  1. I'd rather have spent 13 million on Furcal than the 10+ million over 5 years that Burnett is going to get. I wouldn't feel any more comfortable with Burnett than Wood. There are better things to spend money on. With our luck, I don't feel comfortable with any Cub pitcher out there.
  2. My friend put his fist through a support pillar in his basement, breaking two of his fingers. This is when the Cardinals came back from like 5 runs or something in the ESPN Sunday Night game, Renteria hit a walk-off jack to win it. Instead of hitting things, I just drank. I remember that game, it was in 2002. That may have been an Alfonseca special. Every game in 2002 was an Alfonseca special. See: Cubs 6, White Sox 0, July 2002 turns into a loss.
  3. Any poll that has Oregon as a top-5 team has to be biased or wrong in some form or fashion. Their 10-1 record is no more impressive to me than West Virginia's 10-1 record and the Mountaineers are nowhere near top-5.
  4. LATimes.com either had website issues or dodged a land mine of blown stories.
  5. I just realized something. ND, Oregon, and OSU are ALL liable to be top-6 BCS teams next week (currently ranked OSU 6, Oregon 7 and ND 8 ), although top-6 at-large teams are supposed to be in automatically. How would that work?
  6. After JH's treatment of Neifi, nothing could sour their relationship IMO.
  7. The Cubs offered more (not more per, but more) with more guaranteed years. That's the weird thing about this. Turning down a 5-year deal for a 3-year deal flies in the face of all agent logic.
  8. Just to note: USC's FB's comments about beating up on those "pansies" proved correct, did it not? And they definitely did not let up, throwing for a TD up 45-6 late in the 3rd.
  9. I don't, I laugh at them. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: to anyone who read this and went to bed and assumed Furcal was a Dodger.
  10. If you click the link, the article is still there. The LATimes.com Dodgers site doesn't have it up there, however. Excellent, I love when the media screws up.
  11. Hmmmmm... Who else sees a "Furcal to Cubs at 5/48" story coming?
  12. Maybe the national media will lay off ND now that they have Florida State to bash. I'm probably grasping at straws but at least there's hope.
  13. And the plot thickens... HAHA. This is awesome. I'm loving every minute of this crap. Some one PM Len. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Maybe Len is a step ahead of the LA media.
  14. I would as fell. :lol: :lol: :lol:
  15. No word yet on what Len thinks of Furcal ruining his "Furcal is a Cub" scoop? :P
  16. Vance we need more pics of your source for "verification".
  17. He was having problems well before a testing program was put in place, I think that's a ridiculous assessment.
  18. Gut feeling: Not getting Furcal becomes a blessing in disguise.
  19. Why? Let Cedeno start and address the outfield situation instead. If you get good bats for CF and RF, no one should have a problem with Cedeno starting. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if the Cubs did get Lugo. However, I would complain if they panicked due to losing out on Furcal and decided to give up way to much for Lugo when they already have a very solid option on the roster in Cedeno. hey i would love Cedeno to be the starting SS. However, I'm a realist and it's not going to happen with Johnnie B. Baker as the manager. Then Hendry might want to consider offering an apology and a reasonable contract to Nomar. I wouldn't come within ten miles of Hendry if I was Nomar.
  20. My free agent guesses ballot agrees with you. LOL
  21. Aha! I was wondering why he'd possibly decline 5/nearly 50 for 3/40. (The LA Times article said that we had offered him 5 years and just under 50 mill.)
  22. 34-14 I meant BCS results. Add the impending VT loss Sadly for the Tigers, there's a decent chance that they'll be passed up for the BCS bowl. It's now an LSU/O$U/Oregon derby for the 2nd at-large. I honestly don't know which one I'd give it to (between the Tigers and Buckeyes). VT's going to the Gator Bowl. They don't deserve a BCS berth by any means, sucking as bad as they did in their two biggest games.
  23. I'm not going into full-fledged panic until Dusty tells a presser any kind of BS about breaking Ronny in slowly. Then I'll run for my life.
  24. Comedy gold. Literally 20 minutes after we're told Furcal to the Cubs is done, we find out Furcal to the Dodgers is done.
