  1. I was wondering why Hill's name was not listed to begin with. Could be had cheap, has MLB experience and had success, only needs mental tweeks. Why not take a flier on him when he could start 30 games this season for them.
  2. I'm impressed they spelled everything correctly.
  3. Notre Dame lost Nyshier Oliver as another decommit. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/aroundthebend/
  4. I thought that was going away after this coming draft.
  5. Ok, espn says Garrett Olsen was traded for Heilman. hmmm
  6. What does the amount he paid have to do with his commitment to winning? Agreed. It just shows how ridiculous this article is. Hendry has basically painted the new owner into a corner on Peavy. Everybody in Chicago believes that the Cubs can get Peavy and all that Hendry is waiting for is the approval of the new owner. If Ricketts doesn't give the approval, he will get bashed endlessly for being a cheapskate, and the beginning of his tenure as the new owner will start off on the wrong foot. If he gives the green light to get Peavy, he starts off as a hero, serious about winning. Masterstroke on Hendry's part. I dont think any of this is Hendry's fault. He never went to the media the first time around, that was Tower's. He still isn't going to the media now. He pretty much did everything he was supposed to do as a GM. It would look much worse if he never made an effort for Peavy at all.
  7. Can take him off the wanted listed for a couple of years now. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3861561
  8. I think that was with anyone they would trade Peavy too. I think they would take any legit top prospect, but they a number of pitchers regardless.
  9. So does the East get homeice advantage in the Stanley Cup Finals now ;-)?
  10. my name is Isuckatthis
  11. Easily one of the best that I can remember and with some depth on the bench.
  12. Here is what I am not understanding about the theoretical dumping of Peavy. The Cubs know that the Pads are determined, nay mandated to dump salary in order to reach their budget for this season. So what is stopping them from making the return for him criminally low? We want Peavy, but you're going to do it for what we want otherwise trade away everyone else on your team without a no-trade clause. Why don't the Cubs just offer Nate Spears or less? Why don't they ask for the Padres to throw in a prospect in return for their trouble. Is there a price that *is* too low? Would it even be possible for the Cubs to lowball the Padres? If anyone finds out the Padres are willing to take fifty cents on the dollar for Peavy then whats to stop the Braves from jumping back in it. They don't need him either but hell if he is that cheap then why not. The Cubs had to offer that much to begin with just to be competitive in the race.
  13. Carlos outslugged Dunn.
  14. Wenger + Cesc + Kaka = How much?
  15. :evil: . I don't know if Wenger will leave, but I don't like them trying.

    i'm sure it's nice, but i'm just as sure that it's not a top 3 golf course in florida....for $79 a round it may be top 3 in it's price range, but not overall. btw, what did you shoot? and what tees did you play from? $79 would not get me passed the gate for a top 5 course in Dallas. Thats a great price. Here are my two main courses to play this year. http://www.cowboysgolfclub.com/sites/courses/newpage.asp?id=285&page=5844 http://www.tour18-dallas.com/sites/courses/layout9.asp?id=422&page=11996 All 18 are simulated from PGA Championship holes. I really just want to play #9, its the replica of the 17th at Sawgrass.
  17. Can Hendry have contact with a new owner even if he has not been approved by MLB.

    Some of us can still play, it was 72 here yesterday.
  19. They could always think by Visa, meaning the legal right to be in the country and not the Credit Card and not show up.
  20. One reason that Dunn is getting so few offers is that he wants to play the OF. Some teams had interest in him as either a first baseman or DH, but Dunn wasn't particularly interested in that. I don't think Dunn is really an upgrade over Lee, and he isn't going to take a 4 year deal that only pays him 7.5 mil a season.
  21. Texas is on the verge of having a very nice team in about 2 years.
  22. What's the over/under on Steeler's helmet to helmet hits?
