Window? When was ND's window open? USC on track? Yeah, ok.
-
It's not the killing and raping, it's the arrests.
-
Yeah, speaking of, I added someone last week and didn't check my roster to see it was considered a waiver add so now I have like last priority which is BS.
-
Sounds right. Felony dropped to misdemeanor (making it 4). Probably miss fall camp and maybe a game or 2. Cost himself the starting gig though, which is good for us.
-
David Murphy is available for the right price.
-
Let's see. There's 1. Mass, 2. Lighting a candle at the grotto, and...huh
-
Na. He's a perfect backup QB. If Hendrix or Golson can't win the starting job this fall, we're fucked against this schedule.
-
Andy this isn't your first rodeo. Did you see the sbpd comments? "It wasn't much but it was enough to consider resist." SBPD hates ND football slightly less than cubinny so you have to take charges with a grain of salt. Stupid of him either way but he wasn't going Jackie Chan on the cops.
-
I love/hate talking baseball with people like that.
-
Some of my favorite seats in the park.
-
Whoa. Neifi never looked amazing. He may have put up some good numbers but he's always looked freaky.
-
I feel compelled to point out that my team [expletive] sucks.
-
Completed before the 2012 draft. Needs updating.
-
Why do we need an "ace" when we have (in this hypo) 2 of the 20 best pitchers in baseball? -
Jonas Gray signed with the Dolphins.
-
Blanton is definitely a S at the next level. Far too slow but very good tackler.
-
Reiff please
-
You draw the blue chopper line at where your favorite team picked a player from your favorite team...

Let's not spend 10 pages on what is a stupid semantic argument.

Does he have to fall of a cliff for this to be a terrible contract? He doesn't have to pull a soriano. If he's merely above average for his position for 6-8 years of the contract, was it a bad deal? For it to be terrible? Yes. I mean, you can declare this to be a "bad deal" pretty much regardless of what he actually puts up because it was essentially impossible for him to be worth all of the money/years regardless of this slow start. The Angels obviously would have been aware of that. Singing him goes beyond just stacking his performance vs. his contract. Right. But the expectation is he's at least very good from the start. I don't think the angels are banking on him being worth $25m in 10 years. Well, yeah, but we're still way too early to do anything like writing this off as a bust. As last year showed, a "different" Pujols can still be a very, very productive Pujols. I'm not saying its a bust. I'm agreeing with the earlier post that they should be worried now if they weren't already.

I don't think the angels are banking on him being worth $25m in 10 years. And the non-performance factors were considered by the team during negotiations, as I just said. They aren't a hedge against his bad play.
-
Of course. And those factors were likely considered in negotiations. It's not as if the Angels said "hey and if he turns out to be a league average first baseman, no sweat bc he's a great marketing piece."

I don't think there's ever been a reason to have Rizzo in Iowa City.

Floyd is also a tenacious blocker.
