This is in regard to the Coke, Pop, Soda thread.

Sorry if it's been discussed. I didn't see it anywhere. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2266855

Did Levine mention Sosa?

Sweet! That would mean we got JerryHairston Jr. for basically nothing. :wink: -
I love the official team site and message board! It always seems to have the latest news and signings from around the league, and is rarely wrong! --Edward K., Indianapolis, Ind. I love it if I'm looking for a good laugh.

Poor Edward K. He has no idea everyone is making fun of him. All he wanted was an answer to his question.

Who is this Ronny Cedeno guy? --Edward K., Indianapolis, Ind.

This doesn't make sense. Kolb does not "have to" be non-tendered just so the Brewers can sign him to a lower contract. The Brewers can resign him before the 20th to a lower rate than his 2005 contract. If he is non-tendered, he is free to negotiate with any team, including the Brewers, but that puts Kolb in a better bargaining position. :roll: I thought a team could only offer X percent lower then the last contract? It's true if the case goes before an arbitrator. If you decline to tender him, he becomes a free agent. You can offer him league minimum at that point, but you'll have to worry about someone else outbidding you. It sounds like Kolb and the Brewers have a deal in place to non tender and re-sign Kolb to something favorable to the player and the team. You're correct. It's the same thing Barrett did when he was traded to us. He became a free agent for a day so we could sign him for a larger % less than we could have if he wasn't a free agent.

Agreed. I think Nomar should be playing LF if anything. How is he going to make those stretches from 1b after a season where he completely tore up his groin? Glad to see him go to the Dodgers instead of the Astros though. It would have been pretty much a guarantee that he would have killed us if he played for the Astros. Does he have to stretch? McGriff never did when he was with the Cubs. He caught the ball right in front of the chest while standing stiffly upright. Karros only stretched a little. Sometimes veteran 1B's are cut quite a lot of slack for lazy defense. I never would've thought Randall Simon could stretch, but he did. Man I would love to see him back. wasnt he so bad in 2004 that he couldnt even get a deal for 2005? I guarantee you he can hit better than Macias did last year, or any of our pinch hitters for that matter.

The right to use my screenname in your's

They probably told him to quit dragging his feet and he could run faster.

I don't know, I just listed off a car manufacturer. I think they only use Chevy, Ford, and Dodge. Probably won't use foreign cars b/c most of the fans a rednecks and they wouldn't like that. Not true Toyota is involved in the NASCAR Truck series and I believe they are working on getting in the NEXTEL series as well. Cool, I guess. I wasn't sure. I just thought that was the case. I don't follow the sport very closely. Not a sport! Oh yeah, I forgot I voted No

Royals sign two ex-Cubs, two others

I bet that right side of the infield has the longest name combination of any right side ever. -
Look toward Japan?

I'm not sure which direction it is. :? -

Guess I'm a moron

O.K. It's definately without a doubt Aaron Brooks. I just saw him on ESPN and he said "No matter if I don't ever take another snap with the New Orleans Saints I've did some tremendous things for this organization." LIKE WHAT? Then Joe Horn says "It's a sad day for Joe Horn. He's been the only guy throwing the ball to me the last few years." Maybe I should start a thread for dumbest QB/receiver combo.

Right about thinking nobody else would vote that, but wrong on the question.

It's coke where I'm from, but I have enough sense to say "Dr. Pepper" when someone asks me what I'd like to drink.

Anybody know where I can find Bleacher construction photos?
B replied to Sec 511 Die-hard's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You're probably right. I knew my guess was wrong when I looked at it for a second time. I don't live in Chicago though so I'm at a disadvantage. -
I started to put him, but I didn't. I really don't consider him much of a QB.

You trying to say he's not athletic? Have you seen him? Yes, I have seen the fossil man
