bend over and take what's coming to you, giants
-
so if a person has a 0.08 and kills another driver, does he deserve empathy then? yes, because .08 should not be the legal limit
-
morelli has already made three deep passes into heavy coverage when there were receivers wide open 15-25 yards down the field. he is such a dunce.
-
yeah now the whole nation knows just how awful he is. wtg nfl network.
-
well psu is down 14-0 already, but this is anthony morelli's last game in a penn state uniform, so the way i look at it, we win either way

Probably not. But he also wouldn't if he were changing the song on his Ipod, or grabbing something out of his glove box, or checking out the girl in the car next to him, etc, etc. Everyone does something that distracts them from the road every single time they drive somewhere. Not everyone is a loser that gets drunk and kills someone though. you're a loser if you're talking on your cell phone and you hit someone and kill them, though. you're also far, far less likely to kill someone because you're talking on your cell phone than you are because you're driving drunk. http://unews.utah.edu/p/?r=062206-1 when you talk on a cell phone while driving, you're increasing the likelihood of injuring people around you. same as drunk driving. the degrees may be different, but it's still the same principle. you're being selfish and risking other people's lives when you pick up the cell phone while driving. yeah that's nice, however the study compared the impairment of someone talking on the phone to the impairment of someone who was at a 0.08 - which can be done through as little as three beers. The vast majority of fatalities caused by drunk driving are by people who are considerably above a 0.08.

he lied. in related news, a-rod signed with the texas rangers because they had a strong farm system, and mike hampton signed with the colorado rockies because they had a good schools for his kids to attend. If the Cubs had offered Fukudome the most money, those might be relevant analogies. he chose the cubs over the white sox and more money, not the cubs over the padres and more money. Huh? A-Rod and Hampton took the biggest contracts available. Fukodome did not. That's why yours weren't good analogies. kosuke & his agent never said that money was a factor - in fact, they acknowledged that it was - so this whole conversation is pretty much null and void

i predict that arkansas will win if darren mcfadden is allowed to run people over with his escalade during the game.

Erstad is an Astro
TruffleShuffle replied to Hosak8's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
maybe, but his .375 babip had a lot to do with the big numbers -
that's funny, my source - namely sandy alderson, who happens to be CEO of the padres, says that the padres offered a smaller deal to fukudome than did the cubs.

stop winning sixers :x they'd better trade andre miller before the trade deadline. he's a free agent this offseason, and he's a good point guard who could fetch a pretty solid return from a team that needs a capable PG as a missing piece.

do you want to have wrigley renamed
TruffleShuffle replied to hardcorecubfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
no, the only reason they're going to compete in 2008 is that they're blowing the competition away in payroll with a gm who has made numerous inept decisions and a farm system that totally sucks. the cubs are going to have a payroll close to $125m this season. i don't think people expect the cubs to be the yankees, making the playoffs every year, but with being in the top quarter of mlb salary capabilities, they should certainly be more successful than they have been. you could give this regime $200m a year and they'd still f it up. and i think it's pretty stupid to use "frivolous limits" for not renaming a stadium that has borne the same name for 75 years. somewhere in there, history and nostalgia do play a role. -
yeah unfortunately the other person doesn't have this option

Rank Jim Hendry's offseasons in terms of fake optimism.
TruffleShuffle replied to Omar's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i guess i would put the 2006 team at the bottom, i knew they'd be absolutely horrible. they had several glaring problems and bumbling jim addressed none of them. -
Meph's just doing this to piss of Big 10 fans by the way. He rationalized away BYU's win, saying they didn't deserve to win. He's done it all year with the teams he "knows" are better and really deserved to win. He put 32 points on Purdue, he knows Purdue is the far superior team to CMU. didn't know that.... lawl, busted
-
i voted colletti. he is the gm of a team whose payroll capabilities are either first or second in the national league, and also inherited a farm system that was absolutely loaded with talent. the owner has dedicated significant resources to signing young international talent and setting up top-quality scouting and development programs in latin american countries. yet despite this, the dodgers didn't make the playoffs last year, and are not anywhere close to being overwhelming favorites in the national league. plus the juan pierre signing may be the worst contract ever given out in major league baseball.

In which of these games do you believe the Big Ten is going to pull off the upset? I have wisconsin beating tennessee. in other games, i have penn state beating aTm and indiana beating okie state (both those teams kinda suck)
-
purdue was the much better team, it was a fluke game. [/meph's rationalizations]

Prior to the Padres
TruffleShuffle replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i hope he goes 33-0 with a 0.02 ERA -
not a great plan to put 29 on an underdog. (says the guy who put 32 on boise st)

NSBB I Present You With An Uninspiring List
TruffleShuffle replied to Mephistopheles's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i see him as kind of a mix of clemente, harriet tubman and vladimir putin. he'll be a humanitarian like clemente, but he'll hit like harriet tubman. and like putin, he'll find a way to stay around (i.e., with the cubs) a lot longer than he really should have. -
And now you know how it felt with the Utah-Navy game the other night in which several people put 20+ points on Utah and they squeaked by and won by a field goal. Yeah but that was the correct move. Utah was leaps and bounds better than Navy. Brigham Young and UCLA are pretty much a tossup. ah, so the utah-navy game - which was a three point game in which navy could've potentially tied or won the game had they not thrown a pick in the last minute - was a fluke, and utah was leaps and bounds better. but another game that proved to be very close was not a fluke - the outcome was a tossup. must be nice to never be wrong.
