    man, the milton bradley signing was an absolute disaster. it literally could not have gone any worse.

    no it's not overdramatic when your defense of hendry is the same stuff over and over. all im saying is that as of right now, this team looks pretty mediocre. i don't know how you can say otherwise. we were mediocre last season and so far the only significant move of the offseason has been losing harden. and where did i say hendry isn't capabel of making a good move? i'm saying that the payroll and bradley situation is going to make that pretty hard. we're more or less locked in with this team after we get a centerfielder. we're going to be relying on bounceback years from guys to compete. i'm not saying we have no chance. i'm saying that as of right now, this team looks pretty mediocre. p.s. it's probably not wise to spoil the ending of a tv show's season one night after the finale aired. if somebody hadn't already spoiled it for rob, he's probably be pretty pissed.

    and you could just eas easily reference lee's monster year, or wells ridiculous production, or lilly's career year, or the fact that we lost harden. i'm not saying it's a guarantee we're going to suck. im saying that as of right now, it looks like we're going to end up heading into ST with a pretty mediocre roster and will be hoping on rebound years from a lot of guys to compete. assuming the cubs make the small type moves it looks like they're going to, what would you guess for the cubs win total next season? i know its pointless to guess now, but you could give me a general idea. the point is that i bet you'd guess a record that was fairly mediocre.

    You probably said that going into 2008 too. Plus there's still tons of time left this offseason and no team outside maybe the Phillies looks good right now. If the Cardinals resign Matt Holliday they might be added to that mix. But just about every NL team has simliar questionmarks or issues as we currently have. Our offseason hasn't even really started yet. It's not like were about done and just added a bunch of crap players. Scott Podsednik didn't get signed to be the everyday CF and leadoff guy and Hendry didn't name Aaron Miles(the fact he's off the team is a postive) the everyday 2b and number 2 hitter. So can we chill with the doom and gloom stuff in December please? Or at least until the team actually makes some moves. ugh just give it a rest JUST GIVE JIM A CHANCE YOU GUYS. i know he keeps making terrible moves, BUT HE MADE AN AWESOME TEAM IN 2008. just give him this 18th chance and you won't regret it this time

    would probably hurt them in the long run, but this would make out 2010 hopes even smaller

    our team is going to be incredibly mediocre next season

    he's only done it for 2 years. and the reason he's been moved twice is BECAUSE he's pitched lights out ball this seems like more of a risk management type move for the phils. they could have just extended lee and hoped he pitched like he has the last 2 seasons, but that would be pretty risky (at least for the money that he'll demand) considering his track record. i wouldn't want to give 15-20 million for a guy like that. halladay is a much safer play (not to mention he's a better pitcher. the phils will have halladay/hamels for the next 4 years. that's pretty beastly (despite hamels' 2009)

    that [expletive] [expletive] [expletive] i lost 147.10-146.60 that last interception he threw on the pointless hail mary into the endzone as time expired expired (+2 points for tennessee's defense) did it. the last play of my opponent's day.

    remember when nick swisher struck out kapler last season and gammons freaked out about it on bbtn? they showed some of the yankees laughing and peter said something ridiculous like "they can laugh all they want but none of them will achieve in life what gabe kapler has".

    You mean we haven't seen what Halladay can do outside the best offensive division in baseball yet? Hope he can adjust to the NL East (and remember he's pitching for the Phillies). yeah that post didn't really make sense to me either

    halladay is better than lee AND they got to extend him

    Yeah, way too much money for Lackey. But ESPN will somehow overlook the amount and say "Theo did it again." Way too much? He's a better pitcher than Zambrano and it's less money. At the very least, it's overpaying a top of the rotation starter, instead of some schmuck. Is anybody signing better free agent pitchers for less? Huh, how is lackey better than Zambrano. Zambrano has better numbers and is three years younger. Zambrano is a nut case but his numbers are better than Lackey's. please tell me how Lackey is better than Z. umm, the last time zambrano had better numbers than lackey was 2005

    i don't know.... his track record doesn't really show that so far. his first 3 years were very good, and last season he was hurt. in 271 career innings so far he has really nice numbers (1.18 whip, a k:bb of over 4). that's a pretty big sample size. even if those things you say about him are true, he's shown he can be well above average consistently.... assuming he's healthy.
