Jon is one of my favs. His Bears video page fills me with joy.

I like Carniby's Bears/Badger fan shtick but TT is a solid poster with a username and avatar representing the greatest comic book of all time. In fact, his avatar is the only one I haven't ad blocked on my home pc. I had to go with TT here.

oof

eh

:(

Don't be that guy. Seriously.

yeah, i'm a little disappointed in lou right there. Me too. I can't believe no one did anything after that slide into second. I would have blown my top.

Wow, "I was waiting for it."

Rentaria needs to get plunked again this game no matter the consequences. Unreal that he could get away with trying to spike someone right after what just happened.

Probably the worst post I've read here in a while and that's saying a lot.

This game should be on now.

I can't stop watching this

Cubs win plz.

I love the Fonz. Can't help it.

Leading off will get him more plate appearances.

i think soriano hit some taters today

I don't think it's about sensibilities being shocked. This is just one of many things that have shown up on myspace pages that have come back to haunt people. I think this shows a lack of judgement on his part. Everybody knows money motivates everybody else. When you advertise like that, you do a couple things, like tip off some scouts or decisions makers about a potential lack of desire to improve as a baseball player. He wouldn't be the first guy to cash in and then check out. Wouldn't you hesitate to pay somebody that much if they were that excited about it that they'd put it out on a website that has repeatedly gotten people into hot water? I understand your point about myspace pages coming back to bite people in the arse. You should see some of the stuff the HR guys pull up around here. "Interests: Text messaging!" "I like to go to work high" etc... Answer to the bolded: No. I think the countdown was fairly innocuous. I'm sure that's the way a lot of these guys look at the draft. Improvement leads to more money so I'm not sure that being focused on the money necessarily means that would be more likely to wash out or not try to improve. Like you said, most of these kids are playing for the money and everyone knows it. People just get uncomfortable when that comes to the surface. People want to think that these kids are playing because they love the feeling of the bat in their hands and get teary eyed looking at a baseball diamond. People get upset when their romantic view of the game gets tainted. We see this all the time when it comes to stats. So basically, it may have been stupid to put that up, but only because silly people will get bent out of shape about it.

I think it is funny that people's sensibilities are shocked when someone reveals that money is a motivator in their actions.

Countdown til I get paid is right. Doesn't really bother me.

Interesting....

It seems that he's a deeply polarizing figure on NSBB. yep....those who are in on the joke and those who aren't I guess we all can't be as cool as you. Don't you get it? He's IN on the joke. You probably aren't. Call him when your cool enough, weiner.

Agreed.

He really is a super sub. I have been impressed at his ability to play multiple positions competently.

Rotoworld I would definitely take a 2nd rounder for Brown. oh yeah
