    no, of course he's not. no one is suggesting anything in that ridiculous scenario. i think the notion that he's spending "hours upon hours" working out is equally as absurd, though. knowing the mark prior that we all got to know in his brief time in the cubs organization, i cant see the guy busting his ass to get back. dont you think that he'd be back and healthy by now if he had tried busting his ass in the past? it's a pretty fundamental approach. to getting healthy, that is. It's well known that blown-out pitching ligaments need *more* work to get healthy...

    Okay, change that to "really wanted Bradley."
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    Even as a Cubs fan, I wish that were true, because it would mean the rest of the league had wised up. But I doubt it.

    Unless Hendry has Peavy in his back pocket and is just waiting for the announcement of a new owner, his comments on Marquis make absolutely no sense at all. If Hendry has a trade ready for Peavy, all of these perceived dumb moves (picking up Gaithright, trading Derosa, looking to sign Aurillia, trading Marquis, looking to get rid of Pie and Cedeno..) start to at least explainable. But to trade Marquis for a subpar reliever and then to say that it is going to be hard to replace Marquis and that your still looking for a 5th starter? Something isn't adding up. An alternative explanation would be that he is strapped for cash and really wanted Miles.

    As good as Lowe is, I can't imagine I'd ever want to pay $60 million for a pitcher's 36-39 seasons.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Gaithright isn't the reason they've given up on Pie, it's the result. I'm not sure what sort of "value" the Cubs are even in a position to get for him. You aren't going to get a similar talent with options left. You don't really want or need any MLB position players, he's not good enough of a prospect to net you a quality fifth starter or a good bullpen arm. Unless he's part of a Peavy haul, I'm not sure where there's a trade for him.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Even ignoring the incredibly relevant point about the money, the guy spent his entire life planning to be a big-league ballplayer. I'm sure he's just given up on that.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    He is..... not good. Neither is anyone else in the OVC. It's a mediocre I-AA, excuse me, FCS conference.

    Rumors are strong that Iowa's Jake Christensen will be transferring to Eastern Illinois. I-A tranfers never work for us at QB, but I've got hopes for this one.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    On a brighter note, at least the conversation about this poster on Cubs.com has something to do with Peavy and the Cubs. Go back a few pages where people decided that the future of the Reds was relevant. The state of the division is completely relevant to how hard the Cubs should push for another arm and how much farm help they can afford to let go of.

    wha? you serious? hahahaha Looking at the Superbowl winners from the last 10 years or so what I see are teams that were, for the most part, offense first. The Patriot teams that won did so because of Tom Brady and the offense. The Colts won because of Manning. The Rams, The Broncos and I'd say even the Steelers won because they had a good offense. On the other side of the coin there's the Ravens and last year's Giants. The Ravens are an extreme example of absolute domination on one side of the ball, much like the Superbowl XX Bears. The Giants, though they did have a very good defense, don't win without strong play from Eli Manning. "Defense wins championships." Cliche > Reality

    Hits are overrated. Keep the puck out of the net :)
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Nice to get off to a good start.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    20-25 starts of very good pitching is a nice thing to have.

    And the cubs don't trade for more bats than they sign. Until a week ago it was 50/50, so that counts as "most." So I was a week behind. We could have arrived at that without 15 different misrepresentations of what "good" is. Didn't you claim 67%? No. I said that 67% of the list in his first rebuttal were not good.

    Fukudome isn't good.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Trade is more likely, same way we got most of our good bats now. Oh? Free Agents Alfonso Soriano Milton Bradley Aaron Miles Kosuke Fukudome Joey Gathright Reed Johnson Trades Derrek Lee Aramis Ramirez System Geovany Soto Ryan Theriot Felix Pie Ronny Cedeno Mike Fontenot (or trade) Micah Hoffpauir At a quick glance, 67% of that list are not good bats. I was being thorough. Leaving just the "good" or were paid to be "good", and you statement is still far from accurate. Free Agents Alfonso Soriano Milton Bradley Kosuke Fukudome Trades Derrek Lee Aramis Ramirez System Geovany Soto Why would you leave "paid to be good" when I didn't say that? You keep trying to massage the numbers.

    never mind
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Still time to steal one we don't deserve, now only down 1!
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Well, at least this time we deserve to be losing.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Wow, one of the worst penalties I've ever seen (not the call, the actual commison of the penalty). Versteeg should really, really think hard during this 2 minutes.
