  1. I am very happy. You ya feelin today Wood lovers!
  2. So..no new updates huh? I looked all over and haven't heard a thing. From what I have read on this thread I would love to have this guy on board. Soriano LF DeRosa 2b DLee 1B Aram 3B FDome RF Soto C Cedeno SS Pie CF Not bad. It would be nice if the package was right to put Tejada at SS. Soriano LF FukuD RF DLee 1B Aram 3B Tejada SS DeRo 2B Soto C Pie CF Me likey...
  3. I dont know if he is past his prime, IMO I think he is in the last stages of his prime. I agree, he will be wildy overpaid and for that I agree, Just say no!
  4. *sigh* Thats about all I can say right now.
  5. Travishamockiry
  6. Hmm... 18.6 (avg) mil for 5 years. Twins payroll about the same as 2 unopened twinkie packages dated from 1979. I am going out on a limb and say this deal gets rejected.
  7. I am just going insane with Hendry's thought process.
  8. On the other hand, I read that the Feds just dont need Anderson in jail now that his testimont about not giving Bonds the drugs has pretty much flown out the window.
  9. Its about time... I can't wait until this is all over so we can focus on Arod breaking this *tainted* record.
  10. Do you care who will be at 2nd or ss? Matsui/Infante MI sounds horrible to me, and a downgrade from a possible Cedeno/Theriot/DeRosa MI. Is that worth getting rid of Jones?
  11. There has to be a reference to the World Champion Red Sox. I.e., "..he gives us speed, like Ellsbury.." Or, "he's versatile, like Youkilis.." Dont forget: "He drove in runs while striking out over 100 times!" "He was an great player in 2004!" "We felt it was time to move Jacque some place where he will be happy. We like Jacque as a person, we just felt it was the right time to part ways."
  12. I've been a Cub fan for over 35 years and you wouldn't believe how long that list is. And I don't know how many of those guys you've ever heard of. My Cubs teams of the 70's and 80's sucked worse than yours! :P
  13. I think the Cubs could enter the Arod sweepstakes and still talk to Matsui. Dumb.
  14. This move makes no sense. We don't free up that much money, we still may sign Matsui, and Infante will play 2b, ss, and CF? 3 positsions we do not need to worry about backups for at this time? Is this guy really going to be taking DeRosa, Pie, and possibly Cedeno/Theriot's AB's? Even if this is a precursor to something big, this doesn't help the team at all.
  15. Goal Toews! B'Hawks up 3-1 on the Red Wings
  16. You have got to be kidding me! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071109/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/bbn_giants_vizquel
  17. I was just going to come here and post that. Rutuu looks decent as well.
  18. So when that rare time Pierre gets on and steals a base, Soto can drive him in. I just can't think of any other place to put him to be honest. Batting him 8th makes some sense so that when he steals a base, the pitcher can bunt him over to third for Crawford, Loney, and the rest. If we can spin Pierre off to someone else, that would be ideal. I would rather have Kemp than Crawford, IMO. I was just thinking out loud.
  19. Lee, Marquis, Patterson and/or prostect for Loney, Kemp, and Pierre Pie, Kemp, Gallagher (and/or prospect) for Bedard & Tejada Murton, Veal, Marshall for Crawford Crawford LF Loney 1B Aram 3b Tejada SS Soriano RF Derosa 2B Pierre CF Soto C Z Bedard Lilly Hill Prior/Woody/free agent/etc. ---Or---- Keep Kemp: Soriano LF Kemp RF Loney 1B Aram 3B Tejada SS Derosa 2B Pierre CF Soto C Z Bedard Lilly Hill Marshall I dont know what the financials would be, but that would be some crazy offseason!
  20. 1945 & 1935 burn in the hearts and minds of all to this day!
  21. i could count at least a dozen people on this board who i'd rather have as cubs' gm than jim hendry. me being two of them. Is Micah on the list? How about that CPatt 20 guy? :P
  22. They just annoounced it right now during the game. Now even if the Red Sox win the Series, it will be overshadowed by Arod. LOL.
  23. Anyone think Pie is going to have a tough time adjusting to that hill in CF?
