I agree. And with them, the Reds, the Cards, and us(?), it's all of a sudden a very good division.

You know we've made shitload of more "bold" moves then them, right?

[rok]

Over the years, we definitely have, but I think Butch is referring to the past couple seasons, and I agree with his sentiment.

[jeffy]

Unless something miraculous happens, we'll be lucky to finish above 4th.

[MW4]

hmmm...Let's see

Anxiety disorder

Moving to a new city
New Apartment/house/neighbors
New ballclub
New pitching coach
New manager
New hitters to know
New Catcher
New diet of cheese and bratwurst

He'll have more losses than wins, mark it down.

No DH.

[Runnys]

Greinke has had one good year in his career...the rest of his career has been mediocre.

Can we start the countdown to your next "I'm leaving forever, delete my account" thread?

Well I guess we can reset our "Kid attacks Runnys apropos of nothing" countdown.

[Kid]

Attacks?

[Butcher]

Wow. The Brewers gave up jack shit to get him. We could have easily beat that deal. And I'd much rather have Greinke than Garza (if we're still looking to make that deal).

It was just a joke, hombre.

Actually, I would rather have Garza long-term. That puts me in the minority, for sure, but that's fine. Greinke is mostly a high risk/high reward proposition. Not saying that I wouldn't take him in a heartbeat, but Garza has been steadier, more durable, and has balls. He still has plenty of upside, and will cost less.

Oh, and we aren't getting him either.

I don't know about that - I think if the deal was for equivalent Cubs prospects (guys we know and have come to appreciate), we'd think it was a lot.
