pan-ache?? Is that where you hurt everywhere at once? See also: Mark Prior.

nope that's definitely Alyssa Milano.

which prior understood, thus its a simple call for prior

Or was just smart enough to not use a personal check. And for baseball players, the probably qualifies as genius. remember that story of him having an insane amount of cash stolen...yeah

Murton really has value. I wish he would play here, but I get why they are dealing him. He'll likely be part of the package that lands Hendry Brian Roberts. I'd prefer him and Gallagher go toward landing us Blanton, and Pie and Hill and EPatt land us Roberts and Bedard, and Dempster and Marshall and Derosa land us Burnett. (Just listing some of the rumors in this thread!) Imagine, if you can... Zambrano Bedard Burnett Lilly Blanton :shock: =D> \:D/ :pig: :shock: :shock: That could theoretically work. Yeah, it could, though it would empty the farm, and would still leave us short two OF. (A CF and a 4th OF) But, heck, with that rotation, an NL Pennant would seem to be virtually assured. Virtually assured? How about this rotation: Prior Wood Maddux Zambrano Clement What are you talking about? Alluding to the 2004 rotation that was popularly thought good enough to win a pennant by itself. Can't we just forget that season ever happened? what season?

Ichiro Eric Davis Griffey Jr

throws with the wrong hand. We need *more* lefty bats and *less* lefty arms.

exactly. cuz he was only 4 1/2

Heh... I'm not all that enamored w/ Fuku either. I have the feeling he'll be a tad underwhelming...but then that means he'd fit right in w/ our Cubs Yeah we should be so saddened to have Raul Ibanez in our outfield. I mean, after all he has been a better hitter than $136m man, Alfonso Soriano, three of the last four seasons. Of course you're right to point that out. Guess I just don't feel as hyped over Fuku as others. good lord, we don't tell him when he's right, it just encourages him.

He had surgery in August to remove bone fragments from his right elbow. He's expected to be ready and able come the spring. I know that, but the news has nothing to do with his elbow

elbow?

then what is it?

how has all the love for Theriot turned so quickly to venom? http://www.northsidebaseball.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40194&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=the+riot

in the article, gibbons suggests that his violation was HGH. I thought there was no testing method for HGH... Or is this suspension based solely on the fact that he bought it?

Exactly my point. These guys are getting paid to play everyday and they pretty much want to be in there everyday. There are days off built into the schedule. Yes, occasionally there are long stretches of the season where you might want to rest a couple of the starters. In that case, take DeRosa out of the SS spot and move him around a little bit and give those players the necessary rest. Lee won't be suspended and hopefully Soriano is over his leg injury. Typically, Soriano averages over 150 games a season, as does Lee. And if Lee does actually take a day off, are people honestly going to tell me that DeRosa will start at 1b over Daryle Ward? I just don't see where DeRosa gets enough at bats filling this made up "super sub" position. Lee won't be suspended, and Soriano should be over his leg injury. But something else will happen. Pie will tear his ACL ala C-Pat, Ramirez will miss significant time with a worsening back injury, Lee will break his other wrist, derosa will lose his knee ala Billy Meuller, Fukudome will cuzz out an ump in Japanese and be suspended whatever. There's nothing wrong with having too many good players, and a guy like derosa allows you to have that one extra guy who hits well with fewer AB's and does well with lots of at bats. Sign a new 2B, SS, and RF for all I care...just get good players. That said, I agree SS should be the priority.

does this mean anything?

no relation

I'm not exactly sure which thread you think this would fit well in. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45076 :lol: Nicely done. Wow, I never venture into the social forum, but that was, well, awesome.

Tampa Berets

not finished. They're at about 60% of max height It's amazing how fast that building is going up. I see this is going to be quite the circus with the sale of the team. It'd be great if the Tribune got to it already. new stadium on top of the tower? Someone on the 1st page of this thread already beat you to that joke. yeah I saw that too late

aaaahhahahahahahahahahahaha... *deep breath* hahahahahhahahahahahaha

what era would that be. "The brewers not dominating the division" era?

what he should do and what the Cubs should offer are two different things. He'd be better off in the 'pen, but if he wants to start, Hendry better make sure he knows he can do that in Chicago.
