  1. If Price does not go #1 to tampa (for signing resons), And your the Royals who have been said not being able to aford Porcello, and the Cubs are on the clock what do you do??? They have already said they do not want to exceed slot money, and with the Whold Trib. situation I think their hands are tied. D-Rays pick Vitters first Royals pick Parker Cubs pick well......... Not vitters, Parker, Wieters (cant "afford" him), Not Price (if not wieters),......... hummm.............. If that was the case (which I see is extremely unlikely) my guess is that the Cubs would try to strike a deal with the Tribune in order to make an exception, possibly in return a promise to cut salary elsewhere.
  2. Culpepper's career certainly spiraled quickly. Nobody wants him, he doesn't want to be traded, and this is not going to be a good situation.
  3. Oops-that's probably not the only thing I missed. I'm going to have to pick March-there's simply too much good basketball between the conference tournaments and March Madness. October, February, and January are probably my next 3.
  4. Here is your chance-tell which month it is and why you are drawn to it.
  5. That's about how I feel. I don't really care who the Cubs choose between Wieters or Vitters or Parker (although I would prefer one of the hitters) but drafting Doolittle there would be something I would not like at all.
  6. Even a player who doesn't hustle much at all will reach out for the bag with his leg like that on a close play at first (responding to one of the posters who was serious). Hustling normally and getting hurt on this play have almost nothing to do with one another.
  7. He hit 96, I believe. I saw 97 on at least one pitch, but I never noticed him getting up to 98. Were you at the game or watching the Brewers cast? WGN doesn't show the velocity. WGN\WAS showing velocity.. They showed the velocity sometimes. It seemed like it was completely random on whether or not they would show it. Yeah, I saw it in like the 6th inning on WGN. As mentioned, WGN's radar was broken at the beginning of the game, but they had it fixed by then.
  8. This one I like. :) He picks another matchup over his own-is he that confident or that indifferent I wonder? :D
  9. I just looked at the prospects of that, and one thing caught my eye. If you went straight by number of posts and 1 matches up with 64 and so on, you have a 1st round matchup of Sulley vs. OMC. I think this would be an absolutely hilarious venture. I'm trying to figure out who I'd be matched up with. In a 64 person tournament, you'd be matched up against EJ in the first round. Boooooooooooooooooo. Loss for you. :wink: I thought you didn't want to be involved? :wink:
  10. Rivalries should be a forum that only includes threads involving OMC and Sulleymon Now that's a suggestion I could get behind-it's always funny to see the duplicate threads in baseball discussions/rivalries or transactions/rivalries because nobody knows where to post them. Instead, instant entertainment value!
  11. he's still on the list (quick and dirty, as I said). Goony maybe shouldn't count either, right? ;) Maybe not-and jersey doesn't have enough posts to qualify. It wouldn't be a true tournament without him though, would it? :D
  12. I have to post quickly if I want to get in this thing-a little over 100 posts short :D

BRING IT ON!! http://www.zombietime.com/world_cant_wait_sf_11-2-2005/IMG_3353.JPG vs.http://www.fanlistings.org/captain_america/images/extras.jpg By the way, from your list, who is this CubColtPoser fellow? :D I just looked it over, and it might would make sense to go to 128-it would only add 1 more round, and there are a lot of intriguing names between 64 and 128. Plus, eliminate the people who haven't posted in over a year, and put wildcards in their place of people who are active now but somehow haven't hit the post requirement.

  16. He hit 96, I believe. I saw 97 on at least one pitch, but I never noticed him getting up to 98.
  17. He's not going to get more playing time with ABs like that. I have to think Floyd will pass Murton in at-bats again soon (Murton has more plate appearances on the season). Floyd is over 100 points in OPS now better than Murton. I could see an actual right/left platoon happening if this continues.
  18. Nobody is quite sure-he is feeling tenderness in his arm and doesn't really want to pitch right now, so they have put him on the DL. The move has been made now btw-Guzman to DL, retroactive to June 2nd, Gallagher up, and Novoa placed on the 60 day DL with a right humeral head fracture. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20070606&content_id=2008847&vkey=pr_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc
  19. it coming anytime soon southpaw? Would love to see an update :D
  20. No manager is going to pinch hit for his starting SS in the 4th inning, regardless of the situation. Earl Weaver pinch hit for Mark Belanger in the first once, IIRC. At any rate, how about the 6th inning down by three with a runner on second? Mind you, DeRosa is on the bench, and Theriot can move over to SS. For that matter, why is Izzy even in the freaking lineup? Lou likes to give people (especially his middle infielders) days off. DeRosa had started 12 games in a row prior to that-if they had pinch-hit him in the 4th inning, that would have defeated the purpose of trying to give him a day off.
  21. The way Pie swung his bat around at the last moment, I think he was trying to bunt for a hit. he squared pretty early Yeah, I just looked at it again. It wasn't way early, but it was early enough.

  23. The only way this *might* include Jones in a trade would be if a pitcher on the current roster is also included. Otherwise, just replacing Jones' spot on the roster means the Cubs would have 13 pitchers and only 12 position players.....I don't think so! Arent we at 11 pitchers right now? Eyre Howry Demp Guz Marmol Ohman and 5 starters You forgot Wuertz.
  24. Taking a quick look at the options: I doubt it's Hill or Lilly Z could be DL'd or traded Marquis could be DL'd-haven't heard anything on him, but he wasn't particularly sharp last night, so who knows Marshall could be sent down-but this seems unlikely with the way he's pitched. Bullpen (the more likely option for Gallagher) Dempster, Wuertz, and Howry are safe Ohman-possibly sent down Guzman-not likely to be sent down Eyre-possible release Marmol-if somebody is sent to the minors, Marmol is the most likely candidate. If I had to rank them in terms of likelihood: 1. Eyre release 2. Z DL'd 3. Marquis DL'd 4. Marmol sent down 5. some sort of trade
  25. I'm not sure why. He practically was begging the Cubs for a job in Februrary, and he wasn't signed by them then-if they weren't going to sign him then, it would be very unlikely for them to do it now with Pie supposed to stay up with the major league club for good.
