    Again, sorry I doubted you Derrek.

    If they traded Bradley and brought in Holliday and DeRosa, cubs.com would crash for a week.

    No, what in the world are you talking about?!

    I think we're screwed.

    Hoffpauir would absolutely not be a decent DH and he wouldn't fetch anything at all.

    How would you explain Billy Beane's overall success then? He exploited under-appreciated means of evaluating players. Now that they're not really under-appreciated anymore, he's been exposed as a fairly mediocre general manager.

    I really hope Thome gets a ring. One of my favorite non-Cubs.

    So what stat would you like then? There's a lot of them and they all show Soto has been better.

    No, smoking weed does not make him a bad guy. Being an overall prick does. I've talked to a handful of Cubs over the years and I'll say that besides Derrek Lee, Geo was easily the nicest one to fans. I've also heard a Cubs employees speak highly of Geo (and not of other Cubs). But yeah, he's a prick.

    As in Soto is hurt? Or as in, Lou is making Hill the starter? The latter sure would be stupid. And I hope Soto keeps smoking weed because weed is awesome.

    It's not like Harden's under contract for next year...or has pitched more than 150 innings since 2004. I'm of the opinion that letting Harden go would be a mistake. He's a legit ace.

    I personally don't get the hostility when people like Phil Rogers suggest we trade him. I hate Rogers, but at this point I think if we could get decent value for Z we'd be foolish not to pull the trigger. I think he suggested cutting him. I thought that was Bradley?

    This has been talked about in a few different threads since Fox has come up, but to my knowledge the discussion hasn't been centralized. What should the do and what do you think they will do? Personally, I'd like to see Fox kept on as a corner-super-sub and oft used backup catcher. He could probably find himself in a huge chunk of games this way. As it is, I imagine the Cubs will try to trade Bradley and play Fox in right.

    Oh Aramis, you are awesome.

    I flat out feel bad for doubting Derrek Lee.
  17. inari
    But how many RBIs?
  18. inari
    At this point I'm pretty much convinced you're doing this to annoy people.
  19. inari
    lol wat

    It's out of hand.

    Marshall is on my fantasy team. Cool.

    We're 9 games back. I'm pretty sure Ron Santo has given up. Are there ANY examples in history where a team has overcome this kind of deficit this late to make the playoffs?

    I'd be up for trading Z and it has nothing to do with his attitude. He plays 100% and loves winning more than anyone else on the team; what's not to like? Its the production that's the problem. Z hasn't been worth his contract since he got it. His bat really adds a lot to his value, a lot more than I think people realize. However, his pitching has been on a continuous downtrend. This year has proved no exception, as injuries and poor performance have hampered him at times, as well as a still dwindling strikeout total. I'm not so sure that the Mets wouldn't be a good place to start shopping him. Omar Minaya's infatuation with big names and Latinos is well known. Z's got both of those going for him. I might be crazy, but I think he'd eat Z's entire contract and give us solid pieces.

    Based on what did you expect that? Anyway, add about .050 to Bradley's slugging and he's done exactly what I expected him to do. As a hitter, I'm not that disappointed in him. I am disappointed in his attitude to the point where I don't particularly want him on the team anymore. I know a lot of it is media bating, but it's pretty clear this is going to go on for the remainder of his contract if he stays. I have no real interest in seeing him be a negative presence in the clubhouse for a few more years. I'm also very aware that if the Cubs were winning at the rate they were last year, there wouldn't be a problem with Milton Bradley. He's become the scapegoat for a season of disappointments much greater than him. The media has gotten every story they could've hoped for in it. We're all criticizing the media for bating him, and that's justified. However, Milton Bradley has a brain, and he falls right into their trap just about every single time. This is allowing the media to create a true hatred for Milton Bradley among many stupid Cubs fans. If Hendry can get a decent return, he should. Trading him for sixty cents on the dollar, though? Deal with the distraction. On a related note, does anyone know the context of that "I don't want the game to go more than nine innings" quote?

    Better yet, don't get the bunt down. Don't even try it.
