  1. Who cares if hes knocking the ball all over the place and his OPS is still .938 for the season.
  2. So when do Soriano and Jacque hit their first HRs?
  3. Scott Eyre is in the pen licking his chops
  4. Wake up, we are in the middle of a 99 year losing streak
  5. Yeah uhhh...Go Bulls! Edit: We hit Sheets well last time, and Lilly has been our most consistant pitcher now that Hill kinda sorta faltered tonight (I didn't see the game so I could be wrong). BTW, Bulls @ Heat, Game 3 is on Friday night
  6. OK, my team is in a huge pitching rut. My team ERA is over 5.00, a run higher than the second worst team. My team wins are 5, also way in last. My team WHIP is in last by a far amount as well. This is my rotation: D. Willis Jered Weaver G. Meche K. Wells D. Bush J. Patterson C. Carpenter (DL) so basically, I am desperate for pitching. Who knows when Carp is going to be back right? On the other hand, I have TONS of power. My lineup consists of McCann, Ortiz, C. Jones, Dunn, Vlad, G. Sizemore, LaRoche, F. Thomas, Bill Hall. So I was proposed this trade: I give up: Carpenter Vlad Sizemore Meche I get: Hafner Ibanez Peavy I know I am getting ripped off a bit, especially if Carp comes back and dominates...but I am in last place in the league, and need to make a move or else I'm in trouble. What do you guys think?
  7. OBP guys....the reason I was down on the team when everyone else was predicting Division titles and whatnot
  8. I'll take you one step further. Ronny Cedeno is a crappy baseball player, and has no business in the major leagues. I'm sure he's a great kid. But he's the Sanjaya of Cubbie-dom. He needs to be gone. You've got Angel Guzman at AAA and this guy is in the majors, for Christ's sake. He's not a great kid. He's married and has kids in Venezuela apparently, but last year he was repeatedly harassing my roommates sister and her friends trying to hook up with them. I even have his old cell phone number as proof.
  9. Whether or not its because of his lack of playing time (and chances are it is), Murton is garbage right now.
  10. Thats what the Cubs do.... Last year we managed to allow 2 runs to score on a sacrifice fly and allow 2 runs to score on a Wild Pitch
  11. 2007 Cubs: Same lack of results, only with added inability to beat the Cards!
  12. He's our PHer dudes! Oh wait, Dusty isn't the manager anymore.
  13. Can we move Theriot to SS yet? Soriano Theriot Lee Ramirez Barrett Jones Murton/Floyd DeRosa Pitcher Please please please
  14. Don't worry Cards fans, Izzy will GIDP
  15. Few situations I endorse a sac bunt. This is one (as long as they PH izzy for someone with a clue...which isnt possible because all of our MIs are in the game)
  16. If no one discovered the answer yet, Ron Santo to sing TMOTTBG.
  17. I would normally be pissed that Murton isn't playing, but since he decided to go back to his first half 2006, ground ball or nothing philosophy, I don't think I can.
  18. who was the inside threat in the last bulls dynasty? Both Jordan and Pippen were able to post up. Thus taking higher pecentage shots. No one one this current team can post up. Therefore, both Jordan and Pippen were inside threats. Just like at the deadline there was talk of the bulls trading for Bonzi Wells because he was a guard who could post up and could provide a consistent inside threat. How often do you see anyone on this team back someone down like Jordan and Pippen did? Yeah, if we start comparing this team to Jordan's Bulls we're going to find the '07 ballclub falls short in more than one way. I think we should all remember that this team is not done building yet. A few sportswriters have noted that we still have a good cap situation, and we're getting another lottery pick this year. In my mind I'll be happy if we can vanquish the Heat and then take the Pistons deep. I'm not holding out much hope of beating both of those teams in succession this year. If we did that, I would be incredibly shocked -- pleasantly so. But this ballclub's not going anywhere for awhile. I don't see us sinking downward for a few years. Regardless of what happens this year, we should be back and even stronger next year. I don't think you can say that about either the Heat or the Pistons. Both are getting older, not better. I don't think we'll have any cap room after we extend Gordon Deng and possibly resign Nocioni. We'll always have our MLE though
  19. Not the Pacers have made great deals recently, but the Bulls would either have to a) give up more or b) take on Tinsley or another bad contract along with O'Neal for the Pacers to accept that deal. That said, as a Pacer fan, I'd be very interested in some incarnation of O'Neal to the Bulls for young players/draft picks. Tyrus, Duhon, 10th pick for JO?
  20. Optimistic is an understatement! Playoffs predictions: Mavs over Warriors in 5 Suns over Lakers in 5 Spurs over Nuggets in 6 Rockets over Jazz in 7 Pistons over Magic in 4 Cavs over Wizards in 4 Raptors over Nets in 7 Heat over Bulls in 6 Conference Semis: Mavs over Rockets in 6 Suns over Spurs in 6 Pistons over Heat in 6 Raptors over Cavs in 6 Conference Finals: Mavs over Suns in 7 Pistons over Raptors in 6 NBA Finals: Mavs over Pistons in 5
