  1. That's bad. Who cares what the color of their skin is. If they are good, I want them on my team. If I suck, I will call for their heads, as I did for Jones when he did suck. If it was a white player who had sucked likes Jones did in April w/ his contract, I would call for his head.
  2. BRILLIANT!! His first columm in a month and he rips the White Sox. While it was nice to see him rip the White Sox, he raises a good point in his columm: Here is the rest of the article: http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay01.html And I would agree, why isn't McCarthy in the rotation if he is so valued?? I mean Liriano spent about what 4-6 weeks in the pen before joining the rotation, why don't they put McCarthy in?? Even if he struggles, you're better off w/ a young guy getting an ass-whuppon than some unproductive veteren getting the ass-whuppon.
  3. I don't blame Aramis for wanting to. Adrian Beltre has a 5 yea 64M deal, Ramirez has better numbers than him, I would do it. Yes, I know Beltre chased in on a monster season, but even w/ that, Ramirez has had better #'s than Beltre.
  4. It's on WGN Worthless = Glendon + Neifi
  5. AL RIGHT!!
  6. There are not any other "kids" who are ready for the Bigs yet.... Williams as sucked at AAA Guzman has not been doing too well. and the Ryu guy has sucked too as far as i know. Who else is there that we saw in Sping Training???? no one. and theres not anyone who we didnt see in Spring Training that is blowing the minor leagues away.. so therefore there are no other kids to call up.dvdd127: If we are to get an ass-whuppon, would you rather have us get that whuppon w/ some unproductive veteren, or with some unproven kid?? I'll take the kid over the veteren in a season like this.
  7. That's 10M we could put towards el horso, Soriano, and Zito. Jim is a moron.
  8. Who ISN'T in sports journalism? Ugh. By saying idiot, I mean a real moron. So do I. There are intelligent writers. Downey happens to be a complete and utter moron. He sounds like a White Sox homer. What writers are you thinking of? Phil Rogers. Paul Sullivan. Mike Kiley. Rozner. etc. All morons. I can only think of two that I respect... Bruce Miles and Rob Neyer. There ya go. You just named 2. Couch and Telander are 2 others that I can respect
  9. Who ISN'T in sports journalism? Ugh. By saying idiot, I mean a real moron. So do I. There are intelligent writers. Downey happens to be a complete and utter moron. He sounds like a White Sox homer.
  10. I see nothing wrong w/ the nickname "Big Papi" His nickname is Papi, and he's big, so Big Papi is perfectly fine. Same w/ Zambrano. His nickname is Z, and he's big. Big Z makes sense
  11. Papi has to be the MVP this year. IDC if he doesn't play defense. IMO, he is the most irreplaceable player there is.
  12. Who ISN'T in sports journalism? Ugh. By saying idiot, I mean a real moron.
  13. Mike Downey is an idiot.
  14. That too, probably. Maybe it was a bit of both. Or maybe it was to give a few more hours to put deals together.
  15. The Cubs plan is to make deals for the sake of making deals. Did it last year w/ Dubouis, doing it this year w/ Walker. Also, be prepared to lose Big Z for a long time on April 19, 2007.
  16. He should've asked if he could break Furcal's wrist as well. And isn't it tampering to say Ramirez will be back b/c he is technically not under contract for 2007 just yet, b/c he can still use that escape clause
  17. None of them will if the Dust Bag is calling the shots next year.
  18. Not really anything one can do about it. A few years ago Sidney Ponson was traded from the Orioles to the Giants because he would be an FA at the end of the season. Everone knew he'd re-sign with the Orioles the next winter - and he did. That may be, but Fat Boy Ponson did not have a deal lined up. He simply decided he'd come back over the winter. Having your mind set on it is one thing, having a pre-arranged deal is another
  19. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Plus we did it w/o Lee, Wood, or Prior.
  20. Roast, I think the remark was directed at a guy being called out at home when he tried to score on a wild pitch. EDIT: I was right: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/chc/news/chc_news_story.jsp?article_id=chc_20010807_gamer_news&team_id=chc
  21. They can't have a secret agreement in place that Ramirez gets traded, uses the escape clause and comes back to the Cubs, that would be tampering. He can have his mind set on doing so, but he can't have some agreement lined up w/ Hendry. And IMO, Ramirez should uses the escape clause, b/c Adrain Beltre has a 5-year 64M deal, and Ramirez has better #'s than Beltre.
  22. Even when we win, we lose
  23. Bump. I remember the guy singing the 7th-inning stretch got ejected for saying "I'll have some speaks w/ the umpire about that call [Cubs guy out at home trying to score on a wild pitch] after the game"
  24. Who said that qoute in your sig?
  25. Howry, Erye, Ohman, Dempster should be in the 2007 plans. Ramirez we're going to keep. Walker should be traded, we can get something in return. Jones, if he plays like this at this time next year, he could be very attractive.
