    Ya that is depressing I saw that too It also mentions the Royals being interested in Burnitz, the Cubs having interest in Mench, and Lee possibly signing an extension this offseason. I figured that when Lee exploded this year that JH would try to lock him up this spring. I'd applaud such a move. I've also heard Patterson + pitching prospect for Mench which sounds like a good deal.

    ND goes for it on 4th and 3 and Quinn throws it into double coverage, incomplete. Navy gets the ball in ND territory. This is why I hate playing Navy. They're not good enough for me to be pumped about the game but they always worry me.
  3. Andy
    At this point, Brady Quinn could run to the sideline, grab a chair, run back to the pocket, sit down, read a Harry Potter book, get up and throw passes. He's getting absurd amounts of time to throw.

    Touchdown Navy. Longest drive of the season on the ND defense, time-wise. 7-7.
  5. Andy
    Lamar Owens, the Navy QB, overthrows a wide open receiver in the end zone. 4th and inches for Navy at the ND 15 and they convert on a sneak.

    I don't think I've mentioned this lately, but thank the Lord that Urban Meyer turned ND down. Navy gets a break and doesn't get called for a delay of game when the clock said :00, they call timeout. 4th and 2 for the Middies inside the ND 40.
  7. Andy
    Holy crap, Quinn threw it like 5 yards out of the endzone and Stovall still comes down with it. So much for the dropsies! 7-0 ND.

    Since NBA on NBC was retired, ND Football on NBC has become my favorite TV sports theme. :D

    Go Michigan... OSU-UM is the only game in which I ever root for Michigan.

    Yeah, there's absolutely no metric by which the Sox were better because of "smart ball".

    If we get both those guys and Walker starts at 2nd, we've got a contender. I'm not getting my hopes up for Giles though.

    Bulls/Jazz tonight at 8:30 ET at the UC. Fans outside Chicagoland can finally watch a Bulls game as this one is on the Superstation WGN. Chris Duhon is not expected to start, and he will be a game time decision with his knee contusion that kept him out on Wednesday. Expected starters for the Bulls: Hinrich Piatkowski Nocioni Songaila Chandler For the Jazz: Keith McLeod Gordon Giricek Andrei Kirilenko Mehmet Okur Greg Ostertag

    My plan for the day is thus: 1 pm - ND/Navy 4 pm - BSU basketball exhibition game 6 pm - listen to BSU/EMU on radio 8:30 pm - Bulls/Jazz on WGN Superstation This could be a fantastic day or an utterly depressing one.

    Lucky for us he does still walk in the number four spot, .374 OBP batting fourth over the past three years. I think Geech was trying to say that Adam Dunn's high OBP is more likely to produce benefits when he is on base for Lee and Ramirez as opposed to being on base for Ramirez and Barrett, Ramirez and Encarnacion or what have you.

    I respect your opinion Cardsfan, would you sign a shortstop for that money, especially if you were in the Cubs situation? Consider that the Cubs are competing with the White Sox and have to please the fans now. The Cubs are probably getting to the point where they need to please the fans regardless of the White Sox. The Cubs have been raising payroll the last few years, had a mega-talented team in 2004, and still have failed to deliver the desired results. IMO the margin for error is decreasing whether or not the Sox win it. Would anyone on this board not be calling for Giles/Dunn/etc. if the Sox had gone 70-92?

    Dude, we can't be signing any contracts longer than four years. It's too risky. - JH :roll:
  17. Andy
    Those are even worse than the version they've been selling with the blue lettering.

    If I was Nomar, I'd tell Hendry and the Cubs to go jump into Lake Michigan. That's why I said 6M, which is much more than he's likely to draw from other teams. I'd also throw in incentives to take it up to about 8.5M if he stayed healthy and produced.
  19. Andy
    I'd be ecstatic at that lineup if JH could pull it off.
  20. Andy
    This is ridiculous. If it takes more than 4/36 to get Furcal then call up Nomar, he's coming back with Cedeno as the backup plan. Give Nomar a 1 year 6M contract and call it a day.
  21. Andy
    In my opinion, thank God you're not GM of the Cubs. I wouldn't say that. That's hardly the worst lineup that the Cubs could end up with. That said I don't think the Cubs need Burnett, I don't think they want Burnett, and I hope we don't end up with Kearns and I hope Ronny doesn't end up batting 2nd.
  22. Andy
    Those damn blackout rules forced Yes, Dear reruns to be shown up on the Indy Fox affiliate instead of the Panthers/Bucs game last week.
  23. Andy
    Dusty Baker would never bat Dunn 2nd, ever. Dunn would be 4th between Lee and Ramirez because of the almighty R/L/R.
  24. Andy
    Yeah, that was tough to swallow. I think Sosa's OPS was 1.170-something and Bonds' was over 1.300. Too big of a gap to really consider Sosa. However, had we ended up in the postseason, I'm sure the writers would've given it to him, or at least thought about it. The 2nd-best hitter in the Giants' lineup that season was then-defending MVP Jeff Kent. The 2nd-best hitter in the Cubs' lineup was Fred McGriff, and only for half a season. In the other half of that season, the 2nd-best hitter in the Cubs lineup was Rondell White. That's why I thought Sammy deserved it.
  25. Andy
    What might it take to convince the Sox to unload him? I don't know for certain, but it would be more than the Cubs are willing to give up, that I can guarantee.
