  1. The date on this thread was wrong the whole time and none of you bozos noticed it? For shame!! Turn in your cubbie spikes right now.
  2. Every time I look at this thread now, for a split second I see: MacPhail is dead.
  3. I'd be interested to hear what they say. My understanding is, there would need to be an HD version of the channel on the cable/satellite lineup for this to happen. Maybe they can just air the HD games as part of the MLB package though, that would work.
  4. As someone who's four months older than Theriot, I resent the statement he's "closing in on 30." We're all younger than we think we are. :P =D> You're old. Haha. I'm closing in on the next tier. Riot would be like my little brother. That makes me ancient and boring to women. Not a good combo. 8-)
  5. You all believe there's a curse. You just don't have the GUTS to admit it.
  6. That's like showing a dog a big, fat piece of meat and then suddenly switching it out for a dry bone. Thanks for getting our hopes up!
  7. They need to do *something* sheesh. This team is in a stagnant hole right now, making no moves to replace released players, doing nothing during FA to improve the club at all. Draft day needs to come. Tomorrow. We're withering on the vine here.
  8. Crap, I don't like what's happening to Murton's career. But at least he'll get some damn ABs down there.
  9. That's possible and it's also possible that Theriot will work on his weaknesses and limit the holes. I'll grant you it's possible. He is closing in on 30, though. And I do think that matters.
  10. Answers above.
  11. I operate under the assumption that Theriot's numbers fell off a cliff because pitchers figured out how to work him. His spring numbers really don't mean much. Roberts' dropoff isn't nearly the kind of "off the cliff" failure that Theriot's was/is.
  12. Wow, maybe Angelo will trade up. That would be weird.
  13. It's pretty funny to hear national experts continue to believe our short stop situation is solved because of Theriot. Heck, a lot of Cub fans really believe this too. .....I hate when these guys pick us to win it. Just makes me feel bad. I can't remember a time when we were picked to win anything and actually delivered.
  14. And I thought it was a thread about recommendations for hotels and transportation while in Chicago.
  15. Negotiation 101. If Hendry made an offer 3 months ago and kept it on the table, he's a bigger moron that I thought. Yeah, but once again, I don't think we really know that sort of thing. We're just hearing media jabber, it doesn't necessarily match up with the details of what happened behind the scenes.
  16. Good deal. Glad this is on hold. Now let's concentrate on baseball.
  17. 'Cuz it's fine to complain about things, that's why :D
  18. The problem is these sucky pitchers give us the willies and we don't trust them for crap.
  19. This is what I want but I'm really REALLY pessimistic about that happening. I just don't think it's gonna happen. I don't see it either. Hopefully I'm wrong.
  20. SS & CF are probably going to be big holes for us no matter what. We may as well try to at least learn about some players, give them some time at the major leagues. If that means play Pie and live with a few struggles, then so be it.
  21. I wish we something, anything substantial so we wouldn't even have to talk about Cedeno vs. Theriot. It's highly doubtful Cedeno will ever be anything special, and Ryan definitely won't. Damn crap SS position, been this way for years.
  22. Is it possible the O's want Theriot and that's what's holding up this blockbuster of a thread....I mean trade? What's holding up the deal is that the O's don't know what they want, they just know it always needs to be "more." This is also why they suck at baseball.
  23. No TV for this one? Ridiculous! What's WGN got to show? Another thrilling re-run of Moesha? Christ this is stupid.
