QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 05:51 AM) or he could have traded Garland for some good prospects. Then you got to throw that deal into the discussion as well.

What was KW to do to get Cabrera? Maybe blame him years ago, because it would take a few years to build our Minors to match Det's offer.

If true, I'm guessing Bill Hall is not involved, just because he would have been mentioned in the article, seeing how he is an established talent.

Well, the Gil Meche deal looks like it will work out OK for the amount of criticism they took. But this? I can't possibly see this ending well. 36 million for him? Really, KC? Fitting he signs this the day it is announced that the Mitchell Report will be out next week.

Has there been an update on our own announcement mentioned back on page 10?

This is so disheartening. Unless half of the Tigers show up in the Mitchell report, I feel like we have already lost. We can no longer be buyers, no way. And hell, it will hard to even be sellers. The Tigers not only have talent, they have young talent.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 12:05 AM) Kenny is very crafty. When the Marlins accept, we will point out that we have no Geo Gonzalez, nor any rh John Danks. Cabrera for Fields, baby! Well, he did learn from Berry/Barry.

We've been hearing the Cabrera to Tigers reports all day and they have yet to happen.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 11:55 PM) Any chance that it could be Crede and another prospect instead of Fields??? If they are trading Cabrera, I don't see a reason they need Crede.

Our entire minor league system doesn't have an equal return for Cabrera. If he pulled this off, he's officially a man god.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 10:00 PM) I read (can't remember where, now) yesterday Rowand was looking for 5 years and $60 million. There was a report out that some team "not believed to be the White Sox" offered Rowand a 5 year deal. Since there were no further specifics, my personal opinion is that Camp Rowand put it out there.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 05:25 AM) Yea...that is really really tough. If you don't mind me asking what's your GPA and ACT? 29 and a 4.1. Our scale grants a whole extra point for honors classes, but technically it's still out of 4.0.

I'm lost as to what to put on my list. All I got is the Simpson's Blu-Ray.

I'm going into Business, which I'm really iffy for for UofI. So needless to say, I'm very nervous about getting in. I f I do though, I'm pretty sure I'm going there with an outside chance of Loyola.

Um...Al Snow!? LOL

Damn fine main event here.

Trish, Bischoff, Hogan, Austin, and Mick Foley will be at next week's Raw.

LOL at Jannetty, Razor, and Diesel.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 12:59 AM) I'm s***ting my pants in anticipation of the U of I notification day. December 14th. Ahhhhhh Me too. What did you apply into?

So I've narrowed it down to: Illinois Wsiconsin Loyola Marquette

Hey, at least Illinois won down the stretch when it mattered, unlike pretty much every other team in the country. Missouri, deserving or not, had their chances to 100% secure a BCS bowl, so I have absolutely no sympathy for them being left out, and if they were in, I'd be saying the same thing about the next team left out.

I hope KU and UofI win. That is all.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 03:27 AM) The orange chose kansas first out of the open spots, i know they had first pick followed by Fiesta. I think we were in more demand than I thought. If what I heard is right, Rose had first pick and took Illinois. Sugar had second followed by the Orange then Fiesta.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 02:33 AM) Illinois vs Usc in Pasadena? Um? Thats not exactly neutral lol. Illinois is a very young team and if your gonna beat USC and their #2 Def, your gonna have to do it in the air which Juice has been ok with this year but inconsistent. I meant if Mizzou played Illinois.

Illinois is too athletic to get destroyed by anyone. And they are a better team than Mizzou is right now, they may not have been week 1, but I would certianly think they win on neutral turf today.
