Happy New(CUB)Year to EVERYONE! I spent yesterday watching the cub movie (chasing october), that my sister got for me as a xmas present. Its a good movie funny...
... present. ... time!!! ... we ... team. ... rotation ... CUB ... Ramone, you should chill out just a bit. The Yankees have always used your approach to...
I hear you about chilling out. But i want a Chicago Cubs World Championship. The rotation of Zambrano,Lilly,marqui,hill,and o my GOD DEPMSTER???? do you really...
What do you mean????? The Chicago Cubs draw over 3+ million a year of fans in wrigley. I myself go see them here in miami for the three games they come down...
The money is not really the issue, IMO. Santana will be looking at 6 years at $20-25M a year. The Cubs could afford that if Santana makes it to free agency...
3 million fans @ $40 ea (guesstimate) barely covers this year's payroll (of just the players) and it'll keep going up every year the way the contracts are...
Exactly. It isn't about the money, it is about what the Twins will want to get him. The Yanks and Red Sox have not been able to pry him away, and they have a...
Amen. I have never understood you guys who advocate spending and spending and spending. As we've said before, 1) it doesn't necessarily lead to greater...
... Keenan - Nobody's going to jump down your throat on this. My two cents on the subject, for what it's worth.... The Cubs had already made the commitment to...
Ah...someone reasonable. Thank goodness! My response to that is just that we probably have the talent we need. I agree we need more pitching, but I'm not sure...
How much money is left though? and how attractive does it look for the sale to be so far in the red? What happens if the buyer wants to rush being in the black...
I will tell you why not us? We cannot put together a package nearly as attractive as Boston or NY. We have some nice young talent, but both the Yanks and...
... All the more reason to get it done now. The Marlins went out and spent what it took to win a WS and then the owner dismantled the team by trading his...
Scott - you hit the nail on the head. The next 30 days will spell out much of what the Cubs can and cannot do as to pitching additions and possibly Roberts....
... Santana ain't gonna happen.<< Thanks, for nothing. So what's your option? ... From: Scott Rendler <itzscott1@...> To: DiehardCubsFans@yahoogroups.com...
... 1) I think it's essential that the Cubs get Roberts to complete their lineup by having someone at the top to kick start their offense. 2) I also think...
How do you know it's not the other way around? 1. Maybe it's essential to obtain a frontline pitcher..... 2. The 'kickstart' to the offense could come from...
Well the Marlins didn't really do it to set themselves up for the future.. Huizenga lost so much money in the run for the world series he had his fire sale and...
I would add to this that Bedard ain't gonna happen either. I'd like to see the Cubs continue to "slump-proof" their lineup. One of the things that have...
Last year before the season started it was gonna be Soriano and Lee (I was gonna say Theriot, but he really hadn't risen up yet) that would 'snap' those...
Yeah I am on the line with this topic- if you look back to 2003 they showed 2 things that made all the difference. #1- good starting pitching, and #2- a...
I would be more up for that- but who do we really have that is "almost there" enough to do this with? The Cubs already shoot themselves in the foot almost...
... up having the new acquisition fall asleep on the job.... << Some acquisitions work out, some don't. That's the risk in any transaction. It's just as big a...
Come on guys its 100 years!!!! If we "bought" a championship in 2008, and WON!-- let me say it AGAIN WON the world series, do we really care if they disbanded...
... Yes, actually, I do care! I would rather be a perennial contender with a few homegrown guys thrown in, than to win it once, sell it all, and go back to...
Wow- I am empathetic to your feelings because I want the Cubs to win, but I worry for your blood pressure man! The Cubs are my only Chicago team that has not...
