pcgd Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Used to be one of my favorite players. Now, he's a cub. I'm in shock and I can think of no good coming my way from this trade. I'm glad the cardinals don't play the cubs until the postseason. I hope the cubs don't make it. Boston just let out a collective "CO*K-A**" (line from boston based "Boondock Saints")Cubs can have Mr. Mia Hamm. Still 11 games back.peace,pcps: Yes, I'm bitter.

jkrdevil Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Don't worry pcqd, if it comes down to game 7 between the Cubs and Cardinals Nomar will probably sit out because of his achilles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 they traded nomar for a guy who had an gave up an error in the NLCS last year. Well has they said teh Red Sox needed defense. And even thought I would have liked to see a pitcher and a young prospect in t his deal I am happy with it. Good luck Nomah and put that Red Sox hat in the hall of fame.

Waffles Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Wouldn't Chicago apply its own accent to Nomar i.e. Ditka becoming "Dika"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival79 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Michael Barrett is still listed as #5 on the Cubs website. I wonder what Nomar will go with if he can't get #5 from him?Michael Barrett 5 | C Current Status: Active "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

I wonder what Nomar will go with if he can't get #5 from him?Michael Barrett 5 | C Current Status: Active He'll buy the number off Barrett, most likely. Probably cut him a check for $15,000 or some such. It's not unheard of.BTW, what the heck is a catcher doing with a single-digit number, anyway? Bad catcher karma, no?

DEAD! Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 How about just being a member of the Cubs is bad karma. How about Nomar wear #55? So I'll take back my previous post. Gonzalez went to Montreal. It's now a 4-way deal.The most intersting part of the deal was Doug Mientkiewicz went from Minnesota to Boston. Guess who Boston's playing? Minnesota. Imagine during practice someone comes up to you and say, "you have been traded .... to the opposing team"Mientkiewicz was in his Twins' gear at the Metrodome several hours before gametime, talking to reporters, when bench coach Steve Liddle interrupted the session and took him away.A little later, Mientkiewicz was dressed in a Red Sox uniform, getting ready to start against the Twins. He got a rousing ovation from his old fans when he was introduced, and his picture on the scoreboard already had him in a Boston hat and jersey. I saw, I came, I left.

jkrdevil Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 BTW, what the heck is a catcher doing with a single-digit number, anyway? Bad catcher karma, no? I wouldn't think so . Both Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra wore number 8 as catchers and they are in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCHitman Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 they traded nomar for a guy who had an gave up an error in the NLCS last year. NO, Gonzalez went to Montreal.Boston got O Cabrera who, IMP, is the best defensive SS in the NL behind Renteria.Boston just got alot better at SS in the field.

Discrim Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 i'd heard the deal had been in the works, although i'd also heard the Bosox wanted Clement. Bootsy's gone, and we have a guy who produces with the bat and glove ALL of the time instead of most of the time A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Bootsy's gone, and we have a guy who produces with the bat and glove ALL of the time instead of most of the time really? who'd you get besides Nomah?Nomar was a very good hitter. WAS. Over the last few years his offensive skills have started to decline as his injuries became more frequent. More first-pitch swinging and pop-ups. Last year was brutal...he left a lot of runners in scoring position, especially if he came up with 2 outs.You could even question his heart. Why else would he sit on the bench against the Yankees and sulk the while time? As much of a contributor he's been over the years, he had been developing a prima-donna attitude in the clubhouse. He was by no means a cancer, but he wasn't the happiest of players even during his more productive seasons.If he turns out to be an awesome player again in Chicago, that's great. But the Red Sox have learned to live without him. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 The word on the Cubs Message Board is that Nomar will be wearing #8 tomorrow.
