  1. Lol I'm thinking the same way.
  2. Yep i'm thinking groce told him thanks but no thanks. it's becoming clearer and clearer that he's not a high-major player at the division 1 level. That's what it sounds like. I imagine he ends up in manhattan. Just don't lose Malcom Hill.
  3. Apparently Illinois did match and Chew bolted for Marquette anyway, since he's apparently buds with Williams. Weird situation. Hmm, where are you reading that? I'm reading the other thing. Peoriaman also saying we never had a contract in place with him. What the hell? From Klee: http://www.illinihq.com/sports/illini-sports/mens-basketball/2012-05-29/chew-marquette-and-explains-why.html That's very weird. He took a pay cut to come to Illinois.

  5. He's getting a ton more money from Marquette. We cant match being as Ron Guenther has us paying ex coaches a crap ton of money.
  6. If only you had the ability to see which posters started which threads. Maybe the site should have like an author column.
  7. Why is that? I thought that's what he was supposed to be. He'll probably end up at RF. From what I've seen of him in right he's a heck of a hitter. Kind of like Ryan Braun.
  8. He's also played some third.
  9. The Royals will not be trading us Wil Myers for Matt Garza or anyone else we have not named Starlin Castro. I wouldn't be so sure, they know they need pitching and just signed Jeff Francouer. My guess is the move Myers at some point for pitching. Matt garza is about as good as there is available. Myers, Montgomery/Dwyer, Bonifacio, and Melville ftw. I want no part of Chris Dwyer. He's a reliever at best. Totally stalled out at AA. I'd still rather have John Lamb.
  10. I know but both Baez and Hernandez deserve and need daily SS reps. Yes it is a very good problem to have.

  12. Where's Hosmer going to play? RF? Firstbase, no one in their right mind would prefer Rizzo to Hosmer.
  13. Call Kansas city and offer them Matt Garza for Wil Myers and another pitching prospect. Just tell them Matt used to be a Brave and they might throw in Eric Hosmer.
  14. I really don't like that Marco is being sent down after rebounding from that awful start.
  15. 2006 hurt a lot more because of how close we were in 03 I believe. Well that and by that point we knew we had really broke wood and prior.
  16. So you saw Matt Holliday rob a leadoff homer. :roll:
  17. Anytime I go to a game in KC and wear my Cubs stuff they always yell at me about "How did that Mauer Prior thing turn out?" I guess they like how that one turned out a lot.
  18. I'm hoping for the they both played for the cubs one to be true also.
  19. Well, I don't go to O$U, MSU, or IU boards and talk trash... Purdue hasn't 'dominated' the Big Ten in a long time, though we do have a winning record against every team except OSU. As for the Illini, we have dominated you guys recently, and have a better record in the all-time series too! 8-) But we have a college basketball thread for these fun debates... I know, was just messing with you.
  20. Koyie Hill, barely OPSing .500 at AA is gonna play everyday for us. I love major league baseball managers.
  21. http://plus.sites.post-gazette.com/index.php/pro-sports/pbc-blog lol, who was President the last time the Pirates had a winning record? Reagan? never mind. too easy. Oh, were you going to rub that World Series victory from the Carter administration in our faces? Did you go to Princeton? Maybe you can rub their 28 college football championships in our faces too, lol. I know you're just having fun, but it's pretty amusing that a columnist for the Pittsburgh paper is taking shots at the Cubs. Was he even alive the last time the Pirates won a World Series? Like you talking up Purdue dominating the Big Ten funny? Lol.
  22. You moved and don't have to listen to him do every royal game. You don't know my pain.
