    Just in case you missed, he wasn't implying they aren't studs, just thought (as did I) that it was funny that a professional web site would refer to players as studs. I could've sworn that the term "young studs" was pretty normal in baseball journalism. In opinion columns, but not on official "corporate" web sites. Ok, this is way too off-topic. Back to the topic at hand - does NSBB officially endorse this deal or not? :P

    This is what I was referring to. A professional web site using "studs" is a little off. "Highly rated prospects" is one thing, but I still think it is funny that a professional website is talking about "studs" in the minor leagues. Of course, they have to keep their few fans' interest somehow I guess.

    Oops.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: at the photoshopping

    That's what I was referring to. Jim's pretty good with scooping up good prospects from other teams...I'll bet whoever it is, has a decent shot at one day playing big league ball at a high level.

    From the Marlins site. I thought that was pretty funny. :D

    No it is not old, and that is REALLY GOOD news...the best part is this blurb: Not only would we not have to give up more than two prospects, but Hendry looks to squeeze a pitching prospect out of Florida. I'm not a huge Pierre fan, but I really like this deal if it happens as printed.

    My free agent contest ballot (on which I had Clemens retiring) is smiling at the moment...

    Wow, I want to see something done but we shouldn't need three highly rated prospects for a one-year rental from a team selling their team for spare parts. Again, Cub fan myopia. "Highly-rated prospects?" Here's Rotoworld's take (boldface is mine)-- The Chicago Tribune believes the Cubs are offering pitchers Sergio Mitre, Ricky Nolasco and Renyel Pinto to the Marlins for Juan Pierre. Not bad, though the Marlins could try to do better. If acquired, Mitre would go right into Florida's rotation. The other two should probably begin the year in Triple-A. Dec. 7 - 12:53 am et Yep, Cub fans wearing Harry's glasses might be a more accurate phrase. Like Choi, and Cruz, and Hill and countless other crappy prospects traded away when Cubs fans thought they were sooo good. Just make the trade and get someone who will be guaranteed to be our leadoff guy and then gocus on SS/RF. None of the pitchers mentioned have a higher ceiling than #3 and that's only one of them perhaps. They aren't as good as we think they are. If I'm wrong, I'll eat a lot of crow. As I recall, Choi got us DLee, Hill helped us get Ramirez, and before the 2003 season I remember reading (in SI, not just a Chicago-based publication) we could have traded Cruz straight up for Shea Hillenbrand if we'd wanted to. That to me sounds pretty good.

    I will refrain from making comment$. That's ridiculous. 1400 dollars of DVDs? How does any college STUDENT have that much money, let alone a football player that doesn't have time to get a fulltime job in the summers?
  11. Andy
    Tough call. I'd give the edge to the Colts just because the media jumps all over any team that starts 8-0 or better, adding more pressure. The Colts also don't have the luxury of recruiting all the best college players just to be backups for them. (No I'm not bitter.)

    :lol: :lol: Lima: "C'mon Angel, where's your money?" This is where I have to draw the line. Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Benson is attractive, but my God she's not even as hot as my wife. If I'm going to cheat, it's got to be a move up. Have you seen Mrs. Lima? Now, THAT'S HOT!! =P~ My original post was in reaction to Anna Benson's claim (I believe on Howard Stern) that if Kris cheated on her, she would "have relations" with every player on his team. I believe she went on to even included the trainers, bat boys, etc...you'll have to ask Vance though, I think he has it memorized. :lol: Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how it went. That led to the PTI guys joking about how all the Mets were taking up a collection to get a really hot hooker to sleep with Kris. :D

    Something tells me this post is going to lead directly to another ten pages of replies. Apparently not. It's almost worth keeping this post up so people can see that someone out there still thinks we can bat CPatt 2nd...

    It would have to be Non-Cubs non-MLB, as all the baseball news can fit in baseball discussions, rivalries, or transactions. Isn't Social our non-Cubs sports discussion forum?

    When did anyone say that Pierre will never return to his career numbers? I've heard several people say 'what if?', but not with the authority that people talk about Lee's career year. At this point I'm fine with pulling the trigger on a Pierre deal. It's unlikely that Pinto AND Nolasco will amount to a whole lot as a major leaguer and quite possible that neither will do much, whereas Pierre would fill a hole right away. Then trade Patterson, a Rule 5 arm, and a bucket of balls for Bradley, and we have a pretty decent team, especially if Murton picks up where he left off.

    Danny F. Jackson!! Todd "The Turd" Hundley. Bump Wills. Ron Cey. Kevin Tapani. Henry Rodriguez. Jaime Navarro. Randy Myers. Rod Beck. Candy Maldonado. Dave Smith. Jason Bere. Flash Gordon. Benito Santiago. That settles it - God hates the Cubs. Glad to see you're on board. :lol:
  18. Andy
    From what has been said on this board, we should be able to get Bradley for less than Walker - Patterson and a Rule 5 arm should do the job.

    Did the royalty thing collapse and crush Baker and Morgan to death? If not...darn.

    I love how two of you posted Dusty-bashing jokes about the order at the exact same time, and they both made complete sense. :D
  22. Andy
    Chase Coffman got shafted. So did Fasano :D Just kidding, congrats to Lewis. Heck of a year. I knew that Lewis would win over Fasano. Absolutely no problem with it, either. Lewis should be a 1st-rounder easy. I think Fasano will be good in the NFL, too, actually.
  23. Andy
    Let's hope they play like that at Worthen Arena against BSU on New Year's Eve. We might have a prayer then.
  24. Andy
    Well any hope of Dusty leaving is now gone...
  25. Andy
    Nolasco/Pinto for Pierre, I could stomach. I still wish they'd get Bradley though.
