    Just blame me for IMing you about it. All you guys IMing eachother and stuff.. I feel left out.. :(

    Sorry but he didn't go into any in-depth details about this deal, but it's interesting to note that about a week ago he told me the Reds proposed a deal involving Dunn to the Astros for Jason Lane and Brandon Backe that the Astros turned down, so apparently the Reds at least wanted an ML-ready OF if they were going to deal away Dunn. I posted on ESPN under the name nolimits3 for a short time, but I mostly just lurked. It might just be me (or maybe not), but it seems to me that you're just getting this info based on what vance's source told us, which we've discussed at length on here. Still...if this is true, it'll make my year. Hendry would once again have pulled a big deadline deal for us. Adam Dunn in LF for this team... :shock: I'm not even sure how I'd line up all those bats... LF - Dunn CF - Hairston, Jr. RF - Burnitz 1B - Lee 2B - Walker SS - Nomar (come August, hopefully) 3B - Aramis C - Barrett =P~

    If we add Dunn, we'll have 3, will we not? :D EDIT - OK, so I was off.. I thought Dunn was slugging better.. but .550 ain't bad. :)

    They sure did in September 03, and most of September 04... It's a shame they ran out of gas at the end last year, they wouldn't have beat a minor league team at that point.

    ^bump^ 5-1 now! :D :D
  6. David
    Ugh... too bad they don't have Game Over Gagne anymore..
  7. David
    So when is Nomar projected to return? hahaha, not soon enough. is there anyone besides Dusty that likes Neifi as the everyday SS? *crickets* anyone? *tumbleweed rolls by* I don't believe there have been any updates on his August 1st projected return date. Cubs win! It wasn't pretty. Prior struggled a bit and the offense wasted way too many scoring opportunities, but a win is a win! Isn't it fun to be getting enough baserunners to be able to waste too many scoring opportunities and still get 7 runs? :)

    Dodgers have 2nd and 3rd with 1 out in the 10th, FYI.. EDIT - bases loaded now
  9. David
    GNR in the background.. Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...
  10. David
    Yea... oh, well.. LOL I say 4 runs should still be a save opportunity! After all, you can get 4 runs off one swing. That should be the cutoff point, if you ask me..
  11. David
    That makes for some list.. :lol: Let's see.. Rey Sanchez, Todd Haney, Jose Hernandez, Jason Maxwell, Mickey Morandini, Chad Meyers, Eric Young.. Hill, Grudz.. Any others who have spent time at 2B? I know I don't have anywhere near all of them.. :shock: Heh, that's as far back as I can go.. I started watching in 95 at age 12, so that's all I can remember first hand..

    Have I mentioned that I don't like Burnitz hitting 4th at all? Not that his contribution hasn't been solid, but ARam should always hit cleanup...
  14. David
    I think we need to start the Todd Walker BandWGN back up just in appreciation of his awesome-ness. T-Walk and ARam are by far my favorite players. No doubt, D-Lee is the best, but not my favorite.. D-LEE with another hit! :D

    You're not the only one. For some reason that incredible guitar solo at the end of November Rain by Guns N' Roses popped into my head upon reading this. Nothing lasts forever, even cold november rain... I always liked Estranged better. 14 Years was played non-stop in 2003 after the Cubs won the NL Central. And now it's been 14 years of silence and pain since Guns N' Roses released any real new material.. (The Spaghetti Incident? doesn't count)... As for Estranged, I like that whole trilogy (Don't Cry, NR, and Estranged)... actually, I like almost their entire catalogue..

    in the baseball offseason? they show the Bulls. College basketball I buy, the Bulls and the NBA? That's not a sport. Funny how two people can have such different perspectives. My feelings are the exact opposite. :lol:
  18. David
    I LOL'ed. :lol:
  19. David
    Yea, it's not like they've made big moves at the deadline the last couple of years while in similar positions. :wink: Not trying at all to be a jerk. I just think that you made an inaccurate statement.
  20. David
    Doesn't Freel have a foot injury that has the word "degenerative" thrown around when describing it? Actually, Freel called it his "degenerate toe" Maybe it was picking on handicapped kids or something. This made me LOL.. :lol:
  21. David
    Amazing that they could still maintain an overall winning record after around 30 years with no back-to-back winning seasons.. :)
  22. David
    I'll never understand why people always assume we're going to lose players all the time. We aren't a small-market team here. If we (er, the Cubs) want to keep a player, we will. Ala D-Lee, Nomar, Sammy, Walker, ARam, Wood, and on and on. This isn't 1992 and Greg Maddux anymore. Plus, like everyone else said, Dunn isn't a free agent for another couple years.
  23. David
    I love Len Kasper. :D
  24. David
    No, not Preston. He was already traded to the Nats, thank God. :D I mentioned this in the game thread...I'm not sure if anyone has thrown Craig Wilson's name out there as an option for LF. His defense can't be much worse than Dunn's (who, admittedly, I would much rather have). http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?statsId=6642 His power numbers are down a bit this year, but that would seem to be an aberration. And his OBP has always been pretty good, (great this year). Of course, it all depends on his contract situation. If his contract situation is favorable to us, maybe we could get him without having to give up too much. Just figured I'd throw it out there if it hasn't been talked about already. (If it has been, shame on me for not searching).
  25. David
    One of the few comments Chip Caray made that I ever agreed with was that Craig Wilson is Kerry's identical twin. Not as much anymore without the goatee, but still. Has anyone mentioned Craig as an option for LF from our AAA team from Pittsburgh? And is there any reason why he wouldn't be shopped? What's his contract status?
