  1. the way they're talking about tiger woods, you'd think he hadn't picked up a golf club in five years.
  2. perhaps there should be somebody involved with quality control so that a misspelled jersey does not end up on the field.
  3. i wouldn't really mind if he sucks and gets sent down relatively soon because i think he still has things to work on at the minor league level. pie was a different situation because he beat up AAA pitching every time he was down there; what he needed was a manager who wasn't a spaz and would stick with a young guy who struggles for more than three games.
  4. yeah like felix pie going 0-4 three games in a row and then lou pulling the plug on him. good luck in iowa, you bum!
  5. i agree with you on both counts. i think the cubs will keep him around - let's hope if they do that it's something like a 2-year deal, not 4 or 5... maybe they've seen the soriano of their ways. but he'd be useful to a team at the trade deadline, either a contending NL team with an unproductive or injured 1B, or AL teams with similar problems at either 1B or DH. teams like the braves, dodgers, mets (probably won't be contending), a's, giants, mariners and rangers could be interested in him as a rental.
  6. Not completely untradable, but his no trade rights make it virtually so. ](*,) forgot about that. while we're on the subject, what do y'all think will happen with lee after this season? i don't know if resigning a player his age is a great move, but there isn't a logical in-house replacement at this point.
  7. derrek lee is untradeable??? you either have no idea what his contract is or do not understand baseball and player valuation.
  8. 1. wrong color green 2. the whole quote is "wait the cubs haven't won a world series in 102 years? can someone point me to the yankees message board, i'm gonna go root for them." 3. you're embarrassing yourself
  9. jason motte just gave up a walkoff to jonny gomes. it's still fun to root against the cards, even if we blow.
  10. 4 way tie at -5 between watson, mickelson, lee westwood and y.e. yang i just saw some guy chip in from the sand trap... that's not that notable, but the fact that he was wearing a button-down shirt and tie is kinda weird.
  11. i'm excited about the minor league system and players like castro, the jacksons, cashner, hak-ju lee and kyler burke. i guess that counts as this season, right?
  12. The untuck 'em thing is utterly lame, but the Cardinals griping is becoming pathological. teams take on the character of their manager
  13. plus he roots for alabama football and nick saban, which is just as soulless and evil as duke basketball.
  14. mods can you please issue a warning to zoubek; that photo at the beginning of the game thread reached through my computer and fouled me. though to be consistent with the officiating that he normally sees, you should probably just let it go.
  15. You should be the very very last person on this board to accuse anyone of acting stupid. And there is a difference between acting stupid and actually being stupid. I can change. You can't.
  16. i'm looking forward to the minor league teams this year because, let's be honest, the big club probably ain't gonna be so hot in 2010.
  17. You know, I know you're trying to mock me (and failing, I might add), but does it occur to you that you're making yourself look like a bigger idiot than I ever have? Just an FYI. i beg to differ. NSBB is hilarious sometimes. A vaild (yet tired) point is posted, and it's then quoted out of context by people who think they're witty but really just make themselves looking worse than the people they're attempting to mock. i'm just disagreeing that he is making himself look stupider than you ever have on this board.
  18. I'm pretty sure he called Maddux a cheater. he didn't say it explicitly but he insinuated that there was a player on the cubs that had cheated for a long time, and there's little question that he was referring to maddux.
  19. You know, I know you're trying to mock me (and failing, I might add), but does it occur to you that you're making yourself look like a bigger idiot than I ever have? Just an FYI. i beg to differ.
  20. wait the cubs haven't won a world series in 102 years? can someone point me to the yankees message board, i'm gonna go root for them.
