    At this point even the two of them might not know what's actually happening. ](*,) Wouldn't suprise me if neither of those two even know where they are from moment to moment. Pretty sure Angelos has no clue to what is going on, but he hasn't had a clue in over 10 years. "Wait, wait, wait...I own a BASEBALL team?!?"

    Calling them our three "top" pitching prospects is the same as calling Roberts an "all star." It's all contextual and doesnt' really matter. What matters is how they grade out as prospects. They're only "top" prospects because they're in our system. In reality, none of them are A prospects. Yeah, but it's all we really have, in terms of prospects potentially able to step in relatively soon OR prospects that are going to hae some trade value. Trading them now on a good player who is arguably very redundant and doesn't address the teams major holes could very easily leave the team damn near crippled if the precarious starting pitching balance falls apart AND if they need to make key trades by the deadline.

    Yeah, we're on the verge of falling out of the srping training playoff race. Unacceptable.

    Stop generalizing like they're only giving up "four position players." Three of those players are three of their top pitching prospects...pitching prospects who very well may be needed given how crappy/old our last two starting pitching spots look this year, or i injuris hit the other starters.

    I didn't say anything about the high socks affecting actual physical ability. Neifi single-handedly campaigned to have the Mendoza line renamed the Perez line, sure, but at least he was wearing his socks properly while doing it. no, im saying he looked like an idiot Neifi's bulbous ass and chicken legs and general awfulness ensured he looked like an idiot no matter how he dressed.

    No kidding on both. If this deal goes through, despite their histronics, the Orioles have a pretty damn impressive offseason in terms of rebuilding their team.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, those blacks! Countdown to this thread being blamed on booze in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
  9. Sammy Sofa
    I understood exactly what you said, and yes, everyone obviously wants more than to just contend in this crappy division...but at the same time, basic analysis shows that at the very least the Cubs should do that, so why do they need to shell out so much for someone like Roberts when the trade deadline is still so far away and so many other players could be become available in that time?
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Roberts isn't worth all that. Agreed. Throwing in a 3rd highly rated pitching prospect is ridiculous. Cedeno and a combo of 2 of the other 3 is aready more than he's worth.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    There is zero about Brian Roberts that is "once in a lifetime," as an individual or as part of a team.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Ichiro is hitting .040. UH-OH, PASKETTIO'S!!!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Kids The term "ginger" was around and common waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before SP jumped on the bandwagon. Compounded on that, I'm assuming you meant to say you didn't why know why anyone OVER the age of 15 still watches SP. The way you posted makes all of your other posts make even less sense.

    You've party pooped a time or two, mister. Yeah. Upper deckers, too.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Never gonna give you up, Rick. NEVER.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Thankfully, it's not his liver. Good to hear that it's very treatable. Rick is awesome.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    What, he has permission to walk to 1st if he gets a hit if he bats #2? Yet again, the Cubs prop up ye olde "a leadoff hitter has to be able to steal a ton of bases" chestnut for no real reason at all.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    But he still takes less pitches and he scores far fewer runs. Besides, you can't just subtract Soriano's intentional walks. The kind of player he is draws him more of those types of walks. Is the end result the same? Yes. It's a walk.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    At the very least, he's more patient than Soriano. Theriot takes fewer pitches.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Great point. the slow starters seem to be focusing only on the homers, but Lee was hitting like crazy. He was racking up doubles like nobody's business.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    You are absolutely zero fun.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Not really. Hillary could quit tonight. It could go all the way to the convention. And even if we do know the specific date the primary will die, the discussion could still continue. Both are going to live for the next couple weeks, because even if either thing hits a climax within a day or two, the discussion will continue. Even if it goes to the end, there's a set date as to when it will end. Even if it morphs into a national election thread, we know when that will end, too. If his point is to wonder when general political discussion will end as opposed to a thread about a Baltimore Oriole, well, then it's an even dumber comparison than I thought. My final thought on this whole mess is this:

    IT'S MARCH 12TH. What's your point? This is Spring Training. The time players need to get back to the grind, get their grooves back, brush up on the basics. Lee is not hitting. Lou wants him to work on it. Where is the problem? There is no problem. Lee not hitting in spring traning isn't a problem. Yeah, I'd rather him get off to a slow start again, no since in rushing him, he'll show up in June. He had a slow start last year coming off of a wrist injury. Traditionally, that was the exception, since he almost never has a "slow start" once the ACTUAL season starts.
