I've been reading all the posts for this thread and I would like to throw in my 2 cents. One thing I came away from their (the Ricketts) press conference is...
... Seriously now.... and I'm not trying to be a smart ass.... but did you actually think he would say anything less? When they all come aboard... The...
... Not to sound argumentive or slam you (that's the last thing I want to do) but if that's the case why don't you root for the Yankees? The Cubs have...
The thing is that the Cubs have not spent wisely or planned wisely. Just an observation, but it seems like the Yankees look a year or two down the road at...
... More like over-react to situations. We needed a quality LH hitter and outbid ourselves (no other team was close) for Milton Bradley. We still don't...
OK- so after the last couple Bears games (don't even want to talk Cubs right now, especially with Lilly possibly delayed in Spring due to shoulder surgery...
Agree about the O-Line. Without a solid line both the rushing and passing game don't have much of a chance. Funny how the Bears can't put it together.... when...

I think that should be the #3 biggest reason to get kicked off this board, after "Go Cards" at #1, and "Go Packers" at #2!!! LOL -Geo 'Oi kau ka lâ, e hana i...
I dunno- the McCaskeys are about as stingy as it gets, so no way do I think they will pay Smith to NOT coach the Bears. So once his contract is up, maybe. It...
I will never buy the whole Turner is an offensive genius concept. He has not found ways to utilize Cutler enough, and it sure does not help when our line...
An interesting gauge of Turner's effectiveness as an OC is to compare how Kyle Orton is doing as a Bronco vs. how he did as a Bear. Â Case closed! ... From:...
While I would say that is a telltale sign, I also wonder what his O- line is like. Which also makes me wonder is our O-line that bad, or is it something in our...
The Bears had a much better O-line the previous few years with Orton as QB and it was still geared to short gains to the point where defenses stacked the line...
And yet for some reason not a whole lot is said about this, it's as though Turner has some kind of safety clause that he doesn't get questioned as much. Is...
I would agree that ORton is a slap in the face to Turner, however that OL of his is fantastic. It is really amazing how good on OL you can have when you...
Just read a couple articles on the Cubs, one by Dave Kaplan suggested that the Cubs sign a SS to a one year deal, and suggested Cabrera as a relatively...
Of course not...but throw seven figures at an injury prone headcase and they are all over it... ... From: E. George Mucher III <fishydude@...> Subject:...
At what price though? And do you think he would do a 1 year deal? I would say that in addition to ruining players by bringing them up too soon, or bad coaching...
He's 36 years old. Nobody is going to give him more than 2 years. His big money days are behind him. I have no idea what he'll end up signing for but it would...
Well I could live with Tejada, and I do believe the Astros don't plan on bringing him back or something like that. And I agree about the pitching, we need...
This will all depend on whether or not Ricketts wants to win right now. I said last off-season we should've gone after Tejada. I do think he's got another good...
We can speculate all we want about who to sign or trade for but I think we're going to be constantly fed the names of all the prospects that are planned to...
Lackey would be a good fit but with so few quality arms he will probably be wayyyy over paid by one of 2 or 3 team who want him badly. I don't see the Cubs...
I read that our main focus right now appears to be CF Marlon Byrd. Cannot say I am too excited by that. Granderson might be nice, but I do not think he is a...

I wouldn't mind Byrd at this point in exchange for Bradley. It could work out for both teams.... Bradley would be back with Ron Washington and the Cubs would...
Granderson? I dunno.... doesn't a rumor like that reek of Brian Roberts a couple years ago & Jake Peavy last year?? Same game, different name this year.  ...
