That strike three motion got old quick. -
STOP BUNTING
-
It definitely adds future value. Assuming we would've gotten the draft pick for losing Barrett, it would've come in a similar spot to where Burke was taken just last year. Then we have control of Bowen for 3 more years after this year too. The question is really whether Bowen/Hill/Soto can be as good as Barrett for the remainder of the year. If they can, it's definitely a good trade considering we have Bowen beyond this year. If they don't, then it's personal preference how much the added asset beyond this year is worth the decline in production for the remainder of this year to determine how good/bad the deal is.

Other way around.
-
That wishful thinking as unfortunately Hill didn't accompany Barrett to SD. Also, I really hope this isn't the last trade that sees a player who needed to leave, leave. I didn't necessarily mean immediately, Soto's still nursing a shoulder injury. Maybe Blanco will need that surgery and be forced to retire.

Davenport translations are garbage. I have to say that I'm intrigued by the possibility of a Bowen/Soto platoon at catcher.
-
Nay. Thanks. What's the speculation then? The Barrett+EPatt for Bowen+Linebrink deal from the 1st page?
-
I'm at work and can't read the whole thread, do we know the exact deal?

ROUND TWO - (5) RocketSauce vs. (13) OleMissCub
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I like the first one better because it looks more like something from Married To the Sea. -
haha, Louisville got eliminated [/unabashed bitterness]

ROUND TWO - (3) soccer10k vs. (6) Brian
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I had no idea who to vote for, but Soccer10k's pandering to the voters with the Bears and Bulls logo swung my vote to Brian. -
They probably couldn't hear each other over the thousands of yuppies shrieking at a routine fly ball.

Fontenot looked like a bat boy next to Floyd.
-
Marmol is frakkin' filthy.
-
Lewin you shut your lisped mouth about curses.

I was just about to make a Qatar joke, too.

You'd think Lalas could figure it out after the MLS All-Stars(in mid-season form) barely beat a Chelsea team that was in pre-season mode(and I don't think they had their full squad either). Of course, he was saying the exact same thing doing commentary during that game, so I guess that's expecting a bit much of him.

TOURNAMENT - (8) BalsaWoodKeyboard vs. (9) CubColtPacer
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Isn't it past the deadline for the 8-9s? -
Definitely the right foot, turns you toward 2nd base so your route is more direct, and you get there faster. No. This is wrong. Why the left foot then?

The loss of 1 WS may or may not kill us this year. Losing 5.6M next year when we have to re-sign Z, v 2.0 may for a long time kill us. Who knows what will happen with the new owners? Maybe they walk in and say 100M and thats it. You can then wave bye to Z, v 2.0 over Barrett, who by the way wont be back either. For the record that was Hoffpauir (who just turned 27 and who is now up to 320/358/532), Howry, and either a prospect (other than Guzman/Marmol) or more pen help in Cotts or Cherry depending on what the Braves wanted/needed. But thanks for totally simplifying the argument and making it ridiculous. Throwing in assorted mediocrity like middle relievers and minor league pitchers(NOT these good ones though) doesn't make it less ridiculous.

All you ever talk about is OPS. Why dont you like the defense? You do understand you're talking about Jason Kendall in a defensive "grass is greener" situation, don't you?
