He spun around before it got hit out...I'd say that't a move....this will get overturned I'm pretty confident. HORRIBLE call.

Moose needs to CATCH THE BALL.

No you scored 1 TD. The other one was called back due to a penalty. Penalties against the Packers don't count. =P~

Think they'll hold it together for 4 quarters worth of that?

I really hate Favre.

Alex Brown getting up slow...PLEASE be ok!

Favre is hitting these throws too easy...

Great looking drive....I thought Mike Brown was gonna be in there today...what happened?

Give credit where credit is due....I posted it this morning :P Ahh...like I said, I could have easily missed it being posted.

Mlbtraderumors.com says that Levine reported this as the deal: Cubs receive Miguel Tejada and Erik Bedard for Mark Prior, Rich Hill, and Corey Patterson I hadn't seen Patterson's name in there before, though it could have easily been missed in all the Prior threads.

I think they have. That "4" looks like urine. Nah. A little too green. That wouldn't make sense unless they moved their practices to Zion. Apparently Urlacher, Hillenmeyer and Brendon Ayanbadejo built it. That's hilarious.

im much more amenable to trade guys like pie for tejada now that prior's name has been thrown around Begin Rant: Now that you bring that up I'm thinking that Hendry does have a plan this offseason. When he signed Eyre I thought it was a bad idea. When he traded Pinto, Nolasco, and Mitre for Pierre I thought to myself "dang, the Eyre signing doesn't look so bad now." Then he goes out and proclaims he's excited that Jacque Jones is going to be our starting RF for the next three years. At this point I'm saying to myself "Gee, I'm actually kind of glad we have Pierre now and that Eyre signing looks like a bargain." Just a few days later Hendry "leaks" news that he's using Prior as trade bait to try and get Tejada. By now a kick in the craw and a can of Natty Light sound pretty good. If we only end up losing Pie, Hill, Williams, and Guzman for Tejada we'll think it's the biggest steal since D.B. Cooper's heist. It's pure genius. Just keep making progressively worse and worse deals and your previous transactions look better and better. Eventually Cubs fans will be dancing in the street because we have Neifi Perez locked up for a few million a year. End Rant. Good point. I just mentioned in another thread that the Hedry Propaganda machine may also be adding the Prior doesn't want to be here thought in case Mark is traded. But this isn't some public report, it's JeffH's "source". JeffH... Jeff....Hendry???? Some relative??? =P~

If I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with the whole "he's just a little hurt, he's injured, there might be an elbow, no he's fine, he should be back soon, it might be another couple months, we don't know what's wrong." The way the Cubs handled it, it could be perceived by some that they were questioning Prior's toughness and wanted him to just fight through it. You mean he didn't love the "Prior Watch" as much as Cubs fans did???

Gotta love crazy Favre love....from CNNSI's fantasy forecasts: Palmer and Dilfer are the only 2 QB's to throw 2 TD's all year against the Bears. Favre hasn't thrown for one TD in the past 3 games, much less two!

here's my question. I read a few blogs and one in particular goes out of their way to point out that the Cubs didn't sign Tejada when they had the chance. now, I know the Cubs had the chance to do so but was CHicago a top-choice for Tejada? At the time we thought Nomar could stay healthy for us...didn't need a SS.

Are all Priors injuries due to freak incidents? I'm no expert but I recall he had hamstring and elbow (?) issues? Actually I believe it was his Achilles, not hamstring.

The CBS Sportsline Harmon Forecast: Hilarious...I seriously don't think they've picked the Bears all year.

You have no idea what Hendry will or won't do, unless you have some personal relationship with Jim that I'm unaware of? Dealing Pie in a package for a player like Abreu should be a no-brainer. I know I'm going to get killed for this, but so be it. Why are we anxious to trade a 20 year old centerfielder who scouts well and put up a .903 OPS in Double-A at age 20 for a 32 year old rightfielder who couldn't get his OPS over .900 last season playing in one of the best offensive parks in the National League, posted a .787 OPS after the All-Star break, and is due $30 million over the next two seasons? And not only him, but other valuable players, too? Goodness gracious. If you can trade an unproven commodity for a well-proven one, and you have the pockets to absorb that salary...why not? The Cubs have extra payroll to spend, so it's not like we need to be frugal here. Yes...maybe Pie turns into this baseball God, but Corey Patterson got a lot of hype...would you have traded him back before he came to the majors?

Both threads were started in the same minute...so I'm arbritrarily closing this one... :P http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/viewtopic.php?t=27757

Culpepper may want to play elsewhere in '06 Would anyone want him in Chicago?

Orton needs to shave....now.

Grossman is on Comcast right now....he's a little wired.... :D

I never was a Grossman hater, but I was an Orton apologist. I'm fully admitting I was wrong now though...
