December 22, 200421 yr Cub fans have a monopoly on phone calls. Don't these morons have enough air-time to express their baseless fantasies on the MIke Murph Evening Show? What are the cubs fans asking? Is it like "Why don't the Cubs just sign Beltran and keep Sosa? I'm a stupid idiot who throws money at them blindly and have no clue they're owned by a corporation and actually have to show a profit." Seriously though, what are they asking? They should be angry at their GM for not landing a closer...
December 22, 200421 yr Considering 60% of that rotation was with the Yankees last year, and they couldn't win with a line up that is so superior to the line up the White Sox would field in 2005, I'm really not that impressed. The best point I've seen on this board in a while. That kind of logic is dangerous around here.
December 22, 200421 yr Cub fans have a monopoly on phone calls. Don't these morons have enough air-time to express their baseless fantasies on the MIke Murph Evening Show? And it's all Cork Related.
December 22, 200421 yr Its because they are all unemployed hey, it's only the "dumb mother f***ing 15%"
December 22, 200421 yr Its because they are all unemployed I wouldn't doubt it. They're everywhere; suggesting Sosa trades and filling the airwaves with a Beltran lovefest.
December 22, 200421 yr What are the cubs fans asking? Is it like "Why don't the Cubs just sign Beltran and keep Sosa? I'm a stupid idiot who throws money at them blindly and have no clue they're owned by a corporation and actually have to show a profit." Seriously though, what are they asking? They should be angry at their GM for not landing a closer... They've gotta be nervous since the Yanks/Dodgers/ Az deal fell part. Look for George to go after Beltran hard core now.
December 22, 200421 yr FWIW, Terry Boers said "His guy" said El Duque to the Sox is done... I know that ain't worth s***, but I can't listen to Mariotti without stabbing my eyes out, so listening to Boers and Bernstein.... Boers did work in the newspaper industry for awhile, but his NBA sources are usually good, not sure about his baseball sources
December 22, 200421 yr They've gotta be nervous since the Yanks/Dodgers/ Az deal fell part. Look for George to go after Beltran hard core now. not only that, but Beltran has said he really liked playing in Houston, so it sounds like the Cubs would have to outbid the Astros...
December 22, 200421 yr Kotex Boy trying to explain the benefits of overbidding for Troy Percival. Is he also explaining the benefits of being the Mets and Orioles?

I know that ain't worth s***, but I can't listen to Mariotti without stabbing my eyes out, so listening to Boers and Bernstein.... Boers did work in the newspaper industry for awhile, but his NBA sources are usually good, not sure about his baseball sources I'm guessing his guy is George Offman, but it might be another source.
December 22, 200421 yr not only that, but Beltran has said he really liked playing in Houston, so it sounds like the Cubs would have to outbid the Astros... and his wife loves houston. plus if he doesnt put numbers up in ny cause of "presure" the ny media will kill him. thats what i asked michael kay yesterday on his show in ny. i said he's so used to playing in the big time so he never had presure and he said i had a good point
December 22, 200421 yr What are the cubs fans asking? Is it like "Why don't the Cubs just sign Beltran and keep Sosa? I'm a stupid idiot who throws money at them blindly and have no clue they're owned by a corporation and actually have to show a profit." Seriously though, what are they asking? They should be angry at their GM for not landing a closer... Case #1: Release Sosa. Eat Sosa's 18 million dollar contract. Case #2: Sign Beltran, THEN worry about unloading Sosa. As if there wouldn't be any doubt of Hendry's intentions. Case #3: Trade Sosa/Farnsworth to Arizona for Randy Johnson since three-way discussions broke down. Case #4: Trade Sosa to White Sox for a collection of minor leaguers, Aaron Rowand. These were all examples I heard last night. Kid you not. Listen to Mike Murphy's Evening Show on 670 AM if you're seeking a laugh.
December 22, 200421 yr I'm guessing his guy is George Offman, but it might be another source. No, they've ragged on him for being wrong before... I think it's someone else... Boers wouldn't consider him a source... Ofman is an absolute joke... on Saturday morning he was on with Rosenthal and he said "The white sox are for sure the 4th team" Meaning the NY/LA/AZ trade.... Then later WSCR was reporting that the Sox are not the 4th team and smugly said "no matter what rumors you heard" of course not saying that they were reporting it for over 1/2 the day

These were all examples I heard last night. Kid you not. Listen to Mike Murphy's Afternoon Show on 670 AM if you're seeking a laugh. what a bunch of douche bags.... Cubs fans really don't get that the Cubs have to make money, they can't even break even, it wouldn't make sense for a corporation to have a known money making part of their business and downgrade it and still carry all the potential liability... un f***in real thanks for the update
December 22, 200421 yr Just heard El Duque is 39????? That can't be right... damn. Also heard he's only made 30 starts in one of his 7 seasons.... great
December 22, 200421 yr Just heard El Duque is 39????? That can't be right... damn. Also heard he's only made 30 starts in one of his 7 seasons.... great who knows he can be 93 for all that we know
December 22, 200421 yr A 39 year old pitcher for $2 million per doesn't sound so bad when comparing to a 41 year old pitcher at $16 million per and losing Konerko, Garland and Sweeney.
December 22, 200421 yr Ex Yankee, new Dodger broadcaster Charlie Steiner is on with Boers and Bernstein, and they asked him about El Duque.... He said he came back 2 months early from surgery, pitched very well until he seemed to run out of gas. Said it would be a good signing for the Sox if he's their 4th or 5th starter and they don't expect him to start 33 games... Also said one of the reasons he left NY was the atmosphere there, said winning wasn't fun, it was a relief...
December 22, 200421 yr I'm guessing his guy is George Offman, but it might be another source. nope its not Offman. he references "his guy" on deals. they are usually right on. its somebody in the industry.
December 22, 200421 yr Charlie Steiner Evander Holyfield: "STEINER! Come on out Charlie ... take your whoopin' Steiner!" (Steiner hiding under desk at ESPN studios)
