ND would be much more credible if they did not play teams like army and navy and joined conference to play real compentition. I would love to see ND v. Wisconsin. The fact that ND plays a JV schedule as was previous credibility earns them a lot of disrespect. It adds fuel to the fire for ND haters. Playing a real schedule would go a long way to saying STFU to ND haters like me.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) I don't think most people say he is untouchable as a matter of fact he is the one I would trade because of the impending free agency. If anything most people seems to blast and undervalue him during these discussions. I would agree that he is undervalued, though I think that is because people think he is only going to get worse. The reason might be that most pitchers don't recover velocity once it dips that much.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) Who cares when he wins them? As long as you pitch well enough to win. Last time I checked the team with the most wins make the playoffs and go on to the World Series. While he didn't have a great year he definately "fooled" enough people to win games. If that is the case, he needed to fool some hitters better, not relying on offense so much. I really have trouble believing that people are kicking and screaming about trading Freddy when, he is a year away from walking and getting a raise, his velocity dropped considerably, he b****ed about not getting enough run support and threw teamates under the bus for poor defense, yet people are sainting him as an untouchable.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) I know 17 game winners suck, they can't do anything right. The hitters bailed him out every game. All the games were 10-9. Wins mean less when your team has to score 6 and 7 runs to get you those 17 wins. But I guess that is ok since Freddy was better when it really matter in September. He owned the Angels in September.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) Well, the Angels weren't really sure how to hit his stuff either. I'm glad Freddy fooled somebody in 2006.

GLOAD = WINS

QUOTE(TLAK @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) IMO stupid deal. Crede is better than Figgins and Garcia is better than Santana. Not sure how Garcia's fastball of 84mph and dropping trumps Santana.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 25, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) Every time one of these signings comes through, I keep having the same reaction; I'm glad we're not the one taking that gamble. Exactly. The market is protecting KW from doing anything stupid/irrational.

This trade should asure that the Brewers will again finsh higher in the division that the Cubs.

Left Field in Houston will be good to CLee. Not just for padding his HR stats, but a smaller LF may cover up the fact that Lee may be the worst fielding LF in baseball.

If we could get a decent replacement, why not lose both Freddy and Javy. Imagine how many fewer times a tee ball stand would be posted on Soxtalk in 2007 if both were gone.

If true, let me be the one to write a personal thank you note to the Dodgers that we can all sign. Thank you for not letting Ozzie get what he wanted.

Can't wait to see what extra cool nickname Cubs fans have for him. The Fonz? Sori? The Trib marketing department has a lot of thinking and sleepless nights now.

I hate having to face him 6 times a year, but I love this signing. Embrace another era of K's and poor defense. Maybe the Trib wasn't far off in advertising Sammy's come back.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Nov 18, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) If 'bullpen arm' equals Massett and 'others' equals Hurley, then I'd say you're onto something. Not directly related to this topic, but earlier on ESPN News there was a segment on the Angels persuing Zito. If Anaheim could land Zito it helps us tremendously with Texas and New York. Mets may be pushed into a bidding war with Texas if they feel they're close. That's atleast what I hope. If Glavine leaves for Atlanta it would be even better. All the more reason not to rush into anything prematurely.

For those of that are actually keeping track: Freddy is going to the Angels Javy is going to the Mets Garland is going to Texas Buehrle is going somewhere the Foxsports has yet to determine. Rotation for next year: Count BMac ???? ???? ???? Believe everything you read!

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 10, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) I don't know if this is a breaking news story. Seeing as how its been expected since Nov 2004. http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=2644481&page=1 Actually I would say that most people expected this since the summer of 2000 and South Carolina.

Sheffield is likely to add offense, but more importantly, can he help the Tiger Pitchers with their fielding?

One voting rule that I always follow, I never vote for somebody if they are running unopposed on the ballot. It seems rather pointless.

Imagine the devistation among Cub fans if the White Sox then Cards win the World Series in back to back years. I love the pain!

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 22, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) Bono doesn't think he is John Lennon, because that would be a step down in just about every way. He is certainly the overexposed torch bearer of the mixing of politics and rock music. The problem with Bono is most people really don't care about his opinions.

I would prefer to rip out his vocal cords and cure his visions of gradeur that make his think he is John Lennon.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 21, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Are we talking about human debris here or industrial pollution? I think it fits either category. I think we might even be able to get third world country classification for Gary.

How is Gary, Indiana not on this list. ... Seriously.

I am going to take a different angle and say that everybody died when they were supposed to die without any music left to give. I wouldn't want to see John Lennon putting out crap like Paul McCartney is in his 60's. I would not want Nirvana putting out a new cd like Pearl Jam every year when post people stopped carrying years ago. And would we really need to see the Doors still touring like the Rolling Stones even though their best music is 20 years behind them. That's just my opinion though.
