    At least the Bulls didn't give Darius Songaila the ball at all the key situations. Oh wait... Tyson Chandler gets paid 60 million effing dollars not to give up 15 offensive boards to the other team (especially ADRIAN GRIFFIN), and he doesn't do it. Is it too late to waive him?

    I understand where you are coming from. The only thing that gives me hope is Duncan (our pitching coach) is great with vertern pitching. Thats a big dent in the budget to have to rely on hope. Then again it is the Cards so you have reason to be positive about hope and luck, whereas us Cubs fans.....not so much :wink: If I was a Cardinals fan I wouldn't even flinch at throwing money at Burnett, since we all know if he goes to STL he'll become Walter Johnson. I wonder why more players don't consider that when choosing where to sign...

    So did many other coaches. Why is that important exactly? Cause it seems most coaches place their teams higher than the average? Not if the average is 2. I still can't believe Bellotti and Willingham both ranked the Ducks 4th and ND 9th. In comparison, Weis had the Irish 4th, but ranked Oregon sixth. It seems almost as if Bellotti and Willingham were trying to push Oregon into a BCS bowl somehow.

    I'd do it. But who do we get to play MI then?

    How long until we ban that website from being mentioned on this board?

    Approximately 36 million heartbeats closer to death. :willynilly: And another year full of Cub fans dying without ever seeing the team win a Series. :(

    On the one hand, I like the idea, set up a stacked team in the future. On the other hand, baker is gonna snap zambrano's arm, prior is going to take a line drive off the skull, and lee is never going to be more expensive to sign than he is at this moment. So I guess i'm saying that if I was feeling optimistic, I'd tell the cubs to forfeit 2006 Wow, that's pathetic That's what this team has done to us. Purposely forfeiting this next season is the OPTIMISTIC scenario.

    Only the Bulls could find a way to be losing when they're shooting 57 percent. Kirk out for the game with a concussion courtesy of Dirk's elbow. :(

    If I just had a sub-2.00 ERA season, there's no way in hell I'm retiring. And besides if he doesn't there's still a decent chance he can take up a big portion of Houston's payroll, keeping them from getting any better on offense.

    Harold should stick to evaluating baseball talent. http://www.annabenson.net sweet sassy molassy Anna Benson needs to go back to the trailer park that she came from. Complete trash. If she's trash then I'm gonna root through her like a rabid raccoon.

    I would say that Deivi Cruz will instantly become an All-Star but since the Cardinals won't have any injuries to Eckstein to facilitate that, I'll just say that he will now be the best backup middle IF in baseball.

    .Thumbs up. Hopefully Walt pulls a Hendry and signs Jacque Jones now. And Jones will go .305 / .365 / .460 b/c its the Cards. I doubt it. It's quite possible that Jacque Jones' suckiness is such that not even Cardinal pixie dust can make him an All-Star. I still wouldn't bet against it though. (Abraham Nunez 4 Life)

    $48/4 to play for the cards vs $55/5 for the blue jays? That would be an incredibly easy choice for me Fixed I think Careless was referring to the fact that Burnett grew up a Card fan and was applying that to his own hypothetical situation of being a Cub fan.
  15. Andy
    Absolutely not. Stay away, Jim.

    Ohio State should have played Florida State in the BCS, it could be the battle between Hundred Dollar Handshakes and Free Shoes. Let those teams battle it out for the Dirty Program Championship. Would you prefer to drop the holier-than-thou attitude now, or when JoePa and the Nittany Lions get whipped in Miami? Maybe a slice of humble pie would do those in PA well right now. I'd think PSU fans have gotten enough humble pie over the last five years to feed the entire poverty-stricken population of New York City. If they want to gloat, let them. I would too if my team was one fluke play from being unbeaten (rather than two :wink: ).

    If we're looking at Jacque Jones for RF, I'd rather have Kearns, who puts up better offensive numbers (over the last two seasons anyways) and save the team millions per year. Kearns also has the potential to be a whole lot better offensively. I really don't see Hendry pulling off the blockbuster for Dunn or Abreu. I didn't think there was a way in hell we pull off a Nomar deal at the deadline in 2004. Hendry is far from a genius, but I refuse to write off the possibility of a blockbuster trade at this point.
  18. Andy
    Thumbs up. Hopefully Walt pulls a Hendry and signs Jacque Jones now.

    Len must have tipped off someone at MSNBC! He's a madman!!!

    Get Kearns for RF, Wilkerson/Bradley for CF (patterson + prospect(s)), Lugo for SS (maybe)and we're set. Even with Cedeno/Walker Wilkerson/Bradley Kearns Collectively that is significant improvement to last years lineup. Wilkerson Walker 2B Lee Ramirez Kearns Barrett Murton Cedeno SS or Wilkerson Lugo SS Lee Ramirez Kearns Barrett Murton Cedeno 2B or Lugo SS Walker 2B Lee Bradley Ramirez Kearns Barrett Murton etc. You can really play around with lineup Going in to 06 with Murton, Cedeno and Kearns is a pretty big leap of faith. You're right. They're all too young. Pencil in Encarnacion, Neifi and Mabry for those three slots. Gotta break the kids in slowly, dude.
  21. Andy
    Why the hell is this not an official deal then?
  22. Andy
    Gammons didn't say that. He said Cubs need a 2b so Cedeno can play SS. I guess Walker doesn't count. :cry: a real big shame we did not go after Castillo. A really big shame we're hell bent on trading Walker. I like the latter comment better.
  23. Andy
    The talent is there and always has been. He was once considered a better prospect than Dunn. In his first season he put up a .900+ OPS at the age of 22. The next season he put up a .820 OPS in half a season at the age of 23. He's solid defensively and has good patience and while he doesn't have monster power, he has pretty decent pop. Plus, there's little to suggest that his decline in Cincy doesn't have a lot to do with the fact that the Reds have had 4 or 5 starter-caliber OFs the last few seasons.

    Pissed off? Happy? Dissappointed? Confused as to how to feel? What's the general consensus over there right now? Dissappointed and denial. Some "06 is over" type stuff. I feel relief and dissappointment all at the same time. Just move Rick Ankiel back to pitcher and start him instead. He'll win 20 games and have a 3.20 ERA or something like that. Anyone else feel like even though the Cubs have had a mediocre offseason, it's being made better just from everything else that's happening (i.e. Burnett leaving the NL, Dodgers throwing a mint at Furcal, everyone overpaying even more for relievers than we did, Cards possibly signing Jones and Boone, etc.)?
  25. Andy
    I'll make a Mitre/Nolasco for Kearns deal in a second but first I'll counter with a Mitre/inferior pitcher deal like WF22 said. If they don't bite I'd make the Mitre/Nolasco deal anyway.
