  1. Wow that is some interesting logic Yeah, that makes no sense. this deal was done because of the decision to not bring back wood. it wasn't a choice between keeping woody and trading for gregg. The end result is, Gregg will be there instead of Woody. As for saving 4-5 million -- that seems like a pretty small amount of money for a team to be unloading an all-star pitcher with a 1.085 WHIP when they're already spending over 100 million and talking about taking on more. you're talking about a 4-year commitment to a guy with an arm put together by duct tape. i don't necessarily like the trade for gregg or even gregg himself, really, but woody was long gone and the deals had nothing to do with each other besides the fact that we needed another body in there. Going with Gregg instead of wood this year is only a difference of $5 mil, but it's a difference of over $30 mil over the lifetime of his would be contract. you really want to make that commitment? i don't It's change for this team with a payroll that might push $150 million and will undoubtedly expand even more as we go along. $40 million over 4 years to a guy whose career was an inch away from being done just over a year ago is not change how can you seriously believe yourself BUT TELL ME WHAT PLAYER WE COULD SIGN WITH THAT MONEY THAT MAKES US BETTER. ANSWER ME THAT seriously. i don't get how anyone can think this way. i mean, soul, try and look more than 6 months into the future, man. You are very convinced that Wood's arm is going to fall off. It didn't this year, with full duty. If it's that certain, then no other team should offer him more than a couple years. If they do, and it works out, we'll talk. $4-$5 million per year is just not that much money for this ballclub. That's pretty much Blanco money. In 4 years it will be even less. You really think Wood is only going to get 4-5 a year? He's talking about the difference between wood and gregg for this year which is stupid considering wood's contract will run another 3 years or so past this one

  6. anaheim to replace krod i really don't want to see him in the NL. i don't know why i'm being such a girl about all of this St Louis. please god, i don't think i could take it I know that one of the predictor, free agent things, sites had him ending up there. That would be just too much. i can't even picture this. i'd probably cheer for him if he struck out the side against us. I wouldn't know what to do.

  8. pederast did you at least get some funny looks from their parents?
  9. i know, this was the guy i wanted dammit i hope he sucks and makes me look like an idiot, at least

  11. well, it's a good baseball move, i guess, but damn if it doesn't make me kind of sad
  12. first thing i thought of, too we just traded one of our better chips for a guy lou is going to pin to the bullpen bench 10 innings into his cubs career
  13. not quite only a mere 19 reb 10 rejections and 30 pts at one point in the first half he went over another magic defender and swatted a 15-foot jumper i mean, what the hell
  14. well, im about to head out to okc to watch dwight howard pull down 25 rebounds against our miserable front line
  15. babe ruth looks like a photoshop what a goof
  16. derrick rose is a prayer. i was about to disagree with you but i started going through the other true PGs in the league and you might be right. Those are certainly the only two i'd take over him going forward.
  17. uhhhh duh, doesn't anyone remember sweet swinging billy's phone call to jim hendry as hendry was completing the harden deal
  18. make him a mod quote it if youre down
  19. every post is better than the last
  20. Seriously. Dude, go to a dentist. uhhhhh
  21. 8-2, in first place of my keeper league. drafting philip rivers, deangelo williams and michael turner ended up being a pretty good idea. might have to start thinking about keeping rivers over manning this year.
  22. ive got a buddy in real estate up there and he said peavy was house hunting yesterday
  23. andy dolan is pretty terrible buuuuuuuuuuuut http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/madhops_42/peavybelieve.jpg
  24. And Loney came in 7th place. I mean, there were question on whether Loney was a rookie or not in 2007. MLB has since removed Loney from the standings. BTF speculates that it was a programming error on their side. $elig :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
