Depends if you want Demp back for 12M/1yr. Personally, I do not. The risk of dangling an offer to quailify for draft-pick compensation to too risky in my mind...Demp could accept and then we'd have a 36YO SP and we'll be back here again next July. Like was mentioned, write a nice check to the Demp Fondation as a mind-changer.

You are one hell of a lurker. Like Chauncy Gardener one said, I like to watch.

...and the short trend of bad timing for naive-press-leak-hating and/or arm-crampy-pregnant-wife-veteran-trade-chip pitchers continues.

I used to play whiffle ball with Kap in college. If his intel is as shape as his curveball, this ain't gonna happen.

Super D-Bag. I love it when he...pauses...between...words...because...he's...vamping...for...time...

Hey...while we are at it...does anyone have/point me in the right direction for the sounds of Ron screaming "This is the year" they use on the WGN promos? Ron = Homer (but thats OK...he's like your crazy uncle)

So hot that Ozzie decided to plunk him!

The one good full season of his career...and most of that in the OF. If Markie does settle in early at his usual .270/.330 numbers (and at age 32) this will bear watching. I have faith in Louuuuuu to play his players.

Do you mean after the ill-advised cartwheels in the outfeild? :lol:

Duh...hence the point of "over hyping". The Cubs just need to be careful not to believe all of their own hype. Brew the Kool-aide...but drink it in moderation!

Let's sum it up (my sum at least): Name's on Home Pinnies = Boo, but understand that it's all about $$ and jersey sales. However, like coach said in college "ya play for the name on the front, not the name on the back". Road Gray's = Very cool. If I'm buying a jersey, this is the one. Blue's = Boo. Very 12 inch softball-esqe.

In a Jennings v. Westbrook...I like Westbrook. Their 2006 stats are very similar except that Westie has a much better GB/FB ratio. Fewer K's, less pitches and seems generally more efficient. Besides, Clev needs/wants pen help and we have it in spades (and clubs too if you include a few of the names we trotted out in 2006)

"Prior had shoulder examined" Shoulder?? How about his head.

Scott "Merlot" Eyre runs his mouth a lot. Why Merlot? Merlot = A popular "whine", full-bodied with fruity flavors. Rich in strong aromas and moderate acidity"
