Yes.

Grace also had no problem spending the night boozing and chasing tail, yet Farnsworth is the bad guy for doing the same.

It's not like this was gonna go anywhere else. People don't care about chickens because they're delicious and never puppies.

Just be sure that a [expletive] is warmed up and stretched out before it goes into action.

Well if you like that Cylvia Browne, John Edward psyhic type of inside info --- OH may be your gig. For most of us, we could just sit around and guess just as well and be just as accurate. Those guys have been behind in regard to all of the Bedard/ Roberts rumors for weeks. According to them Roberts to the Cubs was a done deal and verified by two sources a month ago. I'm sure if we had members on this board that claimed to have inside contacts and were 99% wrong all of the time, we would be on them just the same. But again, what are they doing besides reporting what they've heard on their own website? They're not the ones posting it here, yet people talk about them like they're doing it to mess with us. It sounds like in the past these guys generally had a very good reputation for getting some leaks or scoops in terms of club activity, but this offseason has been extremely off kilter for a number of reasons. For one, it sounds like the organization has been trying to crack down on leaks. Secondly, we've heard differening quotes, rumors and claims seemingly originating from the Orioles' organization itself, making the confusion even worse. It's not like the OH guys are the only ones who have been caught up in with bad or changed info coming from the Orioles. If they hear something, they post it on their board. Again, why is it anything to get mad over or seemingly act like we've been attacked or insulted? We haven't. I think most people that are joking about the "insiders" are doing so because they don't really believe they are "insiders". And the fact that we even still refer to them as "insiders" is an insult to true "insiders". Most people that have read OH within the last 2 months can be honest with themselves and admit that there are no insiders on the board and that most of the so called inside info has been incorrect. Maybe it is due to the fact that the O's have cracked down on leaks, but the end result is still the same. Except that they've scooped penty of moves before. It's beyond just joking about it when, like you just did, people go out of their way to talk them down, again, as if they're doing something wrong. The reason they were quoted here in the first place is because they had the rep of scooping moves made by their team.

Still trying to understand why some people here need to spout vitriol at the guys from OH as if they're doing anything besides posting what they've heard. Who cares if they end up being wrong?

Please don't suck all the [expletive] out of this thread.

I'd love my [expletive] so much if he won.

There's nothing about a couple of [expletive] smacking together that needs to be filtered.

Yes, we want to see video of some [expletive] going at it. Pedro's anti-[expletive] attitude is distressing. Nobody likes seeing a bloodied [expletive]. [expletive].

Play DeRosa or Patterson there and pray?

What's wrong with superballs?

Is that because you are convinced that the weak hitting Felix Pie will be in the everyday line-up as well? Which could be tolerated if Hendry hadn't been oblivious about SS for the last year+.

This thread is active because it's the closests thing to offseason activity that the Cubs have right now, and there's been at least shreds of validity to it along the way. Nothing indicates the Cub are doing anything to get a new SS, yet you want us to start a new thread to talk about their non-moves to get a new SS. Makes complete sense.

This is a sad, sad day. I'm finally facing the reality of a Theriot/Cedeno tandem at SS, and I can't stop screaming and crying tears of blood.

Feel good? Feh. You'll be waiting forever.

Absolutely ridiculous. If they were "desperate" to get him to hit elsewhere, they would have just switched him out last year and put a combo of, say, Murton and DeRosa at the top.

I know why - because Hendry is the only one who will pay such a ridiculous price for Roberts. Doubtful.

I would have zero problem seeing Bonds crush it as a Cub. Never gonna happen, but it would be awesome.

I'm sure you're wrong.

Baseball isn't a video game.

I think Meph is somebody posting on the internets.

Depends on the situation. If he's replacing Pie because Pie was dealt as part of a deal to net us Greene, hells yes he's better than Pie. Oh, if only...
