uhhhhhh

ahhh [expletive] mexico
-
apparently it takes 75 people to pick balls out of a hopper or whatever the hell they do.
-
watching all the [expletive] they're doing except announcing the draws, i kind of wish i didn't have a tv.
-
i've had the tv muted for about 15 minutes now. definitely don't give a [expletive] about this ridiculous looking band or dance ensemble or whatever the hell this is.

The reason is simple, Hendry didn't sign Polanco. could be that. or it could be that polanco been worth 3 to 3.5 wins a year over the past 5 years and grabow has been worth barely over 1. same thing, basically.
-
polanco is better than grabow.

Padres Name Dick Enberg Play-by-Play Announcer
TruffleShuffle replied to NCCubFan's topic in General Baseball Talk
dick enberg hardly even knows where he is right now. -
You would be wrong. With regards to the trades he mentioned?? absolutely. Hendry traded a dependable reliever, a all star caliber setup man, a mediocre first basemen and a utility player. For garbage and rich harden. so three years of a catcher putting up an OPS around .840 is garbage? good one.

Vicente Padilla?
TruffleShuffle replied to Keener98's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
weirdly enough, his stuff his pretty good, but he doesn't get people out very well. -
good, [expletive] you miles. he should either be physically out of chicago by daybreak or be run out of town by an angry mob wielding pitchforks and torches.

This offseason will make or break Jim Hendry
TruffleShuffle replied to utkcub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i can think of plenty. ned colletti, brian sabean, ed wade, j.p. ricciardi (yes he was canned but he got a ton of rope). colletti has been the beneficiary of a great farm system but hands out dumb contracts like candy; sabean, aside from his scouts finding some really good pitchers, has consistently fielded a team of washed-up veterans, wade has completely pillaged the minor league system to field a mediocre big league club. the cubs might be poorly positioned now but i can't say that hendry has been worse than those guys, and a few others. -
there have been some pretty big negatives - steroid stuff, the way the expos and twins were handled during the contraction business, various cities essentially being strong-armed into paying for new ballparks (although this isn't just specific to baseball). but overall, i think one has to look at how the visibility and access to the game have grown greatly; MLB's overall revenue has increased by more than 500 percent since selig became commissioner, the wild card has been a huge success, interleague play has been a success, and the world baseball classic - while having a lukewarm reception in the U.S. - has been very successful abroad. besides the 1994 strike, they've managed to have all this money coming in without a significant work stoppage, despite the mlb players' union being the strongest in all of sports. franchises have become drastically more valuable and even average players have gotten very rich. i know that everyone hates bud selig, but frankly i think he's been one of the best commissioners in mlb history and should be in the hall of fame.

\ Football reference agrees on the best ever statement as well: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=4919 I think one the most amazing things to me is that the Saints were already pulling on the reins near the end of the third quarter and running the clock. Brees probably could have had 7 TD's in that game if he had to. i don't get this: who was wondering that???? he's probably having his best year; his yards/game is down from last year because their running game is improved and they're often beating teams so handily in the second half that there's no reason to pass the ball, but he's got his best completion %, by his best yards/pass, his best td %, and one of his lowest int %.

Ive always been a fan of Polanco and his oddly shaped cranium, but 3/18mil? Even if he wasnt 34 years old, that would sound like a lot for him. I guess Ibanez worked out for them so who knows. All I know is if This were the Cubs, there would be people with torches and pitchforks outside Hednrys door. well the people with torches and pitchforks would be stupid, because polanco is a very good defender, pretty solid hitter and generally worth a contract in that range.

bo ryan looks like a high school principal who smokes 2 packs a day.

53-12 at halftime? lol.
-
that's why i don't really like beilein. 9-34 (26.5%) downtown, and more than half their shots were threes. to me, his style just relies too heavily on the three and when the team has an off night, they don't have much of a chance. plus i just feel like watching a team pass the ball around on the perimeter and chucking up a three is boring basketball.

If Artest was smart, he'd just write a tell-all book like Agassi did. I mean, he's obviously more than willing to tell people about the things he did, why not make money off of it? I'd absolutely read an Artest autobiography. agreed. bottle up the crazy and then let it all pour out after you retire. he'd make a killing.
