    joe cowley is a less offensive, less athletically talented version of rob dibble. also: oh look, another white chicago "journalist" saying that the talented brown guys don't care.

    probably just a slump, then loses ice time. he's the type of player who has negative value if he's not producing offensively, because he's not physical and is a liability defensively. that's not to say he's bad. but it's easier for a player like skille to have value when not finding the score sheet. that said, frolik still has a better ceiling and track record, and florida gave up on him too quickly (and for too small a return).

    how could that be false? i mean, it's not like it leaves unanswered what his family would be doing while he's at oregon, and clearly a gang in los angeles could not track a high-profile athlete to a state just north of california. and oh yeah, oregon still plays road games in los angeles.

    maybe he's still a cardinal mole and they're using him to get revenge for the 2009 playoffs.

    gonna take a lot to beat boston-montreal on wednesday night as game of the year - 14 goals (including 7 in 6 minutes in the 2nd period), a goalie fight, line brawl... this one had it all.

    $24 million of cocaine? how is he getting out of paying taxes?

    no i think i've said all that needed to be said.

    is tallon still working for the blackhawks? i really am trying to see the motivation behind the trade from their side, and i can't. here, take a reasonably productive nhl forward and a goalie prospect for a fourth line center, a middling forward prospect and the biggest bust from possibly the best first round draft in nhl history.

    Wait Philly is a playoff caliber team? Seriously? any team that isn't horrendous is a playoff-caliber team in the eastern conference. there are 5 real teams and then a bunch of teams that range from lousy to historically bad.

    i love when fans of big-time SEC programs accuse other big-time SEC programs of playing dirty in recruiting.

    Like when a guy sleeps with a married woman exactly. glad someone gets it.

    i enjoyed that mark sanchez story on deadspin. especially the part about texting a 17 year old girl on multiple occasions at 2 a.m. asking if she was out or going out. if she's in bed because she has high school the next day and you're away trying to party, maybe that's a sign that your lives are in very different places and you shouldn't be pursing this.

    i'm too lazy to look it up, but i'm pretty sure that person wasn't saying that. very few people think that the cubs will be bad for several years simply because of the payroll resources they have.

    i can confidently say i would be embarrassed if my favorite player did stuff like that. same here. it's a professional wrestling reference, which should be embarrassing to any person over the age of 12 who doesn't consider themself white trash.

    take a look at how much of the reds' WAR last year came from players under 30. 4/5 of their rotation was 24 or under and that's not including volquez, who's 26 and didn't pitch for most of the year. Nobody's denying that the Reds have a good, young team. "Opposite directions," however, implies that the Cubs are moving to become cellar-dwellers like the Pirates for the foreseeable future. They're not. We're going to see a lot of turnover in the very near future of the Cubs getting better and younger. the comment about them going in opposite directions was made last offseason. i don't see how you can say it wasn't true when the cubs looked old and lousy last year while the reds got a huge amount of production out of young players.

    i don't really agree with that. sometimes people make good predictions. i remember one guy last year felt confident that the reds and cubs were going in opposite directions last offseason, said so on this board and got mocked from about 10 different directions. turns out he was right, and it's not like the cubs had wall-to-wall injuries or the reds had miraculous performances from their entire roster - the reds were just a much better team.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    probably not, but nobody thought houston would finish ahead of the cubs last year, so who knows

    but you said last offseason:

    players on my team who are worth having... we get to keep 5. Buster Posey, SF C, 1B Albert Pujols, StL 1B Jose Reyes, NYM SS Carlos Gonzalez, Col OF Joey Votto, Cin 1B Josh Hamilton, Tex OF Tommy Hanson, Atl SP Carlos Marmol, ChC RP Dan Haren, LAA SP Jonathan Sanchez, SF SP Neftali Feliz, Tex RP Clayton Kershaw, LAD SP Francisco Liriano, Min SP pujols and votto are no-brainers... carlos gonzalez is close to a no-brainer. do i keep all offense and also keep posey and either reyes or hamilton? will hamilton be as good as he was last year? (no) which SP would be worth keeping?
