  1. Yep. And what's with the talk about "being good enough to make it to the playoffs"? Shouldn't we be trying to win the World Series? We are not good enough. This team has huge holes at SS, C, CF, and RF. We need to upgrade at least one of them.
  2. We are below-average offensively at CF, RF, SS, and C. One of those positions, at minimum, needs to be upgraded.
  3. They just had Bruce Levine on ESPN 1000. Here's what he said: -Cubs still interested in Ryan Church, but it's a matter of whether Bowden will ever bring down his trade demands. Mentioned Jay Payton, but doesn't sound like the Cubs are that interested anymore in Payton. -Cubs are happy with what they have right now. Doesn't look like they're interested in bringing in anything big like a Dye because it would render Floyd useless. -Organization thinks highly of Murton, but he's not really a Lou Piniella type of player. Doesn't sound like Murt is going to get much playing time. -J. Jones has no market. He's done a decent job the past couple of weeks. Don't look for him to be traded. It doesn't sound like the Cubs are going to make any big moves at the trade deadline. :cry:
  4. From Bruce's latest column: :lol:
  5. probably has more to do with Iowa having a surplus of infielders and a shortage of outfielders and???? He's one of our better prospects and he's playing LF because they don't have enough outfielders and they'd rather play some lower-tier prospect at 2b instead?
  6. Is this a one-night posting marathon, or are you coming out of retirement?
  7. You should see Hamels' numbers against guys with freckles. Murton wouldn't even have a chance.
  8. You can't be serious. This post doesn't really even deserve a response. What a joke. Fanboys, LOL. LOL @ you thinking I'm a Dunn fanboy. Right. I was actually calling the fact that you'd base your decision on whether or not the Cubs should get one of them (I'd prefer Griffey, FWIW), on what they did this weekend a joke. The mere suggestion that anyone should no longer discuss or consider (or hope for) the possibility of one of them coming to the Cubs based on what they did in this series is completely and utterly laughable. Thanks for playing. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Why fight about who we want more? Why not just get both. Play Dunn in RF and Griffey in CF. Sure our outfield defense would be absolutely horrible, and we'd have to gut our farm system to get them both, but boy it would be worth it. :D
  9. I'll be at Friday's game as well. I hope it's his first day back and pitching. I would love to be there when he gets his standing ovation. He's worked his tail off to get back. He deserves it.
  10. Scott Eyre? :twisted: I think you missed the part about wanting a lefty with success.
  11. Roast is going to hit a 2-run homer here.
  12. You obviously weren't watching the Padres score 11 against the Astros in the 1st inning of today's game. :lol:
  13. Yay Cardinals! *goes to take a shower after saying that*
  14. Mark DeRosa is a great ballplayer. I love having him on this team.
  15. CUBS WIN!!! Great game all-around, minus Hill and Fontenot of course. It's great to see Lee hitting homeruns and Aram has become amazing with the glove. We just keep winning series!
  16. Brewers up 5-0 now. Kipper has given up 11 hits through 5.
  17. Roster moves that should be made tomorrow: Fontenot send back down. Hill DFA'd. Epatt and Soto brought up.
  18. Bring up Epatt and send Fontenot back down.
  19. Nice at-bat Fontenot. Keep those up and you'll find yourself back in AAA.
  20. Gallardo with a no-hitter through 4 in St. Louis.
