    Let's trade him for Izturis. note: sarcasm
  3. soapy
    But he was terrible in 2005 also: .276/.326/.354
  4. soapy
    Pretty much: Patterson: .283/.316/.424 ($2.8 million) Pierre: .279/.320/.369 ($5.75 million)

    I don't think anybody would want Rusch, but we can always pray that some GM values him as much as Hendry does. The one thing you could consider is that if Jim wanted to get rid of Glendon, he could force another team to take Rusch in part of a package for players they might actually want. The problem with that is that Jim would have to realize that Glendon is bad. That may be, but I'd think the additional year on his contract will make him even more difficult to trade (see: Perez, Neifi). That's one thing I think a lot of people are over looking when they advocate trading Neifi and/or Rusch. Even if someone thought they could use them to maybe make a playoff push, they still aren't going to want to pay either one of them $2.5 million next year. My guess is, as you said, the only way Rusch would be moved was if he was packaged with someone else. Unfortunately, Hendry is likely one of the only GMs around who actually thinks that Rusch has value.

    I have another question, why would a contender want Glendon Rusch? If anything, the injuries to Marshall and Marmol hurt because it doesn't allow Hendry to trade them (for an offensive upgrade). I'm not advocating they be traded either, but I would think they'd be more sought after then The Fat One.

    Firing Dusty alone is not going to make this team significantly better in the short team. However, I'd still like to see him get fired so they can bring in someone who will play the young guys to see what we have (beyond 2006), and save his pitchers (namely Zambrano, Prior, Marshall) some by limiting their innings/pitches the rest of the way.

    Never been much of a GnR fan. I went with Bruce and E Street, though I'm not that big on them either.
  9. soapy
    Go Kinks!

    Juan's been on base 35 times this year??? :D Not necessarily. Some of those times he got on base he stole two bases. :wink:
  11. soapy
    I've always thought both of these bands were a bit overrated. Having said that, I do still like Cream a fair amount. I went with them.
  12. soapy
    Definitely The Doors.

    At the very least, he should be splitting time with Nevin and/or Walker at first instead of playing almost every day. I wouldn't be opposed to sitting him for a week or two and letting Nevin/Walker try to showcase themselves for a trade and allowing Lee to further recover. To go even further, he should be shut down if there is even the slightest concern that playing could cause further and/or permanent damage.
  14. soapy
    So Walker will sit again because they're facing a lefty. Hooray Neifi! Luckily, Blanco will also likely get the start. :pukel:

    Cedeno's offensive number where never outstanding in the minors either, save for maybe one year. I don't expect a great deal from him offensively and I wouldn't be completely shocked if he just turns out to be a poor offensive performer at the MLB level. Having said that, I'd echo what most people have said above. a) Cedeno has played half a season, let him try to adjust; and b) The season is lost anyway, you can afford to be patient with him. The same should/could be applied to Murton, IMO.
  16. soapy
    I've always thought that the Eagles were/are extremely over rated. I like a couple of their songs, but overall I don't really like them at all. Police.
  17. soapy
    obviously Jimi

    Cubs management has made some of the all-time horrendous decisions, but a four-man rotation right now may top that list.
  19. soapy
    I need to see something from Prior. How do we know if we shut him down he won't be too weak for ST next year and we start this whole thing all over again? No, I'm against shutting Marky Mark down. He needs to come back and prove he can pitch. I'm in full Prior watch mode----no longer 100% convinced he will ever be back to what he was in '03. If he basically misses the ENTIRE SEASON this year because he got the flu 6 months ago???--then maybe I start shopping him a little in the offseason. It's going to be hard to "shop" him if he doesn't pitch all season (aside from four games).
  20. soapy
    Maybe the Cubs really are going to go with a four-man rotation. Supposedly Prior will be DL'd so he could be replacing him :shock: I would really hope that's not the case.
  21. soapy
    If relievers are going to be this overvalued, Hendry needs to get on the horn. Seriously. It would have been nice to move Williamson or Dempster to the Reds for some talent.
  22. soapy
    Tool all the way. RHCP are okay, but I think they are way overhyped.
  23. soapy
    I really dislike both of these bands. I dislike the White Stripes less, so I voted for them.
  24. soapy
    I've only seen Pearl Jam live once, (and never seen GD) but I thought it was outstanding. I think I'm in the minority as a big PJ fan. Green Day is fine, but they're nothing special to me.
  25. soapy
    Yeah, I was happy to see that as well. Bruce is doing a nice job of throwing in some "non-conventional" stats into his articles. The whole article really broke down a lot of the problems that most people have with Dusty overall, with examples.
