The Cubs saved $2.5m in the DeRosa to Miles shift, that did not make or break the Bradley acquisition.
-
That's not even close to true. It's absolutely the truth and it still cracks me up that people deny this fact.
-
Yeah, I think this move is dumb, but we shouldn't pretend that Soto is faultless this year. Liking a player doesn't mean you can't be disappointed when they show up for the season completely out of shape and not ready to play. I don't think anyone who posts here knows for sure that Soto showed up to camp out of shape and not ready to play. So can you guys please stop the nonsense. There's nothing nonsensical about noting that Soto was a fatass when he reported this year.

Do what? Something stupid? Not like the Dodgers gave up anything of value, but there'd be no point to this. Nevermind that Thome supposedly only wanted to go to a team that had a sure chance of playoffs. I read that as having the stones to drop worthless vets down the stretch. -
That is some really terrible logic. The DeRosa trade went from an okay one to a pretty good one given the performance of all 3 guys this season. Expanding upon this, the DeRosa trade in and of itself was actually pretty good in terms of the return we got. Archer, Gaub, and Stevens have all performed nicely. The decision to sign Miles was the mistake, however, Miles's suckitude should have no bearing on the evaluation of the DeRosa trade, because they are separate moves. They were seperate moves that were made in conjunction with each other. There's absolutely nothing wrong with evaluating them together. The only reason they trade DeRosa was to get more left handed, the only way they got more left handed was by replacing DeRosa with Miles. Every trade involving major leaguers for prospects has to weigh the cost/benefit of the present/future. This was an absolutely horrible short-term trade. Without question. It was a disaster. Longterm who knows. But people are getting worked up about bullpen prospects, those guys are a dime a dozen.

2009 Chicago Bears Preseason Thread - A new era begins

This was the highlight to their season. It's all downhill from here. -
Which Team Says No

Teams will hesitate to take on his money because they probably think they can convince Hendry to pick up much of the tab. When Hendry gets it in his mind to get somebody, or move somebody, he'll do so at just about any cost. It would be absolutely inexcusable to pay Bradley to play elsewhere, but that's also why I think the Cubs will end up doing it. -

There was something that came out at the time about Bowlen's memory. -
Did you notice the completely wasted Jim McMahon?
-
I saw the Mexican team in Newark this morning.

went to take a piss, what did I miss this time?

You mean the GB game? No, I mean the Pitt game. GB is the first game of the season. Pitt plays Thursday, Bears play Sunday. They get 3 more days of rest before coming to Chicago. It would be more meaningful in the middle of the season, but I think it's a disadvantage to the Bears nonetheless. -
Fuld almost muscled that out to the bullpen home plate.
-
No problem, happens all the time. You want the next door on the left.

The problem with the Pitt game is they come off 10 days rest. -
Hernandez: I don't like this, I do not like this. I don't like the game being interfered with. I don't get how 5 minute tirades by managers are part of the game but reviewing a play to see if it's correct is horrible. Either way, that wasn't close and there should be a person in the league office who says "no need to review it was foul."

Read back to some older Game Threads and you'll see we used to be ra-ra and optimistic. At this point, like someone above said, a lot of us feel this is a realistic approach to take with this team based on what they've shown us since April. OK, I see your point. They suck. They're always going to suck. I'll get with the program. You don't have to get with any program, feel free to feel however you do about the Cubs. But you might want to consider stop acting like such a jerk. The Cubs are mediocre. They've been mediocre all year and probably have to make significant changes to not be mediocre next year. I'll reserve judgement about future teams when they get here.

Wow. God bless the pom-pom wavers. Most of you posters sound like Cardinals fans. I make no apology for still believing they could pull this out. Why even follow the team if you're going to be this negative? why do crack heads still smoke crack despite the fact that its slowly killing them? I'm a crack head because I still want and expect the Cubs to win? I apologize. I thought this was a Web site for Cubs fans. I believe he's saying us horrible negative nancy Cardinals fans are crackheads in response to your question. Try and keep up.

Mets crew is spending a lot of time talking about media pressures and the differences between Chicago and New York. Basically they are saying Bradley wouldn't stand a chance in NY.
-
I hear those things are awfully loud.
-
Probably not, since Soriano would kill him. Zambrano might. please they wouldnt mess with Lilly. Hed make a lamp out of Sorianos skull And wear his ribcage as a vest. See my vest see my vest, made of real gorilla chest. http://www.seemyvest.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/simpsons-seemyvest.jpg

Probably not, since Soriano would kill him. Zambrano might. If Ted wasn't an axe murderer you might have a point. He's not going to have a fist fight with him.
-
No. The noise after Soriano's was a lot more of a murmuring like everybody was saying, "what the heck was that?" While Bradley's was just boos. First pitch out in four straight innings.
-
Does Teddy say anything to Soriano when they get back to the dugout? I have to imagine these guys feel sorry for Bradley and Soriano, to an extent, but they have to get sick of the emo-centric shenanigans that wind up on the field.
