The Cubs should turn around and trade Happ for prospects.

Two HIGH LEVEL prospects.

In the abstract...

Put them both in center.

[Brownie]

No. If the Cubs get Happ, he'll go 10-0 down the stretch to lead the Cubs rise from the dead into the World Series, and I'll petition the mayor of my town and the mayor of the neighboring town to rename my street in Happ's honor, and I'll go into the neighboring town and get myself politely shitfaced at this neighborhood restaurant.

No TJ, it was determined over at the shoutbox that any competent Cub is at PEAK TRADE VALUE and must be traded for prospects to rebuild for 2012. In the abstract.

I support this idea only if someone can convince me that Q-Tip isn't too old to play 2B.

I'm not sure what his problem is but I've been consistently disappointed in 90 percent of his work since Beats, Rhymes and Life. I doubt if it's age though. I guess he just got rich and weird. Happens.

A million times yes.

*Unless some statfhag proves me wrong.

I'm going with a "meh" for now.

I'll join you on the Meh Train.  For those wondering, it's a really boring place.

Eh, it's not that bad. But it's not that good, either.

Roy Oswalt officially has accepted his proposed trade to the Philadelphia Phillies.

After considering his options and speaking with friends familiar with the Phillies' situation, including former teammate Brad Lidge, the Houston Astros' staff ace waived his no-trade clause Thursday in order to be dealt for left-handed starter J.A. Happ and two prospects, the Phillies said in announcing the trade.

I'm just glad the Tards didn't get him.

So, it's highly doubtful Lilly gets traded, huh?

Man, if Hendry can't trade Lilly or get Lee to waive his no trade clause, Ricketts ABSOLUTELY HAS TO KEEP Hendry on for next year.

He's KEEPING THE BAND TOGETHER!
