Too old to keep playing? No. Too old to play the kind of football the packers play? Yes. Give Favre a better location and he will be fine the next 2-3yrs. I think Bret still has a good arm and pocket presence. As they say, all good things come to an end. I am talking about the team in general, not Favre.

I think they have improved their hitting and leadoff spot which has been hurting them for years now. I wish they'd either get rid of Kerry Wood or move him to the bullpen. But I think they'll have a solid bullpen this year which was killing them last year. Oh, and watch for them to manufacture runs with Pierre and Hairston batting 1 and 2. I don't think they'll rely so heavily on the homerun ball this year. Don't give up on this season even if they start slow. We want them to peak at the end of the season. Yes, I bleed blue. White Suks!!!! Go Cubs!!!!

No, essentially because of their weak starting pitching staff. Brandon Webb is superb, but currently their other 4 have been extremely inconsistent. Their offense is solid and they now have a decent bullpen. However, IMHO, they will need, at least, one more reliable starter. I'm a big fan, but believe they'll finish 2nd in the weakest division in MLB.

I'm also an Angels fan.  I think we're getting better.  We really need colon and  erstad back.  We've had too many injuries, and our rookies weren't as good as they were supposed to be.  Morales, Napoli, and Jered Weaver are a nice surprise.  I don't know why we still pitch Jeff Weaver.  It seems like we always lose by a lot when he plays.  I think some of our youngsters in AAA might be better.

I don't think so.  According to my memory, Bonds didn't start on doubleheaders often.  Alou is 39, kind of old too.  Start two old guys for 6-7 hours a day?  Maybe not.

His control is getting worse for the last three years.  His WHIP has been increasing too.  He is still good, but no as good as before.  He is still capable to witn 15+ games, but not too many Ks should be expected.\n\nSafe bet, yes.  But it's hard for him to keep this sharp for the rest of the season.

As any die hard Cubs fan knows, the answer to this ? is easily answered with.\n\n\nNext Year!

he is stil the man.  don't believe anything until it is proven.  big mac was a great cardinal.  Look up to Albert Pujols now.

I think he's going to end up on the DL again he just doesn't look like he's completely healthy. His last two starts have not been that impressive. His velocity has not been up it's in the mid 80s and he's normally in the low 90s, plus he's been giving up to many home runs.\n\nJune 24\n5.2 IP, 8 hits, 4 runs, 4 er, 2 hr, 2 bb, 4 k, 5.74 era\n\nJune 19\n7.0 IP, 9 hits, 4 runs, 2 er, 2 hr, 1 bb, 5 k, 5.57 era

It seems very likely and it would be a good move on their part. Roethlisberger may not be ready for the beginning of the season. Maddox has proven he can run the offense in Pittsburgh, but for some reason, nowhere else in the NFL.

If they're given enough time, eventually. It probably won't happen anytime in the extremely new future, but trades and talent can turn any franchise around. It's just that it's taking the Cubs longer than anyone to turn it around. Eventually, rest assured.

Too early to say be he is deffinitely on pace to do it. When he's 35 and he's still hitting 40+ HRs it is time to consider him a serious cantidate. Most players rely on pure raw skill for their hitting ability. Between the ages of 29-33 most have lost enough eyesight and reflexes that they start to suffer a serious decline. Pitchers learn the new weak spots and the hitter is mostly done if they cannot adapt and be a smarter hitter. \n\nPujos is another that shows potential but again it is way too early too tell.

Brett at 50 is still going to be one of the best in the game. They guy should stay as long as he wants. He's a three time MVP, a leader, and a football player until he dies. His arm is sharp, his mental awareness is still good. He just needs a line and a supportive running game. Look at John Elway, as his career got longer they took a lot of the pressure off of Elway by giving  him a great running game. That is not happening for Brett, he's still carrying the entire team. He's a little past his prime to be carrying a bunch of lazy players. And on top of it all his line is lucky to give him 2-3 seconds in the pocket. He's almost running like David Carr is in Houston. And his running game is just horrible! With a better team around him, Brett will be back, if not I'm sure he'll retire. But like I said, he's still one of the best in the game. Just like Junior Seau, Mark Brunell, and Orlando Pace. Old men who just have football in their blood - they are all still great, just a bit past their prime.

Haha Barry bonds is a chicken. Wouldnt even fight Springer last night. Then again, he would get his *** kicked as his body is old and crippled enough.\n\nIf you were on his team and he charged the mound, would you back him up? Didnt think so. Doubt his teammates would either. The sooner he retires, the better for the game.

they dont have much left\n\nhow old is soriano 30 or 31?\n\nthey really signed a person in his 30s to an 8 year contract\n\ni mean he's worth 17 million now, \n\nbut in his late 30s, or even early 40s, with him making 17 million, will not be good\n\nbut to answer your question\n\nthe cubs signed mark derosa to a 3 yr/13 million dolalr contract\nthey signed henry blanco to a 2 yr/5.25 million dollar contract\nthey signed kerry wood to a 1 yr/1.75 million dollar contract\nthey signed aramis ramirez to a 5 yr/ 75 million dollar contract\nand of course will sign soriano to a 8 yr/136 million dollar contract\n\nso in 07 \n\nderosa makes: 4.3 million\nblanco makes: 1.8 million\nwood makes: 1.75 million\nramirez makes: 15 million\nsoriano makes: 17 million\n\nso lets see that is a total of 39.85, or around 40 million\nthe cubs payroll is $94,424,499 or around 94.5 million\n\nso 94.5 - 40= 54.5 million dollars\n\nso they have spent a little less than half their payroll\n\nand guess what, they won't win a world series

Yes.  Check out the VH1 Supergroup show.  Ted's the lead guitarist trying to hang with guys 20 or 30 years younger.  And I'd have to stay that he's the backbone of the group.  But at the same time he can be a real stubborn a** and wants to control everything his way.  That's tough to do in a group.  I'll also give him a lot of credit for being a clean and sober rocker.  Hard to find these days!
