  1. ARGH Let's get started I need a win to balance out the hiring of Lout Piniella.
  2. Oh Bruce Levine, you silly man. Like Hendry will ever go after the top tier free agents...
  3. No, you have it right. Bruce confirmed that Dusty did not listen to Rothschild, and Larry was one of the only coaches who worked hard (I believe he said 1 of 2, but he didn't mention who the other one was). Everybody just has a different opinion on how much of a factor that was. I'm willing to see how he is this next year, but I can understand if some people are unwilling to give him another chance. Benny Cadahia?
  4. And with that dubious hiring, the offseason is off to a crappy, crappy start. Thank god for the Bears, otherwise I think I'd be holding a seppuku party.
  5. I concur. Seems to be the way things are going this year.
  6. But TB had been doing so badly.... Eh. I'm just screwed this week.
  7. 670 has been doing exclusively football stuff for the last few hours.
  8. I'm sorry, but that TB is just crazy. Against the Bengals?!
  9. I hear you bro. Gonna be lucky to get less than half of them this week.
  10. I don't get this "committment to winning" crap. Hendry showed that by not re-hiring Baker. What Hendry is hoping for is some first year magic turnaround to save his job, by pulling an Ozzie/Leyland and bringing an old-school, angry manager to the job.
  11. Isn't that the same newspaper that reported Torre being fired and George hiring Piniella? By the way, this news, if true, sucks major butt. If there was one manager I didn't want it was Sweet Lout.
  12. Sigh. There's no way we realistically get Bochy. It's like voting for the Green candidate for Governer of Illinois. You know he's better than the other two candidates, but he never gets any good press and isn't "sexy".
  13. Oh look. UIUC lost again. Surprise! (/HEAVY ****ING SARCASM)
  14. Whatever, this postseason is boring as hell.
  15. Boy the A's are just looking punchless.
  16. Someone please YouTube this?
  17. C'mon As....you need to win this game...
  18. Agreed. Like Piniella.
  19. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/rozner.asp?id=237727 And Mr. Rozner, is also making it sound the Piniella is the new Cub manager, the organization is waiting for the "RIGHT" time to make the announcement. AKA after someone else hires Giardi?
  20. Man, I did a triple take when I saw Carlos' name on that list. But it's good that Cedeno is getting some work. He needs it.
  21. I'm still doing the Q and A. This thread just seemed to take on that quality. you didn't answer my first question ;) Nor did he answer BalsaWoodKeyBoard's question about being a Communist. :DSympathizer! :lol:
  22. Per SI.com Dear lord Jebus please make this happen, I'll buy more Cubs tickets than ever next year.
  23. My guess is that he didn't want to be part of the rebuilding effort that will soon be going on there. But it also means if he turns this down, he probably won't accept anything less.
  24. ......And that pretty much guarantees Soriano won't play for us anytime soon. Thanks for playing!
