  1. The overreactions really are quite entertaining. Still though, this is a stupid move. I don't see the point in it.
  2. Sounds good here. Perhaps it's your local station? Oh really? Yeah, it must be. It's been staticy, if that's a word, for the past few innings. I can't even make out what the announcers are saying.
  3. I wonder if Fox is aware that their audio is all fockered up.
  4. My TV Guide says I'll be getting this game, but I'll be shocked if that's true.
  5. An expensive guy that dominated last year vs. a cheap rookie that's never pitched a game in the big leagues? If I'm running a team with a 100M+ payroll, I don't want a bunch of kids who have never pitched in the big leagues before being relied upon to pitch in tight situations. And it's not like Eyre was only good for one year prior to joining the Cubs, let's keep the facts straight here. But with all that said, I'm all for dumping the guy now.
  6. I did. You don't give a large three-year contract to a guy coming off a year that's clearly out of line with his past: WHIP 2000: 2.16 2001: 1.40 2002: 1.55 2003: 1.51 2004: 1.33 2005: 1.08 __________ 2006: 1.48 2007: 2.17 Now really, what in those six years above the line, aside from 2005, says "give this guy a big three-year contract." I don't see anything. Our bullpen in the years prior to his signing was horrible. ...because the cubs gave a bunch of money to other middle relievers coming off good seasons. man, have you even watched the last four seasons of cubs baseball? every middle reliever the cubs have given big money to have been tremendous disasters...i guess hendry isn't the only one who doesn't learn. Well yeah, in retrospect it was a bad decision but one that I supported at the time. And I'm not going to act like I was all up in arms about it at the time, cause I wasn't. I was pretty pissed that he gave him a NTC though. And no, I haven't watched the last four seasons. Not one game. :roll:
  7. I did.

I don't see anything. Our bullpen in the years prior to his signing was horrible. I would rather overpay a guy who had a great, great year than have a pen full of league minimum making rookies.
  8. I didn't really have a problem with the years and dollars at the time, but the NTC was absurd. You don't give relief pitchers a freakin no trade clause.
  9. Meph... your avatar... who is that? Some girl that's in high school.
  10. OK. They can stop scoring now. I have Suppan on a few fantasy teams. Fantasy?!?! Who gives a crap about fantasy. Support your real team. I couldn't agree more.
  11. no she's some high school girl from california Wow, how creepy can some people get. For the record, I wouldn't do this trade. We don't need to dump Jones for a prospect and have Pie man CF for the rest of the year. If we want to win this year, Jones needs to be in CF over Pie.
  12. And what I'm saying is the "get him over" aspect is vastly overrated and doesn't compare in importance to getting them on. In what world is getting runners over, or in other words moving them around the basepaths, vastly overrated?
  13. Obviously I hope I'm wrong here, but I have a feeling that Marquis is going to get lit up tomorrow.
  14. So he's just sitting around not doing anything at this point? Awesome.
  15. No, lets not forget it. He wasn't pitching fantastic. They had at least one base runner each inning. That isn't fantastic. Take off the Rich Hill blinders. He pitched like poop today. Please tell me you were actually watching the game, and not following on gameday. He has thrown ONE bad pitch. ONE. And I hat to be the first to point this out to you, but allowing one baserunner per inning is excellent. Allowing 5 runs in 6 innings, however, is not.
  16. Love the idea. Everyone in my office left early yesterday to play a game of football... I was definitely rocking the Cubs t-shirt. I wish I would've had a Marquis shirt to wear.
  17. I don't know if Baltimore would, but I'd do that deal in a second.
  18. Good move. I hope Pie's departure doesn't make Soriano so sad that he starts slumping again.
  19. At this point, I think that we should trade him. I love his passion, but he's not as great as people think he is. He's going to be ridiculously overpaid, may as well let some other team do it.
  20. Jacque [expletive] Jones against a lefty with the bases loaded. Brilliant. Is Marquis going to start the 9th?
