I have no baseball sigs, but my brother and I do have a card with Sweetness's sig on it. He signed it "WP". we got it in Platteville Wi, during training camp and Payton was done for the day, headed out witha flu or something when he was walking off the field and simply walked up to a group of us kids (about 6 of us) who were watching him practice. He signed something for each one of us, shook our hands, and went to the locker room, ignoring the mob of reporters...he was a class act... my mom met Ernie Banks, but didnt bother getting his signature.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............

Cards Rotation 07 - Which direction to go?
minnesotacubsfan replied to indifferent's topic in General Baseball Talk
Because Alan Benes and Matt Morris were just too dominant for us to resign. They both play for the Yankees now. We just need some arms to fill in around Rick and Bud. As long as you still have Darryl Kile as your #3 you should be alright DUUUUUUDE........TOO SOON -
I thought it was goony, and he said something to the effect "Sox fans are like the white trash guys in your high school who sat in the back of the class and made complete a$$es of themselves, except now they have won the lottery"

Covering the plate: Pujols vs Patterson
minnesotacubsfan replied to JGalt73's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
thats what struck me, a big ole purple spot RIGHT in the middle of the strike zone...not good.... -
regaurdless of the record amount, thats still cheap for a pitcher like Willis

"Well, actually, we weren't the best hitting team in the NL last year, but thats ok because we really love guys who can run and catch the ball. Obviously, this team is built around defense."
-
in my opinion, the outfield's in trouble even if murton, pierre, and jones stay healthy all year. it has the potential to be one of the worst outfields in baseball. if they got someone like floyd, you'd have to make murton the 4th OF. you could start him against all lefties, either for floyd or jones. why? they all "catch the ball" :wall:

Some sort of spousal abuse charge. A couple days later his wife admitted she either made it up or really exaggerated it, can't remember which. A bit unfortunate for Julio though, I think the Astros released him because of it. IC..maybe I got the info wrong...

didnt Lugo get into some trouble? a couple of DWI's? why would Hendy ditch Farnsworth/Walker because they have character issues and go pick up Lugo if he has proven to carry baggage as well? WTF is going on in the Trib tower?

Patterson + $$$ for Reed :cheers:

Are you the guy who has that problem with his keyboard at work? I kind of doubt that Hendry would try to gauge the reaction that way. My guess is that either a) someone just made something up, or b) some person lower down that Hendry talks to told someone else. (much quieter) yes I am, I appologize I am just wishfully thinking Hendry is testing the waters so to speak..this trade idea makes me physically sick

COLD HENDRY HAVE FLOATED THIS LEAKE TO SEE WHAT FANS REACTIONS MIGHT BE?
-
I think it's unreasonable to think they'll get much more than the 19 wins they had against those two teams last year. They've done no better than tread water against much of the rest of the league. I think 82-85 is a realistic, and 90 would be close to best case scenario, as it stands now. And I think they were a 86 win team last year and they have improved upon that team. how many of these 7 wins that we actually loss can be attributed to the closer-by-comittee in the early season? and the macias factor?

Abreu to Houston Rumor
minnesotacubsfan replied to Blueheart05's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
WHAT?!? Williams is at least as valuable as Lidge? Please, let's hear this argument... Williams(or other SP) is going to pitch 3 times as many innings as Lidge will in a given season. Therefore, even though his performance isn't as dominant as Lidge's, he's worth more to the team because the quantity outweighs the marginal difference in quality. you wrong......quantity doesnt outweigh quality, quantity IS A quality that being said......fire Hendry -
Aw, rats - the link doesn't work - infamous 404 error here. :-( bummer....it was actually interesting. they were taking the stadium down like a pie, slice by slice, not the usual total implossion.. ok, enough archi-babble....DOWN WITH THE CARDINALS!!!!
