Colin Farrell Gossip
Colin Farrell gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Fantastic Beasts has no owls
But it does have a really cool golden bird. A new trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has come out and this one gives a better look at Newt Scamander's many fantastic beasts, among them, a golden bird that is maybe a thunderbird. There are, however, no owls. Am very disappointed as I got a great grey owl Full Story
Magic at Comic-Con

Sarah covered WB's superhero onslaught at Comic-Con earlier today. For me, like her, the highlight of all that was Wonder Woman. Otherwise the Warner Bros release I'm most looking forward to is Fantastic Beasts. Another trailer was presented during the panel along with wands but not before they all cast the spell, with Eddie Redmayne Full Story
Memorial Day Colin
There's been a lot of broken love in gossip lately. So to welcome those of you in the US back from your long weekend, let's ease in with quick hits of love intact. Colin Farrell spent Memorial Day in LA. Full Story
Idris Elba & Colin Farrell: Best MET Men

Idris we were expecting. It was always going to be good. We just didn't know how good. And it was more than good, it was delicious. Idris Elba in Tom Ford. Tails. For the first time. WHY DID IT TAKE OVER 40 YEARS FOR SOMEONE TO PUT IDRIS ELBA IN TAILS??? Shut the f-ck up, Lainey. Full Story
I want to go to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Eddie Redmayne, the human equivalent of the puppy who most wants to be adopted, also turned up at the MTV Movie Awards, to debut the first trailer from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Holy sh*t, you guys. Full Story
Still don't have a name
Colin Farrell has a girlfriend. We've seen them papped together holding hands a few times. Click here for a refresher. Yesterday Colin was back home in Ireland, seen at the Adele concert, and his girlfriend was with him. We still don't have a name though. Full Story
Colin Farrell's new girlfriend?
LA Photo Lab/ Aficionado Group/ Getty Images
I haven't posted about Colin Farrell in a LONG time. Like since August. Despite the fact that he's actually never looked better. Look at him. He's SO hot. But he's also been really, really quiet. Quietly living, quietly working. He's in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Full Story
TIFF Review: The Lobster
Joe Scarnici/ Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Todd Williamson/ Michael Tran/ Getty Images
What a f*cking weird movie. I love it, I can't guarantee you will all love it, too, but if you're open to trying a different flavor, The Lobster is definitely worth a shot. The first English-language feature from Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth), and co-written with his regular collaborator Efthymis Filippou, The Lobster is very funny, occasionally brutal, and completely bizarre. Full Story
Colin Farrell's SUPER WEIRD Lobster
Colin Farrell has a film screening at TIFF called The Lobster. The Lobster is from Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, who also made the deeply creepy Dogtooth. Colin Farrell is pants-wettingly hot, but in The Lobster he's playing an awkward man with a bad mustache, and he looks pretty convincing at it. Full Story
Colin Farrell is a fantastic beast
Wenn, FameFlynet
Colin Farrell is the latest actor to join the Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He'll co-star with Eddie Redmayne, who plays Newt Scamander, as a magical acquaintance of Newt's.They meet in New York, where the movie is set. Fantastic Beasts is slated for release on November 18, 2016. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Now that Game Of Thrones has wrapped, HBO is moving us right into True Detective season 2, premiering on Sunday in Canada and the US. I wasn't into the first season. The partnership between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson didn't interest me, wasn't new for me. Read Full Intro

Helping players become full members if needed
Hello. I am sveros. A player on the Tw server. IGN is Sveroz from Untitled.
So far,i seen that many people are not able to benefit free rolls from recent m spend events and lose out quite a bit on the 100% level protectors and some other offers like this week's, buy 99m worth of stuff and get a astray blue frame second revise if you own a sinanju c2 or c3.
They are unable to because they are not full members and are not able to read chinese or fax or even call wasabii to activate their accs.
You guys must be rather frustrated at times when you want to join in the events even though they are kind of crappy at times.
Recently, I have managed to help a player in my clan who is a english guy that cannot read chinese become a full member.
This image is the proof that i have successfully did it.
Just follow the guide below and ensure you did not make any mistake regarding the details you have put in during the registration period.
Notes to be aware:
I am not able to help out anymore cus of life matters that are really eating into my time.
To those guys who have not even gotten past the first step, let me noe beforehand, when u see there are things to fill in when u enter, means ur still at the first step.
I require a email to be sent when asking me in a pm so that I can discuss the stuff easier.
It is not instant and took 3 days for me to make the account into a full member.
I will require at least 30minutes to one hour of your time each time i attempt to do it.
I will not disclose any personal information to anybody and it will be kept confidential.
If you are lazy, and do not cooperate with me,and your account does not become full member,that is your problem not mine.
This is a free service and I am willing to do it for anyone who requires it.
Current players helped:
kurohi (from untitled clan)(3days)
Carceroth (2hrs)
Chenjl (2hrs)
Asanagi(one week)
MakoWolf(12 hrs)
Helped and waiting for confirmation that it is working:
AoSekai(wasabii seems to miss his mail or smth is wrong somewhere)
junkstar(currently dont noe whether he is)
Added email and waiting for them to come back to me:
Cypher15(never came back)
I would like to thank kurohi from my clan for volunteering to work with me to be the first test subject for this.
Thanks Carceroth for trusting me and sticking with me for the past few days to solve issues that came up.
P.S I apologize for my english, grammar and to those who find my words offensive.
Alright as of 24/10/2011, i am going to stop this service but put up the method in which I got full membership. It works just like the screenshot proves.
Those players who are lazy to actually read the guide and follow it, then I am sorry but i doubt anyone will want to help you guys for free over this issue actually but there is always another alternative like asking a taiwan friend to call for you and risk getting your account hacked.
I am not accountable for any losses if you do try to ask a taiwan friend
First of all the form details is here with their respective information required.
translation as quoted from deathomen.
Note: those that actually anyhow placed the number inside should totally forget the idea of becoming a full member because wasabii cannot change the id number of an account once its inside the system.
After filling in this form which can be found here http://www.wasabii.com.tw/Service/FaxReport.gif , just email it to email@example.com. And you should become a full member in like a day on working days.
Note: it could take up to about 2-5 days in scenarios that wasabii staff are busy.
Wasabii has sent a email to people who cannot become a full member with the reason attached to it. So if you actually received one, tough luck to you, but you probably just nid to make a new account so that you can gift your main account the m stuffs though you will not get any of the extra roll benefits that come with spending m on your main account.
I apologize to those players who have tried to get in contact with me but due to real life matters, I am unable to attend to you guys. But with this translation of the form by deathomen and his taiwan friend, you should be able to become a full member just like the other people I helped.
oh thank god yes
i just made a thread earlier just for this reason
so when can we start?
give me ur email by pm and i can start doing 5 hrs later
well.added u in msn alr.later will settle the details with u
Sveros, you got PM.
This is going to be a hot thread.
Yea lol. I got like 5 pple pming me at 3 am-7am in the morning though -.-"
Must be the different timezones
I'd like help with this please. I sent a PM already too.
Just updated the notes section for those people who cant seem to find me.
Gokers112 please send me ur email.
Hi All
Added Sveros and tried sending my data over and got this certificate of full member.
Thanks Sveros.
Also people, please cooperate if you want help.
finished with Carceroth's application
He is now a full member
pls help me become a full member Sveros
Those players who want help, read the darn things at the top before coming to me. I am slightly annoyed when they do not even leave a contact for me to find them.
^promoted your thread. =)
help me sveros become a full member
before i even bother to help u. go read the top then come find me.
i do not care whether ur busy but go read the darn things as you are going to follow the same procedure as everybody else. Before u try to get help from others, at least try to read wat others say.
i just want to know how to call them for confirm the account ?
Don't be afraid to trust, Sverox is my hero. :py48:
Although I didn't manage to get full membership on my main (Thanks to my own stupidity), I did get it on my Alt. Thanks Sveros!

Our Commitment
- We believe that each individual dog and cat, regardless of breed or mix, age or issue, or amount of time needed, deserves the opportunity to find a forever home. We rehabilitate medical and behavior problems, and facilitate healing. We are committed to the forever placement of each animal for whom we assume responsibility.
- We are committed to a compassionate society where euthanasia, or a 'good death', is reserved for those animals who are suffering without hope, as well as for those animals whose dangerous behavior is truly beyond rehabilitation.
- We are committed to using healing, compassionate methods, not force, with the animals we rescue as well as any animals we help.
- We are committed to educating ourselves and others in canine behavioral science, relying upon teaching and communicating with dogs, rather than on frightening, dominating or intimidating them.
- We are committed to each individual dog and cat, and we celebrate the mutually beneficial bond that they share with humans.

First walkthrough difficulty seggestion
Hi all!
I have a one question.. on which difficulty you suggest me to start my first walkthroug? I'm not an SRPG ace at all. But I like this genre.
Cross Edge I've completed 2 times on Hard, and get a Plat... but I suspect that Hard in CE and Hard in Agarest is very different because of different gameplay.
Well, I want to get a Plat in this game, because I like it (not trophy hunting but game!). And I also know that I'll be forced to play on Hard to get at least one title. So, I think, maybe there's some reason to complete game on normal, then start NG+ on hard?
Ah, and one more moment - titles - will they carry over from lowest to highest difficulty? )
And well... second moment... tell me please what exactly carrying over when going from normal to hard? As far as I know, when going to lower or same difficulty all carrying over except levels and stats (like in Cross Edge)
Sorry for poor Eng and thanks for help =)

If you're willing to spend money on DLC, I suggest platinum in 1 play through, so straight to hard.
But with your experience on cross edge, you can start on hard too, just gonna be painful the first 3 generation, lots of grinding.
Titles don't carry over.

Outfield Contracts
Unfortunately, Player D will
Unfortunately, Player D will probably find his butt on the bench by the end of ST.
I really hope that in his bid to rebuild the team, Hendry is looking to deal Jones. I won't be too upset if he's on the team next year, but if he can be part of a package to net us a bigger fish, either in the outfield or in the rotation, I'm all for that.
Carlos Lee, reported 6 year
Carlos Lee, reported 6 year deal with the F'in Astros.
Astros give Lee $100mil over
Astros give Lee $100mil over 6 years:
Sucks that he's in the division and he could thrive in Houston batting with Berkman. Still not scared of the Astros yet. Now everbody can stop bitching about how much we paid Soriano. Who would you rather have, Soriano for $17mil a year or Lee for $16mil a year?
El Cabayo, $16.6M/yr with no
El Cabayo, $16.6M/yr with no state Taxes...I think he gets to keep more than Alfonso at least for 6 yrs. No wonder Baltimore couldn't compete with the Astros.That's alot of Cheeseburgers for CLee...wonder if Glendon Rusch is interviewing as his valet, trainer and batting practice pitcher.

Crap. I was really hoping
Crap. I was really hoping Lee would wind up in the AL and stop beating up the Cubs for a while. Now he's in the Central again. Sigh.
No shock with Houston though. My understanding is that he owns a ranch there, and the money's certainly good. So does this make the oft-injured JD Drew the best available free agent OF? Yikes.
"I want whatever the GMs

Yeah, obviously it's some good shit and probably expensive.
From a fabulous analysis of
From a fabulous analysis of this deal at the baseballthinkfactory
"For 6 years of Carlos Lee, you could get the 3 years of Catalanotto ($13.5), 2 years of Mussina ($22.5), 2 years of Frank Thomas ($18), with 36 million left over for a couple years of Bonds or whatever suits your fancy."
and "In other words, the Astros will be paying $15 million a year for the age 31-36 seasons of a player who's never had a season as good as Tim Salmon's average year (OPS+ of 129 with better defense)."
Ah, and it also echoes my remarks about Soriano starting to look like a good deal. Great minds, and all.....
the softer side of Jacque
the softer side of Jacque Jones...not sure what to think of this one, but it seems like a nice Thanksgiving story.

For the longest time, I have
For the longest time, I have believed via a series of societal indicators, that we are witnessing the slow and gradual decline of Western civilization, and baseball provides as relevant an indicator as any. The fact that grown men actually pay this much money for a professional athlete is not only indescribable (at least to me), but it shows just how much money is being spent by the masses on a game that center around a little white ball.
It boggles my mind and makes me cringe to see what has become of the national pastime, and how much each super sized signing further disconnects us everyday joes from a game that many of us played as boys.
I give everyone who makes it to the show their just due, cause it's hard and very few can call themselves major league baseball palyers, but the money being shown athletes today is out of touch with their true value by any realistic measure that I know.
Someday off in the future, the game will come back to the fans, but for now, it seems to be all about the money.
I find little to like in this current epoch of pro sports, and by the way, I think Jim Hendry is a fool who would be better served by being in another line of work - one that has nothing to do with the Chicago Cubs.
Jk1969: It boggles my mind
It boggles my mind and makes me cringe to see what has become of the national pastime, and how much each super sized signing further disconnects us everyday joes from a game that many of us played as boys.
Athletes getting overpaid is nothing new. It's an industry with a lot of money... like the movie industry... or music industry. It's nothing new. It's not the decline of Western civilization. It's just people getting over-paid with gobs of money.
JK, point that finger at
JK, point that finger at yourself, brother. You are at fault for this. As am I, RobG, MannyTrillo, MikeC and every other clown that follows this sport. WE are the reason they get paid so much. It's not that 'athletes' get over paid its certain athletes in certain sports get outrageous amounts of money. Go check out pro-bowlers or the WNBA. How about professional soccer or area football. Most of us get paid better than all those people.
The problem is that I and millions of other people buy tickets to the games, jerseys, paid subscriptions for MLB.tv and such. We create the market. If WE stopped going to the games and stopped giving them money, Carlos Lee would be lucky to get a 6 year $60,000 a year contract.
Don't hate the players hate the fans.
"Someday off in the future,
"Someday off in the future, the game will come back to the fans, but for now, it seems to be all about the money."
I doubt in the future players are going to play for the money. They will be paid even more money. Good players do recieve enormous amounts of money, but they have special abilities that not very many players have.
And Jim Hendry is not a fool, he's trying to put together a winning baseball club, and to get a winning team he has to give up a lot of money. I guess for him not to be a fool to you is for him to sign a bunch of minor leaguers getting paid the league minimum.
"I doubt in the future
"I doubt in the future players are going to play for the money."
Meant to say, "In the future players will still play only for the money."
I've also seen that article,
I've also seen that article, CUBSTER. I sort of wonder how comfortable this (presumably modest, middle-class) family will be riding around town in a decked-out mercedes. Then there's also the Oprah Phenomenon: giving people cars that they can't afford the insurance payments on.
I don't mean to be a jerk about it, I'd be incredibly grateful if some student of mine goes on to great success and gives me a Mercedes. It's just sort of like giving your kid an elephant for her birthday. It's cool to be the only one on the block to have one, but....
In any case, I'll take it as more proof that Jones is a good guy.
"Then there's also the Oprah
"Then there's also the Oprah Phenomenon: giving people cars that they can't afford the insurance payments on."
Welcome to Los Angeles, CA!
Oprah didn't pay anything
Oprah didn't pay anything out of her pocket for those cars. Pontiac donated them for essentially advertising purposes. As for the $ being thrown around, if someone like Tom Cruise, who couldn't act his way onto a 20,000 populative town's civic theatre, can pocket $20m a picture for 4 months work I can be a little more flexible on a ballplayer getting $16 million for 6-7 months, especially if he's a well conditioned athelete who trains in the off-season.
I remember when Pete Rose
I remember when Pete Rose signed a contract for $100,00.00. I couldn't believe it. I know he wasn't the first one to sign for that money, but he was a singles hitter at the time. Players now are signing for $18,000.00 per year. Where do you think this will be in 25 years. Players making $100,000.000.00 per year? I don't really blame the players for getting all that can get, but what will a ticket cost to see a game., $500.00? Hard to take your kids to a game with that possible admission charge.
I was wronged!

The Astros blog comments on
The Astros blog comments on the Lee signing are funny. Stop me if you've heard this before:
Hes going to look damn good in the middle of the order but purp and company overpaid big time IMO.....
I'm more bothered by the years than... the money to be honest. But I think it's necessary.
No ballplayer is "worth" $16
No ballplayer is "worth" $16 million in the sense of his relative value to society or anything like that, but that's not the question. The question is, what is the ballplayer worth to the person/company that is paying him?
When you look at the increased ticket revenue, TV ratings, merchandise sales, etc. etc. that can be generated for a team owner by a superstar, you can make an argument that some of them are actually UNDERpaid. Given the state of the Astros, Lee is probably worth at least what he's being paid. Soriano too, given the dip in TV ratings that the Cubs suffered last year.
It ain't "fair" and the players don't "deserve" that money in the traditional sense. But in purely economic terms (and that's really what's relevant to the owners and players), they are worth every penny.
I was surprised and
I was surprised and delighted when the Rangers decided not to sign Carlos Lee. They have managed to do so many DUMB things in the past. Whew!
ive met more than a few
ive met more than a few idealistic 18 year olds who are in it for the "love of the game."
they wanna play college baseball and get an education and experience their youth in the face of a possible huge money (or in some cases "just" a few thousand bucks that's a lot to a kid).
even the college programs rip the innocence outta it and the most idealistic becomes exposed to the system that revolves around millions of dollars and 100s of thousands paid to scouts who travel around figuring out how many digits these kids are worth.
its a meat market out there that can whip the innocence outta anyone. even highschool ball in socal/so-fla/texas are competitive to the point people will move their kids 10-100-1000 miles away just to get into more visible programs.
once you get over 16 years old, unless you're in a low key area or playing at a less competitive tallent area, you're in the machine. leave your ideals at the door or wear them on you like a badge.
"once you get over 16 years
"once you get over 16 years old, unless you're in a low key area or playing at a less competitive tallent area, you're in the machine."

i seriously can't believe this happens, but it does.
"100s of thousands paid to
"100s of thousands paid to scouts"
just for clarification...that's a rough/dirty figure for all the scouts, not a scout.
scouts are paid pretty cruddy, really...most of them, anyway. lucky to get 25-40K a year for a huge chunk of the scouting population.

What I was trying to
What I was trying to articulate in my earlier post had nothing to do with pointing the finger at players, GM or the fans, rather I was attempting to offer a data point which serves to help illustrate the excessiveness that permeates our culture. Others can say it better and offer more concrete examples, but to me, baseball today serves as a real-time example of the upside down nature of economics and the value that attached to a professional baseball player--it is bizarre that we think of this a sane and efficent process when a guy can make nearly $400K a year plus meal money for being nothing more than a substitute.
I still think it's a great game between the white lines, but nearly everything else around it I frankly find repulsive and attributable to the excesses that come with the human condition.
Re: JK1969 It's been
Re: JK1969
It's been interesting to watch the debate you brought up--however, I think you'd be better off looking at the people who own the team and how much money they make off the professional atheltes they employ. Really, when you think of it, $16 million isn't a whole lot of money for these guys. If you figure that the Cubs regularly draw 2 million fans (and didn't we top three last season?) at Wrigley Field with an average ticket price of (I'm making this up) $35 that's at least $70 million right there... a year... every year. Just in ticket sales. Add in the fact that fans buy merchandise, and then TV revenue, and then food, and the $5 Bud Light...
We freak out over how much athletes get paid, but the truth is, no matter how you look at it these guys have to work VERY hard to get to where they are. And they make tons of money only because they've reached the highest level of their profession. The corporate equivalent of major league baseball players are people like Donald Trump--and no one complains about how much money they make.
its more about what
its more about what professional baseball is worth more than what any single employee is paid.
when the pool of money is considered (which is impossible thanks to the total lack of transparency for mlb clubs and their money flow) what's more important is how much money there is to begin with. chances are it'll put anyone's individual contracts into some kinda scope.
its the people who tolerate the $15-$125 tickets, $5 beers, and other overpriced concessions that contribute to this environment just as much (or in some opinions, even less) than the athletes demanding more money. no doubt there is a push-push thing going on from both sides, though.
I'm still trying to figure
I'm still trying to figure out who the players are in the post. I think I may have had a little too much Friday after Thanksgiving Early Times. I'm really quite puzzled right now.
Shameful, I know.
Jones, Matthews, Pierre,
Jones, Matthews, Pierre, Murton, Lee.
I'm glad we have Murton, and man I hope he not only plays but bats 2nd. And Jones isn't looking so bad in this crazy market. And the point is aren't we glad we aren't paying the salaries of those other guys; yes, the Soriano deal is looking better and better. But I'd love to see Jones and Dempster traded for a couple dozen baseballs to free up some more Trib dollars to sign J.D. Drew! :)
Pagan will serve as a fine 4th OF/Drew caddy for the 50 games he misses. But 112 games of Drew is better than 162 of Jones, especially if Sweet Lou doesn't platoon him. In this market suddenly Jones's salary is like a platoon partner's, so his "big" contract and Dusty are no longer excuses to see him be an everyday player.
Eduardo Perez is out there. Who else might be a candidate to go with him if we don't deal him? Craig Wilson?
I said it before and I'll
I said it before and I'll say it again...and probably again. The Matthews contract is by far the most ridiculous. 10 million for a guy who is a .270 hitter--at best? A guy who had 500 or more at-bats exactly ONCE by the age of 31? 10 million freaking bucks? For Sarge Lite? What were the Angels thinking?
Does anyone know Sarge Lite's career numbers at Angel Stadium? I bet the Angels don't. Here they are:
.239 .293 .337 .630
And one home run. Only 92 at bats, but ugh.
I just noticed that the
I just noticed that the depth chart at cubs.com has exactly 0 players listed in center. The Fonz is in left and Jacque's in right.

cubs.com depth chart is very informal.
its pretty much universally believed that soriano is here to play RF or CF and jones may be playing RF or CF, but nothing's been explicitly stated yet.
Now that we seem to be at a
Now that we seem to be at a lull point for Cubs off-season signings, I think it is good time for a post about the Cubs current salary commitments for '07, and potential options w/ money left over. Just briefly, they seem to have spent about 100-105 million thus far (that is counting Ramirez at only 9.33 million this year -- 8M base + signing bonus), then allotting raises for Z & Prior thru arbitration. I think a big priority needs to be signing Z long-term, which might bring our team roster to right around 105 million. That gives us about 15-20 million (hopefully) left for 2 SPs, and maybe one more bat.....
I still think the Soriano
I still think the Soriano deal is the most ridiculous yet. Mainly because of the length. 8 years is going to be an albatross hanging over the Cubs soon enough, guaranteed.
Lee getting $16 per and GMJ getting $110 per after 1 productive season is absolutely insane as well however.
I can tell you what the steal will be this off season and that's ARam. Wonder if he's kicking himself at all or feeling like he got chumped. 2 weeks in and I wonder if he already has any regrets? Gee, wouldn't that be just fabulous!

NO, Aram is not kicking himself. He already knew he could get that kind of money (Beltran money) if he went onto the open market. it's quite obvious that he really wants to stay with the Cubs. He signed with full knowledge that he gave Chicago a 20% discount.
DALLA GREEN: I wouldn't lose
DALLA GREEN: I wouldn't lose sleep over "your" lineup. I don't know who "Flyod" is, but with the current Cubs manager, and rejuvinated GM, I can assure you he is aware that having LH batters will be important to the team, and would expect to either hang on to Jones, and/or acquire more LH talent.
and if DG's outfield comes
and if DG's outfield comes to fruition...it's rebalanced in the lefty-righty game at least as far as Lofton/JJones goes especially if Floyd comes in for occaisional power boosts.
and I like the bonus of a 1-2 punch of Soriano-Lofton
1) Lofton is a lefty bat. Lofton is old enough and only got into 129 games last yr... which is more than I thought before looking that up. Still we'd might see either Soriano in CF on occaision or else Angel Pagan who's a switch hitter. (...from the last thread, I'm thankful that we won't see Jose Macias in CF)
Lofton's splits vs rightys last yr are .319/.379/.431/.763
2) Murton's splits vs Rightys are .295/.356/.426.782
and Murton's splits vs Lefty's are .301/.385/.485/.870...so Murton is showing he's not in need of a platoon partner
3A) Cliff Floyd is a lefty bat and his splits vs Righty's last yr are
.266/.342/.423/.765; and 3yr are .277/.369/.498/.867...so he's a nice addition mostly for power but I think he'd be best off the bench (replacing Mabry's bat last yr). Floyd last yr was 0-5 as a pinch hitter but in Wrigley he was 4-10 with 2 HR's.
3B) Mabry had an ugly 2006 but he was 10-22 as an OF and a very ugly 8-41 as a pinch hitter/1-7 as a DH. We desperately need to upgrade that roster spot and Floyd makes sense if he can't get a regular DH job. Mabry only has 210 AB's to replace, about as much as one can expect from Floyd's frequent walking wounded status.
4) I like the idea that "IF" Felix Pie by mid season earns his MLB roster spot, he's solve all the above discussion. Lefty bat. High ceiling for defense, speed and power...and then you have a bench of Floyd and Lofton which is very strong.
CUBSTER: Are you saying
CUBSTER: Are you saying that you think there are more productive miles in the Lofton tank?
So the CW, from your post is Lofton is used in the #2 hole, as a one-year rental until Pie is brought up?
What if Pie is traded for innings-eating pitcher? Do we do it?
IF this is the case, does the club then sign Dave Roberts?
With Pierre getting a $10MM/yr. deal, what is Roberts going to get?
And - what have you heard on the Ortho front re Prior injury rumors (if anything)? OR, does he REALLY need psychiactric help, not physical?
other rumors/tidbits
other rumors/tidbits Saturday...
Giants near resigning Rich Aurelia ($3M x 2) and the signing of Dave Roberts ($6M x 3) who wanted to stay with Bruce Bochy, Brewers apparently were the bridesmaids for Roberts. The Giants are also pursuing Mark Loretta and David Weathers.
The Giants sure do have alot of holes to fill.
Jermaine Van Buren is now on the Nationals 40 man roster.
And - what have you heard on
And - what have you heard on the Ortho front re Prior injury rumors (if anything)? OR, does he REALLY need psychiactric help, not physical?
They say he has a "loose" shoulder and it just needs strengthening.
my take is he needs a good gynecologist.
The Lofton tank, when empty, will still be good on the bench. He knows how to win. I've heard that the Pie is still in the Cubs plans. I'd expect they can find a good trading partner using Ronnie Cedeno as the prospect chip...since he's not going to be getting much action unless Izturis leg falls off...and even then I'd rather see Theriot getting the next shot.
I don't think Ronnie Cedeno
I don't think Ronnie Cedeno would really be much of a sweetner in a trade. But after his '06 season I think his being added to a deal could possibly bring some spare parts for a pitching machine or rakes and hoses for the grounds crew.
No to Kenny Lofton. Just too
No to Kenny Lofton.
Just too old.
Worst contract-
Woody Williams!! holy crap. The Astros will have to close Crawford box for all the fans getting killed when Williams pitches.
I would like to get Roberts with Mamu in LF and Soriano in Rf. Trade JJ and Pie for a starter.
If JJ stays maybe LouPa can get to him and get his head out of his ass with the baserunning and worrying about the fans.
While I"m sure Ronnie Cedeno
While I"m sure Ronnie Cedeno would never be a centerpiece to a trade, I would feel confident that he could be one of those guys that gets added to the deal at the end to put it over the top, like Sergio Mitre in the Juan Pierre deal. The fact that Neifi Perez, Jose Macias, and Tom Goodwin can find jobs places would lead me to believe that somebody, somewhere will find a modicum of value in Ronny Cedeno.
I think the Royals would be
I think the Royals would be happy to take Cedeno off the Cubs' hands.
What's a 'Mamu'?
I think the Matthews deal is the worst of the contracts by far. Followed by Pierre's and Soriano's.
We need OBP help, so I like
We need OBP help, so I like the Lofton idea for 2007. It looks like it's actually a good time to have a cheap one year band-aid. We should spend a few million on Lofton, then use JJ and the rest of the budget on pitching. The lineup would look like this:
Player 3 year avg avg/obp/slg
If Theriot can play SS every day I'd take him in a heartbeat over Izturis. What do you think?
"I think the Matthews deal
"I think the Matthews deal is the worst of the contracts by far. Followed by Pierre's and Soriano's."
Neal: How long have you been a Cub fan? How many games a year do you go to?
Me? 40+ years as a Cub fan. IF, again - IF - Soriano is the catalyst that brings the Cubs to a World Series, it is the BEST FUCKING CONTRACT they ever signed a player to.
Its NOT YOUR money, is it?

Let's not be challenging each other's Cubs Fan Bonafides. We're all hear to see our team win.
I believe Ronny Cedeno has
I believe Ronny Cedeno has more trade value than you guys think. His value has gone down since his crappy '06 season. However, he's young and he did have a couple stretches where he showed flashes of a good ballplayer. He would not be the centerpiece of a big deal but could be the piece that makes the other team pull the trigger.
And enough of the damn Kenny Lofton talk. Also no way to Roberts. Pie would probably put up similar numbers to those of Lofton or Roberts.
"Let's not be challenging
"Let's not be challenging each other's Cubs Fan Bonafides. We're all hear to see our team win."
Yes we're all HERE for this. But, it is amazing for some TCR "analysts" to assert their negative viewpoints at even the most positive of news.
In light of the GM totally sucking-ass for 2+ years, we should be rejoicing at the mere FACT that he went ahead and signed the #1 and 1a FA's available.
All SOME of the TCR bloggers can do is bitch about the length of the contracts, or the money! Yet more than likely, those same people would complain had the Cubs signed the folks that weren't at the top of the charts, remarking that the CUBS never go after the top guys!
I was one who have NEVER thought Hendry would have been able to pull of magnitude-deals.
I was wrong and happily admit it. For better or worse (mostly worse), the tack re have recently taken has failed miserably. Time to try another method - $$ and contract years be damned!
We DESERVE it!
And the absolute only thing
And the absolute only thing that some bloggers can do is generalize.
I wonder if they had grown up in an alternate universe where the sky is pink, if they's use fewer counter-factuals when making arguments?
Should we really rely on rhetorical questions?
People who challenge my use of ad hominem attacks are mommy-loving terrorist morons.
Using Reductio Ad Absurdum arguments is a slippery slope where you wind up simply arguing for nihilism.
Circular logic is a problem for people who don't know how to use it right. The fact that I'm using it right is proof that it's not a problem for me.
This is fun!
You don't need left handed
You don't need left handed hitters if most of your lineup hits both LH and RH pitching well.
The Cardinals are a RH heavy lineup but their players for the most part hit well against both types of pitchers.
We got Soriano, Lee, Murton, Ramirez, Barrett who hit RH and LH pitching.
Jones crushes righties, DeRosa crushes lefties, and Izturis can't hit from either side of the plate.
It is a fairly solid lineup now with the addition of Soriano. I can now live with Izturis playing nothing but defense and hitting like Neifi.

sure looks like somebody
sure looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the dugout today...
somewhere further up the thread, the idea of swapping felix pie for a starter surfaced. my 2 virtual cents vote "no", for two non-quantifiable and emotional reasons:
1. pie is the only position player the cubs have who is on the cusp of being major league ready; that type of salary relief is vital with lee/aram/soriano/z on the books and
2. with the (apparent) logjam in the bullpen in a marketplace that is woefully thin, hendry ought to be able to spin some of those arms into one or more starters. i still have expectations that the cubs and whitesox will make a trade along those lines, with a starter heading to the nl and a couple of relievers heading to the cell. makes too much sense for both clubs; isn't that the goal of a trade?
makes sense to me, DC!
makes sense to me, DC! There's also the Corey factor: We botched up Corey I, I'd rather see us hang on to Corey II and Corey III (pie and E. patt.) and see them blossom as Cubs.
I wonder if I wrote a flattering review of Pat Hughes' CD, if he'd stop by and answer some questions: would help him hawk his CD, and would give us a neat treat at TCR...
Pretty good idea Trans, I

I was using Pie because he is the Cubs most valuable chip. I believe this team has about a two-three year window to win it.
Now if Pie can not help by them they should move him for a good starting pitching.
But I do know what you mean.
Re: The contract the Astros
Re: The contract the Astros just handed Lee, in conjunction with the Pierre and Matthews contracts, is beginning to make that Soriano deal almost sort of look like something kind of reasonable.
I agree 100% and actually posted a similar comment on the TSN boards:
I agree that Pierre and Lil' Sarge both appear to have made off like bandits.
These deals, as well as the others, make me wonder what a player who was valued at 4M/yr a few years ago is worth in today's baseball market.
When decent players who aren't really difference makers are worth this kind of money, the amounts the Cubs handed to Soriano, Ramirez, and even DeRosa seem fiscally responsible. And as a Cub fan I was initially worried that they would come off as desperate rather than aggressive. Not that we aren't.
I know MLB and the union had a quick re-up this year. I have to imagine that the dollars are known to be there, and a good part of that money should go to the players. But that doesn't make these deals make sense from the perspective we, the fans, are accustomed to.
Is there a new league minimum of 2M/yr? Last year the minimum was 327,000.

Nice dig at the Cardinals Steve!!!!
I liked what Stoney said
I liked what Stoney said about Soriano in the leadoff spot. It's true, Alfonso struggles with the breaking pitches, so keeping him where he hits more fastballs does make more sense. In that light it almost seems like he's more likely to hit 40 HRs leading off than hitting fourth or fifth.
The last time Arizona and Milwaukee traded the Phoenix U-Haul ran out of trucks. I think Arizona did better in this deal. Milwuakee got some nice pieces but Doug Davis is underrated and will do well in the West.

Glad to see Davis leave the Brew Crew. Now lets hope someone blows Melvin away and can pry Capuano away from the Brewers. When he takes the mound against the Cubs, it's pretty much a guaranteed loss.
It would have been great if the Cubs could have traded for Davis, but Melvin is a pretty shrewd GM and probably would be opposed to helping the Cubs out, even if it meant helping himself out in the process. Littlefield, on the other hand...
As for trading JJ, it makes little sense unless the Cubs think they have a shot at JD Drew or plan on calling Pie up. I agree with a lot of the posters who say that if a batter can hit LHP and RHP, it doesn't really matter. It would still be nice to have a lefty in there, but it's not essential for guys like Lee, Murton, and Ramirez. So, IMO, trading Jones really only makes sense if you can put in a far better option (which, for 125 games out of the year, Drew would be; Pagan would probably fill in for all of the hangnails that force Drew on the bench) or if you want to save money while filling another hole (in which case Pie, who would provide great defense and could hit at the bottom of the order, would make sense) like SP. I think we could probably get Greinke for JJ+ young pitching prospect (Guzman? Ryu?), and I'm pretty sure we could get Maholm or Duke from Pittsburgh for Jones straight-up (Dave Littlefield's favorite charity is the Chicago Cubs). If the Cubs can't get a good young SP for Jones, why trade a serviceable outfielder who provides power and, at worst, can be platooned with a righty off the bench (i.e. shift DeRosa to RF and put Theriot in at 2B against LHSP) and has a relatively affordable contract?
On the Soriano deal-- In
On the Soriano deal--
In years 7 & 8, let's assume Soriano is a .275 hitter who can still hit 30 HR, play a decent LF and still has a strong throwing arm. Obviously, he is not likely to still be a base stealing threat.
What do you think the "market value" of such a player will be in 2014 and 2015? If salaries continue to inflate at their recent trends, Soriano may be a reasonable value then. If salaries grow 10% annually, Soriano's $17MM deal in year 7 and 8 will be worth about $8MM-$9MM in today's dollars. Not all that bad in terms of value.
Also -- crap teams, who play in cold weather and in outdated facilities, need to overpay to get high quality players, unless those players already feel a strong tie to Chicago (A-Ram, Woody). How could it possibly be otherwise??
Wow, the aftermath of Black
Wow, the aftermath of Black Friday sure gets people pissy.

As an Astros fan (who lives on the North Side, incidentally): He may be chubby, with bad projections for the future, but the guy can mash. It's an over-paying year, and I'm sure glad that we did, because I watched Houston struggle to hit a ball out of the infield like they were eight Ronny Cedenos and one Berkman.
It's easy to get angry at a massive deal, but it's worse when nothing happens at all. And let's hope it's time to say that Stros GM Tim Purpura knows what he's doing.

We went through this a year ago when our most valuble player wanted to DH in the WBC.
This sort of potential injury risk puts my sack in my throught, but on the other hand, at least he's not taking Scott Eyre or Glendon Rusch's approach when it comes to acting out what it means to be a Cub.
The son wants to be ready to earn his keep. Barring horrific injury, a kidnapping, or improper alignment of the stars, he wants to use a winterball experience to his advantage. This drive to excel is well beyond what we'd expect out of a man that would command this sort of contract. He must have been inspired by Jim Hendry's passion for winning.
Mince me.
"And let's hope it's time to

Point well-taken, just figured I'd speak the native language.
On another note, it's good to see a big money player in Soriano take things back to the old school and play winter ball (or to try, anyway). Things have gotten too fragile. Injuries can happen anywhere (read Kent, J. and Alou, M.), by which I mean position player injuries, with the obvious exception being over-pitching.
If you want a player to be great, you've got to want him to challenge himself year-round, and to do the same things that he did as a rookie in order to get to the Big Leagues in the first place.
"What do you think the
"What do you think the "market value" of such a player will be in 2014 and 2015?"
I believe the Vegas Pitbosses of the AL West-Central may want him, but you can never tell what the owner of the National League Tokyo Godzillas may have up his sleeve.
Alamosweet, better get Lee a first baseman's mitt in a hurry, or hope the Astros are moved to the AL.
Like the Woody Williams signing though, from a Cubs fan pov.
"BAD" Contracts. The below
"BAD" Contracts. The below is from the Tampa meetings:
We at ESPN.com surveyed 20 general managers, assistant GMs, and assorted scouts and personnel people for their takes on six hot stove questions of interest. Here's how they responded:
If you asked this question in the spring, when Soriano was a man without a position and Lee was fresh off a 30-homer, 100-RBI season in Milwaukee, the vote might have been closer. Judging from our poll, Soriano helped his cause significantly in 2006, while Lee raised a few questions.
Soriano made positive strides in the outfield after his initial resistance and became the fourth player in history to hit 40 homers and steal 40 bases in a season. It remains to be seen whether he'll sign a Carlos Beltran-type deal, but teams love his athleticism, energy, and rare blend of power and speed.
"Even if he doesn't hit a homer, he can find a way to get in scoring position," a Soriano booster said. "He can score from first on a double. Carlos Lee is a great hitter, but he's a liability defensively and he clogs up the bases."
Lee turned down a four-year, $48 million contract offer from Milwaukee in July, and the Brewers sent him to Texas at the deadline. Lee finished with a .300 batting average, 37 homers, 116 RBI and a .540 slugging percentage, but doubts remain about his poor defense and his dietary habits.
Lee has never struck out 100 times and has decent plate discipline. His biggest shortcoming is a lack of dinner plate discipline. The buzz is that he surpassed 270 pounds last season, and baseball people wonder: If he got that big with a huge payday at stake, how much of a wide-body could he be halfway through a five-year deal?
Even some of the compliments directed toward Lee weren't particularly flattering.
"He has surprising speed for a big, fat guy," an NL scout said.
C. Lee is a base-clogger,
C. Lee is a base-clogger, lol.... Dusty strikes again.
Brewers-Cubs trade...basically a move to get cheap starting pitching down the road for teh Brewers...Davis was heading into his last year of club control, but the Brewers get three years of Claudio Vargas...Krynzel is at best a #4 OF/defensive guy, not worth much...Eveland could turn into a 4/5 starter or decent bullpen guy but has thusfar been an AAAA guy.

Hate to give the Mets credit, but they did everything right tonight in what had to be a very tough game for them to play. As Hollandsworth said on the Cubs post-game -- if you watched the game, you saw Mets players consoling Marlins players who were in tears during the game.

HOMETOWN: Detroit
LATEST GIGS: A second season of MTV's Pimp My Ride, two films and a new CD
•Pimp my career: The rapper has parlayed his gig on Ride—in which he gleefully oversees the crew are West Cost Customs as they spiff up cash-strapped young drivers' junky cars—into roles in two action flicks, Full Clip and the sequel to XXX. "The show just so happened to showcase a side of my personality that you wouldn't have gotten to see unless you lived in my house with me," he says. His first CD in over two years, Weapons of Mass Destruction" due Pee. 14, shows yet another side: "Political," he says, "and very topical."
•Laugh track: Xzibit (real name: Alvin Joiner) credits his mom, who died of caneer when he was 9, with his goofball sense of humor. "She had me watch Saturday Night Live arid The Muppet Show," says Xzibit, who lived with his father in New Mexico before moving to L.A. on his own at age 17.
•Heaven can wait: Hosting the MTV Europe Music Awards in Rome last month, the rapper—a big Da Vinci Code fan—hit the sights, with one exception. "Everybody wanted to take me to the Vatican, but I only had 15-20 minutes so I was like, no way. Running in and out, that's like giving God a high-five. You just can't do that."
•Riding high: Living in a five-bedroom hillside pad in suburban L.A., the unattached Xzibit, who has a son, Tremayne, 9, owns just two rides: a 2003 Hummer and a 2002 Mercedes-Benz. But, he's quick to note, "They were pimped long before the show."
