    Can Billy Baseball really play second base? I kept hearing about moving him, and I know (think) he played some there in the past. Why wouldnt this move have been made already? It's not like he has the bat for 3rd base anyway.

    well, at least there's a 50% chance of me not hating the cubs. 1 out of 3 doesnt equal 50% :P

    That's what it was like last year in KC, too. I didnt see one Colorado fan there the entire time, Im pretty sure they dont have fans or something.

    if jim wasnt asleep at the wheel, we'd already have our closer and we wouldnt have had to sign dumpster to that ridiculous contract

    when the hell did this happen? im just about done with the jerks who run the cubs hahah he seriously better be, otherwise that "its ok, lets let kerry throw out of the bullpen for no reason" thing is going to look mighty stupid. mighty stupid indeed

    Those are totally different scenarios. Pujols is like 25, he's the best hitter in the game, and he's signed long term. Miggy is 22 and hasnt even signed his first contract. Vlad is two years removed from signing his contract and has a long history of sustained success.

    I dont think trading Lee would work. It's not like we're on to some secret here. He's almost 30, has a year left on his contract, and will probably never approach what he did last year. A guy like that isnt going to get someone like Miggy, or Vlad or something like that, and those are the only type of guys it would make sense to trade him for.

    Are we supposed to ignore his '05 numbers? No. You are supposed to consider whether they are the norm or the exception. No. You need to decide whether at this stage, he is worth the risk of banking on it not turning into the norm. That is exactly what someone does when they "consider whether they (his '05 stats) are the norm or the exception". So you may have wanted to start your response with the word "yes" instead of "no". I dont think it is. Obviously his 05 numbers are the exception so far, everyone who says "HE HAS A CAREER .350 OBP" points this out pretty well. The question isnt whether 05 is an exception or the norm, its whether it will be. Again, that is the same thing. When one is trying to figure out whether what just happened recently is the exception or the norm, they are essentially trying to predict the future. So... No they arent. Obviously 05 is the exception, the question is will he revert back to the norm, when he was useful, or will the exception (worthless) become the norm. I mean, really, we're just arguing semantics. I imagine we both have the same feelings about Pierre.

    I guess part two of this article covers Furcal's career .64isop Pierre's career .50isop, right in line with last years. This is just another article written by a caveman that hasnt discovered obp yet.

    How would UCLA get screwed. They would win the PAC-10 and get an automatic berth, right? I'm still unclear on this. I thought I read that USC could lose and still win the PAC-10 If UCLA defeats USC, there would be a 3-way tie for first place (Oregon, USC, UCLA). Then they'd go to losses against common opponents - losing to a worse team is worse. Obviously, UCLA will be eliminated there. Obviously it's their fault for losing to a bad Arizona team. But that 1 loss has more than likely eliminated UCLA from a BCS game, which I think is a screw job. If UCLA beats USC they should get an at-large over ND since ND's claim to fame is that they almost beat USC. I think Notre Dame's claim to fame is that they didn't get beaten by 35 points by Arizona. But I agree that if UCLA wins, it'd be hard not to give them a bid - certainly harder than denying Oregon. What team has ND beat that was any good, besides Michigan?

    It was a photoshop job. How do you know that? Look at the pic closer. If it were on tv the video would be floating around. So, maybe it wasn't taken off of video. Thousands of people have taken still cameras to games. I'm pretty sure that was a real picture. are you kidding me? Look at Mac's arms in that picture, one is horribly small because it was photoshopped. I mean, its a funny picture, but it's one of the most obvious photoshops ever.
