    I saw him running around against Detroit the first time, as well as Dallas and Green Bay. I don't see how the Washington game supposedly changed what he did with his feet. It's getting pretty ridiculous to pretend that Washington loss had to happen in order to change the team.
  2. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, that's my thinking towards him. His career window is likely relatively short enough as it is, and with the Cubs seemingly going with the rebuilding route for the foreseeable future, it really seems like Soto's value to the team would come more from the nice prospects package he could net them in a trade sooner rather than later. That's the problem with this half assed approach they appear to be using. If they are going to tank 2011, at least do it in a way to significantly improve your chances for 2012-2013. There's no point in wasting things like Marmol/Soto/Casto's still affordable seasons while waiting for other contracts to leave. By the time they can afford others they will be offering big raises to new guys and still won't be able to go after the big time free agents. Don't pay somebody to take Fukudome. Deal Wells, Marmol, Byrd, Colvin and maybe even Soto. Take your lumps now instead of prolonging them for the next 3 years.

    I like STL wasting their money, since they have limited resources and a budget that can be affected by overspending and waste. The Yankees just seem to raise the price for everybody else and take a heck of a lot of supply off the market that the Cubs should be in on. The Cubs need an elite guy or two, since they can't seem to develop their own. But they have to settle for overpaying guys like Soriano instead of being in on the real superstars.

    I'd guess the Cubs didn't want to trade for and then sign the guy, and only got involved late when they realized a deal was going to happen with somebody. They also might just want their name out there on big guys while settling for the mediocre 3rd tier guys they were after from the start.

    At first I found it annoying, but then decided it's nice to have the option of watching a game just about every night for nearly a month. Yes, but I thought we couldn't play too many bowls after the 1st because it interferes with studying and what not. The teams themselves are only playing one game. It's the adding of 3-4 more games that is the problem.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Not really. He had one nice return.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    Right after the early 3rd quarter fumble. I want to say it involved chasing Stanton out of bounds, but not really sure.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    That's another thing that changed after the loss against Washington. Not sure if it was planned or not, but it's definitely working. How is that a change after the Washington loss? He's been doing it all year and really his entire career.

    Because if I wanted Lyle Overbay or Adam LaRoche, I'd just sign them. My way is cheaper. You think so? He's in the middle of arbitration years and has racked up some relatively larger RBI totals despite his generally poor hitting. I'd guess he's a lock to get a fairly large raise this season and then without any realistic 1B in the pipeline he will play a lot and be a near lock for another raise next season even without being good.

    Didn't really start drinking until after the game, but if my memory holds I think the players who stood out in a good way were Cutler, Bennett, Peppers, Idonije, Gould, Manumanamama and Forte. Moore was a little up and down. Maynard was probably decent. The linebackers were disappointing. Did Tommie Harris play? I rememeber seeing Harrison and Toeaina, but not doing anything special.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    I would dance around if they dealt Colvin in a package for a true impact bat, but not somebody who might be an average first baseman if things go well.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Reggie Golden getting some love. Where's he set to play next year?
  13. jersey cubs fan
    It seems to me like Keith and Seabrook have been a major part of the problem. If that is true, then the hope for improvement should be realistic.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Just want to point out that the Hawks did outshoot them 32-18 in that Vancouver loss, despite losing 3-0. Bobby Lu was pretty good in the game. Most times you win that game. That said, they didn't win so I agree it counts again them. Yes, I saw about 2 periods and noticed they were outshooting them. But they didn't seem to be particulary dangerous shots and the breakdowns continued. That's going to happen, but it's happening too often.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Is Loney even any better than a Colvin experiment at 1st? Now if they wanted to trade Either that would be a different story. I was just looking at his info and thinking I wouldn't want to go past offering Colvin for him. But really don't have much interest.

    Need twitter to english translation.

    Looked too quickly at that, thought it was more like 15th.

    Disappionting weekend for the Blackhawks. Another regulation loss in a game that wasn't close. They have 12 regulation losses already this year, tied for third most in west. And only 5 eastern teams have more. And now Kane is out for a while. The team is still above average in scoring, but below average in goals against. Special teams hasn't been a problem. They probably can't count on either goalie to carry them for any period of time, so the defense really has to start stepping it up. Otherwise this team may eventually struggle to make the playoffs. They can't keep letting games go by without picking up at least one point. It would be nice to go on a 8 or 9 of 10 type streak to put some distance between them and the bottom tier. But they won't do that if they keep losing in regulation with such regularity.

    Jay Cutler has thrown the 15th most INTs in the league, and 13th most TDs. He's got a couple really dangerous games remaining for picks though. Green Bay is near the top in sacks and INT. New England is near the top in INT.

    Somehow I've gotten myself roped into attending the freaking Pinstripe bowl with KState and Cuse alumni. First time in the new Yankee Stadium for me.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    honestly, how can anyone live in a world such as this? I think every player has to live in that world.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I don't disagree that you should pay premium price for premium players, but my point is Werth is not a premium player. I've said before it could work out well for 2-3 years, but that's $15 mil of dead weight looming on your roster for 4 seasons. Teams like the Yankees and Red Sox can afford a couple of those or more, a team like the Cubs can afford one, but a team with a payroll south of $100 mil cannot have dead weight on their roster. With Werth, the Nats might hover around playoff contention while he's good. But they won't be able to give him much help while he's good and they'll have an albatross on their roster once he gets bad - and still won't have room to work around him with premium players. It looks better if they get their payroll over $100 mil and that might be part of their thinking, but I can't assume that when looking at the deal right now. I would think you have to make that assumption, that they are going past $100m soon. But I would have made similar assumptions about the Rockies when they were handing out huge deals, yet they cut like $20-30m at one point I think.

    It's the top headline. Yahoo.com just tweeted it 2 minutes ago.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Because after the season somebody listed him as 19?
