    Intersting...thank God there is something that will take away from news nationally the signing of Jacque Jones.
  2. UMFan83
    I hate sports.... the Cubs and Bulls are trying to take the good vibes from the Bears
  3. UMFan83
    I bet Lance Berkman demands one in his next contract.
  4. UMFan83
    Start a campaign similar to the one in Detroit about Millen. :) Personally, I want to organize a day where we get as many people as possible to not buy tickets to one game as a protest...anyone interested in joining me? I can print out flyers at Kinkos for free
  5. UMFan83
    Where does the other about $15 million go? You think the Tribsters will actually pocket it?
  6. UMFan83
    At least our dominating bullpen will keep most teams within 3 runs of us... Seriously, I'm not spending a dollar on the Cubs next year.....or maybe the next 3
  7. UMFan83
    Jacque Jones has caught the most balls for active players with over 1,000 strikeouts with a career OBP between .326 and .330 who play their home games North of Springfield, IL with a last name of Jones
  8. UMFan83
    Lets give Jones $22 million for one season so we can at least say that we spent all our excess money this offseason
  9. UMFan83
    Haha that would be hilarious. Don't think we need a RF that bad... BTW, didn't Sosa or his agent mention about 3 weeks ago that he had some mystery teams bidding for his services and that he would reveal them very soon?
  10. UMFan83
    Gotta work on their spelling though
  11. UMFan83
    haha, reminds me of some of the trades we propose here
  12. 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)
  13. 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)
  14. UMFan83
    Again how are we an 80-85 win team. I don't see how our moves improved us 1-6 games next year
  15. UMFan83
    Sweet, so 2009 is our target year for a WS Title?
  16. 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
  17. UMFan83
    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.
  18. UMFan83
    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?
  19. 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)
  20. UMFan83
    Cubs lineup if that deal was made: Pierre, CF Youkilis, 3B Lee, 1B Ramirez, LF Tejada, SS Barrett, C Murton, RF Neifi!, 2B
  21. 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.
  22. 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?
  23. UMFan83
    I think that Jacque Jones is a realistic possibility with or without Tejada
  24. UMFan83
    So if the Falcons lose they aren't in the playoffs no matter what? Oh man, gonna be a tough game...
  25. UMFan83
    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.
