    No word yet on whether Kolb's tail will be between his legs when he makes his return.

    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.

    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...

    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.
  7. 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.
  8. Andy
    For a second, because this came after a Macias post, I thought you were referring to him, and not Nomar. I was about to have you committed, involuntarily to the nearest mental facility. For your own good, of course. I'm going to be honest...I passed that post up too, but only because I didn't really know what to say since it was after a Macias post.

    In March: Wood will miss April. In April: Wood will miss May and part of June. In May: Wood is gone till the All-Star break. We know how this process goes.
  10. Andy
    Wood is likely not going anywhere with his NTC. CPatt, Welly and a bucket of balls should land Milton Bradley for RF. We have a good second baseman - Walker. No reason to trade him. That leaves Williams and Koronka, who could probably not land anyone all that much better than Cedeno in a trade.

    Another good move for the non-existent Red Sox GM.

    I clicked the press conference link on Cubs.com and am getting video streaming of MLB.com Radio, so it appears at least that you might be able to actually watch the press conference. Just FYI.

    That prediction made me wonder, so I checked and I was surprised. OSU has given up more than 25 points just once this year, 31 at Minnesota. Other highs were 25 v. Texas, 24 v. Michigan St., and 21 at Michigan. They gave up 10 or fewer points 5 times(N'western, SDSU, @Indiana, Iowa, Illinois). Not trying to make anything of your prediction, just seeing it got me thinking, and what I found I thought was interesting. I agree with you completely. If Texas, who scores 50.9 PPG and get on average 522 yards per game can't put up 27 against OSU, I don't see Notre Dame, who scores 38.2 PPG and gets on average 505.4 YPG, putting up 27.When it comes to offense: Charlie Weis > Mack Brown JMHO. Although I wouldn't be at all surprised if the game ends up being lower-scoring than that.

    That's a photoshop? Doesn't look like one...
  15. Andy
    No real news on BBTN today but I saw Eric Wedge being interviewed and was compelled to say that he looks remarkably similar to good old JR Ewing himself.
  16. Andy
    [jaws music] :lol: :lol: :lol:
  17. Andy
    Is he really that offensive to Hendry's plans that we can't find a spot for him to play SOMEWHERE?! His bat really came alive when he got back from his injury, and didn't seem to be the negative guy that the Red Sox media machine made him out to be. Hendry has said numerous times that if Nomar was willing to play OF he would be signed already. It looks like he wants to be a SS or at least an infielder, and there's no room for him here.
  18. Andy
    Good deal for KC, especially if Bayliss is as mediocre as Rotoworld claims.
  19. Andy
    Is Flip Wilson available? Is Flip Wilson alive? That's a no.
  20. Andy
    Jayson Stark just said that he expects Bradley to be a Cub. "Maybe not this week", said Stark, but he thinks Bradley will end up on the North Side.
  21. Andy
    Make the prospect a Rich Hill type and not a Felix Pie type and I'll take it. Floyd as our RF would be easy to take.
  22. Andy
    Did they make sure his nametag read Len Kasper and not Len Casper? (That's the best of the many pathetically lame jokes that ran through my head...)
  23. Andy
    Damon Buford? No no no. If anything, the number should be retired in honor of Scott McClain. :wink: That said, the number should be open for Pierre once he gets around to picking his Cubs uniform number. Henry Blanco, Jody Gerut and Scott McClain all had flings with the number 9 last season. But Pierre will get his 9.
  24. Andy
    Probably a decent move by Tampa. Brazelton has shown little more than flashes in the couple of years he's been with the big club. Most likely, it's just trading damaged goods for damaged goods, though.

    I think that if SF can come within two of the Seahawks, then the Colts can certainly beat Seattle.
