    I think this thread should be about all winter meeting rumors that aren't about Peavy.

    It almost feels inevitable that we wind up with Ibanez...which sucks because he's pretty much my last choice

    Actually it was Lou Piniella, and its wasn't "Suck it Lou" it was like "I wish Lou was here to see this" or something like that. I'd probably hate Lou Piniella if I was Scott Eyre too. Yeah. Damn him for trading Eyre to a team that won the World Series. Damn him straight to hell! Yes, because we all know that the reason they traded him was so he could win the World Series with another team It was a sucky thing to do, but business is business. Eyre was the odd man out. Cotts and Marshall were his lefties out of the pen, both of whom had futures with the team. Eyre would have been gone after the season. No, he was treasted unfairly and it was stupid for Lou to do it. He wasn't the odd man out of anything. He was better than Cotts. He was never given a chance in 2008, even though he proved with Philly that he could still be very valuable. Lou hated him for some reason and it hurt the team. If I were Scott Eyre I'd dislike Lou. With Philly 14.3 IP 8 H 3 ER 3 BB 18 K 1.88 ERA .77 WHIP He was also great down the stretch in 2007. Lou just disliked him for some reason

    You mean last offseason, when BA and MiLB both had him in their Top 10? Only a fool would write him off right now. where did i say i'm writing him off. i'm saying that his value has taken a huge hit over the last year or 2. you can't deny that. he's still a good prospect... just not what he was.

    if i had to guess i'd probably say we end up with him, but it sucks that this is likely to drag on for awhile. i'd be really happy if it was settled one way or another by the holidays

    This might not really have to do with the winter meetings, but I didn't want to start a separate thread and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. I've never heard of this site...but it's claiming that ron will get the call tomorrow- http://www.dugoutcentral.com/blog/?p=2118

    look at the link they give in that. they just piggybacked the tiny blurb from the article that was posted earlier.

    remember when bailey was supposed to be a really good prospect?

    but seriously, judging by the lunacy that has come from cubbiebum in this thread, is there any chance whatsoever that his kid grows up to be normal? i'm being totally serious. kids with parentsl ike him always grow up being really weird. seriously, christmas doesn't have to be about religion... and it usually isn't. kids do not associate christmas with religion unless you force them too. you're seriously delusional if you think that christmas is all about religion these days. actually, society has done a good job of making it not about religion by banning so much stuff. my parents are not even the slightest bit religious but we still celebrate all the holidays. why? because we're normal and my parents are intelligent enough to seperate these things from religion and were not selfish enough to deprive me of perhaps the single greatest thing about childhood. bottom line is that if you deprive your child of christmas because you don't understand what it's about, then you're a really bad parent.

    you'd rather have a low .800's OPS RF with terrible defense (abreu, ibanez) than jake peavy? why did you bring you bring up abreu and ibanez when he said dunn? i thought he was saying he'd rather have dunn or anyone else mentioned than jake peavy. i guess i misread it

    gus frerotte is the softest player i've ever seen

    Don't you remember last year during the Roberts stuff when DeRosa said that he didn't care where he played, as long as he was in the lineup? Anyways, it doesn't really matter. He'll play where he is told to play. I don't understand that logic. Unloading Marquis and adding Winn are 2 completely seperate things. If we unload 6 mil of Marquis then that's done. It does not rely on Winn, so adding Winn would simply be adding 8.25 of payroll space. No, why? I'd rather have Marshall start anyways. Everything that's been written so far this offseason has said that the Cubs will be trying to dump Marquis no matter what, even if Peavy is no longer an option. The point of eating like 4 mil of his salary is so we don't have to take anything back. I don't get why you keep saying this. Winn and Peavy have NOTHING to do with each other. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. If anything, it would hurt it since that's 8.25 mil of cap space wasted on a player that is not very good. Seriously, Winn is not an adequate nothing. He's a sub .800 OPS guy, come on. He is not an upgrade to what we have. He is a waste of money, plain and simple. I just don't understand why you're acting like we HAVE to add one of these overpaid right fielders, and I don't understand why you think Peavy has anything to do with Winn.

    I'm sure there will be times when I need to but Santa is one I need to do. I knew from an early age that he was real and when people would say that he was at school (teachers and the such) I would say no he isn't and I would get in trouble for it. EXCUSE ME! I'm getting in trouble because I know the teacher is lying? That is bull----. Teachers shouldn't be talking about Santa and saying he is real anyways. That is not there place. you're definitely going to be a terrible parent. right away you want to make your child an outcast. seriously, i have never heard of a kid growing up and having issues because his parents lied and told him there was a santa claus. i'm not a christian but i'll still let my kids enjoy one of the best things aobut childhood. anyways, is christmas really even correlated to christianity these days? it's all about family/friends, cool lights/decorations, and getting free stuff. kids don't care about where christmas actually originated, they care about having fun and looking forward to it every year. you need to be smart enough to realize that the holidays don't have to be about religion.

    good thing there are no shootouts in the playoffs
  22. 17 Seconds
    this team is full of chokers right now, which doesn't bode well for the playoffs. they're still not close to being a true stanley cup contender, especially with the nightmarish goalie situation.

    Actually in that thread most of GRB's best posters defended you. Look what it got me. I wonder how that conversation would go today... after Pie's first PCL run was a lot better than Rasmus' The same, if not worse. .283/.341/.451/.792 .251/.346/.396/.742
