    It is rivalry week? Who is ND playing? Oh, Cuse. I don't think it is rivalry week then. ND and their fans determines who are rivals. Of course, if they determine that Cuse is a rival then, rivalry week is back on. It used to be a pretty big one....or at least a controversal one. We had ND beat in the 50 or 60's and the officials called a mysterious roughing the kicker call on one of our guys after a ND missed kick. They rekicked and made it and we lost. Add to that 2 undeserving ND Players that won Heismans over more deserving Syracuse players and maybe they would have had one. We're going in the right direction but it'll be awhile. After Pasqualoni recruited gems that would have otherwise went to football powers Northeastern or Hofstra we have a very empty cupboard. Oh yeah, we have a guy that was a second string QB in CANADA that he gave a scholarship to. At least we crushed ND a couple of years ago.

    Just 3 touchdowns? Watching our offense is like Baker puting Macias and Perez at the top of the order for a whole season. We have an average TB and TE and the rest of the offense is far below average. You guys should win 45-0 without breaking much of a sweat.

    Who are they selling the team to.... the ghost man at third?

    I'm still going to give Mr. Hendry a chance to prove himself before crucifying him. He has time to get the players the Cubs need and I'm not going to let "You gotta catch em all" bother me....for now.

    Was Nomar a choice in this poll? No, just those listed were (damon, furcal, burnett, giles, jones, millwood). Thanks. I don't think that Hendry pays attention to polls like that...I would hope.

    Keep him in the picture to keep Furcal to lower his price.

    We can dream!

    Dusty for Milton Bradley, anybody? Grady Little is still in the organization, isn't he? I thought I heard Little signed with someone to be a bench coach.
  10. CuseCubFan69
    Hey Dusty...the LA job is still open.

    OO--It is no secret, and has been discussed in the press at length, that Dunn is unhappy in Cincinnati. He and Kearns have not had the right "organizational attitude", sound familiar? No one denies Dunn's talent and production, but given that he is a square peg in a round hole for them, and the money he is due, and the money they have tied up in Junior, Casey and Milton, he can be had. Funny thing is, Casey is the guy that should go, freeing up 1B for Dunn. But Casey is Cincinnati's Jeff Bagwell, the fan base LOVES Sean Casey. And to his credit, he's hardly a bad ballplayer, he's just not worth anything near what he gets paid. Anyway, on topic: in the right situation, the Reds will move Dunn or Kearns, or both. They are ready to move on, and at this point, seeing the resurgence of Milwaukee in particular, I think they are finally resigned to addressing their horrible, horrible pitching. They must recognize that moving Dunn is the quickest way to start addressing that problem. Not only their quickest but their best way to address their pitching woes.

    I think it was a joke. Flew over my head...I get it now thanks.

    They've already mentioned the Yankees. What more would they need to pump up the price? Plus, their are personal relationships and integrity and trust issues involved. If Bick said he was contacted by some team when he wasn't, it would damage his credibility with that team's GM. But why would we doubt this report in the first place? Giles is a perfect fit for what the Cubs are looking for, it is a forgone conclusion that Hendry will have at least contacted Bick about Giles. To get the Yanks to pay more. I would like the Cubs to get Giles don't get me wrong but he just does not seem to be a player that Hendry would spend a lot of money on.
  14. CuseCubFan69
    Imagine how many posters that would have to change their names?
  15. CuseCubFan69
    Is it possible that they are just mentioning the Cubs to get the others to up the ante? Other teams know the Cubs have money to spend and having them involved would help their client get a better deal IMO.

    So it's decided then. Pie will be a star if he's traded but flop if he remains a Cub.
  17. CuseCubFan69
    I'll take the first option everyday and twice on Sundays. What if Lugo cost the Cubs Pie? Then the Devil Rays will keep BJ Upton in the minors for another year because no one would trade for Lugo at that cost. He will cost some team some talent Raisin, maybe not Pie talent but some pretty decent talent.
  18. CuseCubFan69
    I was thinking his high school numbers would be nice but 2003 would be ok. :D
  19. CuseCubFan69
    Does Pie have a strong arm? If so he sounds a lot like Vlad.
  20. CuseCubFan69
    That was my biggest head scratcher of the 2005 pre season trades.
  21. CuseCubFan69
    That's great news!!! Now let's trade him.....just kidding.
  22. CuseCubFan69
    A lot of you like playing the computer games so let me know if any of you can hook up a season with the same pitchers on both teams and put these players or the like against each other: Irchiro and Gwynn type hitters with a high average but swing at a lot of pitches thus having a relatively low OBP compared to average while playing very good defense vs Dunn and other hitters that have high power high OBP but a low batting average and below average defense. I'm curious who would win this.
  23. CuseCubFan69
    Taking their best years into consideration, I'd give the edge to Gwynn. To be honest this was close for me and what decided it was baserunning.
  24. CuseCubFan69
    Would you all trade Z and Hill for Dunn, Freel and Kearns?
  25. CuseCubFan69
    What I find promising is his slugging percentage. If he can improve his plate discipline, with his speed and power, he will be very good. I forgot the comparisions between Pie and CPatt. I thought that at the same age Pie was pretty far ahead of Patterson or was I wrong?
