  1. Not to sound like a troll but, the Cubs should only do that deal if they believe they are one player away from seriously contending for the world series. That's stupid. We have the money to spend, we need to improve our outfield, and Giles does that. We cant dick around and make little piddling improvements until we get close enough to a WS that one player will put us over the hump. We need big changes, now.
  2. What makes you think Morneau can play the OF? You say it with such certainty, but he's never played the OF in the majors.
  3. i hate card fans.
  4. thanx
  5. no
  6. Give me Pujols.
  7. you should have run full speed at him and then gone into a slide, only to see him dive out of the way.
  8. Last night at the bar, we all decided Astros in six which means it wont happen
  9. i know mickey tettleton
  10. Oswalt is so amazing, I would kill to have him on our team.
  11. oh wait, billy goat.
  12. god hates me
  13. spiderman is a ponce. "oh no, gee, i cant decide if i want to fight crime or hop on this hot chick, oh golly gee, im so torn, let me put on some linkin park and write on my livejournal" meanwhile Bruce Wayne is out blowing money, taking loads of chicks for rides in his six figure cars, and oh yeah, putting on a suit that doesnt make him look like a fairy, and kicking criminal A without superpowers. Advantage - BATMAN
  14. All they are seeing is that Brian Giles is a free agent OF, we need Outfielders, and we have a lot of money to spend. the end.
  15. Ugh, I saw that this thread had balooned in size, so I thought there might be some actual baseball talk. Instead it's the usual crew humping each other over what great fans they are.
  16. Ryne Sandberg, anyone? This is ridiculous. Except Ryno didn't lose his hair until he was 40. Are you suggesting Pujols is 40? :shrug: MATT WILLIAMS. As a child I was terrified when I first saw him taking off his hat. I almost became a Robby Thompson fan after that.
  17. Go, wear a Sox shirt, with an Astros or Cards shirt underneath. Cheer your heart out the entire game (for the Sox), then, in the closing moments of the ninth inning, rip off the sox shirt, scram like a madman, and beat ozzie guillen to death while he makes a pitching change, all while Hawk Harrelson is yelling "OH MY GOD, THATS A CARDINAL/ASTRO FAN"
  18. I hope Oswalt doesnt bean him. Why risk an ump that may have an itchy trigger finger? Plus I dont think that Pujols deserves it, he did what everyone else would have done in that situation. I mean, he literally saved St. Louis season, he can take 4 or 5 slow steps toward first while watching the ball land?
  19. I'm actually for signing Lofton if we don't get Giles. I think full years of Giles and Murton are big enough upgrades that as long as we get healthy years from the MI (Walker, Nomar/Furcal), we can afford Corey in the lineup. If we have to sign Burnitz again (or another retread like him), then I think we should pick up Lofton, and hope he can play half a season as well as he did last year. Of course, if we're stuck with Cedeno/Neifi at ss, and Murton in left, I think we have to look at any possible upgrades, whether it be Lofton, Preston Wilson, whatever.
  20. Furcal and Lofton seems redundant. I'd rather sign Furcal, keep Corey and just let him hit 8th ALL YEAR, and sign Giles. Keep Murton in left, I guess. Furcal Giles Lee Ramirez Walker Barrett Murton Corey
  21. It's got to be. In fact, I think it's a couple more than that. He's not very efficient. That's right at 72%. Isn't that the magic number? Or did they raise it?
  22. I think Podsednik was 52/73, something like that. EDIT 59SB 23CS
  23. And Robertson made the league minimum! What a bargain.
  24. They wont cancel the world series because of this will they?
