A Cub fan's worst nightmare...
Transmogrified Tiger replied to satxcubfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If it happens that the White Sox are the winners of the first World Series in Chicago in nearly a century, just be sure you place the blame squarely where it belongs. Don't blame the Sox, who hired a *GREAT* general manager who continually makes solid moves to bring in quality players every year. Don't blame the Sox, who have a minor league system that is actually producing a few players for their major league squad, INCLUDING position players. Blame our Cubs. The team that really doesn't care about winning anyway. The team that would rather put it's energy into creative ways of expanding Wrigley Field and opening up more "ticket agencies" so they can rape the Chicago public out of more cash than actually put a winning product on the field. Blame the Cubs. And then try to be happy for your city, who finally has a winner after nearly 100 years. Afterwards, be sure to DEMAND better from our organization by refusing to buy tickets & merchandise until a winner is placed on the field. I don't think I agree with a single word of this post. -
Joe Mays anyone?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
When was the last time Mays put up a sub 5.00 ERA? 2001 A WHIP under 1.44? 2001 A K/9 over 5? 2000 A K/BB over 2? Never Mays had a good 2001, and has been TERRIBLE since. -
No, our first rounder is protected. what rule makes it protected? :? that puts a fuzzy feeling in my heart though. :D The top 15 picks are protected from being lost to FA compensation. Thanks. So if we acquire a type A FA, then the team we deal with only gets the sandwich pick? :) I'm not sure if it's just the sandwich pick or the sandwich pick + our 2nd rounder. Someone else knows for sure.

Could ESPN love Boston more?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Derwood's topic in General Baseball Talk
To be fair, Sutcliffe said he was pulling for Graffanino so that he could redeem himself for his Game 2 error. But the Northeast bias is ridiculous. I think Berman called the Red Sox THIS YEAR one of the greatest stories in all of sports at any time. -

That was a good game to watch. Disappointing that Manny and Ortiz didn't get another shot. Great performance by Hernandez, he's the reason they won the game.

Please and thank you. Trade for Bradley too and we're top notch offensively. CF Bradley 2B Giles 1B Lee RF Giles 3B Ramirez C Barrett LF Murton SS Cedeno/Nomar?

Nationals
Transmogrified Tiger replied to HoopsCubs's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Wilkerson, Guillen, Church, Sledge, and Byrd for only 3 spots. That and Bowden is stupid, so it could happen. -
Just a word of warning, and I have no first hand evidence to back it up. But apparently visiting team fans aren't treated well AT ALL in Cleveland. I mean, AT ALL. Just so you know. Browns fans are surprisingly die-hard. Yeah, I can back that up. Usually with baseball you are pretty safe. But with football, the drunks get a little more noisey. :? Yes, Browns fans are pretty die hard. Wasn't too long ago they had to end a game because fans threw all those beer bottles on the field.

NLDS: Cardinals Sweep Padres 3-0
Transmogrified Tiger replied to BigbadB's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Steve Phillips is absolutely terrible. It's not even amusing like Morgan is at times, just enraging stupidity. -
NLDS: Cardinals Sweep Padres 3-0
Transmogrified Tiger replied to BigbadB's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Klesko has like a .564 OPS against LHP this year. Johnson looks like a good hitter from his PCL numbers, and I've never been a huge Roberts fan, so I don't mind that either. -
What did he say that was a big swipe at Chicago, aside from the hot dog comment, or making fun of the Cell's location?
-
I think Huff will likely improve on his '05 numbers, and Murton will likely regress, maybe to the point where Huff outproduces him. That said, Huff is too much of a gamble to outproduce Murton where it's worth acquiring him. Add in his impending free agency and lack of defense and there's not much reason to go after him. There's better targets out there, some even on the same team(Gomes).

Is the winter meeting in December? Yes. There'll be a good deal of activity before then though. That's when the big trade rumors start to materialize, the FA market doesn't seem to spike to much at the meetings to my recollection.

And every year since 2003 the team has gotten worse. Hendry is very savvy. EDIT: In terms of post season and record. Prior & Wood were healthy in 2003. Most teams couldn't withstand their #1 and #2 going down two years in a row. Oh for the love of all things good and decent. Injuries are not the reason the Cubs have not gotten better. Yet they are a large part of why they have gotten worse.

Guillen says that it was a joke. Link I don't believe him.

While that's true, there may not be as much competition for Furcal, as others have noted. Last year the Red Sox, Angels, Cardinals, and Cubs off the top of my head needed a SS, so there was plenty of competition between those big market team. With those teams set at SS, and no other big market teams needing a SS, the asking price for Furcal may not reach 8 figures. EDIT: Or in other words, what Vance said.
-
And they will spank the Cardinals! :D 8) I'm just hoping they can get by the Astros for now. Even though I'm seven hours away, the Braves are my hope for being able to attend a WS game this year. No roadtrip to MMP?
-
I never thought to have a former player that was a good basestealer as a 1st base coach. That's a great idea.

Pick 4 of the following 5 to start this week
Transmogrified Tiger replied to RynoRules's topic in Fantasy Sports
Glenn plays for Dallas, they're playing Philly. I'd probably bench Glenn. -

1) who cares about a poster's sig on a message board on the internet?? honestly, does it really both you what a poster's sig is on a baseball message board on the web?? as far as im concerned, its not worth pointing out. 2) who cares if they have no IR in baseball. if you are hurt and cant play, you are no longer active. who cares if its called IR, DL, or something else? 3) i put rusch's ERA at just over 4.00, which isnt that much lower than he is now. to the best of my knowledge, he's in the 4.00's right now. 4) predicting RBI's certainly cant be as pointless as pointing out to another poster that he needs to change his sig. Calm down man, he's just noting that what's in your sig was dated since the season is over. And yes, there's a large difference between an IR and DL. I'm not positive but IR doesn't take up roster space in other sports, it's actually an important distinction to make, whether a guy is on the 15 or 60-day DL, never mind the use of IR.

Okie state is garbage, they got shut out by Colorado last week. Don't underestimate the crappiness of our defense. We let Young convert a 3rd and 30 on a scramble last week, and he stiff armed one of our DB's straight to the ground. Hopefully Smith can go nuts and not turn the ball over a million times. Please beat Texas. Like last year would be nice.
