  1. This is the last year of his contract, isn't it? EDIT - He's due something like $13M or $14M, I think. 12.5
  2. they were soooo 2007
  3. you mean like when Derrek Lee put up similar ridiculous numbers in 05?
  4. I'd prefer Tara Reid or Sam Marquez
  5. What will I do with my day if I don't get at least 7 more names linked to the Tennessee job?
  6. Grace and his stories are great in small doses.
  7. It took about 30 years to retire Santo's number. By the by, I also believe retiring numbers is an idiotic practice.
  8. I hate seeing the same 3-4 backs getting a handoff and running for 4 yards on every play
  9. false harden is also 3 years younger Ha, Ha. You actually believe that Rich Harden is as good as Ben Sheets I don't. I believe he is better.
  10. I don't think he's that nice of a guy
  11. are we home or visitors?
  12. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4819250&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines you're already on borrowed time, Bob
  13. "at least we're not Detroit" ETA: just in case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM
  14. I can only comment on my recent memory. But it seemed in 2008, every time Sheets tried to come back, his elbow hurt, or his shoulder hurt, or he had a problem with his finger. Seems like something was always happening and seems extremely injury prone if you ask me. Sure I'd love a healthy Sheets, but I don't think we'll get that. When was the last time he was fully healthy or atleast mostly healthy? Sheets healthy for a third or half of the season at 5-6MM is a much better option than Silva starting and having another bullpen lackey being on the roster for that same period of time.
  15. bingo I don't understand the extreme amount of Theriot hate on this board. I think he's just fine at the top of the order. He certainly is not a liability at the plate, and it's not like he has some massive contract to live up to. I said "bingo", not "I hate "Theriot".
  16. When I discovered YouTube, I didn't work for five days.
  17. I faintly remember the discussion, but I didn't remember the bet until today. While drunk over the weekend, I was the only one in my group of 6 who said Wisconsin stood a chance against Miami. Apparently I took on bets of $20 each and took no points while being offered anywhere between 3 and 14. Payments are slowly rolling in.
  18. signing a former Ranger to a 3 year deal is a wonderful concept that somebody should have explored some time ago
  19. A lack of eye popping major league stats by age 24 does not indicate anything about a player's upside. In fact, nothing you are talking about relates to upside in anyway. The numbers dont have to be eye popping, i'm not saying that. But they do have to show something. And looking at his numbers, I dont think there's anything that shows "Oh you know what, i think this kid will be something." you mean like his minor league numbers?
  20. That makes no sense. Vitters hasn't touched the majors while Theriot has. If Vitters had some major league experience than you can compare him to Theriot's early major league career. As for Pie, Pie has had more time in the Majors than Fuld. Pie has been in the majors for about 2 1/2 years and his numbers dont scream potential. He had one good month but what about the rest of his time in the majors. I guess batting .333 with a OBP of .394 with 5 Hr and 13 RBIs scream potential. But then what do you have to say about his september numbers? it makes perfect sense if you understand the meaning of upside as it relates to a baseball player
  21. I heard Capps likes pizza but not that thin stuff
  22. Oprah, Barbara Walters, your wife EDIT: damn you, jersey
