Yeah, there don't seem to be any rumors and more just idle speculation in all of those links. And I don't understand how the Alexa Ranking would work, but aren't you potentially talking about comparing numbers between 312Sports and a board about the Cubs when the Cubs haven't played a game in almost three months?

Your articles are very bad and your new website is a terrible idea. And here's the search as per your own suggestion: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22mcgrady+to+bulls%22&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

Almost all of them, and there's barely even a page's worth of hits from the search in the first place.

HEY GUYS I HEAR THAT SHAWN KEMP MIGHT BE TRADED TO THE BULLS PASS IT ON.

So random discussions on NSBB are being spun as trade rumors on 312 Sports?

Week 16: Bears vs. Vikings, Mon. 7:30 P.M., ESPN
Sammy Sofa replied to NCCubFan's topic in Other Sports
If Lovie's fired in the offseason, Jerry Angelo and everyone else in the front office will probably get to keep their jobs for another two years since the team will want to give the new coaching staff as much leeway as possible. However, if Lovie gets another season and the Bears lay another egg, I think there will be a bloodbath in Halas Hall from top to bottom. I'd be okay with that scenario, especially since a lot of the problems with this team seem to stem from poor decision making on the part of the front office. I think the silver lining is that Ron Turner's fate seems sealed no matter what. I can potentially live with one more year of Lovie so long as they hire a capable OC. -
Week 16: Bears vs. Vikings, Mon. 7:30 P.M., ESPN
Sammy Sofa replied to NCCubFan's topic in Other Sports
Getting invited to go to this game I figured I was in for a long, miserable evening in the stands. Glad I was wrong. That was a lot of fun to see in person. -
I don't think so. Why would they be worse than, say, the Houston Astros?
-
Because it's a ridiculous idea to think that when a player has to make a play or step into the batter's box that their performance at that moment is going to suffer because of Milton Bradley. Unless Milton Bradley has told them something like that he will kill their family if they do well on the field then there is absolutely no excuse for blaming poor or subpar performance on the field on one guy being a sulky jerk in the clubhouse.

Nice night for Rose.

Seems like the story cancels itself out.

Re: Cubs Step up pursuit of Byrd
Sammy Sofa replied to Sever82's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Agreed with the middle infield. I'd love to get Hudson or Uggla and trade Fontenot. I'll pass on Crisp, I think injuries have taken their toll on him. I'd just go with Fuld/Colvin instead of signing a guy like Crisp or Pods. Fuld/Colvin should be nothing but an absolute last resort. That's a horrible option. If a Church/Reed platoon could be had cheaper than Byrd I definitely could tolerate that, but how realistic is it that the two of them together would be cheaper then Byrd? I really think people need to stop wanting DeRosa back. Old, bad year, wrist injury...bad combo. He's not a good option offensively or defensively at this point. Along those lines I definitely agree with not wanting Crisp. Too much of a risk. -
Who is doing that?
-
Productive, yes. Fully healthy, no. And I didn't necessarily want Hendry to keep him for both of the remaining years of his contract; I would have preferred for him to try and move Bradley before the deadline or next offseason.
-
Or teams are eating that kind of money because they're really, really dumb. It's amazing how many people can't see the difference between not re-signing a player and trading a productive player in the middle of a contract after they've done everything possible to help torpedo their leverage in moving him. Bringing up Milton's variety of teams is totally glossing over how few times he's actually been traded and how his injury history would obviously weigh on decisions to bring him back. There's the personality issues, but it's not like they're the only reason why he wouldn't be re-signed by a team. It basically amounts to repeatedly screaming "LOOK HOW MANY TEAMS HE'S BEEN ON" as if he's been bounced from every team because of personality issues and hoping that nobody actually looks into that.

Theriot's like the Eddie Haskell to the fans'/media's Mrs. Cleaver.
-
He might have owed up to it when being asked by the media. But he sure as heck didn't like it was all his fault. Basically when Milton was unhappy, he made everybody around him unhappy. Ryan Theriot was next to his locker and thats basically what he said. This still doesn't make any sense, and it makes evern less sense with every story that tries to spin it like everyone else was on the same page except for Milton. If everyone else in the clubhouse gets along, who cares if one guy is in a bad mood? Is everyone else that weak and fragile emotionally and mentally that one guy sulking or being a jerk means everyone else can't get along? If that was the case then shouldn't that place be a wreck every year due to Zambrano alone? Maybe Milton Bradley just didn't want to talk to Ryan-fuckin'-Theriot. It's probably annoying as crap to listen to some hick, Ed Hardy-wearing dwarf acting like he's the isht.
-
Except for the key points that are completely wrong, like Milton not owning up to when he performed poorly or not being able to play with the pressure of what was going on.
-
It seems like people talk about Milton's year in Chicago as if he got worse or couldn't perform on-field as things got more "controversial," yet the exact opposite was true. He got better and better with each month until September, and he only played 14 games in September. April/March: .118 .333 .294 .627 (14 games) May: .268 .348 .439 .787 (24 games) June: .273 .377 .348 .725 (22 games) July: .275 .457 .420 .878 (24 games) August: .308 .427 .484 .911 (26 games) September/October: .196 .226 .275 .501 (14 games) At Wrigley: .296 .407 .485 .892 (65 games) I don't understand why some people insist he simply would be unable to deal with the fans at Wrigley. He seemed to actually thrive on playing in a hostile environment.

Hee-seop Choi Climbs a Big Fucking Mountain
Sammy Sofa replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That's what happens when a thread title is so goddamned obtuse. -
... THE CUBS' BAD SEASON HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CHEMISTRY. Bad chemistry didn't take out Aramis for almost half a season, make Soriano and Soto terrible or turn 2nd base a nightmare of pain and suffering and despair until Jeff Baker showed up. Team chemistry had zilch to do with this team reguarly going out there with 3-5 offensive dead spots in the lineup. Carlos Silva will not help rest the bullpen. They don't have to let him pitch.
-
This divorce news is great. The sooner Tiger gets back to golf the better. He's got a ton of of [expletive]-talking punks to school and it's going to be epic.
-
That's still not a sure thing. I think what may be most telling in all this is how Ricketts stated that he set a strict limit as to how much of Bradley's contract the Cubs would be willing to pick up. We never found out what that limit was, but I suppose it was possible he told Hendry, "listen up, we're not paying ANYTHING to wipe up after your [expletive] up," or he came to that conclusion when it became clear that other teams expected the Cubs to pay too much of Bradley's contract to get anyone of value in return. It was painfully obvious to anyone with two brain cells that Hendry was backed into the corner by his own actions and statements. The reports of multiple teams being interested could easily have been true, but it's likely they were demanding that the Cubs pay most of the contract.

I dunno, I guess it's a story. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/choi.jpg http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2009/12/former-cub-hee-seop-choi-has-been-to-the-mountaintop.html

Like I said you can believe whatever reason why the Cubs sucked last season as a why to sleep at night. I chose smorgabord of reasons that includes bad chemistry. If you don't believe in bad chemistry then so be it. I do think bad chemistry play a part. Now move on. Why do you keep talking about sleep? It's weird and creepy. So you think if the Cubs all got along great last year they would have been better? And, from what we can tell, it seems like the only person anyone had any issues with was Bradley. You're telling me that all of the people on the roster apparently get along or at least don't have any problems, but ONE guy can destroy all of that? It doesn't matter if the others are all buddy-buddy so long as one guy is a jerk? That's absurd. You're the one making up ridiculous excuses to justify this, not me.
