  1. The Nats also signed former Cub Jermaine Van Buren. Also, this article indicates Restovich was given a spot on the 40-man roster.
  2. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/columnists/cs-061106mitchell,1,3440357.column?coll=cs-home-utility That doesn't surprise me. He resigned his position in Baltimore because he wanted to be with his family more.
  3. I still say Jesus can't hit a curveball.
  4. The Sonny Jackson kind? That's my guess. DeJesus is taking the role that Jackson held on Baker's staff.
  5. Still haven't named that hitting coach..... I wonder what's the hold up.
  6. but murton is cheap...although payroll is being raised, there is still a budget. Any FA that puts up equivalent #'s as murt will cost us , willis will cost us...its much more budget friendly to just get a FA pitcher than give up cheap young talent to get willis and pay through the nose to replace the cheap talent we gave up to get willis Well stated!
  7. According to Peter Gammons, Ramirez ,along with Soriano and Carlos Lee, is looking for Beltran money.
  8. I'm looking into the Essex, the Days Inn on Harrison and Wabash, and the Congress Plaza. All are about the same price. Has anyone any experience with either?
  9. Walker is in a slump. Just a week ago, his OBP was over 400.
  10. The Essex Inn is right by there. I hear its cheap but its somewhere around Holiday Inn quality. Also there is a Days Inn on Harrison and Wabash about 3 blocks from the Hilton. Not sure what you're budget is like, but theres also the Palmer House Hilton a little farther away but nicer. Thanks. I'll check into those.
  11. Depending on the price, it could. Willis will be overpriced if he is traded. The Marlins will ask for a lot. If the Cubs had to give up Murton, Pie, and Marmol to get him, that could hurt the team. If not in the short-term, definitely in the long term. I'm all for getting another starter. I wouldn't mind Willis either. I just don't think he'd come at a price I'm comfortable paying. And we're not ripping you. We're attacking your post and the way it was presented. There is a difference.

  13. The Hilton is booked. Can anyone reccomend hotels close to it. The cheaper the better! :lol: And I know what you mean about clothing. I'll definitely have to layer. I might have to ask for some more cashmere sweaters for Christmas. Actually, this IS my Christmas present!
  14. Ok, finally got it to work. I got two passes! I'm going to my first ever Cubs Convention!!!!!
  15. Anyone else having trouble finding where on the cubs.com site we go to purchase these?
  16. They only gave up 25. I'm guessing the JT INT return doesn't count... That's correct. If a TD is scored by the other team's defense, it isn't counted agaisnt the point total for the defense.
  17. Vick- 7 Harrison- 18 Toomer- 0 Tomlison- 27 Dunn- 9 Shockey- 9 Williams- 0 Viniaterri- 9 Chicago-6
  18. I just took a pretty close look and I only have you with 82. Stat Tracker has him with 85.
  19. Roast you lead 85-84.
  20. You are all welcome
  21. Hey vance, was that before or after that last PAT by Vinitari (SP?) You now have 69.
  22. Ok, stat tracker update here... Smells Like Tuna 79 Guys without Pants 46 tres y cinco 51 ocho cinco 47 CCP 84 Roast 68 Raw Dawgs 46 4th and Goal 95 Ditka's Army 45 Da Bears 24
  23. That's an intriguing possibility I'd never thought about. Pay the posting fee to have him as a trading chip. I wonder if there's something in the CBA against that, but it's not a sign and trade because the person doesn't have a contract and isn't a free agent. The Padres did it with Irabu, didn't they?
  24. Is it possible the Cubs could put in the winning bid and then trade the rights for Matsuzuka to the Yankees for Arod?
