January 24, 200620 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 11:56 AM) No argument from me. The Cubs suckage makes me laugh. But hey, It's still a Cubs town. To me Chicago became a White Sox town on October 26, 2005.
January 24, 200620 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) If you take the fact that it is the Cubs out of the equation, then signing Miller is for that amount is a good low risk, potential high reward gamble. Just because it's the Cubs does not make this a bad move. Are you implying that White Sox fans have a biased hatred for the Cubs?
January 24, 200620 yr QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Jan 24, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) To me Chicago became a White Sox town on October 26, 2005. No doubt about it. It's a White Sox town where it counts.

January 27, 200620 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 25, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) Yes. Yes I am. You are indeed right. And I am one of them. I live for their pain.
January 28, 200620 yr QUOTE(Reddy @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 08:23 PM) i agree, if we made this move then people would be praising KW for the "low risk high reward" move that kenny loves to make. i like the move if i'm a cubs fan Sure, Miller has good upside and it is cheap, but if I'm a Cubs fan I still look at the rotation of Zambrano, Prior (which is obviously a very good top 2), Maddux, Rusch, and Williams to start the season and see glaring holes. Miller and Wood can come back by may, but then again they may not come back for awhile, and then there is what Baker said at the Cubs Convention that they don't know if Wood will come back as a starter or in the pen. Hendry said after this move that the Cubs are done with pitching moves, which would concern me a little if I was a Cubs fan. Is it a bad move? No, like you said, "low risk high reward," but if KW does it he would be the 7th starter or a right hander in the pen along with Hermie and Cliff.
January 28, 200620 yr Well if Wood does come back to the pen their bullpen is going to be pretty awesome with Wood, Eyre, Howry, and Dempster....and maybe being in the pen will keep Wood from injury lol....
January 28, 200620 yr cubs are starting to look like a winner....if it goes redsox, whitesox, cubs....then i am going to wonder if the fix was in?

January 31, 200620 yr They actually blew their chance in '03. That was their shot, but they lost it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It'd be a conspiracy either way.
