    Anything more than a low level prospect was too much. I now think this was a not so great deal. The Soc had Massett projected in their future rotation a few weeks back. I guess with the addition of Clayton Richard, Massett became expendable. I gotta believe KW makes another move.

    Then we would have to send a Jason Bay like player to the BoSox... Unless there were a third team involved with a Bay type player and we sent prospects to the third team involved.

    But if they're giving up a nothing prospect, then it's not worse. I agree with his fielding. There's problems if he's pratrolling CF on a regular basis.

    I'll qualify my statement by saying it depends what the Sox give up and if other deals hinge on this trade (ie.- PK or Swish being traded), but, I think this move is similar to the Cubs getting Edmonds. It's a low risk, high reward. Griffey is not the player he was, he's old, prone to injury, the bat has slowed, he's not a great fielder and he hasn'r had a great year at the plate. But he could get hot for a stretch, he's a veteran and as far as a contract, he will cost the Sox very little (and nothing next year). It's not like he has to hit much to equal or better the production of Konerko or Swisher. The biggest liability is that he'll most likely have to play CF (assuming JT or PK aren't dealt) and I just don't know that he can do that on a regular basis. I don't see this as horrible.

    Easy bunt single to the left side Tongue in cheek, but it really is amazing he continues to find holes in the right side.

    Just watching the highlights: Why don't teams put the "jim Thome Shift" on every time Theriot is up to bat. Seriously.....put all 7 position players on the right side of second base.

    Dan Plesac is just plain funny!! :lol:
  8. PackLandVA
    Partially correct!

    This why Lou is so tempted to go to the regulars. No consistency from the BP often.
  10. PackLandVA
    pitch count for Ryan????
  11. PackLandVA
    He won't be here next year so that's not an issue. you're so sure that Hendry won't be duped into a 4 year deal based on this season? i'd rather make a run at one of the brewers' aces. Imagine Z Sabathia/Sheets Harden Sheets and Harden could be the Prior and Wood DL redux So true. Pass on Sheets, please.

    I've got the Sox game on. Does anyone complain more about the umpires more than the Hawkeroo. He's just a mean old man. It's borderline comedy. Let's get to Parra this inning. The Cubs have made it too easy for him.
  13. PackLandVA
    Lou doesn't like to hit n run much, does he?
  14. PackLandVA
    Hyper negative / hyper critical That's what a lot of these game threads are. Sheesh!
  15. PackLandVA
    And unfortunately, the Cubs have sucked on the road this season.
  16. PackLandVA
    I would imagine they've sold A LOT of their tickets to THEIR fans since they've been playing well. Doubt it will be Wrigley North this time around.

    According to the scroll on ESPNews, Hanley Ramirez says he would be open to being traded from the Marlins. Dare we give them more arms to go with Mitre and Pinto?
  18. PackLandVA
    I agree with your assessment of Ward. I like him, but has little value other than one AB/game. He's not a decent fielder, can't really play 1B and has no wheels. Edmonds and/or Fontenot could be the lefty off the bench if it means getting a player that can upgrade the team.
  19. PackLandVA
    Never understood the love for this guy. Great glove, poor bat, big contract given the production (or lack of).
  20. PackLandVA
    Where are the lefties??
  21. PackLandVA
    If I'm with a youngster, I always sit with me between home plate and the kid. It at least makes me feel like I can get between the ball and the child if necessary.
  22. PackLandVA
    Didn't Teixiera play a little OF in his career? Don't know the Cubs have the payroll to do it, but if Kosuke ever agreed to play CF, could Tex play RF. Or DeRosa in RF, Tex in LF and Fonzie at 2B. I'd love the Cubs to get a lefthanded power/AVG bat in the lineup regularly.

    Try going to: http://www.TimesFour.com It's mostly a Packers site, but it also has forums for all things Wisconsin. I read the Brewers forum regularly. They have some pretty decent posters there.

    This bears quoting for it's truthiness. Not just a moron, but a moron with an axe to grind. Dangerous combination. As much as I find Stone a "Cub Basher" (as of late), I think he really has it out for Hendry. He rarely gives the guy credit for anything but continues to point out bad contracts (actual or presumed), bad trades and general ineptness. I would love for Stone to become a GM/Manager so he could be second-guessed as much as he does the second-guessing. No micrphone to hide behind.

    I actually think Wood did the job after walking the first batter. He had Molina struck out, but didn't get the call. That non-call changed the whole inning. Does he have to battle through it....sure. And he almost did. He hasn't blown a save and the Cubs haven't lost a game he's pitched in since may 24. Closer give one away once in awhile. Everybody....come off the ledge!
