give me Dunn hoops Dunn makes me feel funny on the inside

it also almost happened in the NBA I believe when the Grizzlies moved to Memphis they were owned by FedEx and if i recall right there was a lot of talk of having FedEx on the jerseys and naming them the fedexers or something. It wasn't that but something like that. anyone else remember that or am i having one of my cough syrup induced hallucinations?

marquis grissom?

if hes grading on a curve then it does make sense for about 2/3 of teams to get C's. C is average

my prayers have been answered thank you lord, and also JH

and hes left handed

the portland mercy killers or Portland potheads??? has a nice ring to it

That's not really how it works. Well, he doesn't physically sell them, they get homeless people to do that, but newspapers are a business. The more inflammatory and sensationalized, the more people are going to want to buy it. A very small fraction of a newspaper's income actually comes from newspaper sales. It's all about the advertising now -- something I sadly am forced to deal with every day (I'm a newspaper editor). While circulation certainly affects ad revenues, the Trib's funds won't be determined by whether Phil Rogers writes ludicrous trade proposals or not. With a few exceptions, the job of a writer is to report the news and, in some instances, comment on it. It's an insult to say that reporters are there to inflame and sensationalize every aspect of the news just to nab a few extra subscribers. I guess it's true of a one certain windbag in this city, but for the most part, it's an awfully harmful and dangerous misconception. newspapers with circulations of 5 copies don't routinely sell ads for $50,000 a page. the more newspapers you sell, the more your ads are worth. edited to remove sarcasm I'm aware of that, and that's what I said. Ads are affected by circulation. But Phil's editor doesn't say to him, "Hey, our numbers are slipping, why don't you cook up some absurd article today and get more subscribers!" no... he knows to do that himself.

at least Jockstrap has SOME power tho...

is it just me or is tejada being overrated by some on this board, and now Hendry evidently... people post things talking about how we can expect 40 HR and 130 RBI from him, his line from last year: .302 .349 .515 .864 26 HR 98 RBI he has never hit 40 HR... career OPS of .815 he is a very good player indeed but not the world beater he is being made out to be by some

after the Jockstrap signing :( :( :( how much money is left on the payroll assuming say 100-105 million? Still enough for another starting pitcher?? If so what starters are still available? I know Millwood is out there but anyone else? or is Hendry gonna add another bench player and call it an offseason? I think any one of: signing an innings eater starter trading for Huff or Floyd or Wilkerson trading for Miggy + signing a right handed platoon side = pretty good offseason... unfortunately it seems the first part of that equation does not seem too likely right now and the best bet seems like signing another starter... so is money there for doing that?

Aubrey Huff? Cliff Floyd? Wilkerson? Nixon? Bradley?

whats so great about tejada his numbers are really not much better than like milton Bradley for real look at em true he's a short stop and .300 avg and 25 HR is good for a SS and all that, but if we get tejada we still have john mabry starting in right field Another Right handed home run hitter is not really what this team needs

why does everyone think that Bradley will not provide enough production as a right fielder. ) because hes never played in more than 141 games

erin andrews gets my vote and it is an easy win
