    your right IMB, it is lame. I should mold my personallity after the greatest poster of all time, you, because you never have had a post that was anything but respectful and enlightened, and you never get old to other posters. IMB for sainthood! But to get back to my question, and it is a serious question, isnt Soccer's post an arguement against the idea of a choke artist? imb's not the greatest poster of all time. meph is. I believe that Vance won the tourney here, fella. Yeah, but I got named in the Mitchell report for using posting enhancing drugs... 8-[ I thought that was Yeti... Why does everyone want me to name my supplier!!!

    Prior isn't represented by Boras. His agent is John Boggs, I think.

    As a tribute to [expletive]... http://www.radiobrennt.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/big_tits.jpg Here's to one of the good guys in baseball.

    Would Pie for Nathan get it done? We could have a Soriano, Fukudome, Murton outfield in that scenario.

    Time to clinch homefield through the NFC playoffs. Go Cowboys!

    A few names in free agency include Livian Hernandez, Bartolo Colon, Jon Lieber, and Matt Clement. None of those sound too hot, so a trade would likely be the only way to acquire someone. Of course, if what I hear about Clement maybe having to accept a minor league contract, I'd love to try to be the team that gets him on the cheap.

    I never was very creative with my username.

    Operation Shut-Down
  12. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I think it's going to be interesting to see how the HOF voters approach Clemens now since they basically excluded McGwire based on allegations.

    If you want to know what the report says, you can download it on the ESPN site. If you have adobe, then you can search the document for a name and find all references to that name in the report. For example, Sosa's name is in the report. Here is it what it says... So, to say this report implicates Sosa in any way is a fallacy.

    Orioles non-tendered Roberto Novoa.
  15. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Mark Prior is now officially non-tendered. Others include: Morgan Ensberg, Jason Lane, Kevin Mench, and Kiko Calero.
  16. vance_the_cubs_fan
    He'd be a good fit for a team like Pittsburgh.
  17. vance_the_cubs_fan
    A few more... 4. Willie Harris 5. Mark Hendrickson 6. Nook Logan

    While he's been hurt, I remember when he was a top prospect. Link.
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    It's apparent the Cubs don't view Patterson as a viable second baseman any longer, and as a LF, I'm less than enamored with him. I'm not upset over losing him. Murton- I hate to give him up as I think he has skills that our team could use. He doesn't really have a position. I can give him up as well. Gallagher- This is the one that hurts. I'd love to replace him with Veal, Hart, or Marshall. Guzman- meh. At one time what could we have gotten for him? He's damaged goods. All in all, it's not a horrible deal on our part. Essentially, Murton + Gallagher for Roberts. I'd rather choose another target than Roberts if we're trading Gallagher though.
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Rosenthal's take on the deal... Link. I think this about sums things up...
  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Bruce? Bruce? Could you help us here, please?
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Have they settled the Izturis trade for cash or are we still owed a player?
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Nice article, Bruce.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I really don't think Prior will end up with the Reds. In reality, where he ends up could be a wide open field. There's a couple of things to think about. He's refused the Cubs 2 yr offer because either he wants out of Chicago or he doesn't want to give up years of free agency. If he just wanted out of Chicago, all bets are off on the type of contract he'll be looking for. If it's the latter, then he'll take the best one year deal he can get. Of course, a wild card could be if a team were willing to risk a 3-4 year deal at decent money around 6-8 million per season. I think the Padres are the most likely team to get him. They would likely be willing to risk the one year deal considering they would be the front runner to sign him after he rehabs. Furthermore, Prior might be willing to take less to rehab with them as he would be close to home. As far as a team throwing a crazy multi-year deal at him, look at teams desperate for pitching who would have to risk the dollars to get a pitcher of his caliber. He would become a high-risk, high reward type move. Teams like that could possibly be the Royals, Rangers, Orioles, and Astros. The Reds could be in this group as well.
