  1. Yeah, but the eternal optimist in me says that one or two prospects will break out because of all the high ceilings. Like Cedeno?
  2. I guess the address is an apartment building?? Deputy on air, saying that landlord not responsible for actions in apartment complex if he doesn't know about it. I heard that it was local authorities though, not feds.
  3. Left Bears facilities in a car with Bears security staff. B&B saying maybe he was renting the apartment, not sure he actually lives there.
  4. No charges have been filed as of yet.
  5. No dude, he couldn't cut it. But Neckbeard....
  6. At least the next 3 games are gimmies.
  7. Oh %#$#. Oh %#$#. Oh %#$#. Oh %#$#. This can't be good. No matter what it is.
  8. Wow. That's pretty a pretty stupid reason to miss playoff games.
  9. Fun video about Dick Butkis http://uncutvideo.aol.com/videos/8b6ed54120876fa5bd2e2da998947d9b
  10. Lovie knows exactly how to manipulate the media. I'd be shocked if Hester wasn't in a play or two during the playoffs.
  11. Hey nate, heard your interview on Cubscast! Great stuff! :D
  12. You, sir, have inspired me. As far as on topic, I'm excited to see Matz pitch! This is gonna be cool. 8-)
  13. :shock: I guess he's like Juan Pierre but not as fast and not as good a hitter? I can see what makes him so likable. :twisted: I thought Pagan was faster than Pierre by a good deal til he pulled his hammy early in the season. Seemed like that pull really dropped his speed in a hurry and he never did quite recover all the way during the season, though Hamstring injuries can be very tricky and last a long time. This wouldn't surprise me at all.
  14. Wow. Just goes to show how much different perceptions of a draft and draft results can be. Also, glad I didn't post in that thread. :P
  15. Interesting that he's already acting like Jacque Jones is gone. Jeez, I hope he gets good value in a ridiculous market like this. C'mon Jimbo, do us proud.
  16. Did they get rid of him? He's still there. It was mentioned they could use Otsuka for trade bait to try and shore up the starting pitching. Seems kinda like a bad idea, trading a certainty and hoping that someone else stays healthy who's had some very nasty injuries.
  17. This is a really dumb statement. Hirsh is a prospect, he didn't pitch for the Astros last year. Tavares is addition by subtraction, and Bucholz is a nobody. Conversely, they add Jennings, a major league 3/4 starter. A couple years down the road, this will likely be an awful deal for the Astros, but in 2007, it makes them marginally better. That makes our job harder, not easier. Hirsh rocked AAA last year. I'd be surprised if he doesn't make it to the majors next year. Besides, Jennings is no prize. Also, I never said "next year" or anything, it's a bad deal now, and it's a worse deal in the future.
  18. Terrible deal for the 'Stros. Makes our job a lot easier though.
  19. I'm just not sure I understand this. What was wrong with Otsuka?
  20. Wow, that's an amazing article. Makes me kinda wonder why I'm not subscribed to SI.
  21. If the Bears D had everyone healthy, I'd be shocked if they weren't #2. But they don't, and right now a Ravens/Bears or Saints/Bears game would be really close.
  22. Talk about immediate results. 8-)
