No love for Romano's in Glen Burnie? Romano's has the best crab cakes around.

I would love to get back to the trade talk, but since this baby has been derailed, I'll go with By the Docks for best crabcake around.

Sounds great. So here it is.

If Roberts goes to the Cubbies, and Pie stays, then Crab Cakes for me.

If Roberts goes to the Cubbies, and Pie goes back, then deep-dish pizza for you.

Yeah, I think this bet will be a wash. I'm starting to seriously doubt that Roberts will be traded.

It is trade talk we are comparing Pie to Roberts.

I would also love to get back to that, but we have another thread going now where bigbird says Roberts is staying and Peace says Roberts is still going after the dust settles. So I don't know, maybe we should let them duke it out.

So Peace do you think Bedard goes before Roberts then?

Yeah, I think the Roberts sting will take time to digest.

Any thought on BB saying he is hearing BRob will stay?

Im hearing Hendry wants him badly still. But again, lets wait a week. It would look odd if they traded Roberts today or this weekend, after yesterday's events.

To be honest, I really don't think it would. But maybe thats just wishful thinking. I think they definitely have to trade Bedard first though, regardless of whether they can move Roberts now.

My guess is Hendry was the NL exec that made those comments about Roberts' trade value...

Sorry for coming to the party late but, what comments? And thanks.

[nyjimbo]

I feel Peace is right on that it would look weird if Roberts was dealt so soon after report came out. My best guess is after the 1st of the year.

I am not sure it would any stranger than the Stros trading for Tejada the day before.

However, if we have to wait a week for it to die down some, then that's ok.

We have plenty of Cubs fans on here right now....I haven't gotten the impression from any of them that they would have any backlash towards the Cubs organization if they traded for BRob.

IMO, if KC will give Jose Guillen a 3 year deal KNOWING he was gonna start the year on a 50 game suspension, then there is nothing in this report that will keep Roberts or anyone else from being looked down upon by anyone in the sport. The fans and media are the ones making a big deal over this, NOT the people inside of baseball.
