Lovie is a f***ing dumbass....down 14 and trying a 48 yd fg into the wind.

I love Rex, but he's been disgraceful since that first drive. Hester and Maynard are worthless now, and Tillman sucks as well.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 9, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) The play calling with Turner always goes from surprising and effective to completely stale and predictable between series Everyone in the world knows Rex is best down the field over the middle, and yet, they haven't thrown one yet in that direction.

Thabo is terrible...Cavs made that big run in the 4th when he was out there making dumb decision after dumb decision. Does he have more fouls than points this season?

Sounds like Cubs are going to get him, as the Padres would rather have a surplus of mediocre pitchers than actually get future studs. I'm convinced that Hendry has incriminating evidence on some of these GMs.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 12:28 AM) Is Wood A or B? I think A....I don't think he'd ever play for the White Sox.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 12:23 AM) There is a really solid chance Cordero isn't ready for Opening Day. Not a bad gamble, but not someone you want to count on. If Jenks really was traded, I'd give SFX a call about Wood. If Jenks was traded to the Mets, you'd probably see the Sox get Feliciano back in the trade and move Thornton to the closer role with Linebrink and Dotel as the set-up men.

QUOTE (Fantl916 @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 12:02 AM) i could see a scenario where we made that Javy trade to the Mets, sent Bobby and Broadway to Tampa for Sonnanstine and Wade Davis, and rolled with Thornton as our closer. Sonnanstine is awful...he'd get destroyed pitching at the Cell.

If Jenks was on a different team and you looked at his decline in K/IP, you'd say you were skeptical he could keep it up for the next 3 seasons or so.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) If the Sox traded Jenks, I wonder if they would make a run at K-Rod or Fuentes possibly? Not a chance. They'd give Thornton a chance at closing.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) BTW, Bruce was The Show last night, and said Williams and Omar were talking at length numerous times at the meetings, FWIW. I could easily see a realistic trade of Javy and someone like Anderson for Murphy and Heilman

You don't trade Jenks for a package of prospects. The rumors from other sites is that it would be Vazquez and Jenks for Beltran. However, this seems like the longest of longshots.

QUOTE (Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) You misspelled Marson No, I was talking about getting pitching from them with Ryan Madson.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 08:03 PM) Then we need to find a taker for Anderson as well. Why can't he just be our 4th outfielder/defensive replacement?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) Stop trying to find us Outfielders! We have 4 not counting Wise and Owens! We're not trading 1 OF to keep having too many OF's! Yet we still don't have a CF. The Phillies have little with regards to young pitching besides Carrasco. Kyle Kendrick is terrible, and they're not going to trade Madson.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) With Cardenas gone, do they even have any worthy of trading Dye for? Don't they have Luke Donald? I would love to get Werth in exchange for Dye.

Please stop using Broadway as an actual piece in a trade. A Dye trade would likely be for one of the Phillies middle infield prospects.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 07:40 AM) That ugly Notre Dame guy has no reason to waive his no trade clause, no reason at all. I'm sure he would if asked to but I don't understand why. He'll waive it to be in the Padres starting rotation, as there would likely be no spot for him in the Cubs rotation this upcoming season.

Sounds like Cubs are going to get Peavy this weekend for a package of the ugly Notre Dame guy, Marshall, Pie, and Cedeno. To get one of the 10 best pitchers in baseball (signed long term) for no major pieces in your organization would be a steal.

Daniel Cabrera sucks. He has serious health concerns right now. If anything, he'd be a throw-in instead of the main piece of a trade.

The Yankees want to do this. It would be a total waste to sign Hudson to a huge deal to then move him to CF.

I'd rather have Brandon Phillips

Sorry OC, Michael Young is the Gold Glove winner at SS this season.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 04:49 AM) Did it feel good taking about a month off to not worry about the Cubs, or did you feel like something was missing in your life? It was absolutely fantastic, and even this, I'm not too worried. It's just ironic they seem linked to top-notch players, while every name we see associated with the Sox is a terrible player (Lugo, Castillo, Taveras). Hopefully this means KW is accomplishing his goal of working under the radar.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 05:34 AM) For the 2 weeks it was healthy, maybe yeah. What in the world do the Cubs have that would actually interest the Padres? Supposedly Towers has a hard-on for Felix Pie and Sean Marshall. If I'm the Padres, I don't do this trade unless Marmol or Soto is included. Hopefully this is just planted in order to get the Braves to push harder to make it happen.
