    Really? If the Cubs are well into terrible territory at the deadline, I was thinking Hendry would become a total lame duck. How can he prove he should remain with the club under new ownership other than making the playoffs? I would think any new owner would look at our payroll, and if it's not a playoff team Hendry is gone moments after the ink dries. Maybe I'm dead wrong. A lot of it depends on who the new owner is and when they come in. The later in the offseason they take control of the team (before free agency or after free agency makes a huge difference), and the less experienced they are in baseball (because they'll have less vision on who to hire immediately as a GM), the more likely it becomes that Hendry stays the GM through the end of his contract at the end of 08.

    Hopefully Cedeno told him to hold on to it. It takes a mighty long time to have one shipped to Chicago if he needs it later. Now that was funny-good work there. Patterson should be able to play 2B the next few days with an infielder being called up from Iowa with the injury to Ramirez.
  3. CubColtPacer
    So it's MLB that is telling the Cubs what they can do? That's an interesting development.

    Nice to hear about Samardzija. I wonder 2 things about his outing: 1) I wonder how much his velocity increased with the move to the pen and 2) I wonder if they're continuing to make him throw all his pitches with the same percentage or if they are allowing him to throw more fastballs in relief.

    I also need a text message... I'm on the road in Atlanta and probably won't have access to the internet all day. Who wants to be a pal? Just remember for whoever agrees to send Truffle this text message that you are very likely to get a very angry text message back decrying the high school player that was taken :D

    Yes, because Hendry has such a poor track record with trading players There's a difference between trading for a player(Lee, Ramirez, Barrett, Pierre(whoops!), Nomar) and trading away a player(Sosa, Patterson, Maddux). Hendry is awful at the latter, and that's what he'd be doing with Z. Sosa, Patterson, Maddux are terrible examples. None had anywhere near the value that Zambrano has. Both the pro- and anti-Hendry camps should realize that there is no comp for Zambrano on Hendry's trade resume. So using history to speculate about how well he'd do is pretty futile and silly. I agree, but I doubt Hendry trades Z anyway. He's not likely to give up on the season unless the Cubs are 12 games out or more around the deadline, and I don't think they'll be that far out.
  7. CubColtPacer
    I agree. "goony" should take ZZ Thorn's place Goony is already in-his old account is still 4th in posts.

    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. I wonder if they could do better than a 7th rounder if they do trade him? Can't think of anybody desperate for a QB right now off the top of my head. If Miami wants to get rid of him, I think they'll have to cut him.

    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.

  11. CubColtPacer
    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.
  12. CubColtPacer
    Here is your chance-tell which month it is and why you are drawn to it.
  13. CubColtPacer
    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.
  14. CubColtPacer
    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.
  15. CubColtPacer
    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.
  16. CubColtPacer
    This one I like. :) He picks another matchup over his own-is he that confident or that indifferent I wonder? :D
  17. CubColtPacer
    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:
  18. CubColtPacer
    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!
  19. CubColtPacer
    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
  20. CubColtPacer
    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.

  25. CubColtPacer
    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.
