    And in 2005, he had a .559 OPS against with a near 4:1 K/BB ratio against lefties and failed to give up a home run. His three year averages are very strong. He may have worn down last year because of overuse, but his post ASB was very out of character with what the previous 1.5 seasons had been.

    Or you just miss the obvious potential Eyre deal. I don't think Hendry would add a third LH arm for no reason. It doesn't make sense to me to trade for Cotts to be your LH set-up man. That's what I'm saying. If another team has a woody for Cotts, then it makes sense to trade 2 pitchers for him. I just don't see the point in acquiring Cotts as the guy you will fall back on once dealing Eyre (which I'm in favor of). I don't think he'll be a LH set up man. As is (assuming Eyre is dealt), your top three arms in the pen will all be RH. I think Cotts will be used to get out tough lefties along with Ohman. I don't know if there's a role on this team for a LH set up man given how much the three righties are making.

And are we running a 7 man pen again this year!? Cotts Eyre (as of now, I'm almost certain he's gone) Ohman Wuertz Howry Wood Dempster

    Cotts' best year is far better than Eyre's best season. And he's only 26.

    I have no problem with this move at all. It HAS to be a precursor to Eyre for Westbrook :D

    Deal pending right now: Dirk and Mehmet for Allen and Rashard. I love getting an awesome center. Steep price though.

    I think some of the speculation on here is probably right on that Hendry is trying to drive up value on Izturis to move him, then take Lugo and put him at SS with Soriano in CF. Whether or not Hendry can actually get that done is anybody's guess. I could totally live with Soriano and Lugo if it means getting rid of Izturis.

    Sigh

    What's worse: having no money to waste or having a ton of money to waste?

    I bet a 4/40 contract is on tap for Gary Matthews Jr.

    Ben and PJ for Ray Allen Ben, Nocioni, PJ, and a future first for Zach Randolph and Brandon Roy.

    I'm really happy Z didn't win the Cy Young; it would have driven his price up even more so than it already is.

    If he's gonna deal with Washington, I'd rather have Felipe Lopez than Vidro.

    Barrett and Izturis for Wells would be A-Ok for me. Now see if Cincy would bite on Eyre for Freel given their mediocre, veteran reliever fetish.

    Tom Coughlin sure took his stupid pills today. What a moron.

    Ed Hochuli is awesome. He's never unsure of himself. Sure he's wrong sometimes, but his decisiveness is a breath of fresh air.

    I hear Steve Buechelle was busting out his cleats the other day.

    I personally think the board should go away from its "family friendly" parameters this evening to emphasize how truly pissed we are at this. We shouldn't be tamed in a time where things appear to be their bleakest.

    Nothing there to kick. To quote an old guy I once hung out with, "just a mud flap for his p*$$y". :lol: It is getting Rouncy in here tonight. At least for today mr. Disgruntled Cubs Fan, we can ALL be as Disgruntled as you. For that, I am saddened. Go Cubs (in 2106)

    I'll toss in fifty cents.

    Question for Bruce (an addendum): Do you hate the Cubs as much as we do right now? Lots of angst and venom, all of it deserved.
  22. Mark_R
    **** da Cubs. Go bulls.

    What part of Miami and Kansas St do you think is in the the MAC....really? Those are teams Louisville played. Ohio State doesn't even have to play Wisconsin...that's a joke. Syracuse which hasn't won a Big East game in 2 years went to OT with Iowa and beat Illinois. Rutgers beat Illinois 33-0 while THE Ohio State beats them 17-10? Try looking at facts or does that scare you? If you really think the Big East has any team better than Ohio State, than its really not worth discussing. Your bias is far too strong for any objectivity here. ETA: getting rid of the ridiculous number of people quoted...

    I still haven't seen anyone's perspective on a threshold for Aramis' money. At what point do you concede that he's too much per season?
  25. Mark_R
    maybe they'll hire dusty instead.
