Yea, that's what we're doing. I'm getting the feeling that Deuce is 13 or 14. I remember responding pretty much the same way on like AOL message boards at around that age when all of the conventional wisdom baseball crap I thought I knew was brought into question. We should probably go easier on him... :? think again...a quote of his from the cubs.com board

If we give up Gallagher, Pie, and Patterson for Roberts, Hendry better eat a "last supper" type meal tonight because someone from this board will probably murder him... If we could do Pie for Roberts straight up, I might be able to digest it if we can get Figgins for DeRosa + filler. I think Felix Pie will suck as a major league baseball player and want to trade him before his value wears out, but I just don't see including him in a trade with Gallagher and Patterson for a marginal upgrade over DeRosa. my g/f will pitch a fit if they trade derosa...so i'm in favor of keeping him, heh.

i would say you should delete this thread, but i just posted in it.

The idea isn't to keep those four. The idea is to use those four in a trade that would be more of an upgrade than from Lofton "up" to Figgins... Theriot up to any real shortstop is a much larger improvement than Figgins would be over Lofton, if he is one at all. Let me guess, you think Khalil Greene over Theriot is more of an upgrade than Figgins over Lofton?? Cuz there arent any other shortstops out there that are available. And Greene is awful! Yes, Greene over Theriot is a much bigger upgrade than Figgins over Lofton. Much bigger. I'd pull some stats to prove it, but you probably saw all four players on TV a few times. How could I argue against that? I'll save you the time!!!! Greene vs. Theriot BA- .254 vs. .266 (hmmmm) OBP- .291 vs. .326 (hmmmm) BB- 32 vs. 49 K- 128 vs. 50 (ouch) SB- 4 vs. 28 (comparable to the HR's since it shows what kind of player they are) HR- 27 vs. 3 (this is the only thing Greene is that much better than Theriot)... power #s In my opinion I would rather have Greene than Theriot. But based on numbers Greene is god awful. An OBP less than .300!!!!! Are you kidding me? Yes Greene plays good defense and hits for more power. But Theriot isnt that type of player. There is no way Greene is more of an upgrade over Theriot than Figgins is over Lofton. i'm not sure what to say to someone who believes HR's are comparable to SB's

You're just jealous of him I know I am. why? i'd be jealous of him if he had a picture of the top of her head, if you know what i mean...wink wink. i don't get it. explain. blowie under the bleachers.

i think sonny gray goes to, and finishes, college....everyone i've spoke to about him talks like it's a big deal to him.

i'm disappointed in you.

i really hope you tried to stick your finger in her butt.

:lol: ](*,)

heh, thanks....i told my g/f at halftime that purdue would win by 7 (yes, i really called it) because i knew illinois would go at least 5+ minutes without scoring in the second half...boy oh boy was i right....turning point in the game was randle's turnover when illinois was up 40-31...he dribbles off his foot, purdue scores and then there were 2 very long t.v. timeouts and all the momentum was gone...illinois didn't score but 1 point over the next 5 and a half minutes, meanwhile purdue scored 17 or so, heh....long story short, illinois isn't good. p.s. it was really cold up there, i haven't felt weather like that in 5 years or so.

geeze, $533.16 for 2 tickets to the 9 games located in the infield terrace.

nevermind me saying the prices weren't too bad...damn....i guess the page hadn't refreshed or something.

didn't take long to get through...looks like the prices are pretty decent, to bad i still can't afford it, heh.

not too tough to sign up for the season ticket waiting list....it's going to be out of my price range but it's a nice idea.

Indie

cubs.com, when they go on sale.

my girlfriend is disappointed because joe mcewing isn't on that list, heh.

just now noticing this, heh...i had fun laughing at closser swing and miss here in nashville for a brief period last year.

Well I'm pretty sure he didn't have any writers prepare his speech for him. he may as well have, it might have been more convincing if he had practiced it.

T.O. should get considered for an oscar for his press conference performance.

I disagree. Green Bay's defense has a good chance of knocking off New England. Green Bay's defense would get ripped to shreds by New England. Dude, I hate the packers, but this is a false comment. Packers are stacked in the secondary. And their front seven is incredibly fast. With that said, they wont beat the Patriots. If they do, I will never go home. the packers secondary will get flagged for more pass interference penalties in super bowl history if that's the matchup. I was going to post the same thing. The Packers secondary is very good, but they won't get away with all that contact against Brady's team. exactly..their corners are too physical to not get called on it...whoever covers moss will be good for at least two.

my guess is all of them.
