    I don't trust the score. They are anti-Cubs bigots. They're worse if you live in Chicago.
  2. Ding Dong Johnson
    I'd do that if they also sent a little cash (maybe just a couple mil).
  3. Ding Dong Johnson
    This is shaping up to be quite a blowout.
  4. Ding Dong Johnson
    Other teams have done it with deeper, more talented farms. Pie is not ready, Theriot is probably nothing more than a utility player, and Restovich may need a platoon partner.

    Flip a coin, that's what I did.

    That's absolutely not true if he acquires players that will help the team win in 2007. We can afford to not be sellers.

    That was a good attempt, but I think it took the only shattered batting helmet I can recall in recent history to really start the downward spiral. Yah, Sammy was never the same after Saloman Tores (SP???) gave him that shot to the head.... I hate that man... Yep, Sammy was actually hitting in the .330's in 2003, I think, When Tores decided that Sammy's helmet would look better in 30 pieces. 1. Salomon Torres 2. It was April when Sammy went down so his .330 could be deceiving. Not enough AB's yet. 3. Yes Torres is a bum. I blame him for the downfall of Sosa. I seem to recall the beaning happening on mother's day. Easter

    wheras I think The Clash is the most overrated piece of crap ever. "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Easy answer. GOOOOOO!!! Agreed. Still, I had to pick them.
  9. Ding Dong Johnson
    Except that's not the game.
  10. Ding Dong Johnson
    How does what you post say he "won't be going"?
  11. Ding Dong Johnson
    Back to the coin flip, Genesis wins.

    Zobrist's OBP is ridiculous. Edit: Forgot link. :oops:
  13. Ding Dong Johnson
    They're both dumb. Joe Morgan's ignorance earns him my vote here.
  14. Ding Dong Johnson
    Well, that sucks. He seems to finally be turning it around after that horrendous start.
  15. Ding Dong Johnson
    CSI:NY
  16. Ding Dong Johnson
    Shiny Happy People aside, REM's got my vote.
  17. Ding Dong Johnson
    Clines goes, Dusty assumes role, things actually get much worse.

    Disagree. How many less of their 26 championships would the Yankees have if they didn't have the highest payroll year after year. I would guess it would be quite a few. It's not a coincidence that the next highest # of WS championships is like 9. Increasing the payroll doesn't guarantee a WS but it does increase your margin for error and with the right GM can help teams remain competitive year after year like the Yankeees and Red Sox. How many of the 26 World Series have the Yankees won with the highest payroll? Obviously you're right that the higher payroll increases flexibility and margin for error, but I think as it pertains to the Cubs we're in more need of better decisions with the money than more money itself, though both are plenty useful. All 26. I doubt it. In the mid-to-late 90's, Baltimore had the highest payroll. I'm pretty sure that for at least one, and maybe two or three of those titles, the Yanks were not the highest payroll. And I'd bet they didn't have the highest in some earlier seasons either. The Orioles payroll was $7M more than the Yankees in 1998.

    I hope he does go to a contender. I hope down the stretch, he absolutely torches us. Then I hope he gets a WS ring and publicly blasts the Cubs brass.
  20. Ding Dong Johnson
    Bolded for greater accuracy.
  21. Ding Dong Johnson
    Hmm, I didn't realize St Louis still had a football team.
  22. Ding Dong Johnson
    I vote for this idea. Please put it in the Iowa City area.
  23. Ding Dong Johnson
    I believe some sort of proof would be needed.
  24. Ding Dong Johnson
    First coin flip for me. Cream it is.
  25. Ding Dong Johnson
    He wasn't good defensively either. I assume you're being sarcastic, since Mazeroski is perhaps the best defensive second baseman of all time. That's all well and good, but a career OBP under .300 is what it is - terrible. And if you're going to let Maz in the HOF because of his defensive prowess, what about Santo's five Gold Gloves at third base? He wasn't exactly a butcher either. For fear of hijacking the thread, I don't think he belongs because in addition to being inadequat offensively, I do not think Maz was good defensively. He may have a nice number of Gold Glove awards, but I think that probably speaks more to the overall lack of talent at that position during his era. I think he had 23 errors one year that he won. Edit: After further review, he won the GG twice with 23 errors.
