Grabow is a decent arm that I would be happy to have back on the team if his contract went past this year. But since he's a FA this year, if he does in fact end up as a Type A, I think you'd be an idiot to turn down first round picks for the services of a middle reliever while decent, is a dime a dozen.

lol entertaining reading Dodgerblues after this one. They seem to be convinced the Dodgers are done, and a LOT of people are ripping on post-steroid Manny. The fans on that site don't like him anymore.

Sure we can probably beat the Nats. Maybe. Hopefully.

I agree with this, but with the Red Sox position in the AL East Standings, they couldn't afford to have him work out his issues any longer. On the Cardinals, with a huge lead, in a crappier league, facing a bad hitting team in a pitcher's ballpark, with a terrific pitching coach, it couldn't have been a more perfect situation for him to walk into.

If the Cardinals and Cubs were tied for 1st, and the Cardinals went 4-12, and the Cubs went 12-4, and the Cubs just signed John Smoltz who was dominating in his first start as a Cub, and I went onto GatewayRedbird or whatever its called and started updating his stat line by inning, I would probably get banned no matter my posting history. Whether or not NPC was trying to rile up Cubs fans, he needs to think a bit when he's posting here. For any poster on this forum, posting is a privilege, but its even more of a privilege for a rival fan. You (meaning rival fans) are welcome to post here and come here whenever you like and we love to have you contribute, but as Cubs fans this is our home and you are a guest in our home. You could have 10,000 quality posts as a Cardinals fan and (at least in Cubs and/or Cardinals related discussions) you will still be a guest in our home. Do you visit your friend's home and constantly talk about how much hotter your wife is than your friend's, and how she lets you have threesomes and your friend can only do it missionary with the lights off? It's the same thing here.

squeeze edit: whoops i thought it was only 1 out

2 days in a row without Soriano. Looks like we have a $18 million part time player

10-13 for 99 yards and 1 TD (0 INTs). Much more like the Orton I expected to see. Go Kyle! As long as he doesn't put up better numbers than Cutler, I am rooting for him.

Link? Sorry I left my computer for a minute. Mostly in the game thread. http://boards.giants.com/forums/4/ShowForum.aspx

The Giants forum is going nuts about their team's performance today ha.

I'd understand if he was signed for 1 year to go all in this year, but he's gonna be here for awhile. It's not like he has no one to throw to, they just aren't WRs. You have Olsen, who is one of the best pass catching TEs in the game, you have Forte who is one of the better receiving RBs out there. You also have your number 1 target in college so you have someone to throw to that your familiar with even if he game isn't good enough for the NFL (just hypothetical). He can win this year with what he's got (meaning he can make the playoffs and the rest maybe), so deal with it. We could go out and sign a WR but it might affect our long term plan to do so.

I can't wait to hear talk radio this week. Talk is going to go from "Cutler is a slightly more accurate and mobile Rex Grossman" to "Can we eclipse the Patriots record for most points in a season?"

Dear Bears Defense, Please tackle the person with the ball. Signed, Concerned Fan

Can Chicago sports talk shut up about Cutler being a bust now? K thx, listening to that was intolerable all week.

Cutler's gonna blame that one on Hester too.

Forte is a bit undersized so there will be times where he's drilled at the line, but hes a good enough back to get those yards back most of the time that a bigger back would get just from momentum.

Hester is making some pretty good blocks for a small guy.

See that was a pass that Cutler makes that Orton (or Grossman) couldn't

Didn't mean to rip on you, but I've never ever heard of someone being both a Cubs/Cards fan. And that comes from someone that lives in split territory for most of the year. If the Cubs/Cards rivalry isn't a "rivalry," I don't know what is. Recent years, yes. I'm not so caught up in it, as I follow both. And my sympathy always lies with the underdog, which started out as the Cards this year, and has now swerved to the Cubs. BTW, I'm also a Hawks/Bulls fan and a Rams/Cardinals fan. I suppose you're also a Bears/Packers fan and Lakers/Celtics as well Michigan and Ohio State both look good this year huh?

You must be an old timer if you still have allegiance to the old St. Louis Hawks :)

So you're not an actual fan k I guess I'm not. Not in your frame of reference. I don't live and die with either team. My sympathy's right now are with the Cubs. It's hard to watch sometimes (like this series) Don't get on my case because you can't understand my way of thinking. I never got on you for yours. Joke account. The avatar says it all. You can't be serious. I don't know what that means. I could'nt figure out how to put a personal one on so I chose the green girl cuz nobody else was using it. Just trying to be distinctive. But you get on me because I'm not in with the NSBB clique of team bashers. Since I'm not die hard (and new around here) you are threatened I guess. I'm supposed to type in hahahahahahaha every time Miles K's like you? Do your thing. Not gonna lie, that was a good comeback lol Well, as long as you aren't a diehard Cardinals fan, you are no douchebag in my book. I don't understand your way of fandom but I respect it. Personally rivalry is what makes sports great and allows team sports to connect one year with the next, one generation with the next. As much as it sucks feeling crappy because some hick white trash losers from So. Ill/Missouri are laughing at our misfortune and celebrating their idiot team being good, its part of rivalry. It was just as fun watching us stomp all over the Cardinals the last few years, so you live with the good and bad. The sad thing is as a Cubs fan its been mostly bad, but I'd still rather live another 100 years without a Cubs World Series title than live one hour as a Cardinals fan. You know how many showers it would take to wash that stink off?

We're getting pity cheers from douchebag Cardinals fans? Ouch.

I can see the headline now: "Little used rookie spark plug demands trade from Cubs. 'Send me to Washington, send me back to AAA, whatever' says scrappy little grit machine.

Sweet, 3 runs in the first 3 games of the series.

I almost hope Theriot does tie it to see how the IF is configured after all these PHs
