    Gregg lost his job at the end of the season. Big whoop.

    Gregg had a knee injury at the end of the season. That should be of concern to the Cubs.

    This is the end of Kerry Wood with the Cubs...it'll be weird to see him in another new uniform.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Imagine him in a Cards uniform because it could very well happen.

    somewhat, but you know if they re-signed Wood, he'd end up with a blown Cuff and a Blown Elbow BOTH.

    That's only because they lower our expectations of them by using the offseason to play themselves down to the Nationals.

    Or they have more talent than we give them credit for. Yeah, I think that's it.

    Which is Loria's fault that he deconstructs his team to resemble the Nationals on paper.

    Because they don't have big name players? Who gives a shit! They play good ball while being paid pennies compared to other teams. Loria always gets good talent. The Nationals, not so much. If the Marlins played in the West, they would be in the playoffs.

    Um, you do. You love to argue that they overachieve, based on the idea that they weren't supposed to be good because they sold off their big name players.

    If they don't sell off their players, we might expect them to win 90+ games instead of always being pleasantly surprised that they win 80.

    I say they keep exceeding expectations because everyone thinks exactly that!! All of you keep complaining about their payroll but yet they keep on winning. Nobody gives them a chance but yet they keep on winning. Find one Marlins fan that thought the Marlins would win 90 games. Find me one that thought they would win 80 games. No one on here or in the media anywhere thought the Marlins would be as good as they did. They finished just 7.5 games behind the World Champions!! Its time to catch on that the Marlins know what they are doing.
