  1. This one is making me laugh rather loudly:
  2. Twins, mostly because it means the end of the plastic one they play in now
  3. http://images.mccoveychronicles.com/images/admin/BeatDeadHorse.gif
  4. Boy, do I feel silly now. Thanks for the lesson.
  5. The obligatory all star for a team with Ryne Sandberg? There were a few years there when Biggio was good and you had Steve Sax and Tommy Herr displacing Sandberg here and there. Hell, if you listen to Joe Morgan, he may have still been playing in it those years. :lol: Sandberg was there every year from 1984-1993
  6. sure would be nice if they made new baseball games that didn't completely suck
  7. hopefully enough to keep them from acquiring someone really good over the next 4 years
  8. And stats just can't measure fire and intensity. And grittiness. And veteran-ness. the Shawn-o-meter couldn't go that high
  9. the post was simply pointing out that Hendry was around when the Cubs drafted Greene after someone asserted that Hendry was content with filling the position with crap
  10. They drafted him in the 14th round in 2001, and he went back to Clemson for another season. He was never "our ballplayer".
  11. Can we legally call this a $uper Bow1 thread? I'd hate to see Tim's house get confiscated.
  12. I think this is dead-on. He's not a lefty, he's not a top of the order hitter, and he has a low batting average. Hendry won't be interested, even though he should be. Yes but in Hendry's mind shortstops are suppose to be poor to mediocre hitters with "moxy" "spunk" "grit" ect... I dont think we've had a good shortstop since Dunston. We talk every year about the glaring hole at SS when Hendry simple doesnt see it. He's happy with fielding crap at that possition for some reason. Hendry wants a defensive shortstop, the other terms you throw out are superfluous. Greene is outstanding defensively. Combine that with the fact that Hendry already tried to trade for Greene last season, and your reasoning quickly falls apart. Let's also conveniently forget that the Cubs drafted Greene when Hendry was in charge Hahaha. I think I've heard Hendry say somewhere that he's "baffled" at the lack of position players coming from our minor leagues. How about because you don't have the first clue how to develop them, Jimbo? Not that I disagree, but what does that have to do with the previous post?
  13. If I were to make a list, neither of these would be near the top 25.
  14. Dempster's wife didn't even vote for him
  15. yeah, last year
  16. Yeah, I got nothing on the bonus question.
  17. Don't worry, Juan Cruz will be just like Pedro.
  18. He'd probably get $13 in arby over the next 2 years, they're getting his 1st FA season at $11M. It's a decent deal, but it's no steal. He's got to not suck to get that on the open market.
  19. I'd love to have Kevin Tapani back. You know, if he could knock 20 years off and suddenly become a good pitcher.
