So we could be looking at this next year... (not in batting order) LF - Nomar CF - Pie RF - Murton 3B - Ramirez SS - Furcal (I hope) 2B - Cedeno or Walker (I...
Here's an interesting experiment. I would LOVE to keep every single player we have now for next year (impossible, I know), but get all new coaches and...
This was a no brainer. Dempster signed a three year extension for $15.5 million. Great signing. Since taking over the closer's role, he's been lights out,...
If this is true, or if he plays with ANY NL team, I'm GOING to be at Wrigley when he first takes the field. I was hoping that those who make the interleague...
i see what you're saying but lets take a look at dusty.... how good were the giants with him? top of the league most every year and now they are bottom of the...
The problem with Dusty is twofold: 1) given the choice between a mediocre or even downright bad veteran and a talented but unproven youngster, he will always...
... Sammy has by and large disgusted me for the last few years. That said, I would personally stand and cheer for him when he came out and I think the level of...
if sosa is a rockie in 2006 i still dont see him doing much. and the day he sets foot on the lovely green of wrigley i will be the first to get kicked out of...
The injury is a BS excuse! Look at the Cards and the Braves! They were obliterated with injuries and THEY'RE going to the play-offs!!!!!!!!!!! Another thing...
Personally, I NEVER LIKED the guy.....ever. I could give a hootin' h*** (Moderator edit: language) about those big juiced bombs.....they never got us...
... Calm down. These are relatively wild claims, can you present any kind of evidence that just about every pitcher that crosses Rothchild's path is injured?...
... You really NEVER liked Sammy? In 1998, you didn't like a guy who hit 60+ bombs for average and RBIs, refused to take days off, and did it all with a smile...

I can honestly say it with a straight face. I don't care how good anyone is in not only sports, but in life.....if you're an egotistical, holier than thou,...
Not only does Dempster have an unnervingly high WHIP, but a big component of that unnervingly high WHIP is an unnervingly high walk rate. Dempster has done a...
... in ... Cubs ... better ... $11 ... Can someone that has the resources and/or math skills, do a comparison of Dempster's (closer) whip to Eckersly, Smith,...

I see Doc's and your point, and I would never question you guys. You know your stuff, and then some. But I do think it's fair to say with regard to lots of the...
It's interesting that the "real fans" on the South Side who "really watch the game" and actually "care if the team wins" need *Thunderstix*, the ubiquitous...

If Sosa ever returned to the Cubs I will become.........GULP!...............a White Sox fan! That would be sheer stupidity on managements part! Ryan Dickey...
