I am going to make a bold prediction. Unless something startling happens, the Cubs win the division again. This is a bold prediction since recent history...
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-mets- cubstrade&prov=ap&type=lgns I liked Pagan. He is never going to be anyone's franchise player. The Cubs seem to...
... And it would have been much cooler had we picked up Ryan Church when he was available. I wonder if this was a means of freeing up a roster spot for...
... guys.....you'll never hear of them again. Goodbye to an, at best,arguable starter....at worst, excellent bench player. Happy New Year, you guys. Hawk...
And he reports that the Cubs may give up Murton, Gallagher, Marshall, and Cedeno. I think Roberts is a fine player, and the Cubs could surely use a guy who...
They ought to make Phil Rogers the GM. We're going to have Marquis and Dempster as the 4-5 starters if they make this deal....and screw up DeRosa's year on top...
... Murton was the #7 OBP guy (players with 100+ ABs) last season, and Soriano was #8. Wow. HUUUUUGE drop. On the other hand, Soriano was #4 in OPS, while...
... I heard a similar rumor, but I heard the deal without Murton. I like Roberts, but I thought Gallagher, Marshall, and Cedeno was a steep price to pay....
Why does he remind me of Rick Reuschel post Cubs career when with the Giants? If John is healthy he'll be great better then Jason Marquis maybe Lilly. ... ...
My only issue with Lieber is the price tag. I know that today $3.5 million isn't a lot of money, but think about it. He is 38. He has had Tommy John...
He may be useless, but it's a pretty low risk deal. We didn't trade two prospects for him (ala Trachsel) and he is likely to pitch more innings than Prior did...
If he throws one pitch to one batter he has Prior's contribution in 2007 beaten. ... trade two ... innings than ... $3.5 ... has ... with ... think ... Marquis...
I know baseball's finances have desensitized us all - but it still irks me to read someone referring to $3,500,000 as a "low risk". I think it's unlikely that...
... Get used to the economics Will. We're talking about 2% of the team's total payroll. If he contributes, great, if not, then it really isn't a big deal. Do...
... For that matter different in this case probably IS better. I don't like the prospects of heading into another season with three virtually identical ...
Hendry says that he is not through yet. No other team has been very active lately. I wonder if he is just trying to put as much time as possible between the...
I suppose that it makes sense that nothing is happening. Except for the Mets it appears that baseball takes the month of January off. In a couple of weeks...

McNamee saved the hypodermic needles? I have no love for Roger Clemmons, but what kind of a person would save incriminating evidence against a friend/client?...
