Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Julio is not of this planet. Dude is almost 50! And lmao@Prior and the Flubs. The way they're going, they're gonna be out of it by the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Funny thing is, Franco was old when he was with us in '94. To think that he's still a productive player at the age of 104 is impressive. As far as the Cubs go, through the first month or so I thought they were just going through the motions of a long season. It's really starting to look like they aren't a very good team. They might be sellers soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHUTOUT, I hope Smoltz shuts 'em out in the night game.. can you say "no playoffs"? 2005 is all our's. I'll never forget the sick feeling of watching the Cubs in the post-season while the Sox were at home. All the love, hoopla, hype that was generated around them. It was like we didn't exist. Now it's our turn. Hopefully, unlike them, we go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as he sucks, I'm sure they could find a taker for Patterson. I also think that Burnitz would be a decent addition for a team needing an extra bat. At this moment, I don't think they'll be sellers, but if they don't get their act together soon, it might be too late for them to be buyers.

There's always a gm that's gonna think "a change of scenery" will do the trick. His trade value has got to be very low, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Patterson is that despite his suckiness, he's still got the kind of talent that makes GMs think that they can fix him. I wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft pole, but there are some dumb GMs out there...and Jim Hendry has made a habit of pawning them in recent years.

Balta1701 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Here's the thing to ask yourself... The Cubs have Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, Greg Maddux, Carlos Zambrano, Derek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez. If Bobby Cox and Leo Mazzone were coaching that team...do you think they'd be a .500 team? What does that tell you about the north side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I wouldn't be totally shocked to any of Wood, Maddux, Patterson or Burnitz wearing something other than Cubby blue by the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
