  1. Looking up and down the Cardinals roster and their minor league system, I would steer clear of this guy. Sure, he lucked into a World Series Championship this year, but he most certainly didn't build a dynasty. He's better than Hendry, but that ain't sayin' much. Pretty close to a dynasty unless WS rings is your only criteria. That criteria is only reserved for Yankee fans. For Cub fans winning 5 games in a row would constitute a dynasty right now.
  2. What about President? He would hire his own GM and still oversee the moves. It would depend on the type of ownership that comes in.
  3. One could argue that's what the Barrett trade was. That was tossing deck chairs off the titanic, because they thought the deck chairs were weighing the thing down. Very true. Unfortunately, we may have tossed off the wrong chairs. We got rid of the boat anchor, unfortunately the ship has already run aground. Which anchor did we get rid of? Izturis, Jones, and Eyre are all getting paid more than Barrett was, for half the production... combined. The captain thought it was a boat anchor. Not me.

  5. Cardinals message board subject reads: Cards sign Maroth. :lol: Maroth sucks, ill be glad to see him pitch against the Cubs.
  6. Sox Bullpen for this series: Closer:..ERA....WHIP Jenks....2.96....1.26 Righty: Massett..6.40....1.86 Aards.....5.76....1.58 MacD.....7.23....2.25 Bukvich..6.75....2.17 Lefty: Logan....4.26.....1.26 Thorton..6.53....1.79 Um, these guys suck. Lets try and see as much of this bullpen as possible. But dont trail in the 9th.
  7. bases loaded no outs. 2 runs would be nice, but ill take 1.
  8. Soto >> Bowen Im trying to be a little open minded and give Jim some benefit of the doubt :wink: But yes id rather see Soto in the bigs than Bowen from what ive seen on paper.
  9. Can you imagine if he could stay healthy for 16 games + playoffs? *drool* I know. Mike Brown at FS is even better. In this position he has more of the freedom to survey the field and make plays by reading pass routes and the direction of the plays, this is one of his strenghts that he couldnt fully utilize by playing the SS position. Mike Brown is such a good football player when he is on the field. I too really hope he can be healthy in 08.
  10. This one stinks to the high heavens. Cubs are much worse now, and not much better tomorrow if at all. Bowen and Soto sure sound the same to me. So its all about the prospect and he doesnt look like i should be all that excited. And whats with sending the Pads $, its not as if Barrett is overpaid compared to him abilities.
  11. Yeah maybe it should really read "Kroeger promoted to AAA". Coresponding moves Colvin to AA, etc.
  12. that wasnt even close and the place almost collapsed with excitement.
  13. heart of their order here. do it this inning please.
  14. yeah we've been there, but hope not to go there.
  15. fox plays music as the inning is over. douchebags
  16. He put it on tee for him. Suprised they dont have that graphic
  17. For the Bears to get to the next level of offense efficiency Grossman needs to complete more passes. If he can get to 59%+ that would be a nice improvement. Hopefully Olsen and Wolfe will help out in the short and intermediate passing game, Olsen probably more than Wolfe, as well as Rex's continual QB improvement. They need to be more consistant in the short passing game. If Rex can get better at checking down and not throwing the ball way (sometimes that wasnt bad), not taking bad sacks, or 'gunslinging it' the offense i think can really take off.
