    I know it's popular opinion that if we get #6 we should trade down and all, and I understand the wisdom of that.... But I gotta be honest. I want Landry.
  2. Banedon
    What's the difference? Level of competition makes it easier to get a higher rating in college?

    So did you vote yes or no? The question wasn't "Are you taking action against man made global warming?"...it was do you believe it's a problem?

    Well I would rather see Quinn go early than fall to the Vikings at #7. I'd prefer they keep having QB issues.

    That's baller money. When I'm rich and famous, I promise not to forget the little people...

    That's true. Every day he has no value. :lol:
  8. Banedon
    Simple yes or no answer.

    Not exactly earthshaking news.

    I wonder if the Redskins deal would be contingent on who was on the board when the 6 pick rolls around? Perhaps this doesn't happen until the Skins are on the clock?

    I need the Cubs to sweep. I have whole $1 bet on the series. I get $2 on a sweep. Heck yeah, I'm a high roller like that.

    I really wonder what they would do with that pick. Quinn won't be there...he's gonna go to Cleveland. It's probably too high to get Landry. I don't see us taking another running back in Petersen... Trade back with Dolphins if Quinn drops? That would make the most sense. I don't think the Bears want to stay at #6. Nine isn't much better (as far as having to pay out a cheaper contract), but the extra pick I'm assuming they'd pick up would make it worth it. I think we could see a case of the Bears picking BPA at 9, and then overdrafting a couple players at 31 and 37 so they can get some relief with their salaries. Maybe reaching on a LB like Durant at 31, though there are rumors he could go to the Colts at 32. And maybe reaching for a safety at 37. I just keep hearing about how trade downs are going to be so difficult in this draft.

    We are in last place. Shhhh :-& Ahhh...He meant Pitt. Oh. Haha :oops: When someone says "We're" I assume he means the Cubs. Didn't know we had Pitt fans on this site. There are Pitt fans, Card fans, we've had Astro fans, Boston fans (though that guy hasn't posted in a while), and I think we have a certain section Adam Dunn fans that may qualify as dual Cub/Reds fans....heh.

    Would the Denver deal be straight up? AND HOORAY ABOUT LANDRY! Not sure, but my guess is yes. And I would probably take it. Over the Washington deal if it's actually available?

    Agreed. A long-term deal doesn't make much sense at this point. The Cubs control him for 2 more cheap years anyway. He's not going to even start throwing until 08. If we let him walk, then those "cheap years" will be exactly what this email was about. if Dr. Andrews is right, he'll rehab on the Cubs, and then go somewhere else and return to maybe a 2 or 3 pitcher in the rotation. I'd rather pay him 3 million a year to rehab and pray for a return to 2003-2005, than pay guys like Jockstrap and Itzcrappy, Neifi, Macias etc. money we are/have paid them. If he rehabs and goes elsewhere and returns to prominence, I don't want to hear one word about curses. We can extend him on the cheap, and we should take that chance. If we don't, it's our organizations fault. I'm not sure if you really mean this, but he should be throwing during rehab. Andrews said that he thinks Prior can actually pitch in 08...that would mean he'd be throwing far before then... And that would mean we'd have next year to evaluate whether or not he's worth keeping after 08.
  18. Banedon
    That's just the thing... Prior claimed all spring that his arm felt fine and he had no pain or discomfort throwing. IMO that's one really mystifying piece of this story. Was he lying, in hopes of sneaking onto the active roster to keep his service time accruing? Is there any chance that he's actually so tough that something that would "hurt like heck" for most guys didn't bother him? How ironic would that be... My guess is that people kept telling him there was nothing wrong and he kept hearing fans and media thinking he was a wuss. He may have just been trying to pitch through it.

    It's too bad the general public won't see that article.

    The Murtons??? I'm just shocked that Cliff would forget to mention him....

    Admittedly, this is only one example, but... 2006 World Series Champion StL Cardinals record in one-run games...22-27.

    ok...but putting that in context...seattle didn't make the postseason...therefore, it has no event on my arguement are you serious? yes I'm confused as to why the Seattle record "has no event". The point was that Seattle had a winning record in one run games, and yet that didn't affect their overall record. Indians had a losing record in one run games, and yet they managed to still win 93 games. Those are both significant in that it shows that one run games have little to no effect on overall record. Who made the playoffs has nothing to do with anything. yeah, i meant to say no bearing...i am just waking up...sorry for the shoddy typing... but i am not relating it to the season...i am trying to relate it to the postseason and series I see. I'm not sure why we should be concerned about our one-run record then, because if we don't make the playoffs, it doesn't matter at all then. It's April, and we're 5 games back already. Lets just concentrate on getting back to .500...blowouts or not.

    I disagree. I think it should be a CD. Phonograph please.
