    Kim Bauer is the Archbishop of the Church of Murton? :lol:

    Some loudmouth jerk. Just imagine what that loudmouth jerk could do with the Cubs. :wink:

    It's interesting that the last couple of years Fontenot couldn't even get a 40-man roster spot and September callup, now he starts even when slumping. How quickly things can change.

    The Barrett incident certainly was part of the reason for the talk, but your "and nothing else" assertion is definitely wrong. His crappy start to the season definitely had something to do with it. There were people advocating trading Zambrano even before the incident. The talk increased after the incident, but it started before then.

    Nah, you can still make waiver trades after the deadline. :D

    Fox is the latest to take the Tennessee to Iowa via Chicago development route. That seems to be the standard anymore.
  7. NCCubFan
    And actually ahead in the loss column. \:D/

    I agree, with "quite yet" being the key words. He has the momentum which, if it continues, will very possibly have him there at the end of the year. I don't think it's a bit coincidental that his surge is happening at the same time the Cubs' is.

    Dempster I'm not sure about. Zambrano, unquestionably yes. :D

    I don't know if I'd go as far as saying most, but a lot did.LOL...funny how that changed so quickly. :lol: I'll admit I'm one of the ones who wouldn't have minded seeing him traded at the time. The Cubs didn't look to be in contention and it looked like he was in a freefall. Now his claim about winning the Cy Young Award this year doesn't look so crazy after all.

    Exactly what he needed in the third to help his pitch count if he wants to go deep in the game.

    It's 100% mandatory that they find a way to re-sign Zambrano, no excuses, new owner or not. However, it's not important that it be done before the deadline.

    WEEK 17

    Speaking of Jennings, he's now available on the waiver wire. :D

    WEEK 17

    NCCubFan replied to cbbryan's topic in Fantasy Sports

    I don't think you need to worry about that. Jason Jennings made sure of that.

    Pie, Jones, and Veal for a guy who hasn't won a game in months and has a +5 ERA? Horrible. It would be a typical Cubs move, though; trade a player before his peak and make up for it by reacquiring him after he starts to fall.
  17. NCCubFan
    He was sent down July 20, so he could be called back up as early as tomorrow based on the 10-day rule. I hadn't seen that article, so I may have misinterpreted cuubs4life's comments (I thought he was referring to a possible trade as opposed to a callup).
  18. NCCubFan
    And a package from the Cubs could actually help speed that up. I think they have to make the deal if the Cubs can take on the salary.
  19. NCCubFan
    I believe the thinking relates more to the distance of the throw, not the frequency. LF to 3B is a much shorter throw than RF to 3B; therefore it doesn't take as strong of an arm.
  20. NCCubFan
    Ryan was actually more of a reliever that year (he only started 10 games). Don Cardwell (who threw a no-hitter for the Cubs several years earlier) and Jim McAndrew were swingmen, both starting 21 games in addition to several relief appearances.
  21. NCCubFan
    Not necessarily. There are trade rumors, but there have been many false rumors as well as true rumors that fell through at the last minute (such as Jones to Florida).
  22. NCCubFan
    Why would they want Koyie? :lol:
  23. NCCubFan
    If true, the aftermath of today's game would be more important than the outcome of the game itself.

    You're clearly a legit poster around here, but I'd still like to confirm from others what was said... hope you understand :) Well PSD Forum and Cubs.com forum each have a thread about it too Fair enough. I'll consider a "legitimate rumor" -- not that that means a whole lot :lol: In other words, a definite maybe. :D
  25. NCCubFan
    Correct. Posting a link to the article is fine, as is posting a small exerpt from the article.
