  1. If you sign Nomar, and I think they should, you have to make it incentive laden based on PA. If he goes down you go with Cedeno and you have questionable production on the cheap, which means you have major cash for the trading deadline. If Nomar stays healthy you pay a little more for (hopefully) much more production. If he doesn't go for the incentive laeden deal, you look at Furcal. I'll get staned for this, but the problem this year hasn't been offense, it been pitching. You spend your money on starting pitching and maybe a closer. Prior, Z, Burnett, Millwood, & Maddux You bank on Wood back by may, and he replaces whichever starting pitcher is on the DL at that point....... :wink:
  2. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The reason he pees on his hand is to heal blisters. It's the roids in the urine that heal the blisters. Stay away from Alou!
  3. You're right about that outfield lacking power. At least one of the corner outfielders needs some. Not a lot of options though. And counting on Murton is a BIG "if"
  4. Tree had 78 pitches. :?: All 3 pitchers combined for 89 pitches. :shock: Yes, but he doesn't have a title in his name like me and the good Doctor. Perhaps if he was Senator Treebeard or Reverend Treebeard he would get the recognition.
  5. Wow again. Sorry, Officer. Wasn't meant to be rude or degrading to RynoRules, and is he (she?) took it that way, my apologies. But there's not a GM in any league, major leagues to fantasy leagues, who would make that trade. Just you, indeed. Not policing just defending. Back to the point: This isn't a gm we're talking about, its Steinbrenner. A healthy wood would look good to the yanks. Wood, Dope, Rusch, and the chance to sign Nomar might look good to Georgie boy. But if Wood and Nomar are healthy, I'd rather keep them and save the dough.
  6. I'm still for signing that elephant. or jennie finch
  7. Wow. If Hendry ever pants'd another GM that bad, they'd immediately start work on his plaque in the GM wing of the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, he'd have to retire, since no other team would ever make a trade with him again. Way. Off. Base. and not amusing. :scratch: Am I missing something here? Its just that while I don't think a healthy Wood and Dope gets you A-rod, I also don't think the suggestion was preposterous. Nor do I think that it would get Hendry into the hall of fame. That it would make Hendry look evil or make GM's beware of him is also something that I firmly do not think. Add to the list of things I fail to believe the idea that "nobody's" post was humorous or his degradation of another poster's idea was acceptable. In summary, I found the post "way off base, and not amusing" ...just me, I suppose.
  8. Must.....be......optimistic......ahhhhhh Maddux goes 8 innings tonight. 92 pitches, 51 for strikes.
  9. You know what? DON"T win. See if I care. :evil:
  10. i was wondering why lawton was standing in - i'd never seen that before. I saw macias stand in while Maddux was warming up at a Cubs/Reds game. ITs not uncommon.

  12. if you can't be good with the ladies...
  13. Of all the stats I've ever read, that's by far the most conclusive helping me work out today's result. 8) Here..... this one is much more relevant and has far better predictive ability with respect to the winner of tonight's contest..... CUBS are 0-2 on days when Hornkohl gets married.... 9,813-9,267 when he doesn't. Go CUBS !!! Lmao, Go cubs Are the Cubs REALLY above .500 over the last 19,082 games?
  14. I'd guess about 2M. Possibly 3M, but not likely. And of course he won't get any more multi-year offers. In that case, I really think the Royals should offer him 2.5 for a year ... Their attendance is down and nobody in the state of Kansas cares about the team much any more. I might make the trip to the stadium if Sosa were playing. Sure, he isn't even a shell of what he once was, but I'd love to see my first Sosa homer live. I think he'd get 5+ from an AL team.
  15. This from the cubs.com article on Wellemeyer.
  16. I'm fast :lol: :lol: :lol: keep it up...we're winning. BTW, most Cubs fans are very superstitious about these things. Perhaps we'll bring you on as our official lineups guy if we win today. How 'bout it mods?
  17. didin't a cards fan post the official line-ups last game too? What's up?
  18. That just might be the best lineup we've put out this year. That's because dusty's been resting the good players all year. Now that the games are important, he puts out the best lineup. :roll:
  19. Curse you for making me think positive! i know. they are sucking me back in again. i cannot kick myself of this habit! May the fleas of a thousand camel infest your armpits for eternity. Thanks, Klinger. I'm assuming that's a "MASH" referece. A little before my time. I actually learned that curse on a study abroad trip in the middle east.
  20. He was on today. 0fer4 with a K.
  21. Curse you for making me think positive! i know. they are sucking me back in again. i cannot kick myself of this habit! May the fleas of a thousand camel infest your armpits for eternity.
  22. I have the blues brothers version of "Sweet home Chicago" in my radio now.
  23. Curse you for making me think positive!
