    ROAR LIKE ANIMAL!!! THE BEARS ARE MIGHTY!!! As a reward they get to devour Ryan Dempster whole as a human sacrifice to their awesomeness.

    You'd only bat him higher a slot or two for the dingers. We all know this. Nobody's expecting him to suddenly start clogging. Zambrano's got 2 dingers? At the very least. Why do you think everyone was staring so much when he dropped his pants to show how he wasn't hurt from snapping the bat?

    As much as I like the ol' red head, I'd hand him over in a flash for Manny, drama and all.

    I know it's total bull, but I brought up while watching the opener this year that the Cubs have beaten up on the Reds since 2003 when they open there and it's always just been a false hope for the upcoming season. I hate being right. The Cubs must lose opening day.

    Might need to have an alternate closer waiting in the wings, though. If his arm can't handle the pounding having 5 days of rest, how will it handle having to pitch, say, every day for 3 days and then another 2 after 1 day of rest in between? That's the life of a closer at times. Not that I don't want him. Just saying. howry can close. marmol needs to be switched to the pen in 2007 imo too so they might as well try him at closing in iowa. I'd rather see Mateo guided towards that role than Marmol.

    Zambrano and Hill and Aramis are the only things not crushing our souls.

    Z is a monster. His new dance around the mound will delight children throughout the ages.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    I think any realistic trade for A-Rod would have to include Aramis or Zambrano. No way around it.

    I blame myself. I knew finally getting to watch one of his games would ruin everything. I apologize to one and all for my mistake.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    I don't think anyone is counting on Wood as the only option as closer. Dempster, Howry, Eyre, Wuertz and even Mateo (down the line) could slide in there as needed.

    Sadly, this is the most likely course of action brought up so far in this thread.

    I have long been a fan of the idea of Kerry Wood: Super Closer, and will only refer to him as such until my dream comes to life.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I have yet to actually been able to see any of Hill's great games over the last month or so...will I jinx it if I finally watch him tonight?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Then they will need to replace both CF and RF. Doesn't matter, either way they needed to replace 2 guys out there, IMO. I always come back to my idea of platooning Murton with Jacque with the idea he'd hopefully be able to take over RF after a year or two. Get big bopper for LF a la Dunn, C-Lee, etc. and haul up Pie.

    Do it right, dammit.

    Lack of clutch hitting. Not enough hustle. Need more guys who put the ball in play. Walks clog the bases. The list keeps on growing...

    I hope Miller keeps this up and does the Cubs a solid and comes back cheap next year.

    I've always wanted to say this. Can I borrow your time machine? Are you implying that Maddux is still a consistent pitcher? He has a 4.22 ERA this year, and is the type of pitcher that can keep you in the game, would be great around all of our rookies, and I beleive he still has the stuff to be a good #5. But as I said I would not offer him a whole lot. A 4.22 ERA isn't good. He took the Cubs out of games just as much as he kept them in them, and if he's such a good influence on our young pitchers then hire him to be a pitching coach or a bench coach. He's not worth committing a rotation spot to what should be a retooling team next season. If we got a 4.22 ERA out of our fifth starter, I would be ecstatic. In fact-if you told me before the season that I'd have a guaranteed 4.22 ERA from every single pitcher before the season, I'd sign on to that in a second-we'd move from 25th in pitching in the league rankings to 8th. If we can have a 5th starter with a 4.22 (or even a 4.4 or 4.5) he still would be better than just about any fifth starter in the league, and combined with a good bullpen we could have one of the better starting staffs in the entire league. I agree with a lot of this, but do you really want to pay your #5 guy what Maddux is likely to command/demand if he keeps playing?

    His dad should go congratulate him in person. And then stay there.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Resistance is futile.

    Your continued attempts to somehow compare Hill and Theriot are completely nonsensical. Again, stop ignoring Theriot's career numbers. They'll tell you a LOT more about him than this tiny burst of power hitting over the last 2-3 weeks. blah blah blah. if u didnt know talent when you saw it with hill why should theriot be any different? I did see talent in Hill...in his stellar minor league numbers. That's why I was so frustrated with him when he was tanking it up in the bigs. If anything, Hill's career is backing up my point...these guys' minor league numbers often help give you a damn good idea of what they're capable of. Theriot's don't even come close to sustaining what he's been doing for really only about a month.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    What people are saying is that our offense is so bad we can't afford to give him that chance. And if we give up on next season, then there are players more deserving than Theriot that should get a shot. This is the truth.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I do and I agree. I think it just comes down to different schools of thought on the issue that aren't going to bend.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    look at oakland, the twins, st louis, detroit, & boston as far as 2b & ops. That doesn't support playing an average at best player almost every day on a team shooting to be average at best. Guys like Cedeno and Theriot are not Murton and Hill. They simply don't have the career indicators that support them being successful starters.
