    Yeah. Poor guy. How can one reasonably expect to live any sort of comfortably on a lousy $10 million a year? I wonder if he can qualify for welfare on that sort of pay. Juan Pierre is making like 10 million a year, isn't he? I can understand him not wanting to play for that annual salary. I'm not saying that it isn't a lot of money, just that it makes a lot more sense for him to turn it down knowing that info. that's not the annual salary. that's what he gets this year; from 2011-13 he gets $25 million for doing nothing. deferred money is not money that doesn't exist. But it is money that he doesn't get to collect interest on... lowering the effective value of the contract.

    Perhaps you would like to escort them to a dark, out-of-the-way room where they wont be bothered by this filth? Perv. Why would you do something like that?

    what? no it's not, that's absurd. that's the same thing as me admitting to smoking weed. "i know that i smoked weed, and i'm sorry. i just don't know what kind of weed it was. i'll tell you one thing though, i know it wasn't heroin that i was shooting into my vein." You've got that backwards. If you want to use a terrible analogy, at least make sure it matches up. Steroids > Tic-Tac Heroin > Weed At any rate, tic-tacs are as innocuous an object as there is, and many people use them in reference that way... not in a strict "I ingested something through an oral cavity" meaning.

    Aaron Miles 2/5 Mark DeRosa traded to Cleveland is the biggest Cubs blunder this offseason (even bigger than letting Wood walk), and is probably one of the 5 dumbest moves this offseason. Trading DeRosa was a smart move. I'm not huge on the prospects we got, but I had no problem with moving him. Fontenot could do a similar job starting for a fraction of the cost. The blunder was in signing Aaron Miles as his replacement.

    I'm a little disappointed to see Rhee back at Peoria... but that's just because of the injuries. If he stays healthy, I wouldn't be surprised to see him make it to the majors sometime in 2010.

    interesting i thought so. but unless i missed something (which i doubt, considering all the attention this story has got) the media didn't pick up on this. That's because reading anything into that statement at all is preposterous.

    Don't forget, his career was essentially ended by a series of suspensions for the use of PEDs... amphetamines rather than steroids, but still...
  8. Rob
    Correlation does not equal causation. Take the results from medical studies on steroid effectiveness and plug them into physics equations. That's how you get an idea of what kind of effect they have. Your proposal wouldn't prove anything. ARod and Bonds were going to the HoF if they never touched a needle... some other people on that list probably were too. Big names using them doesn't mean anything... it doesn't even mean that's why they became big names.

    Final tally (2) 4/18 vs Cards (2) 5/2 vs Marlins (2) 5/30 vs Dodgers (4) 6/20 vs Indians (2) 7/4 vs Brewers (2) 7/25 vs Reds (2) 8/29 vs Mets (2) 9/12 vs Reds I'm gonna be spending quite a bit on gas...

    Well at least I'm going to spring training... it doesn't look like I'll make it to wrigley very often this year.

    I've got over 100 tabs open and have gotten in just once.
  12. Rob
    Over 80 windows going and nothing so far... ugh.
  13. Rob
    Does it dynamically refresh, or do you need to manually do it?
  14. Rob
    wtf, I'm having issues with firefox... when i open up a new tab it wont let me type in the url...little help Jon? Open up an entirely new set of Firefox to put in the url.

    Does anybody happen to know if the VWR trick is still going to be of use?
  16. Rob
    Is everybody gonna try to get tickets to the same game again this year?
  17. Rob
    Really? I was a few years older than I am now.
  18. Rob
    Why is the new board rule specific to wade?
  19. Rob
    Seconded.

    Z es bandito!

    Crap like outlier seasons, photos taken years apart and from altogether different angles, whether "he just looks like a juicer"... none of that is even remotely conclusive. If we don't have drug tests, doping schedules, receipts... some sort of hard, reliable evidence, we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. The burden of proof should be on us if we want to accuse players of juicing. There is no way for them to prove that they didn't.

    It's true. Heterosexual males have much lower transmission rates than women or homosexuals.

    That should give you a pretty good idea just how much extra work you create for the mod staff. ;) Bah, I'm extremely well behaved... unless it's a weekend or holiday.
  24. Rob
    They asked me if I wanted to be a mod. When I said no, they decided they needed four new ones instead of just me.

    Wonderful... now I get to look forward to a bunch of idiots spouting off nicknames like ARoid and A-Fraud. And with the other 100+ names on that list looking to have an imminent release to the public, a bunch of dumbass nicknames for them as well... I think it's gonna be enough for an immediate add to my foe list for anybody pulling that crap.
