  1. wow I liked it a lot better the old way.
  2. I need one bleacher ticket for the woman. Please let me know if you have an extra. My girlfriend is mean and might harm me if she doesn't get to go please help. Thanks in advance. Call this number anytime tonight or tommorrow morning. I'll be up. It's like the night before Christmas. 847-553-6710
  3. Mariotti is a loser. I don't understand why the Cubs and White Sox would take the time to write the Suntimes about this issue that involves Bud Selig. I do agree with Jay on one Baseball in general has to take some heat for letting steroid use getting out of control in the 90's. Didn't the owner of the WWE and such get torn to sheds by the media once wrestlers started dropping like flies. When some of these players don't make it past the age of 45 maybe the issue will be taken more seriously. Ken Camanti won't be the last.
  4. I remember him having surgery a year or two if he's fully recovered and still throwing 97+ I would take a flier on him at 28 he still has time.
  5. Grace also led baseball in the 90's in hits and Doubles.
  6. I don't know about that. The Cubs have a very low committment 2-3 years down the road. They shouldn't be guaranteeing anything to Perez, Rusch or Jones beyond this year. And he went a bit long on the middle relief. But he has much bigger faults than "saddling the payroll" with bad contracts. You mean like saddling the 25 man roster with mediocre talent, thinning a farm system that he had previously worked so hard to build, etc.? Is the thinning out of the farm system because of injuries is his fault? Ramirez, Nomar, Lee,Pierre,Murton, Williams,Barett, is a pretty nice return on that farm system along with Cedeno,Prior,Wood,Wuertz,Ohman among others are a core from the farm to build on.
  7. Take your pick Julio Zuleta or Adam Dunn? Defense only in the equation.
  8. the title should say it is not a Cub. Scarying peolpe like that isn't nice unless its April Fools.
  9. Chris Hammond makes a good living throwing junk up there. If I could only throw with my left hand.
  10. What a great at-bat for Pagean. Kid looked really good up there.
  11. honestly this might be the best the Cubs have had in years. The only thing the bench lacks is right handed power. Mabry is a fine left handed power bat off the bench and can play four postions. Nefi is a Gold Glover caliber fielder that can play three postions. Jerry Hairston can all over the diamond and get on base. Pagean has a load of talent . Bynum can play everywhere and run the hell out of the ball. On MLB radio they had some scouts on that where raving about the talent that both Bynum and Pagean have. Blanco is fine defensive catcher with some pop. Remember guys this isn't playstation your bench is a place for role players.
  12. I would think Ardasma and his 99mph fastball and knucklecurve.
  13. Did Hendry sell a Cubs prospect at there highest vaule?
  14. I didn't know this kid had this kind of talent. I've read from other publicatiosn comparing him to Beltran also. It seems like a steal with what Hendry paid for him.
  15. I highly doubt Nova will break with the big league club . If the Cubs do bring him along it will be a waste he lost a of weight and hasn't pitched all spring. They should let him get his strength back at extended spring trainging or Iowa. Ohman Eyre Howry Wuertz Dempster Williamson I think Williamson is healthy and Wuertz will be fine.
  16. If Z is showing up his teamates thats pathetic. Zambrano is still a machine and a great pitcher .Showing up an umpire or opposing player is one thing but when your doing it to your teammates there's still a lot of work to done and at 24 he's got plenty of time.
  17. Todays Tribune has a tidbit with about Zambrano kicking dirt and making gestures on the mound after a couple plays didn't go his way. Baker talked to Zambrano after the game in a "long session". Baker is worried that Zambranos behavior can be "destructive" in Zambranos relationships with his teamates. I keep hearing Zambrano talk about being a Bull and a leader but he continues to do this even during Spring training can we ever expect Zambrano to take that next step and keep his emotions in check this season.
  18. I was hoping the Bears where going to add another big time defensive player if we couldn't get another WR threat but this offseason is looking more and like the Cubs offseason.
  19. i'm pretty sure that Prior stopped working with Tom House this offseason. Sadly I'm not sure that was such a good idea.
  20. I mentioned this in a pervious thread hoping Barrett would do this. With Prior and Woods health it's okay to dream.Also Barretts journal has been a great read throughout the classic.
  21. He didn't say they didn't get peak value, he said he wasn't traded "at his peak value". And let's not forget that Lee was an average first baseman when the Cubs got him. Nobody else was going after him because teams that could afford him either had first baseman or wanted better first baseman. DLee circa 2005 was nothing like DLee the rest of his career. Sorry but your wrong on that Goony the Cubs didn't get Dlee because no one else wanted him. DLee was dealt to the Orioles but they couldn't get a contract worked out . Hendry stepped in and got a deal done. Granted no saw Dlee season coming last year but everyone knew that Dlee was a young gold glove first baseman , runs well, and was playing in a pitchers park. Last year season from DLee was an MVP type year everyone around baseball knew DLee had all star potential and was after him before the Cubs got him.
