  1. While I'm happy that Murton seems to be the de facto LF in 2006, I have great fears about his success. With the RF options dwindling a CF who isn't being paid to drive in runs, any shortcomings by Murton will be disasterous. There must be tremendous pressure on him, especially if the Cubs end up with Jones or Encarnacion in RF. It's not out of the realm of possibility that this entire OF has fewer than 125-150 RBI combined next year.
  2. Not to be a jerk, but has anyone from Cubs mgmt EVER mentioned Encarnacion by name? Or is this just typical Cub fan pessimism?
  3. He seems to produce wherever he goes. I don't care that he's old, but I don't think he'll do a 1-year deal.
  4. And play Mabry/Patterson in RF until May 1? I didn't say it was possible, i'm just saying I don't want wilson
  5. Just like Dempster was the opening day closer and Hollandsworth was backing up Dubois last year?
  6. If Pierre can score 100 runs in a huge pitcher's park and Conine, Lowell and LoDuca behind him, he should get there in 2006
  7. I'd rather resign Burnitz than trade for Wilson
  8. Murton = Benchy McPine Pierre = Corey Sr. OR Matt "Don't call me Giles" Murton and Juan "Don't call me Bradley" Pierre
  9. Dusty missed that memo
  10. He doesn't want to be traded, but he's really unhappy with the team's direction and he feels they aren't comitted to winning. Think it boils down to him saying "I'm not saying, just saying..."
  11. Why do you say that? Teams trade withing the division all the time. Sean Casey, the Captian of the Reds was just traded to Pittsburgh for a left handed pitcher. The Mets are most definately a player for Tejada. The sports talk radio here is polluted with the rumors. I've read numerous reports all saying that there is no way Angelos trades Tejada to Boston, period.
  12. The sky is falling, the sky is falling! :roll:
  13. Grossman in after halftime?
  14. and I'm sure F$U and O$U are ranked near the bottom
  15. I will still enjoy Mitre's hair-brained escapades every week on "That 70's Show"
  16. The big question, of course, is does Jim Hendry have the cajones?
  17. The Bears will punt on 1st down every series, playing for field position and keeping the players who score all the TD's on the field :wink:
  18. Last I checked, warm, summery conditions were never responsible for keeping my wife stuck at the airport for 24 hours when she only has the weekend off before flying back to work again :evil:
  19. no option for Festivus Cards?
  20. not me, though i'm a stay at home dad, so....
  21. If that did happen, expect Murton to be the 4th OF. with Dusty managing, i expect murton to be the 4th OF regardless
  22. The good news is that people can now shut up with all the "cubs should get renteria" nonsense
  23. Glad to see that the sporstwriters have shut out any players who might upset their season-long USC/Texas lovefest
  24. He was hurt but he came back for the second half of the season I believe. certainly worth looking into. Gammons was on ESPNews last might discussing the Soriano deal, and he expressed concern that Vidro and Soriano are going to make over $18 mil next year alone, and that the Nats would have trouble filling the roster.
  25. Sox already got Loretta for Mirabelli
