    I am eagerly, and I mean eagerly, anticipating this thread.

    so you voted for IMB!? Like I said, I think the choice was fairly easy. Ask yourself the question and I'm sure you can reach the same conclusion. I'm operating under the assumption that you think IMB! is an unfunny, pompous jackass. What I'm wondering is, are those the qualities you believe the winner of this competition should possess? Ahh, now I see. No, I'm voting against the possessor of those qualities. Hahaha, who the f is this guy? If you want to hate me, cut the bs and just be honest. You hate me because you wish you were me. It's ok, you're probably one of like 15 people from this message board alone.

    Really nice pics, Roast. Remember when Pie was skinny? He's really added a lot of weight. Stop me now before I start thinking he might actually turn out well.

    He really isnt tied up in the Balco stuff. You mean, like, besides admitting to using a cream supplied by BALCO?

    Interesting. So Kent and Santo have identical OPS+. That's still hard to believe that 350 homers back then took the same effort as it is does now. It's not just about home runs, though. Kent has 517 doubles in 7786 at-bats. Santo had 365 doubles in 8143 at-bats.

    I want to say it was 04, but at that point the Kerry hate had only begun, so it might have been 05.

    Looking at Ronnie's numbers and considering the pitching dominated era in which he played, it's a complete travesty he isn't in. OPS+ normalizes stats for park and league effects (in other words, it gives a decent basis of comparison across generations). I completely agree with you on Ronnie, but Jeff Kent has an equal OPS+ over a longer career and at a position where offense is more of a premium, although with average to below average defense. with everything in the balance, it's pretty hard to say Santo should be in, then turn around and say Kent shouldn't be. Good point. Looking again at their stats, they are nearly identical at this point: Santo: 342 HR, 2254 hits, 125 OPS Kent: 354 HR, 2247 hits, 125 OPS I'm not a stat head, so maybe you can explain to me how OPS gives equivalence between their ERA's. Santo absolutely played in a less powerful era and hitter friendly era. I don't know, Kent's numbers for a player who played in this era just don't scream HOF at me. But 342 homers for a person who played in the 60's does scream HOF. Ronnie also was a much more slick fielder. Maybe you can LOOK SOMETHING UP FOR YOURSELF? just kidding

    I've been. The skanky ho's with daddy issues pull that stuff, not most others. I'm at the beach every weekend in one of the most morally casual places in the country. That stuff doesn't just happen all the time. It only happens with skanks. I guess my friends are skanks then. pfft, I could have told you that. Well in all fairness i guess i could say the same since ive seen a pic of you and some big boob blonde girl in the poster pics discussion. Just because some one is 'hot' or whatever doesnt make them a skank. I wouldnt know a skank until i met and socialized with them. Skank is how you live not just how you look. In other words, ive never met a skank on the internet i didnt like. She's just a really nice girl with a big rack. That doesn't make you a ho. I was just giving OMC a hard time, I bet if you asked him, he'd tell you they were skanks with no hesitation.

    Ah dont mind him. We have a history. He is still upset about the CP thing. Hopefully he will grow up soon. Until then, i just let everything he says roll down my back. We are all passionate Cub fans and have differing opinions on things but want the same result. But ty for the thought though. Hey, we have a lot of OF, so why don't we trade Pie for a 27 year old in AAA, and a couple of middle relievers. Seriously, it was that stupid.

    TOUGH ONE! I love Anze, but RocketSauce is my homeboy. I thought about abstaining, but I think that Rocket stands a better chance in round two, due to longevity

    I almost voted for MoJ based on his crazy spelling bee knowledge. Seriously, how is it possible to know this stuff? In the end, though, I just loved myself too much. PS I can't block anyone. Premium is for weenies.

    wrong thread? I dont think so, a fwe guys were talking about their beginnings on the board. r u a chick

    If we seriously hit them with a deal like Hoffpauir, Howry, and Cotts/Cherry or some other young pitcher (not Guzman or Marmol or any of our current starters), how in God's name would Schuerholz turn that down? Ahahahahahah, how can anyone ever take you seriously ever again?

    I just picked up I'll Sleep When You're Dead the other day. Good stuff. It's good in the same way that Michael Jordan is good at basketball.

    Sulley just turned me on to him. I don't think I've ever been this in love in my life. I've downloaded everybit of El-P, Company Flo, Aesop Rock, etc etc I can find. The Overly Dramatic Truth might be the best song ever.

    Oh man, who was it that Tim wanted to trade for Lew Ford? I remember it being absolutely hilarious in retrospect.

    I dont think it's a buzzword. I do think it's a good idea in just about all cases.

    except that wasn't a curveball. :roll: curveball, fastball, foshball, gyroball, eephus, it doesn't matter. I can tell everything I need to know about a player from watching a handful of at-bats. What the hell is a vorp

    I just imagined Jesus being a dick about Lost, and I still haven't stopped laughing. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/madhops_42/jesusisadick.jpg

    My first post consisted of me calling Dontrelle Willis "kid". As in "that kid is something else". This is now one of my biggest pet peeves. I really hate myself.
