Have you fixed your bad mechanics so you won't get injured again? Isn't it Ironic that you joked/took a stab at Steve Stone criticizing your mechanics earlier in the year by saying "Maybe someone can teach me better Mechanics, I don't know", and then later in the year you were shut down YET AGAIN!!? When you go down again next year, will you please stay in the 8th inning, because that's the only way you can actually help this team. Would you please waive your non trade clause to get traded so you don't ruin another one of our chances with your injuries? feel free to use any one of those. . . :roll: why is it that people expect wood to be able to 'fix' his broken mechanics? if his mechanics are bad and are the cause of his injury, complain about the coaching staff failing to fix them, not a guy in his mid 20s w/ no coaching/mechanic fixing experience. it's not like rothschild has the magic key to fix the problem but wood has refused to use it. At $12 million for 2006, I expect this bum to lead the team. I expect more than 14 wins. I expect him to be man enough to change his mechanics in order to fulfill his obligations. Take responsiblity for your previous failures and waive your no-trade clause. No kidding. If we fans who have never played professional baseball can tell he needs to correct his pitching mechanics, then KW should be able to recognize and fix his problem. Just because he's in his 20s and isn't a coach doesn't absolve him of his responsibility. Ok, well how would you fix his mechanics? Oh, right, you wouldnt, because you have no idea how to do that, do you?

my first Cub game was a 4-2 (?) win over the Reds in May 2000. Tapani was the starting pitcher, and got the win. I never had so much fun in my life, all of us yelling "COME ON TAP" the whole game. At that point, I had been a Cub fan for over a decade, but that was still so affirming and fun.

IMO the closest to "perfect" players are: ARod, M.Cabrara, and Pujols. Great hitters and very good on defense. The rest have their goods and bads and you determine if that will help your team or not. Add David Wright to that list if you're going to put Miggy on there. I've seen Wright play quite often and I want to give him a couple of years before he makes my top 5. I love watching him play and he is going to be a major star no doubt about it but I think Miggy is a better hitter and that sways me a little more than the excellent defense Wright plays. I want Wright to make the basic plays better too and once he does then we'll see. Wright - 27HR 102RBI 17SB .306/.388/.523/.911 72BB 113K 575AB Miggy - 33HR 116RBI 1SB .323/.385/.561/.946 64BB 125K 613AB

is cheese cake pie? it certainly isnt cake.

i think he meant for there to be a comma between "why" and "did".

Saying that youre a good pitcher if you win 20 games is like saying that youre a good runningback if you rush for 1000 yards, both are meaningless stats unless looked at in context.

I dont know, 48 million for a 31 year old who lost 8 homeruns to doubles last season? That's a lot to pay for a guy who may never put an ops of over .850 up again.

i love furcal, but id take lugo and giles and laugh all the way to the playoffs.

Astacio is hideous, HE HAS A WHOLE NOTHER ECO SYSTEM GROWING ON HIS FACE.

yank yank yank, these awards suck every year. Watch Andruw win the MVP now.

Yeah right, we all know that it went like this Hendry: Hey, we'd like to sign Niefi to.... Kinzer: WE'LL TAKE IT!

Why did you put Texas Techs schedule on there? That's Kansas State's schedule, fool.

at this point, Cedeno may have to literally "break in" to get into the starting lineup. And by break in, I mean, break in, and write his name on the lineup card.

i went to highschool with a japanese guy that could barely speak any english. He did speak enough, however, to refer to Patrick Ewing as "Evolution".

Why? that makes no sense, Niefi and Walker will make the same exact amount next season, and Walker is clearly superior. Face it, Hendry is not a good gm, it's time we accepted that and moved on.

It's not a shame for BJ Ryan, however.

on winning the 2006 NL Central.

2006 Cubs, we're shooting for 100!

hahahahahahahhahaha awesome, this organization is so bad. im glad i was already resigned for this to happen.

The only players I hate are Cubs.

Francouer will be fine. All he has to do is walk 60 times a season to be on average, he's a good enough player to pull that off eventually.

An injury prone pitcher and an overrated SS for 20-25m a year? We're talking about Burnett and Furcal, not Renteria and Morris, or whatever, your messageboard is thataway.

Burnett and Furcal would make me crazy happy.
