Free Agent Predictions

Theo doesn't need to throw a ton of money at a player right away to build a winner. That's not even why Tommy wanted Theo so bad. That said, I'd love to have one of them. -
Good guys win!
-
Hey did you guys know that Nolan Ryan owns the Rangers and he attends all the games?
-
Come on Neftali Marmol. Hit batter, taking an 0-2 count to 3-2, walking another hitter.
-
Seriously, just give Napoli the MVP right now. Even if they don't win the series he deserves it.
-
More LaRussa moves backfiring horribly. This is the greatest thing ever.
-
Flipping during commercials had been enough to know how bad the game is.
-
Seriously... Week 1, in one game they had 0-6 Miami and in the other 2-4 Denver Week 2 they had 0-6 St. Louis Week 3 it was crappy and boring 3-3 Washington Week 4 it was 0-7 Indy Week 5 was probably the best game of the year with 5-2 Detroit playing 4-3 Chicago Week 6 0-6 Miami makes another appearance Week 7 we have 1-5 Jacksonville In 7 weeks they have featured winless teams 4 different times, and only had 1 game where both teams are currently over .500 at this point in the season. Incredible futility there. Also, Jacksonville and St. Louis both make encore appearances on MNF later this year.
-
I take it you didn't watch Browns/Seahawks yesterday I did not. And somehow Joe Flacco is giving Charlie Whitehurst a race for worst performance of the week. nevermind i think this game topped the Browns Seahawks game. This is embarrassing for MNF. What a horrible year of MNF games so far.
-
Holy [expletive], LaRussa just brought in a reliever to intentionally walk someone and then took him out
-
looks like Napoli is the runaway favorite for World Series MVP if the Rangers win. I can't believe the Angels had to give him up in order to take Vernon Wells and his contract.

That and lying afterwards trying to blame the priest for it. That was stupid but no reason to fire someone, especially because there is no way to know what was really said or how it came about.
-
Definitely going to far to fire him (especially at that point in time) but also definitely a bit embarrassing and [expletive] stupid. Maybe, but it had no effect on the games, so what does it matter. If any other team had a priest bless a field before a playoff series, it wouldn't have even made the newspaper. But in Wrigley it becomes an embarrassing story. T for the Cubs. The only thing I'll gripe about is not doing it in private before people were at the park.
-
I don't either. Wait, what? You both don't know why people here with at least a couple brain cells between them find the stories that try to paint Kenney as the root of what's wrong with the Cubs to be rather ridiculous? Why do you think he is good at his job when everything is pointing in the other direction? The article says that Kenney has done a great job on the business side of things.
-
? The news outlets showed a clip of him getting into a car with her as they walked out of Wrigley. Looked like a white 90's VW Jetta from what little I saw of it. Hmm, I'll look outside my building for that car and if I find it I'll be sure to break in and smell the passanger's seat.
-
You would have fired him for asking a priest to bless Wrigley Field before a playoff series? Why?
-
Not defend him, just think its weird that he's the sacrificial lamb for the media. Sure maybe he's a childish ass like David said, but nothing he's really done deserves this magnitude of scorn.
-
Hah, here's another good snippet

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-1025-cubs-crane-kenney-chicago--20111025,0,6854434.story The media's strange obsession with Crane Kenney continues: More about pissing off a non-profit he was on the board of, Lou's opinion of him, etc at the link

Free Agent Predictions
UMFan83 posted a topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Not sure if there was going to be a contest or something, but now that we have management in place, I am excited about hot stove season. Anyone want to take a stab at predicting where the top FAs are going? Not a ton of thought put into this list as I'm sure there will be some awful player-team matches somewhere along the line. Albert Pujols - Cardinals Prince Fielder - Nationals CC Sabathia - Yankees CJ Wilson - Cubs Jose Reyes - Phillies Jimmy Rollins - Giants Aramis Ramirez - Cubs Carlos Beltran - Angels David Ortiz - Red Sox Jonathan Papelbon - Red Sox Francisco Rodriguez - Cardinals Heath Bell - Padres Brad Lidge - Reds Joe Nathan - Blue Jays Jonathan Broxton - Yankees Ryan Madson - Phillies Mark Buehrle - White Sox Michael Cuddyer - Brewers Carlos Pena - Cubs Yu Darvish - Rangers Edwin Jackson - Red Sox Johnny Damon - Rays -
#-o Is there a significance to the number 12 that I'm missing other than they probably used old Dusty Baker jerseys.
