As long as they dont hit the trifecta like they wanted, and get Burnett and Lowe as well, Im not as worried

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) What? I was talking about the omnipotent being, God. Not Quentin. It was funny in my little world QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) TCQ is a perfectly fine short way of saying Carlos Quentin. Can we stop using "God" before something bad happens. It reminds me of the "UNSINKABLE" Titanic. Which is why I made the joke

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) ??? Close and late last year he had an OPS of 1.205. He was a healthy wrist away from being able to replace Andy Pettitte's "Oh My God" in my mind with another image. I wasnt talking about Quentin, lol

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) How about a Healthy Contreras? I think healthy Linebrink, Contreras, God might have done it. Even as a 4th starter down the stretch, Contreras would probably have shown some bigger cojones than Vazquez, and that would have given us so much more flexibility to dump Richard in to games that Vazquez started early, etc. I dont know about God. In close to late situations he is horrible

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) and at this rate, we wont sniff a playoff game for at least 5 years. I am not sayig its cubs v sox, but look waht they are doing up there and look what we are unloading down here. Chicken little, let it play out. Last year it was the same crap "Oh here comes 4th place everyone! Look at what Kenny is or isnt doing!" Just let it play out. It is the second WEEK of december, and the second DAY of the winter meetings

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 12:52 PM) Hanson is off limits. If he was available, Jake Peavy would be a Brave already. My guess is we're after one of these 3 players at least as part of a deal; Gregor Blanco (leadoff CF) Charlie Morton Jo-Jo Reyes I thought a big part of the deal falling apart was because Peavy didnt want Escobar going to the Pads in the return?

I wonder if Dye asked Kenny to send him somewhere other than Cincy

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) Bradley is the kind of guy this team sheds in a hurry. Maybe he's mellowed, but I doubt it. He isnt mellowed. He just isnt as quick to put his hands around your neck after blowing out both of his knees two years ago

Casey Blake and Mark Loretta to the Dodgers http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3756550

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 11:58 AM) When the sox cut back, they cut back. They are trading all their talent for prospects, and will sign fringe Free Agents. The worst part is they are still raising ticket prices, its like pre World Series decisions all over again. feeling a little WSF101 today, huh?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 11:19 AM) The guy put up an OBP of .436 and A SLG of .563., in a ballpark similar to the Cell, while being almost without incident last year. Clearly, he needs a strong support staff with him in Chicago, but I don’t think that would be a problem. He and Swish are different animals. why do you keep saying "almost without incident" as if thats a good thing? The guy has bigtime anger issues, and he isnt worth all of this "strong support staff" insulation from being an out of control maniac.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 11:08 AM) If former "clubhouse cancer" Pierzynski ended up being one of the all-time favorite players among Sox fans, then the same could happen with Milton Bradley. I think Bradley's controversy is more comparable to AJ rather than... say, OC. AJ never had any of the anger problems that Bradley has had. Not even close

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 09:04 AM) I wasn't comparing them statistically - more the idea of signing an outfielder with some injury issues, who is older but not OLD yet. Seems like a Kenny-type move to me. I could be wrong of course. Just seems like the type of guy Kenny would target. Being that Kotsay is a Sox killer, I completely agree with that

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) I don't know the exact nature, but last year yes, that was an issue. I thought he was fine the year before though, and his numbers last year were still pretty decent with ATL. Seems like a Dye-esque signing to me, in some ways, when we originally acquired him. I disagree. Dye broke his leg in a freak accident, but he was pretty consistent in games played outside of the year after he broke his leg, Kotsay has been missing 30 games or more for the past 3 years Kotsay Dye

The cubs are trading away DeRosa to the Phils as well, and that guy was a huge part of last years success

In other news, Jim Belushi wants Obama's senate seat.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 07:54 AM) Here's my odd prediction... I think after the Sox trade Dye (or before), you'll see them sign Mark Kotsay to play CF. Doesnt Kotsay have a neverending disc problem in his back that has limited him for the better part of the last 3 years? When healthy he is nails, but i had him on my fantasy team last year and he didnt seem to be healthy all that much

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 09:59 PM) What? You will see. I bet it really pisses you off too. QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) Dolph Ziggler. I thought he moved around in the ring like Hennig a bit as well. It wasnt as much the in-ring skills as it was the intro and presentation. He had that pinched face look that Hennig always used, that "Im better than you" look that is in Milkmans avatar

QUOTE (daa84 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 07:40 AM) the f***ing cubs are gonna get peavy for a package of marquis (addition by subtraction) felix pie, josh vitters and a bag of balls....if thats honestly all it takes im gonna be irate This morning Brian Hanley was saying that Kevin Towers has stated that Peavy will either go to the Cubs or stay a Padre. I just dont understand it

I think I might get a little bit sick if KW trades Dye and goes out and signs Baldelli

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) Aren't the Cubs technically still owned by the Tribune Co.? Didn't the Tribune Co. file for Bankrupcy today? There seems to be something morally wrong with them adding millions to the payroll when some of their creditors won't be paid. I dont know if it means anything in the grand scheme of things, but the Score reported that while the Tribune filed for Bankruptcy, The Cubs and Wrigley Field were not part of the bankruptcy claim

Who is this Mr Perfect wannabe? Sigler?

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 08:34 PM) I don't know what to think. JD would deserve better than to be lied to. That doesnt mean that Gammons cannot be lied to.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) Why would getting a CF open up the 2B spot? Freel plays IF as well as OF

MVP just got some great heat talking smack to Philly and Jimmy Rollins. MVC is hilarious
