This whole rumor is giving me a fever.....

I'm hot blooded, check in and see!

I've got a fever of a hundred and three!

C'mon baby do you do more than dance?

I'm hot blooded, hot blooded!

Pie is going to be a FANTASTIC player!

Let's hope so. I'll even take Pie is going to be a SOLID player!

He'll be solid and then progress to fantastic. I have confidence in Pie producing. The key is playing time and this year is the year for him to get that.
Meph disagrees. :mrgreen:

who's Meph? oh, right, the nsbblol blogger...

Really?
Yes, really.

When was this figured out? I wouldnt have guessed it , particularly given the rant on Meph himself. If so, he loses serious credibility. Because while some of it is fair, most of it is just crass.

yes, it's true. long story, but the blogger was him and now he's banned

I just read some of it and holy crap! What's with all the racism?

It was discovered that he was actually a Nazi.

If you're referring to the racism in the comments, that is none other than our old frieds Baseball7897 and Reds44 with a little Omar sprinkled in.

This was posted on mlbtraderumors.com (No not as a post but as a comment to a post) and it gave me a laugh:

The deal is/was Marquis, Soto, Patterson, Colvin and Gallagher for Roberts, Hernandez and Payton.

Angelos was insisting the Cubs add another guy - short name , begins with C, V or P. That was the sticking point.

Not sure what will happen after the blow-up, my guy is not talking - at least to me.

Uh, wow. The Cubs should disband if they make that trade.

(slowly)Ye........ah. That is a very highly unlikely package. The O's ain't getting 4 quality young players for two crappy veterans and a solid young vet. The O's can stop smokin' anytime now, if that is the deal they want.

Can we forget about the nsbblol talk? This thread is dedicated to...oh yeah, never mind.

You would be correct in assuming that, actually, the fever is for more cowbell. Baby.

I'm not surprised at all that Meph was the blogger. It isn't often that you insult somebody by informing everybody how much smarter they are than you. But, how was it discovered that Baseball7897 and Reds44 left those comments?

I know that clip is the Blue Oyster Cult song. I just didn't think of "more cowbell" when I saw "I got a fever" posted. I thought of Hot Blooded. Maybe it's because I've been listening to 80's songs all day.

I will probably get ripped for posting this because my sources aren't what you say the best, but I'm going to post anyway. (That is my way of saying take it with a grain of salt).

I was on the phone with a my fathers friend today, he is also my mortgage broker, and he told me his friend who went down to Arizona and had dinner with Billy Williams and Lou. While they were eating Jim Hendry stopped by the table and they BSed for a little bit. At one point after some ribbing Hendry said that he wants Roberts so bad and before opening day, that he knows he is going to get ripped off a little bit.

I know this has been passed down the food chain a little so this may not be exactly what happened, so take it for what it is worth.

Edit: To fix brain cramp that said Florida in place of Arizona.

Sorry meant Arizona, I was just in Florida so it is still on my mind.

How long ago was this conversation? Lou's been in Arizona the whole last 3 weeks, and Jim probably has been as well. Before that, I don't know of any reason they would have had to go down to Florida together after the winter meetings, and that was 3 full months ago.

Edit: saw your reply.

This was last week and it was in Arizona. Had a mental fart.

Well, at least Jim knows he has a problem. Doesn't look like he'll change his approach though.

RedFlash · March 11, 2008

What? Jim Hendry get ripped off? Never.

Outside of Juan Pierre, I can't think of one trade that Hendry has made in which he got ripped off. And looking back out at it, it wasn't really a ripped off. And before people say what about Dontrelle Willis, I say Matt Clement was better with the Cubs then Willis was with the Marlins. So that wasn't really a ripped off.

So, I don't get what Hendry gets a knocked for being ripped off in trades, when in reality, Hendry has made more good trades (even if they don't turned out as well as expected, ie Nomar) then bad trades.

Now FA, that's a different story.

What would you call Greg Maddux for Cesar Izturis?
