    I love it. Get rid of divisions.

    Same here ... Easterling does have some NFL potential, though, and I thought I had heard that football was his first love. That said, he's more a depth/slot return man option, and draft wise, more of a mid-late round type value, unless he really blows up his senior year and gets better football workout numbers than people are expecting right now. Just as a side note, I spent grades 2 - 12 in Taiwan. Graduated and came to the mainland. Wouldn't that mean China?

    Andrew Friedman and Brian Cashman are not signed beyond this year. Friedman would probably be tough to get away from Tampa, but maybe he wants a bigger payroll to play with. Cashman might be sick of being overruled by ownership and want his own big market team to run. Either would be fine choices. Getting Friedman would make me a Ricketts fan for life. Give him whatever he wants.

    Nice gesture, but I wonder why they don't do these things in the last round of the draft.

    Shut him down and save him for next year, this one is over.

    As does Keith Law.

    Dayton has Guided by Voices, so it's clearly better than Cincinnati.

    Obviously it is much easier to hit in the AL East than in the NL Central.

    No matter what the weather forecast says for SF, dress very warm. It's always much colder there because it's right by the bay. It's not as bad as Candlestick, that place is freezing.

    ESPN got me with the same thing. They had a Castro out for the season link on a Cubs article.

    He must be really skinny. 6'5" 170.

    Any chance Kerry wants to start again?
  13. Proven Veteran
    Yeah, apparently Luke Scott should be the next Cubs manager. Maybe he can play 1B also.
  14. Proven Veteran
    That's why they never won anything.

    Not many LH third basemen.

    or if he used steroids Fixed I was told that when guys get injured a lot it's from their bodies breaking down to steroid use. or they are able to stay healthy forever and continue playing at a high level. in conclusion, everyone ever took steroids We're being followed!

    Needs more CAPS and EXCLAMATION POINTS And prepubescent voice cracks " For the first time since 1989, I no longer clip every box score of every baseball game from the nearest newspaper and tape each one into a spiral notebook, a daily task that I've estimated, at roughly 15 minutes per day, has cost me 40 days of my truly pathetic life." I had to google this to see if it was true and still can't believe that article wasn't from the Onion. Also in the article: he wears size 32 short suits.

    The small rumor is about going to the mets. Don't know why it says yanks in the link headline. Only mention of the yankees is this: "We should consider the Yankees interest in protecting Hughes from a worrisome workload, too, and in that case some other arms could come into play, such as Cleveland's Fausto Carmona, Ben Sheets in Oakland or the Cubs' Ted Lilly."

    I heard that Lou is on Double Secret Probation.
  21. Proven Veteran
    I think an 1.800 OPS is a realistic number to expect this season, you know, before he adjusts to the league.
  22. Proven Veteran
    no kidding... lou in a uniform could give kids nightmares. When is his baby due?
  23. Proven Veteran
    Lot of very bitter people here... :flame:

    LMAO "No one questions Roy Halladay's production, but the Blue Jays clubhouse may be a more comfortable place without the Cy Young winner around. Mark Rutsey of the Toronto Sun writes that Halladay, traded to the Phils over the winter, was mostly a loner during his time in Toronto. "The problem with Halladay was simply that he was so dedicated, worked so hard and had such a talent gap between himself and the others - he was buddies with Chris Carpenter way back and more recently for a time with A.J. Burnett, two pitchers who came close to matching his talent - that the younger pitchers were intimidated and didn't know how to approach him," Rutsey writes. "Everybody's a lot more loose and relaxed and laid-back, myself included," pitcher Shaun Marcum told the Sun. "
