    There's no way that's true. Off the top of my head I'd take Johan Santana, Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, and David Wright straight up for Zambrano. And probably a handful of others too. But not ARod. I seem to like pitchers more than you and Soccer, but that's ok. I will say I'd take Pujols/Cabrera for Z, should've remembered that. As somebody else said, I'll take a player that goes out there every day as opposed to a player that goes out once every 5 days. Just my personal opinion.

    $12m for a career OPS under .850 isn't "cheap" if you ask me. Give me Murton. BTW - post ASG: Lee OPS = .870, Murton = .911 (.925 Aug, .969 Sep). I'll take my chances with Matty, thank you. I agree completely. Keep Murton.

    That Bonds guy was also likely better in his prime than ARod and comparing the two isn't really fair at this point. ARod's career high OPS+ at this point in his career is 167. By age 30 Bonds had put up OPS+ of 170, 205, 206, 182, and 168. Bonds also had an OPS over 1.000 every season starting at age 27 up until this year (when he barely missed it with a .999 OPS) and also never had an OPS+ of less than 160 after the age of 24. No offense to ARod, because he is a great player, but comparing him to Bonds isn't fair to ARod.

    Interesting, thanks for posting that goony. Eyre is a guy that needs to keep in shape better. I wonder who he is talking about that won't like this "in your face" tactic? He's basically talking about himself. I know that he hates exercise. Like someone posted on another thread, I remember when he said that he liked Baker because, "He doesn't make us run laps at all." He's a guy that won't fit under Piniella's personality, and personally, I think that's a good thing. I'd like to see if we can move Eyre in the next couple of months. My take is that he's very skeptical about Lou. He thinks some guys could benefit from some in your faceness, but certainly not him. He also doesn't believe he should be force to follow team rules if they require him to do more than he likes doing. Yeah, it sounds like he feels he should have immunity from doing the same drills/exercise as the younger players do solely because he's been in the league for a while.

    He was looking for a base to throw.
  6. soccer10k
    Yes He can wave it. He can waive it as well.
  7. soccer10k
    Seconded.

    Dusty: "He's a catcher. Therefore he's slow. We need speed at the top of the order. Speed never slumps."

    Maybe out of pitchers. But not if you include hitters as well.

    And after a near miss by Rooney, John O'Shea lucks into a goal just over 30 seconds into the second half. 2-0 Man U.
  11. soccer10k
    Oh yeah. This game could easily be 3-0 right now.
  12. soccer10k
    And Man U finally broke through on a nice shot by Scholes from about 25 yards out.

    Another great save by the Copenhagen goalie.

    Belgium, Luxembourg, and Netherlands will submit a bid to host the 2018 World Cup as per yahoo sports
  15. soccer10k
    Saha with a great chance just 30 seconds into the match but he can't convert. Good save by the keeper.

    Copenhagen/Man U in Champions League action on ESPN 2 right now.

    Leinart dinking and dunking the ball was far more effective than Edge running the ball. They should have realized that Edge couldn't run the ball against the Bears D yet they still ran the ball 36 times with Edge. Why? Leinart threw 42 passes, averaged 5.5 yards per attempt (almost 10 yards per completion) and threw no picks on the day. Throwing the ball was obviously the better option for the Cards. EDIT: At the end of the game after getting 2nd and 3 after a 7 yd completetion to the Bears 24 (thank you ESPN play-by-play) the Cardinals ran the ball twice with edge seemingly just to set up the field goal yet they still had 2 timeouts left. Why not try to pick up the first down with a quick pass? The Cards lost this game.
  18. soccer10k
    Absolutely do not trade Zambrano.
  19. soccer10k
    "THROW STRIKES!!!"

    Barkley said the Cardinals were going to "shock the world" last night. EDIT: As for the first part of your post, I completely agree. The Cardinals didn't play like they wanted to win the game and seemed to be playing not to lose after they got the 23-3 lead. That's what led me to ask the question "anybody see a 24-23 finish" after the Bears cut the lead to 23-10. The Cardinals didn't look good in the second half. The completely changed their game plan and that is the reason they're 1-5 this year.

    Too early? I am suprised that we don't have a Cubs/Reds Opening Day game thread up yet. With Fred's comment, I was going to suggest starting a Cubs 2007 opening day thread.

    Don't worry. ARod will be here soon enough.
  23. soccer10k
    Holy smokes on the Green tirade. Did he really curse (say BS twice) on national television?

    I would just like to point out that, with this statement, you have just left yourself wide open for an inordinate amount of good-natured fun-poking. And with that statement, you've set yourself up for a lot of jokes. :lmao:

    I don't think A-rod is worth Ramirez and a quality pitcher. He is good but A-ram had similar numbers and he is younger. Giving up an arm as well makes it even less attractive. Subtracting a big bat and a pitcher for another big bat is not a real big upgrade. I agree. I would have to think long and hard about ARam for ARod especially if you added a pitcher into the deal.
