    Is this BA/OBP/SLG? If so I will go with .280/.330/.510.

    I can't wait for this game. I expect a classic. Of course lately those have become commonplace for Miami-VT.

    Not a fan, but yes. Offensive coordinator quit/resigned/stepped down but will stay on staff through end of season. Fullmer to call plays Sort of true. Fulmer and the entire offensive staff will share playcalling duties. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Tennessee's offense is just not good enough to keep up with ND's. GO IRISH! Vol fans better hope the rumor that David Cutcliffe is returning is true. That offense is in disarray and I don't think that Phil is the man to fix it. He needs help in a big way. I also heard a rumor that Cutcliffe has been talking to Fulmer regarding ND. Of course this had better just be a rumor or else... This had better be just a rumor, because if not for some medical problems Cutcliffe would still be ND's offensive coordinator. Not that I am complaning because Weis has proven himself worthy of playcalling himself. I was big time worried about the UT game earlier in the season and had they beaten SC I would still be worried. But right now the Vols seem like a team searching for an identity. If they can't score points on the Gamecocks or Tide, then they probably won't be able to score enough to overcome ND's stout offense. I think the Irish win this one by double digits.

    One of my friends worked at ESPN Radio 1000 over the summer and he said that Len Kasper was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, which made me like Len all the more. He's a great announcer and the Cubs got a steal with him. Too bad they can't do that at some on-the-field positions...

    You're kidding, right? You mean, "the other" 250 million dollar payroll" teams? :-k I just want them to win. Who cares how? Maybe it's just the Yankee-hater in me, but I want this drought broken by a team with a budget, not one that can just buy anyone they want. somehow the cubs will get by with their 100m+ payroll... somehow... :wink: Yes, it is our lot in life. Somehow, someway, we'll struggle through it and eventually overcome the limitations. :wink:

    Maybe go after a CF (Bradley/Cameron) with those extra starting arms we have, but I agree.. LF - Murton CF - Patterson (Bradley? ) RF - Giles 1B - Lee 2B - Walker SS - Furcal 3B - ARam C - Barrett To me, that lineup looks good enough to compete for the division. Amazing how much of a difference 2 signings would make. I think with Giles and Furcal, we could afford to let Patterson try one more time in CF. The line-up could be: Furcal SS Walker 2b Lee 1b Giles RF Ramirez 3b Patterson CF Murton LF Barrett C I think that line-up could conceivably be a top 3-4 offense. We could afford to let Patterson try again in center field but I would rather not chance it. Go and Get Bradley the Dodgers are in dump mode. Forget Furcal and get Nomar on the cheap. Walker Bradley Lee Giles Ramirez Nomar Barrett Murton man I wish the Cubs where the Yankee's and could replace Murton with Dunn, Manny, Floyd, Matsui. I'd rather the Cubs never win one than become one of those 250 million payroll super-teams.

    I checked this thread out to see how many posts it would take before Hendry was mentioned. We got 6. :lol:

    Andy replied to YearofDaCubs's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    OBP who? We've got great clubhouse chemistry and that's what counts! :roll:

    I agree - I've always thought he was one of the most overrated minds in baseball. My impression is that he's very good at dissecting in game situations, but terrible when it comes to evaluating players and teams as a whole. I completely agree. I honestly think that Stoney would make a much better skipper than GM. He knows how to use the talent given to him on the field. That being said, I doubt he'd want to be a manager and I doubt I'd want him as a manager. He'd be every bit as outgoing and brash as Ozzie though. The media would love him. I'll take Stoney over Dusty in a second.

    So that (very) roughly translates into 34 homeruns in a full season away from PETCO. What's the problem? He had 17 HR total, only 9 on the road. If Giles hit "only" 20-25 homers or so as a Cub next season and kept up his OBP production I would be very much fine with that.

    It's a little early to say something like that. Burnitz wasn't great but considering the time frame we were in after trading Sammy he was probably the best guy available. Now if we end up with some Willie Greene/Shane Andrews/Ron Coomer types plugged in at right field then we can talk.
  14. Andy
    Didn't he almost end his career because he got wasted and almost burned through his forearm with a lit cigar? That was him right? Something with him and putting fire to his pitching arm, I'm not sure of the specifics. I don't think you need specifics when you start a sentence with "Something with him and putting fire to his pitching arm". :lol:

    In my infinite genius I forgot to put Steve Smith back in the starting lineup for this week after the bye last week and he broke a bunch of Panther records today in torching the Vikings. Go figure. My team was beyond screwed anyway though, I think I might have single digit points in my Roto league this week.
  16. Andy
    Ah yes. I got rather used to that celebration last year when Muhammad was basically Carolina's whole offense. I'm doubly happy that a) we don't have a one man offense anymore and b) that Muhsin is enjoying such success on his new team. :)

    In all fairness, should UCLA get too much respect considering they had to come back from down 21 against a team that lost to UC Davis earlier this year? ND moved up to 8 with absolutely no one left on the schedule who can beat the Irish if they play even half as good as they can, so a BCS berth is all but a certainty.
  18. Andy
    Man, I want that Cleveland game back. Get the right call on the Benson "fumble" and the Bears are fighting for home field advantage! The Skins game was very winnable too. Carolina's two losses have both come on FGs inside 10 seconds left in the game, so they could well be 7-0 right now. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Too late now, no place to go but forward.
  19. Andy
    McQuarters just killed Orton. Lucky for the Bears.
  20. Andy
    Bears are challenging the overruling of the play. This is pretty hilarious...
  21. Andy
    Favre has 5 today, Culpepper had 5 against them, and Orton had 5 too. Wow, that's friggin ridiculous.
  22. Andy
    Holy crap, Jeff Garcia just got popped.
  23. Andy
    You guys are lucky to have Moose. We miss him in Carolina, but I'm glad he's having great success in Chicago. :D
  24. Andy
    I would have bet my house against Notre Dame's schedule turning into what it did. For all the talk about how the Irish were in danger of starting 0-6, only three teams on ND's entire schedule this year have winning records: Michigan, MSU and USC. I wouldn't be surprised if ND has more trouble with the Vols than people will think. They'll be playing their butts off trying to avoid being 3-5.
  25. Andy
    So much for paring down the field of unbeatens. We nearly had three, but then stubborn Texas and UCLA decided to be great teams again. :wink:
