too bad the deal fell through.

And apparently everyone knows how desperate we are to get rid of him. :(

Man if that pic is gonna keep being reposted can we x out the one on the left's face?

The chick on the left's face got beaten with the ugly stick a little. She's definitely meh, only because her body is kicking. The one on the right is better but still isn't all that. There are hotter marlin mermaids than those two.

I think you just caused me to masturbate at work.

In other non-new news, WSCR sucks donkeynuts.

Will anyone pick him up after this year? For a Million? I would. Guys with his talent come around once in while. Shoot, I'd rather have him for a million for July August and September than fatty mceyre for 25 dollars for the whole year.

With a ball or a towel? There's the originality!

How's Marquis look tonight? Getting his sinker working again?

(sarcasm)

What?!?!? The majority of people that wanted and still want Zambrano traded was due to the fact of his contract status and the Cubs ownership status. There is no need for poeple to "eat crow". It seems that all you do around here is drop in radomly to threads to critque other posters. It is quite annoying. Calm yourself. He's referring to the people who were saying Z sucks. There was plenty of that around for a while. And for the first 2 months or so of the season all those people were right, Z sucked. I still find it odd as hell that the guy pitched so terrible, and then he declares its a "new season" and starts pitching like Cy Freaking Young. Weird. My only point was you'd think after 4 full and great seasons (great ERA+), people wouldn't turn on Z for struggling for 2 months. You'd think he'd get a little more time. He's one of my favorite Cubs, and I didn't like seeing that. That's all.

It's great to see all the ridiculous people eat crow. All the negativity is gone. Not surprising with Cubs fans.

:lol: :lol: :lol: ' People worshipped this guy the first 2 month of the season. "Why isn't The Riot starting every game" "What is lou thinking?" "The Riot should be our starting short stop" And now, let's send him down. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yea the fact that Lilly gave up 5 early runs definatly should be overlooked. The offense had chances, and didnt but they still came back. Overcoming a 5 run deficit is not an easy thing to do, and we better get used to it because what we have seen the last 2 nights out of Lilly and Marquis are the real Lilly and Marquis. Its going to be brutal watching them pitch in 95 degree heat, with the wind blowing straight out. Doh. Forgot about Lilly craptacular performance. Yeah, it should be fun watching the real Lilly and Marquis pitch the rest of the year. :puke: 7 IP 6 hits 1 BB and 10k's. I'm not quite sure that's craptacular, but I didn't get to see the game. Was he just unlucky?

I think it's safe to say some of the commentary on him in the transaction thread (including calling him abysmal) was a bit premature.

he didn't write it up - it was a scouting report. I guess to show his athleticism?

Supplemental 1st round pick last year. Info my friend who does a lot with the minors sent me: Unfortunately, with the Cubs responsible for player development, we might as well send him somewhere else for his sake.

sample size. :wink:

I have a friend who does a lot of stuff with the Minor leagues, and he says that Burke is a legit prospect. He definitely has the capability of breaking out. His future is not written like other prospects. I trust his opinion, so that was good to hear.

Ok, maybe it's the other message boards I post on, but NOTHING I say is personal on here. I took issue once with your obssessive bashing of Kerry Wood. This is the second time I've quoted you. Maybe you're thinking too much of the significance of your posts? I have no problem with you, I've posted to you TWICE. If that's singling you out to you, there's not much to do about it. You post alot here. If I wanted to "single you out every time I have an opportunity" there'd be alot more than two posts to you. I don't know you, this is a message board, I don't have a problem with you. I have an issue with hyperbole, but I probably need to get over it, because it's not going anywhere and I realize that.

I stand corrected on the Dontrelle piece of my post.

You do realize it's tough to judge NINETEEN YEAR OLD minor leaguers based on stats in Low ball right? Man you are the king of hyperbole. Badger, Nice to see you pop in and add your precious comments to all these threads. That's all you ever do is pop in complain about someones post and leave. You're adding nothing to this thread. The fact is, and get this one right OK Badger..The fact is that your 19 year old prospect is currently terrible. Does that mean he will be always this bad? Who knows but so far it hasn't been great for him. This is the first transaction thread I've posted in in over year buddy. Nice try. But your negativity and general managing expertise is like clockwork, like the sun rising and setting. All I'm saying is to call him abysmal is hyperbole. I don't like this trade either, but lets see what we got first. It's not like he's a 23 year old low ball player. He's 19. There are many 19 year olds who seemed blah who have developed into solid ballplayers. Maybe the change will be good for him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dontrelle was a throw-in a low A ball player that you would have said was "abysmal" when he was 19 and how did that turn out? I'm not encouraged by his numbers, but the word abysmal for a 19 year old still developing IS hyperbole. That being said, I agree with you that Hendry sucks.

You do realize it's tough to judge NINETEEN YEAR OLD minor leaguers based on stats in Low ball right? Man you are the king of hyperbole.

I bet he wouldn't be all that bad. He seems like a pretty articulate guy.

I hope we see him by the end of July/early August...
