Oh boy, here we go.

I hate this team (the Cubs, not D-Backs). Demp blows, Miles blows, Lee blows, I like Johnson and Soto but they are blowing, Fontenot is meh right now and I'm not so sure if he's really going to be that great at any point, Cotts blows, Gregg blows, and Patton is pretty darn bad. But, Aramis, Big Z, Sori, Harden, Marmol, Theriot, and FUKU are all pretty awesome, soooo.... Having said all that I still have full confidence we will win the division, BUT they are just so darn unfun to watch right now.

Yeah my pitching is ugly, but your right, I can use my 3b depth to get some.

Thirteen teams, keepers, but we only get to keep 2 players which is annoying but whatever. Stats used are: Hitting: R, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, BB, K, OPS, NSB Pitching: W, L, HR, K, ERA, WHIP, BB/9, QS, BSV, NSV Roto League so having 1B and 3B is really dumb, but once again, whatever. Here it is: C. Joe Mauer 1B. Mark Teixeira 2B. Brandon Phillips 3B. Aramis Ramirez SS. Yuniesky Betancourt CI. Garrett Atkins MI.Plácido Polanco LF. Manny Ramirez CF. Shane Victorino RF. Justin Upton OF. Lastings Milledge UTIL. Ryan Zimmerman UTIL. Edwin Encarnación BN. Billy Butler BN. Jarrod Saltalamacchia SP. Justin Verlander SP. Aaron Harang SP. Ted Lilly SP. Gavin Floyd SP. Manny Parra RP. Huston Street RP. Troy Percival RP. Joey Devine P. Jonathan Sánchez P. Matt Thornton DL. Rich Hill DL. Joel Zumaya I don't like my pitching, but I feel like my hitting should be really good. What do you guys think? P.S. Any suggestions you have as to what trades I should attempt to make?

Rickie Weeks, wow.

Screw this trade, I really hate this move. I want DeRo back, screw you Hendry. I guess how much I hate this just hit me, I feel sick to my stomach not having Mark on the ball club anymore. Good luck Mark, we love you and you will be missed.

Any news on when this is going to actually get done and not on the definition of what a freak accident is?

Do you read?

I never said that loudmouth. Quit putting words into my mouth. You remind me of the person that tries to yell over everyone else talking & if successful, thinks your point has been proven. if you want to continue to put your coconut into the proverbial sand & say that the Cubs just happened to have 9 straight "off days" over a 3-yr playoff period, then knock yourself out. I happen to believe the offense is/was flawed. Hendry/Piniella seem hell bent on adding a left hitter in the middle & i've heard on numerous occasions that the team needs more speed/athleticism. That doesn't sound to me like a mgr/gm that they just had 9 bad days in a row in the playoffs. The first 3 games of those 9 are irrelevant to this Cubs squad. Z and Ramirez are the only guys I can even think of that were there for 2003, so for your argument it's 6 bad games in a row, not 9.

The stories themselves change over time, and that's why reporters have to revise what they've reported. The market is moving very, very slowly right now. The Cubs still like Peavy, but there's no movement anywhere from any team on getting a deal done soon. With players such as Abreu and Ibanez, much will depend on the kind of money they're asking. That's also been slow to develop. As of now, I can't see the Cubs signing Abreu. I can see them making a run at Ibanez, again, depending on his asking price and how much the Cubs have to work with. Part of that will depend, too, if they're able to move a guy like Marquis. Right now, not much is happening anywhere. That may change once teams decide on arbitration for their own free agents. I would also have to imagine that these player's value to the Cubs decrease if they are offered arbitration by their previous clubs. The Cubs need to restock their farm system, especially if Peavy ends up coming over in a deal. As tricky as the Wood situation is, I think they need to offer him arbitration. Someone will give him a 2 year deal, especially a team like Texas. I think they should avoid Ibanez and Abreu, since both could be too expensive and cost draft picks. Milton Bradley won't cost picks. He's the guy they should be courting to play RF. The Yankees declined to offer Abreu arbitration so he won't cost any picks, I hope we get him.

Maybe Darren Jackson? :) Dick Stockton We would go 0-162.

Seriously, I'm sick of this ****, the Cubs are going to come the heck back, we didn't go through this whole season to lose to the Dodgers.

HOWRY!!!!!!!!!

we will score runs tonight

Z IS A BIG GAME PITCHER, I LOVE Z!!!!

Z looks on tonight!

YES!!!!!!!!!

You mean Piniella, right Dick?

YES!!!!!!!!!

Ski, take it down, we lost 10-2 last time you posted your cartoon crap. Not to mention, it's pretty creepy, and maybe (NOT) it's just me but I don't find that picture (or cartoons in general) to be hot. Maybe your into that sort of thing though. Keep it to yourself either way, I don't even know why you would even post it again when everyone was creeped out last time too. I made too big of a deal about it, oh well, it's just kinda weird. On the other hand, this picture rocks: http://www.ceosmack.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/mark-cuban5.jpg Cuban is the man
