    I'd say the NFC North is.

    If my bench is empty no way do I stop the kids that have worked hard to play from having success. I do not steal but that's as far as I go. Also as IMB said, it's more embarassing when the team takes it easy because it's very hard to do it right without showing the other team up. You can work on certain aspects of the game if it's getting ridicules in soccer and let kids play different positons. I remember when I was a kid we were playing a team and winning 31-0 after 3 innings and we all turned around and hit the opposite way. I think that embarassed the other team more than the 31-0.

    Do as $elig commands or feel his wrath.

    I believe that Boy George rid the world of karma in the 80's.

    Mind you this is from a Chicago outsider. In 2003 I do not remember even hearing the Sox name and to think that Baker would be talking about the Sox at a World Series press conference would be beyond reason IMO. This ugly stepchild thing is annoying and listening to Guillen rant about the Cubs is borderline juvenile. God, enjoy the wonderful season you are having and get over the Cub penis envy. See Ozzie, you can get smallball to work if you use it right.

    OK, so I should have specified "under the current financial situation." And, under the current financial situation, I think it's clear that a few cities cannot support their teams. That's why baseball needs to modify the current system. It would be in the best interests for everyone not named the Yankees. If baseball expands into more locales, then there will be more baseball fans. It's much easier to be a fan when you can travel to a game every once in awhile. I think baseball needs to find a way to share more local revenue while insuring that the revenue shared is spent on on-the-field talent. When that does, I think there are a number of markets which could support a team and it would improve the health of a number of existing teams. there has to be a bottom line they have to spend on the team then if there is more revenue sharing. I read an article that stated the Royals, or David Glass, makes $30 million by not paying a lot for his players through the money generated by revenue sharing. I can see why Steinbrenner doesn't wanna pay for the other leagues to do nothing. Right. It's not Steinbrenners fault he bought the right franchise. These other guys knew going in that they were buying a small market team and what comes with that. I hate the NFL system.

    If you give me ARod and my choice of any 1st baseman other than Pujols and I give you Pujols and you can pick any SS other than ARod I think I would get more production.

    Look for Don Baylor's books "Bunting 1-9" or "2 Out Sac Bunting and Why it Works"

    Watch the Cubs go for sale and the guy that owns the Black Hawks buys them.
  10. CuseCubFan69
    Or the OF.
  11. CuseCubFan69
    I'm not up on what the Reds have but I thought they had a gluten of OF's and needed pitching.

    I see Hendry as going after a firm hand if Baker is fired or let go. It's not what I want but what I think is going to happen. So...Sweet Lou Bowa Leo the Lip's clone
  13. CuseCubFan69
    I read that whole thing and not once was Wilkerson mentioned. Where's Vance and what have you done with him? Wow...Bradley and Guillen...if the Black Hawks had these guys I'd say yes but I'm not sure on one team. Maybe the two attitudes would turn positive when put together. :sunny: Nice team and I like seeing Greenburg on the 25 man. I can't imagine Grieve coming back though, especially after this year.

    Putting Pierre in a corner OF spot is pure offensive poison. Pie's status is one of the biggest reasons I'm against trading anything of value for a CF, as hopefully any CF we get is just a year or two rental to keep the spot warm for Felix. I'd hate to give up anything worthwhile for that unless we get someone truly productive in return. (And Pierre isn't that someone.) I agree BK and that's what is so puzzling to me. I still see this as a reaction to the failure to get Furcal and putting the Cubs into a worse place then they already are in 2007. But...I'll wait until Hendry does his voodoo and react to what he does and not what he's rumored to do.
  15. CuseCubFan69
    I've felt for a while that this trade would creep up if the Cubs don't sign Furcal but won't this bump Pie out for 2007 unless the Cubs think Pierre will move to LF or this is a one year trade?
  16. CuseCubFan69
    I think it's catering to your audience southpaw. I would bet 100 cyber dollars that he would not say that if he went to Chicago.

    At this time of the winter, it is mainly prospects and Dominican veterans who didn't pan out in pro ball here in the states. Later in the season, a lot of MLB regulars will head down there and play for the teams. Do the kids stay when the vets come in or do they filter out? Some of each. Many American prospects will only go to winter ball for half a season. I see...thanks.

    If the Cubs don't rush him and let him develop his plate discipline before coming to Chicago. But is he even being taught plate disipline? Is this something the Cubs are even worried about?
  20. CuseCubFan69
    I say anything that gives high paying jobs to Americans is good. Can't outsource this one can they...heh..heh..heh. George Bush

    I just saw Goonys head explode.

    This is superb analysis: "Hawk suffers from the same problem Leinart does; he's so good and playing so flawlessly well, the he's not getting the credit he deserves." whaaaa? Haha that is stupid...ask Leinart how flawless he was in South Bend on Saturday. ND's defense almost made him look human - almost. How is a redshirt freshman from IU ahead of Jeff Samardzija on one man's All-American team? Even the most ardent ND haters fear Jeff. It could be because JAMES HARDY IS THE BEST 2 SPORT ATHLETE IN COLLEGE! *actually Samardiaihfoahgoihgja is a darn good baseball player. Raw is really Harry?

    You really think there's going to be a sweepstakes for Sosa's services? I wouldn't be shocked to see him go unsigned.... My guess is that he plays in Japan next year. With McGwire, like a circus act. :D
  24. CuseCubFan69
    If ARod is playing SS he wins. If he is playing 3rd I still give it to ARod by a hair. But, if the Cards do my trade you can have both.

    I don't know about that but I've always thought of superheros as uniqs (sp-no sexual organs). Eunuch. Well, that's a male who's had his surgically removed... Maybe that's really what gives them their powers. Thanks. Maybe that's why Micheal Jackson is in a Spiderman suit.
