I wonder how he is going to get to that next level....is it by adding that changeup? I hope so.

Yeah, I kind of get that uneasy feeling too and if he does decline the free agent option I'm sure it'll cost whoever he goes to big time.

Bruce said the Cubs don't see Neifi as an everyday player and project Cedeno as a starter, but the Cubs have a history of spreading disinformation. Don't forget, Hendry talked up Dubois as a potential ROY when the Cubs' actual plan was to stick Dubois with the short and greasy end of a platoon, which of course would leave him zero chance at the ROY. Simply put, Hendry shoved a steaming load of bullcrap down the public's collective throat. Stuff like that doesn't do much for the Cubs' credibility. Bruce will give us the straight dope on what he hears, but if the Cubs lie to him he will still be giving out bad info, through no fault of his own. Who are the Cubs that are saying this to Bruce....Hendry or Baker? I really doubt it's Baker that has been saying that and he is the one that fills out the lineup card. I have raised that question myself. Bruce does occasionally say "the Cubs" told him this or that. I always want to know specifically who said what, because "the Cubs" is too vague when the team has a history of giving out contradictory messages. Of course Bruce or any other reporter can't always name his sources, so we are left wondering. Just clarifying - are you now saying that, b/c Miles' sources are within the Cubs org. that nothing Miles reports to us can be believed? May be its just wishful thinking, but when Bruce said the Cubs view Neifi as a backup (and expensive one at that), I believed him. And Paul Sullivan backed that up. The only one reporting otherwise has been Kiley, to the best of my recollection. Again, who specifically are "the Cubs" who view Neifi as a backup? There is only one person who makes out the lineup cards, and his is the only opinion that counts. Until Dusty Baker goes on record saying Neifi will be a backup and Cedeno will be a regular I remain skeptical. I agree. Bruce has been wonderful and he has been such a pleasure to read on this board but he didn't mention who on the Cubs said this. If Bruce does say Baker told him this then I will be thrilled!

Somebody should go up to Hendry and kiss him on the lips and say: "I know it was you Hendry...you broke my heart." Then offer to take Hendry and Baker fishing in Nevada.

Ask and you shall receive. ;) Floyd can hit and he's a heck of a barber...what's not to like! I wonder what kind of package the Mets could give the Cubs for Prior?

Good. Now the Cubs can trade Prior to the Mets for Floyd!

"Hands of stone...like his mother, the other one in curls." That was a TD.

This year when Villinova does it unless the refs decide to take another game away from them. :D

True and they will be pretty tough in the Big 10 too. Check the RPI, baby! You guys don't have the good ole boys to protect you like you do in football....basketball actually has a playoff. We very well may have the entire Final Four this year! Last year with the "down" B10 accounting for half the Final Four and 3 of the Elite 8. The tourney is where we shine. So how many Championships has the Big 10 won in the last 10 or 15 years? One decent year and you guys get a big head! Michigan State went to the final 4 three years in a row and wont the whole damn thing in what '00 or '01. IU has gone to the finals. Illini has gone to the finals. Thats three teams in the last 6 years goin to the finals. Wisky to the final four in the same period. While the Big East has had 3 teams WIN in 6 years.

I'm pretty sure the Big 10 has the most appearances in the Final 4 of any conference. And 1 title. You have to finish my man to be the King! Kneel before the great Big East Slaves!!!!

Or the Pirates and Royals have made the best offers. :-&

LaVar graduated from Penn State! Did he? Oh, well in that case... I hate it when they inteview people that don't know how to speak. I remember MNF went to his home and he had a chess room. No joke! Are you serious? Wow. Yep. All of the chess pieces were about 5 or 6 feet tall. He probably thought they were toy soldiers.

Better than Washington? I don't think so. 120 yards of offense? Thats terrible. simms lost the game with turnovers. Where was that last ball deflected? I didn't see it and I had a phone call when it happened.

I mised this post. I mentioned that in my post and I felt the same...he's a punk.

I've never liked Arrington since he knocked down the Pitt punter on punt returns when the play wasn't even near them. He did it 3 or 4 times, what a tough guy he is.

No penalty and that's a first down.

doesn't matter since its still 1st down. True but still it's not smart football. Add to that they now have 15 yards to rush for a firstdown.

Good idea to stop the clock with a penalty Redskins....wow.

Die.

I thought he had two steps with the ball and then juggled it.

That's a TD.
