    Lee for Jose Mesa, it's still not too late.

    Are we supposed to ignore his '05 numbers?

    I've never been much of a supporter of online petitions. Maybe a better idea is to find out how to get in touch with whoever organizes the guests. Any help? PM Len Kasper, I'm sure he knows, or at least has a better idea than us.

    I still haven't given up hope that we could get Castillo from the Marlins fire-sale. That would be an amazing IF. Castillo = =P~ His injury concerns worry me. His OBP and D are sexy though. Oh baby: http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/castilu01.shtml I'd say the exact same thing applies to Milton Bradley too.

    The Red Sox had a bunch of flashy players. Therefore, that should be the Cubs #1 priority this offseason.

    This is our only hope - Giles really doesn't want to go to New York. Still, money talks in the end. Always. It's possible Giles wants a ring, and thinks playing in New York is the most probable way of getting it.

    I'm sorry. I'll run it by you next time I want to post in my own thread, Mom. Maybe you should if your post isn't funny or insightful. What's the point of this? Please just continue the discussion and let the sarcasm die. I'm not starting it. People have it out for me because I like Jacque Jones. :P Nah, it was the Howry and Eyre signings that did it for me. ;) my bad fear and raw

    So does Jim Edmonds. I'm sure you have a better idea then any of us Vance. :P Isn't Jim Edmonds the one that was photographed grabbing another player by the cup at home plate? That pic was created with photoshop. LIAR

    Holy Jesus the glove and ball are formed out of an M and B!!!! (Seriously, I didnt see it until people mentioned it in this thread) Same here. It makes me love the logo a lot more.

    Jacque Jones OPS in day games from 2002-2004: .682 His OPS in day games in 2005: .637

    What if Hendry traded for Abreu or Dunn? Still be pissed? Probably not. But signing a free agent is a lot easier than trading for a big bat.

    If Giles signs for 3/33 or less with another ballcub, I'm going to be very furious.

    "Almost" is the key word. Trading Juan Cruz for slugs like Pratt and Lewis was pretty dismal and qualifies for "fleeced" status in my books. Especially when you consider that the Braves were able to use Cruz as part of a package to land Tim Hudson. I think it's a fair distinction that when Hendry is trading "to get someone", he does a pretty good job(Nomar, Ramirez, Barrett, Lee). When he is trading "to get rid of someone", that's when he screws up(Cruz, Sosa, Farnsworth; Hawkins is the exception). What has Cruz and Sosa done since we traded them? Hairston did better last year than Sosa. Cruz hasn't done anything since we got rid of him, even the Braves didn't hold on to him that long. Hard to say we got fleeced. Farns, I dunno. We got shorted on that one, but not as badly as some make it out to be. If Moore tears it up again at a higher level next year, I wouldn't get to bent out of shape over that one. I think his point is that Hendry traded those guys when their value was at their absolute lowest. We might have gotten better for Sosa if the Cubs didn't run that smear campaign after the season ended. We might have gotten better for Cruz if we would have traded him before he sucked at the big league level.

    Jason Michaels has to be available.

    maybe burnitz will agree to a 1 million dollar deal to be the 4th outfielder. that would be awesome, as he's basically a perfect 4th outfielder. good fielder, can play all 3 positions competently, and is still dangerous with the bat.

    This isn't a response to this article in particular, but Bill Simmons as a whole. His baseball analysis has never impressed me.
