  1. could our season have possibly changed for the worse if Edmonds was never signed and Pie got a full chance to succeed? would we have won negative playoff games or had a 9 game swing to miss the playoffs? now we're stuck back at square one: hoping that Fukudome instead learns how to hit. and he's 7 years older and 30 times the cost. i'm not picking up on this paying off in spades you're talking about.
  2. thank you SSR, i feel like i'm taking crazy pills Felix proved beyond a shadow of a doubt with his first 15 ABs or whatever that he'd never be able to hit, but Edmonds 3 fer 97 start proved that he'd be a surefire source of production asinine
  3. i think ovechkin is probably the most "exciting" player, but datsyuk is probably a better all-around player. datsyuk isn't marketed because he isn't particularly marketable. he's not talkative or a good quote -- and he's russian -- so he doesn't get press. it's a shame, but as you say, it happens in every sport. Datsyuk just reminds me of the Bill James/Rickey Henderson quote. if you could split him into 2 players you still might get 2 all stars out of it. for somebody who puts up points like he does, he plays phenomenal in his own zone.
  4. Franklyn German is like a fatter Roberto Novoa
  5. actually, it's been frequently suggested that determination and will to live (or whatever you want to refer to it as) are significant factors in fighting cancer. i'm not too fond of your comparison.
  6. yeah, i don't know why anybody would want to watch two of the top five players in the game, averaging like 21 years old, facing off against each other on another unrelated note, Pavel Datsyuk's the best player in the NHL right now
  7. yeah I mean Brian McCann, yeah i mean Tom Glavine, yeah i mean Chipper Jones, yeah i mean Andruw Jones, yeah i mean Jermaine Dye, yeah i mean David Justice, yeah i mean KENT Mercker........
  8. and yeah, the Versteeg Calder talk can be put to bed already. he's playing for 2nd place at this point.
  9. they're all terrified of getting picked #1
  10. i think Hendry just loves Heilman because he pitched at ND and knows the guy who coached him or something
  11. like i said he looks small on tv
  12. he looks small on tv
  13. up until now, Tebow's never done anything wrong his entire life
  14. just think of what he'll be doing when he's 23 Thom backing up Steve Grogan, Jr. in the CFL, maybe
  15. for sure, but i attribute that to Jerry Jones desperation more than anything else
  16. that mock's about a month old, but Mayhew's telegraphing that he wants to take Bradford #1 (and Garrett as HC to develop him) Still feel Bradford wouldn't drop after tonight? Not looking so spectacular against an actual defense. well we're not really dealing with a football mastermind, it's the guy who assisted the worst GM in sports history for 8 years you'd also think an offensive coordinator who ran a very disappointing offense the Ravens called "predictable" and "simple" despite being loaded with talent like TO, Romo, Marion the Barberian and Witten would see his stock slip, too
  17. Tebow's like the idiot teenagers i used to play on Madden *drop back with Vick* *oh wait i dont even know what the pass button is* *scamper around aimlessly*
  18. i totally didn't see that coming
  19. whats with their kicker, is it bring your kid to work day today?
  20. Tebows a bigger embarrassment to himself than Adam Morrison was every time he cried
  21. personal foul...recreating that one Exorcist scene
  22. WHAT THE [expletive] OKLAHOMA love tap him or something
