If the Bulls signed LeBron, I'd trade in my Blackhawks jersey for a Bulls jersey.

I think I've seen that video.

Can't say I'm going to miss the airflow helmets or the red-billed caps. I hated both of them.

I think the chances of Peavy agreeing to a trade to the Pirates are slim and none.

Floyd jumps as high as I do.

I can't imagine a single thing that Lou would want to be doing that Hendry isn't allowing him to do, other than working with a great roster that is.

hey, you know what, scotty, since you got wright out two nights ago, i guess i'm not mad at you for giving up the hit yesterday. getting him out two days ago is good enough for me. I don't understand getting pissed at pitchers for giving up hits. All the pitcher can do is throw the ball. A ball in play that isn't a rocket/homer is going to fall in or be an out pretty much at random. i'm just annoyed by his excuses. Understandable. Although at least his excuses are actually pretty accurate. It's probably best to say nothing, but then you go the other way with Dempster tipping his cap to everybody. Yesterday's game leaves a bad taste in everybody's mouth, but it boils down to two things in my opinion, Dempster not getting regular work leading up to the game, and Dempster not throwing strikes. I can't be pissed at Eyre for that loss. I can't blame Theriot for not getting the ball or Murton for not throwing the runner out. They scored 5 runs with a banged up lineup, the starting pitching and most of the bullpen was fine. It was Dempster and the walks that lost that game.

What's the matter with this team is they are far too willing to accept players' flaws, or they just ignore them, and don't do anything to offset. It's fine to have a all glove no hit shortstop, assuming the rest of your lineup is good. It's fine to have a defensively flawed OF, as long as your pitching and hitting is strong. It's not like the Cubs are acquiring guys with impeccable resumes and they are just falling apart on the Cubs. Soriano has always been a poor man's "star". Lee was never an elite 1B. He had one elite year, but the fluke factor, age and health probably means he will go back to being a 2nd tier 1B. The pitchers with control problems have always had control problems. They didn't just develop them with the Cubs. It's a poorly constructed team. It's talented, but it's all mismatched talent. And I think people blow out of proportion things like missed cutoff men and leaving the bases loaded or not hitting in the clutch as strictly a Cubs thing. I think it is pretty clear that Hendry panicked, had his little Joel Goodsen "sometimes you just have to say what the (frick)", and tried to patchwork a team together while hoping Pinielle would just make things work. His infatuation with big name managers exposes his nonsensical view that is probably tied to his days managing college players. He thinks a manager can win you games and he's got too much of a college, rah rah, we'll fight our way to victory attitude, when really he needs to put more thought into acquring a team of players that should win a lot of games, instead of a team that could win if everything works out for the best.

What makes Walker more valuable than Ward? Ward had the better year last year by far. Before that, Walker had the better years-but if Ward regresses back to his usual year and Walker keeps declining, then Ward will likely be slightly better. Both can play 3 positions-Walker the 3 in the infield, Ward the two in the OF and 1B. What is there to justify eating a million by dropping Ward and signing Walker? Please read what I wrote. I said, pretty clearly, that it was worth considering. I did not say that Walker was better than Ward. You should always look to improve your team, and if Walker is an upgrade, then it might be worth it. I remember Walker being really bad as a pinch hitter for us though. I don't see the value in him right now for us. There are no guarantees of Ward repeating last year. Pinch hitting numbers aren't very reliable in predicting future performance. But Lenny Harris has the most PH ever.

Wha? Man I remember playing Madden '98 or '99 and always grabbing that guy if I did the fantasy draft... I thought he was out of the league like 5 years ago. the ticker said out of the league since 2000

ESPN radio or TV? The radio has podcasts so you can hear it again... radio

Just saw one list. It had the Yankees at 97.5 (I'll take the under) Cardinals at 86 and Cubs at 84.5. Considering I'm hoping for 85 from the Cubs, that's a tough call. But with money on the line I'd probably take the under.

I heard the guys on ESPN radio talk about over/under for total victories this year, but I didn't listen long enough to hear any specifics. Anybody know they are? This is always a fun bet. I'm guessing they'll have the Cubs relatively high, like around 85, since they are always overbet. Same with the Yankees (95/96?).

This man is insane. Trade excess OF talent for bullpen help? That's just dumb. It's Nate Silver in his updated NL Central PECOTA report. I know.
