    I really think Marquis is getting Izturis-ed by the end of the month. Gaudin keeps us at 6 starters, and that's not including Lieber, Hart, or Hill. I think Jim giving Marquis credit was his way of talking him up. Gallagher was also untouchable earlier this season IIRC. And I'll add on to the best of wishes to Sean, if you could pass them on Mr. Gallagher. This trade should work out best for Sean, Matt, and Eric, and it works out well for the Cubs. I love it.

    Have any extras best friend?

    WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    It's about the same. Although, I am really down on the Giants. I think the difference between the Giants/Nats and any other team in the league is bigger than the difference between the Cubs and any other team in the league. Which makes going 3-4 against them all the most frustrating to this point. Oh I agree that the Giants are a horrendous team. I just think the Cubs and Brewers are the class of the league, and have a hard time seeing either miss the playoffs.

    Derek Jeter is both a HOF and one of the most overrated star players of all time.

    You think the difference between the Reds/Pirates/Astros and the loser of Cubs/Brewers is closer than the difference between the Giants and the D-Backs?

    Bukie it seems you're not taking divisions into account. There's no way the Reds, Astros, or Pirates have a better chance at the playoffs than the Giants because those teams would have to beat out one of the Brewers or Cubs while the Giants only have to beat out mediocrities. The Giants are most likely a worse team than those 3, but their competition sucks. Same with the D-Backs and Dodgers having less chance than (in the very least) the Braves, and likely the Cards and Mets. Neither Arizona or LA look like good teams, but their competition is even worse. It'd probably take a Philadelphia and New York collapse to put the Braves in the playoffs. I'd say Cubs Phillies Brewers D-Backs Dodgers Mets Cardinals Braves Padres Marlins Rockies Giants Reds Pirates Astros Nationals

    Maybe you just don't have any friends.

    I'm dying to trade away Ceda and Colvin. I hope the A's/Braves like them.

    Sidney Ponson is fat. (It can't be said enough)

    AFAIK, Weeks has been healthy all year, and he's been abysmal. He sucks in the field too.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    That's still hilarious. Didn't you also vote for Fukudome thousands of times in a single day? Vance would appreciate you not broaching this subject.

    You expect Hendry to understand park factors? Or at least to weigh them more heavily than called me to explain why he didn't sign with me/former cy young 10 years ago factors?
  14. SouthSideRyan
    I do believe that this TLR team will overachieve. But I had them as a ~77 win team.

    Cubs don't match up poorly with a Burnett deal. Though that could end up as a disaster in its own way I guess. I've been banging this drum to anyone who'd listen, but unless Burnett gets hurt, whoever trades for him is going to be very pleased with the results. He can be had for peanuts, and he has a gorgeous FIP

    I caught that Rick Camp game on ESPN Classic a few years ago without knowing anything about it. It was awesome.

    Meaning that you don't want to hear it if they collapse as they had the chance to bury the division before September? I don't want to hear people saying we'll win 4 games all September because we're going on the road. I didn't see where anyone has said that in this thread. :scratch: Finishing with 16 of 22 on the road is less than ideal, that is all. I don't think anyone should have an issue with the Cubs building as big of a lead as possible before that stretch begins. I know, it's just to go-to lament when the sky starts falling.

    Hee Seop Choi and Justin Jones were both really good prospects when dealt. Pinto and Nolasco were pretty good. Hill and Harris weren't fringe.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    He'd be an upgrade in the back end of our rotation and he's a free agent after this season. He wouldn't provide a 1-2 punch with Zambrano in the playoffs, I'll grant that, but he would definitely win the Cubs a few games that they might not win if Marquis/Gallagher/Marshall is pitching instead. He helps the bullpen because he does provide 6 IP consistently. This would be welcomed as the season goes on. He's averaging roughly 5 2/3 this year. Last year as well. Marshall and Gallagher in their careers are averaging right around 5 1/3.

    Who was that in RF for Boston?? He threw the ball about 40 feet.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I hope people remember this post when they go to make predictions about a September collapse because of all the road games.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Eh, I think Ankiel/Rowand is a toss-up.

    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23359&hilit=chicago+first+time+bars+hotel Quick summary from a few years back. With regards to transportation you're about a 5 block walk from the red line train that will drop you off right outside the park.(Either Grand or Chicago) If you could clarify what type of bars, etc. you'd be looking for we could probably give you some more detailed advice.
