Will it really help us if we give up our starting CF and someone who could start for us this year?

I'm glad you're not the GM.

Seriously, why do you keep saying Soriano's health is in question? Where do you find these things?

I'm sorry.. your "sources" called the Choi Lee trade. I mean everyone and their grandma knew the Cubs were interested in upgrading the slop from 03 at 1B. I mean everyone and their grandma knew the Marlins were cleaning house. I mean even Peter Gammons said it was a possibility days before it went down, but you and your "sources" came up with it. My ass. My god don't play semantic games with me. There "may be some discussion." This is similar to me saying that the Cubs are discussing the potential profit increase by raising ticket prices. Yeah, it may or may not be going on. There may be discussion is even an understatement of what miles said. He said lukewarm, at best. To be lukewarm is to be indifferent. To have solid interest is not to be indifferent. so yeah... miles pretty much said you were wrong. not to mention every other "rumor" you have ever come up with is either A: written on the wall, B: already known, or C: too dumb to be true. So you're 1 for 1000. Outstanding. Keep em coming. And please dont ever analyze a thing about baseball, mmkay pumpkin? besides i trust my sources more than i do yours. then again i dont leak my inside information Are you kidding me? Who cares that one writer's opinion is that the interest was lukewarm. Hoops was still the first person to report that the Cubs had any interest in Crisp. I know part of your gimmick is to rile everyone up, but you are going over the line here. Not that Hoops was correct in personally calling you up and attacking you a few days ago, but you took it too far in your response. Now you're just lying. There were published reports that the Cubs were interested in Crisp during the GM meetings. Since the Cubs did nothing to solve their perceived center field problem, any person with at least crap for a brain would realize that the interest would probably remain. As usual, HoopsCubs didn't break anything. This is information we already knew. At least I did...and I'm sure most people here did. disclaimer: Hoops is smart enough to know the interest would remain. Its amazing that certain people can get away with personally attacking well respected members of the board without getting banned. I'm not sure how he personally attacked Hoops.

I think you missed the second page. That's where the best quotes are.

Umm...why? If Roberts leads off with a walk, Theriot can bunt him over to second. Then you've got your big bats coming up to hit him in. That's how baseball works. Seriously? HR>>>>>>>>>>>>>walk, bunt guy over, maybe production guy will drive him in. The best production guys in the world only have about a 33% success rate. A HR is a guaranteed run. A walk, single, HBP, CI or any other form of reaching first based guarantees you nothing. And if you are seriously going to bunt Roberts to 2b, you have just rendered his speed useless. Might as well just bat DeRosa 1st and waste the out Theriot is going to make to move DeRosa to 2nd. And this is one of the exact reasons Theriot should bat 8th. Why on earth should the Cubs accept making an out with the #2 hitter by bunting a guy over to 2nd as an in game strategy. It's a horrible strategy, for the most part. Sorry, bad attempt at sarcasm.

It is pointless.

I think we should give them our two untouchable prospects. A Fuld and Ceda for Roberts deal sounds fair.

Yeah, he's gotta end up getting somewhere around $20M per year. There is NO WAY CC is going to get $20 mill, unless it's the Yanks. And IDK if the new Yanks are going to break the bank on a lefty who isn't even in Johan Santana's class. If Johan can't break the $20 mill barrier, then I doubt CC (who has YET to win a Cy Young) gets more then say $15-17 mill per. He won it last year.

Soriano - .284/.329/.570 Theriot - .255/.310/.341 Lee - .304/.387/.498 Ramirez - .310/.376/.579 Fukudome - .283/.391/.460 DeRosa - .284/.353/.423 Soto - .281/.344/.445 Pie - .276/.322/.401 Zambrano - 1.34/3.83 Hill - 1.10/3.32 Lilly - 1.24/3.91 Marquis - 1.50/5.05 Dempster - 1.46/4.82 Lieber - 1.43/4.61 Marmol - 1.05/2.23 Wood - 1.17/2.87 Howry - 1.22/3.21

I still have these pictures of Prior and Nomar on my wall. I just can't let them go.

Didn't Carter just get a big contract this offseason?

oh. my. god.

:thumbsup: You're looking pretty smart right now.

Angelos would be put on suicide alert if Roberts said he didn't love him.

I just finished reading this thread. This is one of the greatest threads ever! :good:

it is the end of the week :hello: hmmm...maybe the deal gets done today?

Yeah when IDKWTI hit Pruitt in the face as he went up to shoot. Definitely clean. Gimme a break. IDKWTI banking in a 3 to tie the game. Just effin perfect. I'm gonna enjoy watching IU get booted 1st weekend. Tonight Demetri > IDWTI Shame Trent Meacham sucked and Shaun Pruitt was even more horrendous than usual at the line. IU won't win in Champaign for another 5 years. What does IDKWTI stand for?

You are seriously asking this? I realize what Gordon did was awful and stupid, but if you want to make someone pay, beat him on the court. What he did was classless.

IU is lucky Big Ten refs suck cause if they called Gordon for traveling all the times he does, IU would have trouble taking a shot. Glad to see Bilas point that out tonight as Gordon has got away with it in every game Ive seen Yeah, the refs gave IU the game. :roll: The refs were absolutely horrible for both sides. Read my post again, tell me where I said the refs gave them the game? Brinoch commented on the refs and I replied. Okay, I misread it. Sorry. I just get so annoyed with these refs.

What was up with that guy on Illinois shoving Gordon before the game?

Is he saying we would sign Fogg or the Orioles?
