    I bet you had decendants at Gettysburg in 1863 who wined that Lincoln sounded like a bitter old man. As HOF speeches go, Sandberg's was one of the best. Yeah, because Ryno's speech really compares to the Gettysburg Address. I have no idea what point you're even trying to make, other than trying to be a huge jerk. I bet when Herbie Hancock signed the declaration of independance on abraham nunez's hat, that you're grandpappy threw a fit!

    BP listed him as the #1 prospect in baseball before last season.

    That's one way to think about it but I think he's a gamer. He decided to forgo his ego and pitch out of the 'pen when he could have asked to be shut down. 'gamer' my... go get 'em Murton... Wood is injury prone but how can you argue that he wants to be hurt or doesnt want to pitch? The guy's heart can't be measured by physical limitations. I'm sure he'd love to make 30+ starts a year. if Wood was a true 'gamer', he'd pitch through real pain. this "twinge in my shoulder/ elbow/ back/" is laughable. it's one thing for a young pitcher to think about his future when the big payday is far off. quite another for K-Woody, when he's being paid far more than he's worth, and will EVER make again. my point is that there is no reason for Wood to keep shutting himself down because of a "twinge". you're being paid to pitch. take the ball, and suck it up son... Are you kidding me? He doesn't put himself on the dl. Jesus. no? then who keeps calling Rothchild to the mound, or telling Krusty they can't go another inning due to a "twinge"? Probably the same people that have invested over 30 million dollars in him. Kerry got injury prone because he pitched through pain. If you want to say that he's injury prone, ok, i agree, but to say that he's soft because he's always hurt is ridiculous.

    The story about my great grandmother was as fictional as that dialogue you just wrote...here in Indiana there are plenty of mascots that are based off of white men such as the Andrean 59ers, Mishawaka Cavemen, Jimtown Jimmies, Floyd Central Highlanders, Plymouth Pilgrims....etc and not once has any discussion been had about replacing those. All have ridiculous mascots who dance around at games as well. Surely there are some relatives of those folks (well save for cavemen) who would be offended you say? I say NO because its A DANG SPORTS MASCOT Yeah, because the Pilgrims and the Redmen are the same thing. Give me a break.

    How many pitches has Nomar seen tonight?
  11. imb
    i really, really like David Wright.

    This is why I said that I would be in favor of letting the local indian groups decide for themselves. Maybe the Mississippi Choctaws are fine, but if the Indian people in Utah don't enjoy being a mascot, I say they shouldnt have to be.
  13. imb
    the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians don't seem to mind. I can't speak for natives in other necks of the woods but around here they don't care and I know a good many and am 1/16th myself. i think the mississippi band of choctaw indians is in the minority when it comes to native americans' stand on this Ahh...I see, the Choctaws don't count. And your statistics on this subject are where? I would be in favor of letting area indian governments decide on whether or not the schools should be able to keep these mascots. Just because the Mississippi Choctaws dont mind, doesnt mean that the Tahlequah Cherokee's enjoy the school here having a REDMAN for a mascot.
  14. imb
    how can we all not be in agreement that we probably shouldnt be making mascots out of races that we tried to kill off? Isnt that about the most degrading thing ever?
  15. imb
    well that didnt work good thing arrested development is on in 20 minutes.
  16. imb
    ump not really helping
  17. imb
    Unfortunately sitting on the bench hinders his development, as he still has some things to work on. If he's not going to get regular playing time, then he should be in AAA. He's only 22. His "develpment" will pickup where it left off when he becomes the Cubs everyday SS in 2006 (?) or beyond. Either he can play or he can't. There are guys who spend their entire career in the minors and never develop into ML quality. this is just ignorant - cedeno has things that need to be worked on, and without regular playing time, he will not be able to do that. he needs to be playing in the majors or be sent down to the minors. I love how you call me ignorant because my opinion differs with yours. That's the best way to get anyone to see your point Met 1-0 on cheap Beltran hit. :roll: I think he said it was ignorant because he feels that it is an ignorant opinion, not just because it's different than yours.

    Agreed. I got drilled in the face, except I actually got my hands on it(of course it still hit my face hard enough to bounce out for a corner). Didn't stop the nose from bleeding though. I almost tore my thumb off my left hand my senior year while playing keeper.

    Just curious. He was ice cold for April/May, warmed up a bit for June, and posted a red hot July. .390/.449/.590/1.040 His season numbers are .271/.333/.417/.749 which look pretty good after a few months of Everyday Neifi. Not to mention, after May, Furcal stood at .229/.292/.330/.622 Anyway, I really can't see him signing for less than 4/32, and if that's the case, I'd rather go with a Nomar 1 year-5 mil+Ronny situation. On the other hand, Atlanta probably won't resign him, and if enough owners are turned off by his cold start, he might come cheaper than expected.
  20. imb
    I say yes without looking at his stats, so give me a sec and I might change my mind. EDIT 3 or 4 more 300/400/500 30-100 seasons, and i think yes, he's in.
  21. imb
    I say he shocks everyone and goes in as a new jersey devil.
  22. imb
    What is the point of this? What are we going to do, get Roberts or Mora through waivers?
  23. imb
    Imagine if he hadnt channeled Ankiel for one start.
  24. imb
    Sammy didnt deserve the MVP in 98, and if the season ended today, Pujols wouldnt deserve the MVP. You cant hold Lee accountable for our pitching injuries/ineffectiveness.
  25. imb
    If the only thing between the Cubs and Giles is Murton, you sign Giles. If the only thing between the Cubs and Giles is the amount of years he wants, you keep Murton. Hey this is easy.
