I could see Woo'ds problems, his is all mechanics, but calling this they last shot they have? Come on. Be realistic.

Pedro? Are you kidding me? Hell no. He's on the downside of his career, and just like everyone else who's played for shit teams his entire career with stellar success and numbers, he's going to be a Yankee next year. Woopdee fuggin doo. His shoulder could go at any time. Pedro is no more reliable then Prior or Wood. Schilling? That's almost laughable. Prior's mechanics are flawless, he's had a tough go this year, but he WILL be just fine, I promise you. Wood will be fine, his elbow problems this year were nothing, no MRI showed any damage. His ERA continues to climb because he's on short pitch counts, and he's really not heating up the arm. Don't worry, you'll see how good these guys are come October.

Halladay is on the 15 Day DL with Shoulder problems, again. He's 7-7 with a 4.xx ERA or so... No thanks. Cliff Lee, maybe - somthing to be said about a leftie who can win games. Somthing I think the Cubs have lacked for a long time. His ERA is still almost 5. Mulder, well, who woulden't want Mulder - or Hudson - both of em are studs. But not for Prior, or Wood. They could have Clement and Sammy though.

I hope your not talking about the 4-12 Brandon Webb?

As for Sosa, I'll HELP you pack his bags, Jobu.

The Cubs pitching will be just fine. I'm not a big Kerry Wood fan, but I think he's got alot of good years in him, alot of nasty stuff left to throw. It's his mechanics that are going to hurt him. Trading him however, isn't an option the Cubs have. He has WAY to much upside.

Ok Ok I love ya Cubbies and you are loyal fans, but you want to watch Prior and Wood become bums before your eyes it's ok with me. Just as you think it's a mistake to trade them, I think it's a mistake to keep them and not get as much as possible for them now before they do.

(Webb's ERA is dropping and while not winning it's more the D'backs then him, Lee, his first year in the Majors and in the AL he's showing he can win this year, the ERA will drop next year)
