  1. The Cubs absolutely must get rid of Soriano at any cost; even if it means eating 15 million a year.
  2. Really glad he walked old man Edmonds to get to Braun.
  3. What song is everybody crying about? I am listening to the radio feed. It's a Beach Boys style song featuring the usual 102 years BS that most of us are completely disgusted by.
  4. I see now that I was a fool to hope I could finish watching this game before I have to go to class at 4. Screw you Doug Davis.
  5. The good news is that we wont have to deal with that gut wrenching fake rally in the 9th. The bad news is we're only 1/162 of the way and I'm already slightly annoyed.
  6. What happened to Shark's stuff? I remember watching his MLB debut and his fastball had so much movement. Now he can't locate it and when he does locate it the ball is dead straight.
  7. I've officially gotten sick of waiting for Shark to find his secondary stuff. Guy can't even throw a fastball ball right anymore.
  8. I feel like I've seen this before. Now I'm just waiting on the laser beam straight fastball that exits the park.
  9. Can you imagine the threads that would have been started if Colvin had hit a double or a HR? I think that out was best for our mental health.
  10. A fake 9th inning rally would really complete was has been a stellar opening day.
  11. Is there any way Maestri gets through the rule five unclaimed?
  12. You want to give up 3 of our top 10 prospects, a young cheap MLB proven starter and a good bullpen arm for ONE year of Halladay? Unless the Cubs feel like they are a WS contender there is no reason to empty the farm for one year of a player. Even then, I'd prefer they spend all those prospects on a top notch impact bat.
  13. Anyone who gives Chone 4/48 deserves to be fired before the ink is dry. That would be absolutely awful.
  14. I can top that with a little nugget I found over on a Tiger's board. Talking about Edwin Jackson: "Regarding Jackson, although he's no Roy Halladay, you have to remember the team that would get him would control him for at least the next two seasons. Although Jackson is not left-handed, the Tigers should at least expect to get what the Orioles got for Erik Bedard (which included Adam Jones, George Sherill and Chris Tillman). Their histories (great, inconsistent stuff) and contract situations are similar, although Jackson doesn't have the injury history of Bedard" Talking about Josh Vitters "This guy is the Cubs version of Gordon Beckham. I'm liking doing a deal with Cubs more and more. Especially if you consider that Hendry is going to offer up 5 of the Cubs top 10 prospects."
  15. It's great to see Vitters flash a little power; I was starting to grow concerned that we had D.Lee situation on our hands.
  16. Wow, if there is any truth to this than someone in the front office needs to be canned. The only thing keeping Doumit from being an upper tier offensive catcher is his injury history.
  17. No one is asking for both Vitters and Castro for one year of Crawford. I'm not even willing to part with one of them unless the Cubs get to extend Crawford.
  18. That's really horrible for the Giants farm. First that ridiculous trade and now this.
  19. And this is why Phil Rodgers remains one of the worst actively employed writers around. So tired of his hyperbole and irrational thought processes. I've pretty much learned to ignore all things involving him.
  20. That might be enough for one of them Might? Really? A closer, a starting SS/2B, a guy who has excelled as a loogy(and can spot start) and a guy who has potential as a DH. Not to mention they're all very cheap and most under team control for a bit. They would instantly have 3 or 4 guys they would put on the field right now.
