    Gotta work on their spelling though
  2. UMFan83
    haha, reminds me of some of the trades we propose here
  3. UMFan83
    How can you say the Bulls aren't exciting when they pretty much go down to the wire on every game they play (except tonight)
  4. UMFan83
    Shawn Green? Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes (sad how far we've fallen, but I'd welcome him with open arms. I might even spend money on the Cubs next year)

    Again how are we an 80-85 win team. I don't see how our moves improved us 1-6 games next year
  6. UMFan83
    Sweet, so 2009 is our target year for a WS Title?
  7. UMFan83
    The Bulls get no respect. They have easily the most exciting (non-white sox) team in the city and they are probably fourth in the pecking order. Order: Bears Cubs White Sox Bulls - - - - - - - - Blackhawks For the record, before 2005, I'd have put the Bulls ahead of the White Sox

    Walker, Patterson, prospect for Floyd? They sort of need a 2B, they would need a OF to replace Floyd, and they'd also need something else.

    What is the line on "Cardinals use him for 1-2 years and then find a way to trade him before he makes 5.5 million"? How can people hate on the Cubs for signing Dempster for 3/15 and then praise the Cards for signing Looper for 3/13.5?
  10. UMFan83
    85? We won 79 last year and lost Nomar and Burnitz, and gained Pierre, Howry and Eyre. Sounds like a wash to me (improvement in bullpen negates loss of power and having to play Corey everyday)
  11. UMFan83
    Cubs lineup if that deal was made: Pierre, CF Youkilis, 3B Lee, 1B Ramirez, LF Tejada, SS Barrett, C Murton, RF Neifi!, 2B
  12. UMFan83
    I hope he goes to Cleveland. When the Cubs start out 4-11 next season, I plan to have Cleveland as my backup team.
  13. UMFan83
    Why would you want to downgrade at the GM spot? KW is a terrible GM, who got EXTREMELY lucky with his moves last yr. My bet....Javy Vazquez will stink with the Sox. And yet the Sox have managed to get a power hitter, a new starter and a key utility man this offseason, all three the Cubs claimed they needed. The Cubs have traded 3 young pitchers for an OF with a noodle arm that had a sub .700 OPS last year. And the White Sox are the team that won the World Series last year remember?
  14. UMFan83
    I think that Jacque Jones is a realistic possibility with or without Tejada
  15. UMFan83
    So if the Falcons lose they aren't in the playoffs no matter what? Oh man, gonna be a tough game...

    I think it is a pretty common belief that tearing your groin running out of the batters box is a fluke injury. If that is true, what injury is not considered a fluke injury? He got injured doing baseball things. If Kerry Wood throws a pitch and tears a ligament in his shoulder how is it any less of a fluke? Because it has happened before? Then is the first time it happened a fluke? Kerry Wood has had shoulder problems a few years in a row. It has been the same part of his body. When Kerry Wood injured his shoulder the first time was it a fluke? That's all I'm saying. Even more the reason to consider him an injury prone risk that he has injured multiple parts of his body during his career, leaving him at a huge risk of reinjuring something over the course of a year.

    I noticed that too. I think the RB's will have a good day.

    330 Yards Total Offense???
  20. UMFan83
    You should change the name of this thread to "Cubs offseason over; another disapointing year ahead"
  21. UMFan83
    My gut feeling is a 3 or 4 seed. Going over the scenarios, it would be tough for the Bears to not win the division... However, each game remaining is challenging in a unique way. So I'm not ruling out complete collapse just yet, but I think the defense is good enough to give them another 2 wins.
  22. UMFan83
    It's a win-win for us. You guys get a nice modern ballpark that isn't shaped like a urinal cake. The Cubs never have to be traumatized by Busch Stadium ever again. Although last year we didn't fare to badly..
  23. UMFan83
    I'm pretty sure that the Cubs are holding that number back for eventual plans to retire it in honor of Paul Bako
  24. UMFan83
    The sad thing is that if Brian McRae could do it, anyone should be able to.
  25. UMFan83
    Abreu?
