    Kent is Spartacus. Kent is Neo. Kent is Harry Potter.

    Ah, finally some sanity. Everyone has the right to be critical as well as praising. As far as being critical as far as a GM not getting it done, is that for the overall picture or a getting a specific player via trade? I think a person can be fairly critical towards a GM if the team isn't progressing like it should or a trade or FA signing that has already happened. Look at my post above. I agree people have the righ to be critical. Its the methedology of some that I don't like.

    Ah, finally some sanity. That's ridicilous If this place is so insane and the people who post here so unrealistic and unknowledgable why do you or anyone else who is bitching stay here? You are really overreacting to my post and completely missing the point. My point is that I appreciate measured criticism based in fact (like stats) rather than pure speculation such as, "That Hendry stinks because he didn't trade for Chruch. I know they were only asking for (names of players)". I also prefer criticism based on actual results (such as guys we have actually acquired, the team's performance, etc.) rather than "Hendry sucks - he didn't sign Schmidt!" EDIT: For example, many of us (myself included) took shots at Hendry for the contracts he gave to DeRosa and Lilly. I don't have a problem with that. What bothers me is when people slam Hendry for things he cannot control, such as the fact Schmidt apparently preferred to sign on the Coast in spite of the fact that the Cubs offerred him more money and an extra year. Nothing he can do about that, IMO. EDIT No. 2: Please show me where I referred to anyone here as "unknowledgeable".

    Bags is in the McGwire-Sosa class in terms of his HOF prospects, IMO.

    I think some of the folks here should apply. I am not kidding. The days of having to be a "baseball guy" are over.

    A great point. An obvious point. And one that could stand to be considered a little more often here. You got that, stupid people? It's unfortunate that you went that route in responding to my post. Its unfortunate, that every post you make is basically a shot at how "stupid" we here at nsbb are. You too. :roll:

    why spring? B/c that's when St starts, but that's not important right now... :wink:

    Was he ever a realistic possibility? I don't see why not. Hendry wants LH bats, he wants CF help, but not anybody that would require a longterm solution. And Washington could be willing to get rid of him. I don't see how it couldn't be realistic. I agree - it makes a lot of sense.

    I don't find it that freaky. I've used services like that to track people's flights for years. I don't care what you say - its freaky.

    Not necessarily my own view, fwiw. Who wrote that? I would also like to know. Aren't 3 of the best closers in history Eckersley, Lee Smith, and Eric Gagne? 3 Americans? Gagne is Canadian. And, Joe Morgan wrote that. It says so at the top. I just don't believe he wrote it, even if it "says so at the top".

    I think this whole thing has a sort of farcical quality to it, like the Zucker brothers doing a mob movie: "You can get on Mr. Henry's private plane if we have a deal; if not, we are sending you back to Osaka, my fr-ent.

    Can you trade for a guy who was just tendered? Wilkerson might be available on the relative cheap. Would you do one of Marshall / Marmol / Mateo straight-up for Wilk? Wilkerson is a FA now. He can be signed by any team. You don't have to trade to get him now. Hopefully Hendry is looking into signing him. If he's healthy coming off of shoulder surgery, he could be a great addition to this team. Ah - my bust. I forgot that "tendered" indicates that the player is an FA. Thanks Willis...I mean EJ.

    More than likely the high income tax, plus its pretty far from where most of these guys are from, I would guess.

    The Mets version of Larry Anderson for Jeff Bagwell, or Doyle Alexander for John Smoltz.

    Can he play for the Blackhawks? Seriously, energy guy? What is that? Pagan is just a bad back of the bench player. He's tolerable as the 25th man, but that's about it. Hard to disagree.

    Nice job by Riccardi if true. Tough to get guys to come up north unless you throw some cash at them, and Wells already has a history with the team. Need to show the fans you will keep your guys.

Why? Why are they so utterly incompetent to make this mistake over and over again? Why can't they see that Rex's game log looks like this: Good Great Okay Very Good Very Good Terrible Great Terrible Very Good Good Terrible Terrible Good How hard is it to see this? He has not had a 7-game slump. He went into the Meadowlands where he outplayed both Eli Manning and Chad Pennington, both more respected QBs than himself, not to mention, he had better games than Tony Romo, the annointed one. This is getting regoddamndiculous. I only worry that Rex will pull out a "Terrible" in the playoffs. If he had 9 "Okays", 3 "Goods", and 3 "Very Goods", and one "Terrible" over a 16 game schedule, that would make me more comfortable. As it stands, he has had three "Terribles" in 13 games. Makes me a bit nervous.

    Bradley wasn't in the game much after that, if I recall. Bingo - I turned to my wife and said that was totally Bradley's fault. Rex threw to the perfect spot and Mark just kept running. I think Lovie sent Bradley a message. I hope it doesn't involve a doghouse with no exit. I was liking Bradley's emergence, and really think that he, along with Muhsin and Berrian provided Rex with 3 legit receiver threats. I agree. Continuing to punish him would be short-sighted, that is unless he continues to do bone-headed things. We need him on the field, especially on 3rd down.

    I could not understand that matchup. Me either. I wondered aloud when they lined up what Hester was doing locked up wih Holt one-on-one with no help. They could have at least moved Harris over there to help him.

    Hrm.... I was thinking the same thing after the first kick return. His lateral speed is insane - he looks like Reggie Bush. Line the guy up in the slot or put him in motion. No safety or backer could possibly stay with him.
