    Sig material, for sure.

    God love Matt Murton. That is all.

    So let me get this straight. Arod saves a little boy, and Nomar saves two drowning women. Where, exactly, is Jeter? He is so NOT clutch.

    I appreciate the perspective from "the dark side". The mods here do a great job of eliminating any trolling, and the Cards, Astros, and Tribe fans here are mostly positive contributors. Not all "other" fans are trolls, and not all Cub fans are all that interesting. Spice of life, ya know?

    1. This may be the best reason given yet. 2. It's funny that we're comparing Furcal with Walker (because of various trade ideas, I know). Certainly from a value/$$$ perspective, there's not a huge difference, but I know this: Furcal is a damn site better than Neifi. 3. It seems like Walker is as good as gone, from various quotes. I'd bet (a small amount) we end up with something like Cedeno/Soriano MI, and Lofton in CF for a year. If Hoops' senario comes true, insert Wilkerson for Lofton. I'd love to have Livan, as he's the anti-Cub starter who goes deep into games and eats innings. 4. Does this still leave money for B. Giles???

    I think Burnitz, Nomar, Patterson, Neifi, and Walker are all gone. I seem to recall a quote from Dusty recently to the effect of "Walker was mostly an offensive second baseman". (paraphrasing, but the past tense was definitely there) Not a good sign for Walker sticking around. I think the middle infield and CF are very much dependent on one another. If Furcal is signed, I'd imagine a combo of Cedeno/ Hairston at 2B, putting the onus on Hendry to find a CF with a little power, ie. Vernon Wells, Ken Griffey, etc. The same is true if Luis Castillo is somehow brought in. If Nomar is resigned, or if (how unlikely?) M. Giles is to be had, then we might just see Lofton out there until Pie is ready. So the lineups could look something like this: Castillo/Furcal Murton Lee Ramirez B. Giles Wells/Cameron/Griffey/??? Barrett Cedeno Or... Lofton M. Giles Lee B. Giles Ramirez Garciaparra Murton Barrett Is Brian Giles really all that likely? Is there a snowball's chance in ___ of getting one of those CF, or seeing Murton and Cedeno in the same lineup outside of September? It's great that Hendry has the money to make something happen this year, but it should be real interesting to see if he can do it. I like the 2nd lineup a whole lot better, but I think it would take a miracle to put together.

    Mazzone is hilarious: "That ball left Andruw's bat, traveled about 450 feet, and the next contact it made was with my freakin' head."

    Clearly, Dontrelle should win it, giving this thread it's truly appropriate closure.

    DJAXX- Nice hard hitting journalism! :wink: Dopey, huh? It sounds like Brian is really enjoying the experience of professional baseball, and seems like a great teammate. Thanks for all of your hard work to make this site as great as it is.

    Larry Walker??? I think this may have been Stone's first Cubs game as an ESPN guy, and man, was he on the money.
  11. SeldomSeen
    Indeed. ;)

    It's funny how you and your smartass commentaries seem to vanish whenever Houston takes a fall. As opposed to the smartasses who are here regularly??? I think he was making a joke. ;)

    I doubt that Hairston is going to Washington, but I did hear that Michael Jordan was buying a ballpark.

    Obviously, you're not a golfer.

    I agree and I'll say it again: If the Reds trade Dunn, they'll be lucky to draw 1.2 million this year. He is really their only draw. I think he is the franchise. They're not exactly drawing anyway. They will retire Sparky Anderson's number 10 on Saturday, and it is far from a sellout as of the 5th inning tonight.

    and amazingily enough the Cubs have scored 7 runs by the 3rd inning. Lets try to make sure that the moves are poor before we discount them Hindsight is 20-20. Benching A-Ram, Barrett, and Nomar for Prior's first start is a really bad way to build his confidence, in my opinion. Waiting to see how it turned out isn't exactly fair, is it? This is like when Dusty would do something stupid in 2003, have it work out, and Chip Caray would say, "Dusty pushes the right button again!" Those drinking birds can push buttons, too. Yet we use hindsight all throughout this thread to take issue with Dusty's decisions. totally wrong. Dusty bashers complain about what dusty is doing when they get out of bed in the morning. dusty supporters wait until neifi gets a hit to say anything here. Took care of that for ya. :D
