    Thou shall not start threads about the Cubs on a Cubs mssg board.
  2. Men in Blue
    This ties for our second longest winning streak of the year!
  3. Men in Blue
    Good post.
  4. Men in Blue
    Hmmm, but everyone else is available? The other thread is 10 pages, so I thought I would put this here. Very interesting.
  5. Men in Blue
    Clearly a major blow to our chances of losing 100 games.

    .
  7. Men in Blue
    We had no business winning that game against the Rockies yesterday. Back on track today.
  8. Men in Blue
    We have the talent to get to that 100 loss mark. We just have to stay hot.
  9. Men in Blue
    Geo Slowto?
  10. Men in Blue
    Man, he shoulda dove. Sure, could have resulted in an in the park HR, but at least there would have been trying! What the [expletive] is Cusack wearing? http://media.monstersandcritics.com/articles2/1479808/article_images/maj3.jpg

    Not in approach, but in looking absolutely lost at any breaking ball thrown to them. Geo looks overmatched at the plate, much like Soriano does on any breaking stuff.
  15. Men in Blue
    You're new here, right? You might want to brace for impact. Oh, I'm sure. But again, he really does not look right. Very Soriano-esque.
  16. Men in Blue
    Others have pointed out that this isn't true, but when you're calling him lousy, who are you comparing him to? For me, it's the eye test. He just looks terrilble at the plate. That said, there is not a lot out there. All I am saying is if Geo gets you a fantastic haul, you'd have to consider it.
  17. Men in Blue
    I laughed hard at this. That said, I have no problem moving anyone should the return be excellent. It's like someone saying I have a million dollars and another guy saying I will offer you two million for your million. Ok, no prob.
  18. Men in Blue
    Since when did Soto become an untouchable? He's been pretty damn lousy.
  19. Men in Blue
    This might happen.
  20. Men in Blue
    I pretty much agree with this. That said, it looks like they are obviously trying to blow this whole thing up. You never know.
  21. Men in Blue
    Levine also said that no one should be considered "untouchable", even Castro. He cited Hanley Ramirez when he was with Boston. He said the Red Sox knew Ramirez was going to be a star but they got JB and it turned out that he helped them win championships. If that is the case, what would arms like Marmol and Marshall get us? At this point, I would have to think they need to listen to any and all offers. Levine even mentioned the possibility of trading guys even if the Cubs had to eat a lot of the contract. I could only gather he was talking about Z and Soriano. I would also expect Fuk to get a decent amount of interest.
  22. Men in Blue
    He reported on espn 1000 just now that Hendry and his scouts will meet Monday and decide who to move and who to keep. It is basically a whatever we need to do to get better we will do meeting. Speculation about Geo and Pena's futures were mentioned.
  23. Men in Blue
    I have no confidence in anyone.

    "Littlefield's first draft was where he first started his "legacy" when he drafted Bryan Bullington, first overall, while passing on BJ Upton. Although, the truth is Littlefield and his scouting crew wanted Upton but were overruled by ownership due to financial restrictions. Littlefield/Creech combo drafted pretty well the last four years selected first round picks, Neil Walker (04), Andrew McCutchen (05), Brad Lincoln (06), Moskos (07). Their drafts were never really deep though and usually centered around pitching, a huge trend they share with the Cubs' organization. Littlefield's strength is identifying and evaluating college pitchers and that's what Wilken will likely have him do.
  25. Men in Blue
    I have a feeling Ricketts will go with the man below. He is a scout and had to work with his hands tied in Pittsburgh. And no, I am not suggesting I want Littlefield as the GM. http://www.post-gazette.com/images4/20070718pdpirates0717a_450.jpg
