards, 5 more TDs) with no Reggie Bush in his backfield.

    Trebek: You wrote...nothing. The question was to write anything and you got it wrong. I'm speechless. And your wager...eleventy billion dollars. That's not even a real number. Keanu Reeves: Yet.

    Naturally, Bama coming back from a 20-point deficit and are now within four now that ND can't shoot threes anymore. Ball State struggling a little with IUPUI, only up 1 with 13 mins left.
  13. Andy
    ND is leading 19th-ranked Bama 38-24. Colin Falls is 5/7 from 3, including one that was about the funniest shot I've ever seen in my life, because he had to pass the ball on an inbound and get it back and shoot in about 3 seconds, with highly comedic results. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Fixed. fixed I laughed out loud when I saw both of the "repairs". :lol:

    It's impressive that the Cubs finally figured out that you needn't pay more than about 1.5M for bench players.

    1987 Indians had Steve Carlton and Phil Niekro for a while. OT: I saw a 1987 Indians game at the tender age of seven and a half months.

    Guilty.

    Sweeney - 2 years, 1.8 million Neifi - 2 years, 5 million I know this happens every time a bench player signs but, just in case anyone's blocked it out...

    No word yet on whether Kolb's tail will be between his legs when he makes his return.
  20. Andy
    They also had DLee in the middle of the order. All we have to do now is trade for Beckett, Castillo, Burnett, Willis, Conine, Cabrera, etc. and we will have a WORLD SERIES LINEUP!!!!

    Good poll. I like the move. We give up a guy who is never going to amount to much (Mitre) and 2 guys that may or may not amount to anything (Pinto/Nolasco) for a real leadoff hitter. I realize that Walker would be competent as a leadoff hitter, but since neither Jim nor Dusty seems to know that, we might as well get a decent guy at the top. A top two of Pierre and Walker would be exponentially better than what we had last year.

    ESPN does not mention Otsuka in the article and Wells talks have evidently not gotten very far.
  23. Andy
    I realize it's Offman, but... why is it that everytime the Cubs trade for a player they always try and immediately sign him to a long term deal? The only time I can remember this happening was DLee...
  24. Andy
    Reading between the lines of Hendry's comments, it seems pretty clear that if Nomar would really play the outfield, he'd be signed as a Cub right now.
  25. Andy
    I've been wearing my Nomar shirt all day today in hopes of a miracle. How ironic...I wore my Nomar shirt yesterday as a farewell. Of course, I wore a Cubs cap sideways today in tribute to Juan Pierre, so my sanity is in question.
