That's what I remember as well. The sticking point IIRC was the Cubs didn't want to have two huge contracts on the book for that one year.

CUBS SWEEP!!!

Very impressive major league debut for O'Malley.

McGwire Avoiding MLB's Steroid Investigation
soccer10k replied to The Voice of Reason's topic in General Baseball Talk
He might have had a HOF caliber career if you exclude his numbers from 1998 on. But well before? Not a chance. Going into the 1996 season he only had 277 HR's on his career. For a power hitter, those aren't HOF numbers. Going into his 1998 he had just 387 HR's. Still not HOF numbers for a power hitter. -
Hilarious.

ARam should have let that ball roll. It looked like it was going to go foul.

BARRETT!!

Soriano soon to be traded?...
soccer10k replied to Cubzfan64's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
What exactly would be the gamble? The worst thing that happens is you get Soriano for nothing but what is left on his contract the rest of the season. Giving up talent for a month rental. You don't have to give up talent to make the claim. The claim costs a nominal amount of money. It's no risk. As soon as someone claims him, the Nationals will withdraw him and try to arrange a trade (which is where you would have to give up something.). Again, you don't have to trade for him if you claim him. There is no risk to putting in the claim. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Nationals really didn't want him, couldn't they just tell the team that claims him "hey, you can have him" and then the team that claims him would have to pick up his contract? I remember Manny Ramirez being placed on, and clearing waivers a couple years ago because nobody wanted to risk having to pick up his contract. -
FINAL SCORE - (1) Led Zeppelin-45 vs. (3) Queen-22
soccer10k replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Zep got a bigger percentage of the vote though. Zep won 45-22 which is 67.2% while The Who won 61-37 which is 62.2% of the vote. -
Agreed. He's going to score from second on virtually any single hit to the outfield. He doesn't need to be on third.
-
He played 18 innings yesterday and is tired? Oh, I forgot he played yesterday. :oops: Didn't he have 4 hits? Yes. He went 4-8 yesterday.

Yay for getting the bases loaded with one out and not even putting the ball in play.

I'm excited to see O'Malley pitch today. I was hoping to see him when the Iowa Cubs came to Sacramento but that was when Rich Hill got sent down so he made the start instead of O'Malley. Here's to a good major league debut.

Meh. The only problem is that the viewers are likely to be exhausted too. Let's see I got up at 5 a.m., CDT, so how many hours of sleep did I get? I got exactly........zzzzzz I love living on the West Coast. While I was unable to watch the game due to work (I would have watched had I not been working) I went to bet a 2 am Pacific Time and got up at 10:45. Nothing like getting almost 9 hours of sleep.

This should be a fun game to watch. Both teams are likely to be exhausted.
-
Longest game thread since June 2 (1381 posts). Wow to that and the game tonight.
-
For me, it's all about Saturday's during the fall. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the NFL. But I like college football a bit more.
-
I could maybe see him sitting Jones a couple games but Pierre has played every single game this year. Baker won't sit Pierre to play Pie..
-
Cantu and his .301 OBP this year (.313 career) can stay out of a Cubs uniform.
-
Cubs won't get involved if that's the price tag. Wow. That's $20 mil per year for 5 years if you divide up to cost for his rights over the duration of the contract. Yeah, no way he's coming to Chicago. Have fun in New York Daisuke.

Mike Cameron
soccer10k replied to RockTheIvy's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
He'll be 34 before next year and has a $7 mil club option with a $0.5 mil buyout for 2007. Assuming the Padres buy out his contract, I would only offer a 2 year deal at most for around $3-4 mil per year. If he wants a longer deal then let him go somewhere else. -
I don't have the source that cheapseats is talking about but it has been mentioned on the board before and I believe is a BP study.
-
I try to control my optimism for the Cubs because each year I end up disappointed.
-
I like both the pinstriped home uniforms as well as the blue alternate uniforms. I also like having the names on the back. The grey uniforms shouldn't be used and I'm indifferent on the BP blue uniforms.
