  1. Apparently, Soriano passed his physical, he likes Chicago, negotiations went quickly, he hasn't spoken to Aramis yet who is flying up tomorrow for his press conference, and - oh yeah - sources tell Paul Sullivan that the Cubs may put Soriano in right and swap Jock to center. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-061120cubssoriano,1,288880.story?coll=cs-home-headlines The Cubs are in talks with Cliff Floyd, the nature of which Sullivan describes as 'heated'. Presumably, he'll platoon with Murton. Not sure if I am crazy about that idea.
  2. I'm kind of surpised by this, I thought Pujols would win it for sure, but I guess that crack cocaine smuggling conviction might have swayed a few voters. * Yeah, I know, different Pujols; guilt by association.
  3. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061120&content_id=1743702&vkey=hotstove2006&fext=.jsp&partnered=rss_mlb Teams have until Friday to make bids. Are the Cubs going to get in on this action? Article says that they, along with the Mariners Indians, Braves, Diamondbacks, Yankees, Mets, Padres, Giants, Angels and Dodgers, have shown interest.
  4. Goober thinks the Soriano signing reinforces the Cubs for sale rumors.
  5. Sullivan thinks the Cubs can sign Jason Schmidt.
  6. Speak of the devil, Paul Sullivan on WGN radio right now.
  7. I get the feeling Murton is going to get shipped to Cleveland in a Westbrook trade
  8. They were talking like they are still going to get a centerfielder.
  9. Edit: Says he plans to bat Soriano lead-off. anything else of interest? Talking about DeRosa's versatility. Says they now need to address pitching. It seems they plan on playing Soriano at one of the corners. Hmmm.
  10. Edit: Says he plans to bat Soriano lead-off.
  11. Lou Piniella on WGN Radio right now.
  12. It's on the internet, it must be true.
  13. Kaplan on WGN Radio once again mentioning option years.
  14. Paul Sullivan says 8/136*. The Cubs plan to put him in CF. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-061119cubssoriano,1,6514808.story?coll=cs-cubs-headlines *pending physical
  15. Say what you want , but I'll take this Bad Rex over the Miami/Arizona version of Bad Rex.
  16. With one catch, the Bears quadruple their total passing yards.
  17. Rosenthal only said that the 8/135 figure was what Soriano was seeking, not necessarily what he is going to get. I refuse to believe that he'll get 8 years, which doesn't mean Hendry won't pay through the nose. I would have felt comfortable giving this type of contract to Vlad Guerrero a couple of years ago, but Soriano at age 30?...no way.
  18. Creative playcalling right there. :roll:
  19. LOVIE IS TEH MASTER OF THE CHALLENGE FLAG!!!!11!!!
  20. Uh oh, Donovan McNabb carted off the field in the Eagles game.
  21. Gonzalez isn't an above average defender. spare me your frar crap and all those bush league stats that i dont care to look up. Gonzalez is a winner. Who cares about his ISOD i care about his HEART. But is he VERSATILE?
  22. The same guy who uploaded this, also uploaded Chicago Bear/Chicago Cardinal footage taken from Wrigley and Comiskey in 1929... ...as well as 1929 Chicago Blackhawk footage... Get a whiff of the past.
  23. The grandstand looks exactly the same, right down to the ramps to the upper deck. Got to love the crowd too, everybody in hats and overcoats. Great stuff.
