  1. Give me a break. No. It was a stupid comment. I'm really sure you were fearful that he was going to spend reasonable money on a guy who can only play the same position two of our best players and our best two backups play. Because he has a long list of disastrous signings, such as...Neifi? That's about all I got. Of course, he didn't sign Schmidt and Lugo, whom everybody pined for, so Halo Effect dictates he's just awful in every facet of his job. It's out of the realm of possibility that he might be viewed as just be a mediocre, middle of the road GM. That would require nuance.
  2. a separate khalil greene forum
  3. For 4m, what do you really expect to get? Their offense will be great with or without him.
  4. It's a decent signing. I wouldn't be surprised if he hits 30 HRs in that bandbox. Phillie pitchers can use all the help they can get, I like this better for them than the Inge rumors.
  5. Oh, ok. "When he does it a few times, I'll be able to predict he'll keep doing it." Clever. Very maverick. Thinking outside of the box, I like it. Yeah, I know how weird is that, that I would read a Cubs blog? That would be like going on a message board to read opinions from other fans of the same team. Kinda creepy, I know. But seriously, you were pimping it in your power rankings thread. Eeeek.
  6. 1. catcher with [expletive] - you can do this for any team. it's a stupid argument. 2-3. You got me, I don't know anything about baseball...
  7. I wasn't aware you had connections in the Twins front office who openly tell you how much they like players on other teams. Pie sucks. Ellsbury doesn't. it's not rocket science Your opinion. Twins scouts might disagree. But if you have weekly tea parties with them, I guess it's really not worth arguing. Not true. Twin scouts thought Ben Revere was a first round talent. (no pun intended) Signability. What they've done over there has worked pretty well for them the past decade. You said Theriot = Derosa. That nullifies every evaluation you make henceforth?

  10. what's my weatherman going to say tonight?
  11. I don't think they'll get it put together in time to make the playoffs. Their defensemen are prone to turnovers, they play with so little physicality, and they pass the puck around on PPs waiting for the perfect shot instead of putting it on net and making something happen. Henrik's kept the ship afloat, but that can't last forever. Keeping Nylander seemed like the right thing to do, but given that he's already out for the year you can't really criticize Sather for it.
  12. They should feel fortunate they didn't sign Drury. He's been a non-factor all season.
  13. The reporter is the biggest idiot in this affair. "Cain was mentioned in talks for Miguel Cabrera, they'll probably just trade him for Crede instead."
  14. It's nice to see a team put up a little fight against the Wings for once. Bertuzzi body slamming Franzen, Pronger rearranging Cleary's face, 4 Ducks sitting in the penalty box together 5 minutes into the game, it's been a fun game. Charleston Chiefs is an apt comparison for today's game. You know your offense is in dire straits if 2 goals does you in. Can the Sedins be cloned?
  15. From what I remember, Pitkanen was a malcontent, which facilitated his departure. I think Coburn left a bad taste in fans mouths given that he was selected the pick before Dion Phaneuf and had struggles adjusting to the NHL game. With Ferguson getting fired, hopefully for their sake the Leafs blow that team up. A firesale would be wise, they really have little to build around. I wonder if the Flyers want Blake instead of Sundin, he could sit in the locker room next to Downie, and they could be good pals...
  16. Right now they have the most offensive firepower of any team in the league. They're right at the top of goals/game and that's with missing Gagne and Lupul for long stretches. Add to that Scottie Upshall looks like he's starting to figure things out, I see them taking their division and probably the two spot in the East. How do you feel about the Carter for Sundin rumors?
  17. http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/LineupAnalysis.py Fairly laughable results, usually.
  18. And that'll do it. :-&
  19. Not really sure what good punting will do.
  20. What a great catch by Chambers.
  21. I don't really know why I'm watching this game.
  22. Starbury.
