    Somebody needs to trade for Jason Marquis before the year is over. The streak mustn't end!

    What's my assumption? The logic in passing on Dunn is that I'm hesitant to give a four year, big money contract to a guy who will be 32 before we likely will be competitive again. I was a huge Dunn supporter 2 years ago when we signed Milton Bradley, but I don't know that potentially overpaying for Dunn now would make a lot of sense when there very possibly could be better options available a year later, when we'll actually (from my point of view) be competitive again. Replacing Theriot with DeWitt and Lee with Dunn would go a long way to making us more competitive next year. If we add Dunn ($12 mil per), and the Cubs payroll stays where it is ($144 mil), that still gives us $27 mil to make improvement to the team. They will have room to make improvements. Those #s can't be right. Are you figuring in raises due to existing contracts/arbitration?

    makes me more sad about Mark Prior than Darryl Kile /insensitive comment At least Cardinals fans don't still have to see Daryl Kile and be reminded of what happened A Kile comeback would be about the only more unlikely comeback than one from Mark Prior. LOL PIXIE DUST

    Agreed with all but the end. I believe Sammy himself said he asked not to be put in the lineup that day. This is all so meaningless though.

    Sandberg's the only comparable in being a player who played in the era of the Cubs retiring #s, and actually being worthy of having it retired. His #23 was never handed out once he retired. Sosa's was handed out soon after he left. Agreed whole-heartedly on Hartnett, who is in the running for best Cub of all time. He deserves something beyond his name listed with 100 other just good Cubs.

    The entire paragraph on stats was complete gibberish.

    Well, I just doubled my productivity

    He was one of the names leaked by some paper (NYT I think?) as failing a test.

    In the Dunn article, it mentioned that Quade ended the Colvin to 1B idea.

    BA OBP SLG .296 .371 .403 .314 .405 .457 . .309 .372 .413 .273 .346 .373 . .307 .380 .430 .325 .393 .475 .298 .370 .414 .326 .395 .516 .331 .396 .455 .319 .409 .465 .309 .401 .471 .309 .390 .481 .280 .394 .429 .298 .386 .466 .252 .351 .386 .200 .279 .304 Any of the above would suffice.

    Is this some fantasy Illini fan world in which Eric Gordon doesn't exist? Judging by the fallout, I'd think this would be an Indiana fan's fantasy. But yeah, I didn't realize Gordon shot the 3 so well in the pros

    Typical Cubs relief prospect. Lots of Ks, Lots of walks. ETA: Got him and Ryne White (who sucked and is gone) for Aaron Heilman
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Hank Aaron was a cheater
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Considering likely contracts, Fielder would be the last of the 3 that I'd want

    Chester Frazier hired as grad assistant/video coordinator at Illinois http://www.fightingillini.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/082410aaa.html

    I don't get it? Is Pastner now going to be considered a cheater just because he followed Calipari at Memphis? Yes. Yes.

    Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you were a giant douchebag in college... ;) I figured someone would call me a giant douchebag now, so I guess this was better than it could have been. I did, but I deleted it because I didn't want another fight

    In all seriousness, why are there so many damn PGs on the team, and no guys who can shoot besides Curry?
  20. SouthSideRyan
    To be fair, before Roast's buddy redid the sod, it was filled with potholes.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    He sounds like he'll make a hell of a little league coach
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I wonder if Durant is annoyed at the level of talent on this team
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Blake DeWitt is better than Ryan Theriot this year, and is younger. Of course it was a success. The Lilly portion of the trade was the issue
  24. SouthSideRyan
    I didn't even need to read the quotes to know what Dibble thought. Sounds a lot like what sports radio morons said about Prior. Funny they don't talk about him being a [expletive] anymore
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Do they have any ties to FedEx?
