Jesse Rogers is reporting....that the Cubs have made a trade, but doesn't know what it is.

Anyone know if Bruce Levine is reporting anything ?

Rich Harden to Cubs??????

_________________

Sounds like a Larry Holmes story if you ask me...

Jesse is setting himself up for humiliation not knowing the trade b4 reporting it.

Well if they dont get Harden atleast Jesse looks like a fool.

_________________

If it is Harden, then the Cubs got pillaged. Beane gets the better deal in most trades he makes it seems. If the Cubs win it all, of course it's worth it. However, right now I'm extremely apprehensive about dealing with the rapacious Beane.

_________________
Stupidity irritates the crap outta me... and yes, I irritate myself far too often.

Without knowing anything about this, I'll say...

Harden = Good.

Any combo of players the Cubs would give up to give him = not as good.

I withhold the right to change my opinion once we have any actual information.

Gallagher and Murton.

I would like them trading Murton to Oakland as Oakland would likely overvalue Murton.

Gallagher, Patterson, Murton if I heard right?

I know Murton is a Beane guy, usually hits for average and OBP.

Patterson, Muton, Gallagher, and a minor leaguer.

I think Gallagher is going to be good but this is a trade that helps them now. I like it as long as Harden stays healthy.

THe minor Leaguer is what scares me.

Minor leaguer is Donaldson a catcher in Peoria.

Don't like to lose Gallagher, but you have to give something to get something. The Cubs needed a starter and we've got ourselves a pretty good one.

9 times on the DL???? I didnt realize it was that much. Thats a little scary.

_________________

Cubs destroyed Oakland in that deal. I don't even care if Harden breaks down, and although I liked Sean Gallagher, who cares about Patterson and Murton?

Did I hear that right? Harden's been on the DL nine times?

Nine times? I don't remember him being on the DL nine times.

That's because he wasn't on the DL... he was ditching.

Wait, we traded for Prior again?

Well I'm just thrilled I'll never have to see Murton at the plate or in the field again for the Cubs. Praise the heavens. I'll bet Lou's happy too.

What is it that Billy sees in Murton? What's he going to do in Oakland? DH, and hit .280, with an OBP of .290? 5 HR's in that big park? Have fun!

Dude, he's a great contact hitter, why would you say that?

Even if the Catcher turns out to be good, it doesnt look like wed have room for him anyways.

Steal for the Cubs.

Soriano and Fukudome our you outfielders for the next 4 years. You don't need Murton and Patterson.
Patterson might be something but who cares. You got a stud pitcher.

I can't believe the A's didn't hold out for more. They had 3 weeks. Somebody, with better prospects, might have gotten desperate.

Anyway, nice trade Hendry. Way to push it.

You really think so Darkside? I've never liked him. I know his career avg is around .290, but to me he just looks overmatched at the plate. I don't remember him doing much of anything to advance runners or hit sac flies, and it seems like he K's too much to be considered a contact hitter. But maybe the stats say otherwise, I don't know. All I know is, he can't play defense and doesn't hit for power. So unless he hits .330 with an OBP well over .400, I don't see his value to a team.

It must really suck to be the Cardinals right now.

Why do you care about Murton?

Do you guys realize he can't play for the Cubs anyway.

You have Fukudome and Soriano locked up in long term deals!!!!!

Even if you like him where the fuck is he gonna play for you?

Score:

Bruce 100 Jesse 1

Bruce is losing it, just like Federer.
