For one thing, the world series won't end. When I suggested a million inning tie? I was kidding. Apparently it isn't always sunny in Philadelphia. Not that I care.
Read the male bag yesterday. Or is it mail bag? Should be the former because it contains a scrotum's full of info. Two things caught my interest and one made me say "uh oh"
Of interest. We can't have Manny because we have Soriano. Period. Maybe there's a law I don't know about. Of interest. Hoffpauir can't play first unless Derrek Lee agrees to share. Uh-oh. Felix Pie is out of options and WILL make the big league team next year. So, we have to carry this guy whether he can cut it or not? Instead of who? Hoffpauir? Edmonds? So what do we do with the Japanese Pie?
How come OUR prospects always turn into Felix Pie (or Corey Patterson, or whoever) and other teams end up with guys like BJ Upton, Jacoby Ellsbury, Denard Span, Jay Bruce, Nate McLouth and so on. Is it so hard to develop good young outfielders? Or just for the Cubs?
Yeah, yeah. Geovany Soto worked out nicely. I hear you. How many Bobby Hills and Kevin Ories do we need to live through for every good one like Soto? And why no outfielders? Who was the last good outfielder to come through our system, and stick?
Well, with Pie on the roster all year, at least we don't have to worry about who's going to bat in that pesky 8 spot.
I will be out of town, sans laptop (that means without it, Smitty) until Wednesday night -- so you are going to have to live with Shermrants for a couple of days. Here's what I suggest. Go back and read some of the older ones.

when you get back, check out Desipio and their take on the ridiculous notion that the Cubs have a shot at getting Peavy in a 3 way which would also include dumping Marquis. It's hot stove fantasy-land time in Chi-town baby.
Only saw 2/3 of an inning last night, rained so hard there were rooster tails on ground balls, amused by the lack of finality.
I told you a couple of weeks ago that we couldn't have Manny and ALf in the same outfield, The ball would have to stop rolling to be picked up, or Pie would be needed to cover it ALL.
There is a story in the Trib this AM about interest in Adm Dunn. Think how bad an outfield we could have.
Speaking of Pie, his being out of options likely makes him trade bait, but other pieces would have to fall in place. Whether DP Lee is persuaded to head home to Cal is the lynch pin.
The more I read the muskrat's mailbag, the more I realize I could write it from home.
You mentioned Jake Peavy in a three way. Somewhere Mark DeCarlo's ears just perked up.
Soriano in center with Manny and Dunn at the corners. Team era would go up four points.
What's wrong with writing from home?
The emphasis should have been on ..."I could write it"...
Been noodling on Alf, Manny and Dunn in the outfield. They could then rename Wrigley to Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck Field. The 3 most used words would be "you get it."
