  1. I started to panic when I found out he had a dog.
  2. I've never understood how someone could like college more than the NFL. It's really easy for people who live in or near college towns that don't have NFL teams.
  3. Stop believing ESPN. I want to quote this so we can see what it said before you come back next week and change it to Fox Sports.
  4. I shop online so I never have to miss important events like sitting around and watching football.
  5. I think I know what the "d" stands for.
  6. Well ... some decent positional assets. The system was over-hyped at the beginning of the off-season, IMO, anyways. They were dead thin on pitching (I mean, Corcino is arguably the top arm). Mesoraco is an untouchable and the starting C in 2012 for them, barring a surprise. AFter that, there's some MI's (Cozart, although he could be a major leaguer for them, and Hamilton/Gregorius lower). Nefatli Soto has good raw power, but I've never been a fan of his swing (well, never been big on his approach, or his ability to read pitches either). Yorman Rodriguez is toolsy, but really raw. Todd Frazier is basically a Ryan Flaherty type, someone the Cubs let walk. Dave Sappelt is ... not that interesting from a trade perspective (could become a depth OF type). Couple raw arms with upside in the lower levels, akin to what the Cubs have. I feel like I'm missing a couple guys. There's ... uh ... Lotzkar, but I'm taking a wait and see on how he does as he moves up, as he was an older guy coming off injury in the lower levels. A couple midde infielders, but I can't think of their names right now. All in all, a fairly weak system now. Thanks.
  7. What was left in the Reds system after the deal for Latos?
  8. Are you having Pop Rocks and Coke for lunch? That gives me an idea for an afternoon snack.
  9. Really? You're telling me the notion of having a fire sale and rebuilding wasn't lambasted around here every time it was mentioned by the Chicago media over the past few years? What does that have to do with anything?
  10. That's not why people thought they were idiots.
  11. a couple weeks ago, i saw a commercial for a local sports bar place in iowa city and it had a hayden fry impersonator. it was incredible. he ate a lot of chicken wings and watched the many flat screen tvs showing ALL the games. Do you remember the place? I want to go to there.
  12. I was genuinely shocked when I reviewed his season stats to see that he had actually completed 50% of his passes. If you include the 10% of his passes that went to the other team, it's really not that bad?
  13. He doesn't have any friends.
  14. I mean, Byrd and/or Soriano has to be gone for this to make any sense whatsoever. If they are at all serious about the defense and baserunning thing, I'm assuming Campana makes the team. As long as next season looks to be a terrible one, they need to at least unload Byrd and give CF to Jackson. If next season is going to be terrible, they need to start someone else in CF for 2 months and then give CF to Jackson. Ideally, Reed's contract is small enough that he can be released after those 2 months. I don't see Jackson making the team out of spring with what they currently have.
  15. I mean, Byrd and/or Soriano has to be gone for this to make any sense whatsoever. If they are at all serious about the defense and baserunning thing, I'm assuming Campana makes the team.

  16. There's way too much talent on the current roster for a guy like this.
