    Don't forget that Cuban has wanted some awful deals. The ridiculous Kidd trade and Bradley's salary come to mind. While he's better than the alternatives at this point, he's no genius.

    He could've just been saying that... Athletes play dumb all the time: "Oh, you know, we're not paying attention to what [team B, who they desperately need to lose] is doing. We're just going out there and trying to win games"

    For a half-second. The girl who played Juliet was 13, which was awesome when I was in 9th grade because I was 13, but would be insanely weird now. As of now I'm probably voting for all Cubs except Soriano but we'll see how the next few weeks play out. Haha she was 15.

    Hopefully this gets Ronny some well-deserved playing time!

    That guy looks JUST like Sammy

    Is that you, Paladin?

    These are amazing. I cannot believe there existed a park with a 560 ft center field. Holy cow

    If your son is an Illinois resident they're not going to let him buy beer. I turned 21 over 2 months ago but was told at Wrigley that I couldn't buy beer because my ID says "Under 21 Until January 31, 2008". When I explained that it says UNTIL a date that has already passed, the manager told me that while "there was no denying" that I'm 21, it's the policy of the house not to sell to anyone who has "under 21 until" on their ID. It's probably the dumbest policy I've ever heard of -- in place no doubt to prevent the morons who check IDs from getting "confused". The result is that now I either need to go to the DMV to get a license that isn't expired, get someone to buy me beer, or use a fake -- which are never sniffed out.

    Neifi also bunted with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth. It might have been runners on 2nd and 3rd. I'd remember, but I was at the game and was so infuriated I didn't know what to do with myself.

    It was awesome sitting in the RF bleachers yesterday. I can't wait to go again.

    Ok, if I can't get a second on this, I feel compelled to make a case. 1. Great opening riff that builds in intensity before the first scream of "I'm back!" 2. Good high energy song to fire up the crowd once it gets going 3. ClicheWeb defines "Back in the saddle" as "to return to something, some activity, after a hiatus; to return to a task after an injury or setback" (http://www.cambiaresearch.com/ClicheWeb/Cliche_Details.aspx?id=4096) 4. Maybe a reach- but a saddle makes me think of Texas, his home state. Finally, check out the video the the NFL used for the 2003 kickoff, and tell me this wouldn't be a good song. http://youtube.com/watch?v=tjFQUzMVnsw I just got pumped thinking about that

    Why even respond to such posts with any fervor at all? It seems like whenever someone posts here who doesn't know what they're talking about (e.g. uses non-rate or other essentially useless stats to back up a point) 50 people jump at the chance to "educate" those who simply don't want to learn. Then there's a lot of frustration when the individual who knows very little about the kind of baseball we talk about does not understand our methodologies. Why not save your breath?

    Sorry for having to stoop this low... (Ahem) Staaaaaate Schoooool, Staaaaaaate Schoooool [/end pretention] P.S. I really want a good basketball team

    My cousin just had Thyroid cancer surgery. His case was very treatable; the surgery was just awkward and uncomfortable for him.

    I can't speak for others, but I'll be drunk as hell in the bleachers taunting you for your team's horrible defense and fat city/state. I will also be throwing some Brett Favre jabs in there. See you at the game!

    :rotfl: This was posted on page 3. Yeah, that's right... all me... :grin:

    I have a feeling that Dice-K is going to regress, not improve -- like every other Japanese starter. MLB players have gotten a good enough look at him, imo.

    Is this pure speculation on your part or did you read it somewhere... I brought this up a while ago and was shot down because of DeRosa's suspect range at SS. I'd love it if the Cubs were to give him a shot there, but I haven't heard it discussed anywhere but this board.

    In what business school would such a useless strategy be taught? Only someone trying to sell something that is hot or who is desperate does such a thing. I wouldn't go so far to call it Negotiating 101, as there are several different tactics one can use in bargaining, but think there is some validity to such a strategy. Making a "take it or leave it" offer can oftentimes be insulting to the person who is considering selling. Of course, when making that kind of offer does work, you look like a genius. I just think that we need to keep in mind the fact that the Orioles front office isn't exactly an old lady looking to sell her house before she dies.

    Does anyone else think now that we signed Johnson, that Hendry may add Pie to this thing, and pull back some others? No, I don't see it. Also, with Reed Johnson on board, it looks like we won't have to take Jay Payton anymore. If I had to guess, Murton and Cedeno is 2/3 or 1/2 of the package that would end up going to Baltimore. That's more like what I was thinking...

    Marquis Grissom was named after his dad's neighbor's Grand Marquis. True story.

    Shut-up douche. I just lol'd in the middle of the library. :lol: :lol:
