I wonder how much better he'd be in the NL Central, too. -
Just heard. Wonder what it would cost. Edit - Matt Garza from TB. Edit - http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/

Other than the apparent insistence on having Colvin replace Fukudome as early and as often as possible. Also, I doubt Soto is going to bat third all that often. I would guess Ramirez/Pena/Byrd in the 3/4/5 slots. I doubt Soto will get that honor, too, but I sure would like to see it. And yea, Fukudome is wishful thinking...
-
As of right now... RF - Fuk, SS - Castro, C - Soto, 3B - ARam, 1B - Pena, LF - Sori, CF - Byrd, 2B - DeWitt That look about right?
-
I wouldn't think so...don't we have a decent amount of salary coming off the books? Not sure how much of it gets eaten up by escalating contracts.
-
I don't get this unless you want to have an opening to offer Pujols half the ticket sales in '11. How much payroll do we have locked up for 2011?
-
I'm pleasantly surprised... They probably purposely leaked the laroche rumors so we'd all be happy with this. Anyway, were teams shifting on Pena any more this year than they had in the past? That might be an (bad for us) explanation for the BABIP drop. If not, it's reason to be optimistic. Just don't know where I could get that data, if anywhere.

Saying they've gone up to $60 is quite a bit different from saying they've gone up $60... wtf

Nationals going hard at Cliff Lee?

It's not that I think the Bulls are getting any less of a fair shake (although the Rose thing is ridiculously frustrating) than most teams... it's that I want the Bulls to start getting the treatment that the really good teams get.
-
It's not like this defense is radically different from that one... the main difference is that guys are older and our elite player on the line is now on the edges instead of at the 3 technique. But it's built pretty much the same. I do agree that stuff that happened five years ago (against a completely different opponent - no less) isn't all that relevant today, though. Anyway, my point is that yea, the way our defense and overall team is built and reliant on speed, it might struggle in the poorest of field/weather conditions, but it has nothing to do with Bettis knocking Urlacher on his ass five years ago.

The Pats never lose 2 in a row. I'd much rather face them coming off a big win than a loss in a hugely important nationally televised game.
-
So are we running a Patriots/Broncos like YAC heavy offense?
-
You got your clutch shot.
-
Can someone summarize wth Webb's health situation is/was?
-
Personally, I'm in the don't waste money and years on Dunn while we're still trying to get out of this contract mess camp... I'd rather take a shot at next year's guys and go with a serviceable stopgap for this year. Especially given Dunn's age and bad and likely to decline defense. I've definitely come around in terms of thinking that defense at least kinda matters (granted, it's 1B). e.g. i'm in dew's camp.
-
Calling Bradley a role player (does that even exist in baseball outside of like relief pitching and lefty pinch hitters?) after the years he had just prior to our signing him was pretty weird.
-
Not sure... That's a pretty big road favorite, though.
-
I'm not sure why you would expect unanimous support of the Bears. They are only 3.5 point favorites. They were 3.5 point dogs last week and many people picked them. It's perfectly reasonable to pick the Lions in an upset this week. It's almost a classic trap game, if New England was an NFC team. They're actually 5 point favorites.
-
Schefter has been trolling with his picks all year.
-
at least the year he predicted we were going to win the world series and he the cy young we had the best record in baseball and he threw a no-hitter so actually he did ok Didn't he predict 120 wins going into the 05 season?
-
Remember when zambrano got into the business of predicting wins?
-
Raisin was in erik Cubs game thread mode :lol:
-
They're missing a 2 (or a 3 for the half the season Deng doesn't show up). Boozer isn't going to help there. I know. I'm trying to be hopeful. It'd be nice to have someone to pound it to when we aren't hitting jump shots (which is a lot) Fair enough. Wish they had better play from the backcourt besides Rose though. Deng (and Rose, for that matter) will be much better off when Boozer is back and commanding defensive attention that Taj just isn't. Deng will be a 3rd option offensively and can hopefully do well just draining open 3's and cutting like a maniac. Please stop driving/posting up, Lu.
