thank god we didn't sign this dude because think of how many lame street fighter jokes we would have had to read during game threads. dodged a bullet.

 

Theo could have signed him if he'd used just a bit more Guile. Should've given the guy a Blanka check.

 

That would have been totally Dhalsim

The rules were kind of Vega, but Ken they try again next year?

If the situation Rose again, they might be Abel to. At least, that's what a little Birdie told me.

Not so good on the Cubs, according to Phil Rogers: “While Hyun-jin Ryu is not yet a big name in North America, losing him was a bigger blow for the Cubs than you probably think. President Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer wanted the rights to the 25-year-old South Korean left-hander because they believe he can step right into a big-league rotation and address a glaring lack of pitching. They had done a lot of homework on him.” Rogers goes on to suggest that the Cubs’ bid was around $20 million, short of the $25.7 million paid by the Dodgers. I’m still somewhat ambivalent on the “loss” – the Cubs know a whole lot more about Ryu than I do, and presumably they had a strong grasp on how they valued him. If the Dodgers valued him differently, well then, for now, we have to accept it. We’ll see who was right in about two years.

Oh, come the [expletive] on; it's like that was written with the specific intention of pissing me off. This better not be Puig pt. 2.

Don't need the soft-tossing lefty. If you guys had been paying attenchun, Li-riano could be better and cheaper.

 

=D>

I was trying really hard to figure out how to use Chun-Li. Well done.

I would have rather not read that. I see both sides of the failed bid, but considering the budget advantage the Cubs have over other teams and the fact that they seem to be primarily focusing on building, clearly the money was there for them to sign Ryu.

Jamison (Hinton, OK) What is your scouting report on Korea's Ryu Hyun-jin. Are the Dodgers doing the right thing is trying to obtain him?

 

Klaw  (1:38 PM) I've only seen video. Scouts I've talked to see him anywhere from impact reliever to fringe #3 starter. I don't like the body and I wish he had a better present breaking ball, because at his age it's unlikely it'll improve. More likely a reliever to me, but again, I didn't see him live and I won't be shocked if he ends up a league-average starter at some point.

Blame IMB.

I drive an E Honda Cammy

 

Am I doing this right?

 

I tried to figure out how to get Sodom in there, and there's just no way.

The amount of money the Dodgers bid on this guy is sodom stupid?
