  1. His poop is used as currency in Argentina! That sounds about right for Argentina and anything that involves Maradona ;-)
  2. Onyewu might as well start looking for a house in the states. I don't think he is going back to Europe this season.
  3. 1-0 US. Should be more and I hope this is one of those games that the USSF really regrets not getting Klinsmann.
  4. First 22 minutes were good. Since then BBTN has been more entertaining.
  5. for the love of god Donovan. Your in the box with an open shot on goal. Can you at least get your shot above the 20mph mark.
  6. I hate Hejduk, and always have. I thought we were rid of him. He's terrible. Bocanegra stinks. I've also been unimpressed by Borenstein. I like Dempsey a lot. Donovan's good when he's not invisible. Me too. How is Johnthon Spector's development coming along?
  7. The entire backline is not good. Onyewu is playing for a contract so he needs to play great. Twellman can just not finish at the international level like he should. Beasley looks clumsy today.
  8. Let him finish. 108 pitches 75 for strike.
  9. Time for Dempsey to dance. Nice pass by Twellman. We could see them put up 3 or 4 today.
  10. If were hosting the Gold Cup lets at least arrange to have all the games the US plays in New England.
  11. Looks like no one is real excited to watch the Spurs tonight :-).
  12. Plus Zambrano in the AL where he can stick it to the White Sox all season long ;-). Even if we are in contention come the all-star break this doesn't look like a bad idea.
  13. Cubs fans are never happy. The Cubs could win the World Series and there would still be complaining going on here. No, there wouldn't. Cubs fans are never happy because the Cubs never do the right thing and never win. QFT. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be much complaining going on if the Cubs just won the World Series. OK. So I exaggerated. I still made my point though. And what was that point, that Cubs fans insatiable appetite for greatness means they will never be satisfied and always complaining? You are describing Yankees fans. Cubs fans complain with justification. And most Cubs fans believe they know more than the scouting director without even having seen the kids play in person.
  14. I will say that Jim Callis needs to be replaced though. My god someone get him some coffee.
  15. Yeah, I can't see this catching on. There can't be that many people that want to watch these people babble on and on. Would you rather watch WSOP reruns for the 512th this month?
  16. So is Manny but I would have no problem in him playing the OF for the Cubs.
  17. I can't wait. I wonder what the GM's and scouting directors think about having this televised. Not having the 1st round completed in about 3 minutes, and maybe even having to dress up about the event.
  18. what is the significance of this? He's Texan, it seems like every Texan flamethrower worships Nolan Ryan. One of my best friends growing up was named after Nolan Ryan. Clemens has never been anywhere close to worshiped like Ryan was. Of course now Ryan makes his mark building minor league stadiums throughout Texas. He could probably make a successful run for Governor if he wanted to.
  19. They also did well in acquiring Joel Guzman for Julio Lugo last year too. Timing is everything. They never make a trade too early.
  20. I think I am almost more interested in the U-20 World Cup than the Gold Cup right now. Should be a very good team, but in that group they might not even win a game. At the same time they could win the group.
  21. I dont think so. He has very good mechanics, and a very smooth, free and easy release. He is a very low risk to have an injury. Great mechanics means 27 minutes after signing his contract with the Cubs, the concrete stairs he is walking down crack causing him to fall on top of Felix Pie breaking Pie's leg while Parker dislocates his throwing shoulder.
  22. Hendry was also at Parkers start. And Vitters personally worked out with the Cubs (and Pirates). Who knows? I will be royally pissed if Wilkins pulls this again though. I'll be pissed too. No surprise picks please, go with what the consensus 3 is. Price at #3 would be a huge suprise, and one I will take ;-).
  23. He's 18 and posted an .894 OPS at low-A as a 17-year old last season. Thank you. I think most people fail to understand how incredible that is. Scouting well and at least holding his own in leagues way too advanced for his age is a great combination. So Zambrano for Milledge and Martinez, with Milledge or Pie then going to the Marlins with Veal, Murton, and anyone else they want for Cabrera.
  24. to get him to 100 career caps Jeez, wait for a friendly that Howard can't make it to, or didn't already start. In related news, I'm watching Green Street Hooligans right now. any good. its one I have been meaning to watch.
  25. I'd be pissed if someone did that to me in the middle of a messy divorce. It's a quote from his mom, so who knows if it's 100% accurate, but it fits with the next piece of evidence. Mrs. Dukes allegations may/may not be true, but she's certainly a gold digger. I'll wait until I see some hint of evidence that her allegations of death threats are true. There is nothing to substantiate her claims as far as I can tell. My first thing if I was involved in a divorce would be to either take her name off the account completely, or move my money to a place where she couldn't get to it. With that being said though, I would still be pissed if this happened. I don't think I'd threat her kids, and probably not her either but with tensions being strained with the current circumstances I could see it. At this point, I cut her off 100% until everything is settled in court and the papers are final. Asking for almost all of his pay is ludicrous, though. I'd be nice and give her around 15%. If she isn't happy with $4500 a month for 2 kids, I'd tell her to go blow it out her ear because she isn't getting any more. If she cleaned out his account a judge could take that into consideration, not to mention put a hold on all activity with her until the thing is settled. I am guessing if it is true it could be just an advance in alimony. Neither one is helping their case. If she was teaching my kids and I knew about this I would pull them from that school asap.
