    I completely agree with you. Pitching wins championships. So does hitting. Don't even start that garbage again. nevermind the team's offense is completely irrelevant when october hits

    the reds were first

    at the very least, the god awful sleeveless jerseys are being phased out. (i think the reds are slightly changing their uniforms this year too)

    i like the new bizarro hendry.

    They really should have put that DB snake-head as their hat logo. It's so amazing, they need to utilize it. And I just noticed something, are they officially the D-backs now? I know Diamondbacks is a long word, but is that what everyone is going to call them now?

    I like it, even though if you squint it looks exactly like the Nationals' uniforms. The DB forming into a snake head is very clever.

    It's too bad they are comming to the realization at such a late date and with a depleted talent pool. Imagine if Hendry would have had the epiphany when the Cubs had a lot of power. but we're kind of lucky that he also had this realization while the nl was very weak. now is the time to make a go for it.

    The odds of that happening are remote. Yeah, no kidding. The Lee issue has really moved to the backburner in discussions, but going into last season, he wasn't a real good bet to repeat 2005. Now, a year older, after a terrible injury for a hitter that ruined an entire season (even though people maintained it was largely harmless and he'd recover quickly), we might be looking at a guy who puts up a sub 900 OPS in 2007. Quality numbers, but not superstar numbers. His OPS+ was 177 in 2005, the next highest number in his career was 135, at age 27. If he's much below his 2005 numbers, the acquisitions will have to be that much better, just to improve upon the weak 2005/2006 offense. If Lee puts up his 2004 line of .278/.356/.504 next season I'd be somewhat suprised. His 2005 was so far out of line, and he's past the age where we can expect him to sustain that kind of production. But his improvement was due to some adjustments, not a fluke. While he won't post 2005 type numbers again, I can't see him regressing to his pre-2005 numbers, at least not in the next year or two. I think a .290/.375/.550 line is quite realistic. Wrist injuries can be tricky to come back from. Nomar never recovered from his. But Ortiz recovered from his beautifully. still holding out hope

    Sammy put up godly numbers and was loved until the numbers stopped coming. Latroy? He deserved what he got. Ramirez hasn't really been a target of the boo birds more so than any other player the last few seasons. Let's see if his leg injuries continue to be a problem along with his hussle before he gets booed. I think a lot of peolpe on this board are over reactive to way the media portrays players. you just wait. aramis is gonna sign for 13m a year or something and become the new scapegoat of the cubs. the media already hates his lack of hustle, they're gonna hate it more when he's the face of the franchise.

    you can thank chad's mouth for that. the more he talks, the more he's double covered, and the more one-on-one coverage there is for housh. and it seems palmer isn't nearly as good as he was last year. that doesn't help matters either. you're in my thoughts and prayers ocho cinco.
  13. rocket
    oh god, when aramis does resign his every miniscule fault is going to be magnified even moreso than it already is due to the huge amount of money he'll make. the fans are gonna treat him like they did sammy and latroy.

    IN BEFORE MOVE TO SOCIAL/RANTS

    maybe the special assistant will also have first base coaching duties?
  16. rocket
    Rutgers will win
  17. rocket
    I hope he returns and does awesome
  18. rocket
    The article says he's only willing to waive his NTC to go to Boston, New York, and now apparently San Fran. Maybe he'll be willing to come to Chicago. If he is, and the Phillies are looking for bullpen help, maybe Eyre and Jones for Burrell trumps San Fran's offer?
  19. rocket
    oh come on, we can top that
  20. rocket
    I mentioned him for my bench. But, I dont think he would take a bench role. He may not have a choice.
  21. rocket
    i bet we can get randa if the price is right
  22. rocket
    I'd say definitely yes...though I wonder if sportswriters are suspicious of him and steroid use.

    FJM just did a number on this. Woohoo! I emailed them about this article this morning... :) is your name craig by any chance?
  24. rocket
