    Guh? I sure would love to hear what Hendry thinks is a good trade that involves Prior. i feel like i just got punched in the stomach. If Prior gets traded for Tejada you better up that bet for the Peoria stop on the Cubs Convention. if prior gets traded for tejada (or anyone) im coming to peoria, and treeman wont even get his shot off because im going to beat the s out of hendry myself

    He knew that Jones was coming up and said 'why bother'? Seriously, just take your lead, watch him K, then toss your helmet to Sarge and wait for Neifi to scurry out with your hat and glove. Lee should bat with his fielding glove in his backpocket.

    Hahahahahaha, ok, go ahead and explain why you think it was a good signing. Go for it.

    I'm happy atleast one reporter is saying it. I hope it starts to come out in the Chicago Media. It's just overreaction and groupthink. Oh wait, he never posted here did he? oops.

    hell no, how could you? if the option is jones at three years, or waiting and hoping something else comes along, you wait and hope something else comes along. I mean, Jesus, it's not like Jones is going to put us over the top this year, if nothing else, you go with Patterson or Pie for a month and try to trade for someone with an expiring contract. If Jones had signed for one year, I would have been upset, but not really pissed at Hendry, considering there arent a lot of options, and it would only be a one year stop gap, but the fact that he hamstrung us with that contract for 3 years is unforgivable.

    Agreed. I think Nomar should be playing LF if anything. How is he going to make those stretches from 1b after a season where he completely tore up his groin? Glad to see him go to the Dodgers instead of the Astros though. It would have been pretty much a guarantee that he would have killed us if he played for the Astros. Does he have to stretch? McGriff never did when he was with the Cubs. He caught the ball right in front of the chest while standing stiffly upright. Karros only stretched a little. Sometimes veteran 1B's are cut quite a lot of slack for lazy defense. I never would've thought Randall Simon could stretch, but he did. Man I would love to see him back. wasnt he so bad in 2004 that he couldnt even get a deal for 2005? I guarantee you he can hit better than Macias did last year, or any of our pinch hitters for that matter. really? cause he had a .404 ops in 2004

    :roll: Here we go. Seriously, the post could be about trading for Jose Vidro and it would turn into, "Dusty doesn't play young players, he sucks...." Hilariously, what he actually said was "Dusty would play Rich Hill too much". Wtg.

    2 of the players are Cedric Griffin and Ramonce Taylor, btw.

    The Downtown Athletic Club has just announced that Brady Quinn has been awarded the 2006 Heisman Trophy. *pumps fists* Gets rid of a Heisman AND a national title contender. Pfft, it's a battle for second place after Chase Daniel. Mo Drew disagrees. So does AD. Wow, I totally forgot he existed (and UCLA played OU!). He'd be my #1 candidate for now, ahead of Quinn. I forgot too. I agree, he has a very good chance. How does Oklahoma look for next year? Unless they have a QB a heck of a lot better than Rhett Bomar coming, or Bomar improves by leaps and bounds, Peterson is going to be eliminated from the race by default. I wouldnt blame you for missing it, since OU was out of the national picture after day one, but by the end of the season, Bomar was 100% better than he was at the start. A lot of it has to do with, as a freshman, in 2004, he was essentially 4th on the depth chart, behind White, Grady and Thompson. That year, Thompson, even though he redshirted, was officially the backup. If White had gone down in a big game, Thompson's shirt would have been pulled, and he would have come in. So, Bomar got no snaps in 2004, and he had to split them in 2005. After he got some jitters out, and started getting all of the snaps in practice, he improved a ton.

    I hope that is sarcasm.... If I were the Cubs i'd just play the rookies, Cedeno, Pie, and Murton. If they put up the numbers Bill Jame projected i think we have a very good chance of making the playoffs. If not by 2007 they should all be ready for a big years. I got this from Gammons...Cubs CF Felix Pie to hit 21 HR and an .874 OPS; Cubs INF Ronnie Cedeno .310 with an .800 OPS; Murton .318 with an .859 OPS. I'm going to take a wild stab and say Gammons has probably never seen Pie play. If Pie has an .874 OPS, I'll assume that he will have to hit somewhere between .330-.350 to have that high of an OPS considering he has a walk rate that hovers right around where Corey's is, and he has yet to develop the power Corey had in 2003 when Corey's OPS was .840. Basically 3 rookies that will all hit .310 or better? I want some of what he's smoking. Yeah, there is no way Cedeno has an 800 ops. Is he really going to slug over .450 ihis first year n the majors? He'll be lucky to do that, like, ever.
