Ever heard of Bucky Dent? or Robby Thompson? It's not always who you have.

Would Bucky Dent or Robby Thompson get their chance with a substandard lineup around them?

Where have you been... Hill was traded, and Choi is sitting in the minors.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
(if Choi and Hill are as good as advertised) they will definetly be favorites.
Neither one helped the team this year. Yes, it's an average hitting line up. But the pitching is far better than Atlanta has. It should be a good match up.Keep on Civin'

So what if Choi is still in the minors? If he is as good as advertised they will be a favorite in the future. I forgot about Hill, but they probably shouldn't have dealt him though.
And Chicago's pitching isn't FAR better than Atlanta's... unless you meant their starting pitching. Atlanta has better numbers for their relievers.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

With the trade for Randall Simon, Choi may become trade bait like Hill did.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

They've been saying he would be our second baseman of the future for years... and after repeated tries, he still sucked. I'm glad they traded him for Aramis Ramirez.. he is our 3rd baseman for years to come... something the Cubs haven't had in a long time.I forgot about Hill, but they probably shouldn't have dealt him though.
Yes... I meant starting pitching. The Cub's bullpen is average at best.And Chicago's pitching isn't FAR better than Atlanta's... unless you meant their starting pitching.Keep on Civin'

Yeah, I was hoping for an all-Chicago series. Figured it was the only way to guarantee a winner in this town...Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

LET'S-GO-YANKEES!
But, failing that, a Cubs-Red Sox WS would be pretty cool. Imagine the game 7 insanity, as both teams fall all over themselves trying to cough up the game.
