  1. I'm not surprised. I had a feeling when Demp got his deal we would be out of the Peavy sweepstakes. I'm a bit disappointed but Hendry can make it up by signing Furcal and Bradley :) No way he could afford both of those guys Good, because signing Bradley would be bad idea.
  2. Amazing year on a not that good team while injured. He's basically the MVP of baseball, period. If Howard had gotten it playing like pure ass for around 50% of the season, I would have plotzed.
  3. OK, now we can cut the isht and start the quest for the better draft pick that Angelos will screw up.
  4. How has this team won 5 games? This is embarassing on all levels.
  5. Hey there, sailor. Where have YOU been?
  6. No it's not. When you let the QB go 7 for 7 to start the game, you're only screwing yourself.
  7. This is going to be brutal. No pressure on the QB and no pass defense.
  8. From the neckbeard down? Well played.
  9. The Bears don't have an Achilles' Heel...they have an Achilles' Everything From the Neck Down.
  10. I'm amused about a suggestion of Griffey for RF and then talk of a "train wreck" in LF.
  11. I'd like to think that the likely 80 or so HR's our corner OFers would produce would at least weigh in on Jim's mind.
  12. I thought everyone hated Cubs.com and BleedCubbieBlue uber alles. I always like reading Desipio and TCR.
  13. This quote in the article scares the Howry out of me. If Dempster somehow signs elsewhere the "contingency plan" had better be Derek Lowe, AJ Burnett, or get a deal done for Peavy at all costs. Signing Randy Johnson to a one year deal is not a contingency plan. No way we are going to outbid NY for Lowe or Burnett. I agree. But, assuming they get CC, they aren't going to be able to get every decent starter on the market. If they don't get CC, then yes, that makes Hendry's job a whole lot harder. I think they are going after CC and Burnett and/or Lowe. Don't forget they are getting 80 million off the books and a new stadium. They have a ton of cash to burn. Exactly. Even if they didn't have that money coming off the books, they'd still have a ton to spend. The Yankees are going to get whoever opts to accept their deals.
  14. Why can't they keep giving him one year deals if he'll take them? Look, I like Kerry, but if you can hold onto avaluable asset with ideal deals like that, YOU DO IT. You don't put the best team out there by making the "nice" decision.
  15. What the fudge, Jim. He's willing to take a one year deal. WHAT THE FUDGE.
  16. To me Harris sounds like a guy whose feelings are hurt. Urlacher sounds more arrogant/confident that they will step up when it matters. I guess it hasn't mattered for him yet this season.
  17. No it wasn't.
  18. This isht is real.
  19. I feel like we're on a bus that's rigged to explode, and I'm Alex Winter.
  20. Yeah, emotionally this is beating me up, but logically it makes sense. The Cubs need the money to bump up the offense and the starting rotation and Marmol can close. Yeah, the bullpen isn't a sure thing, but I'd be pissed if too much money was spent there instead of where it's really needed. People will step up in the 'pen for much less money and get the job done.
  21. You know he has like 100 posts in like 5 years, right? I'm not saying I believe him, but he's rarely on here anyways and when he posts it's been late at night, so I'm not sure what your point is. My point? Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. Who cares about his "history?" It's a post. Whoopedee-doo.
  22. Jim Hendry of 2005 wonders why that's funny. The Cubs fans of 2005-2006 can think of 179 reasons.
  23. The Packers' pass game is going to shred the Bears with the glut of receivers they can spread i around to. This isn't going to be pretty.
  24. Definitely. The bullpen is nowhere near being a disaster or even really a liability. Bullpen pitchers are typically such crapshoots anyway. The Cubs hae a bunch of cheaps guys they can plug in there...sign Wood, boom, done.
