  1. Dear teams that don't suck, The amazing Asian baseballer that just crushed a HR off the back-to-back Cy Young winner is available for the low low price of $29.99 plus shipping & handling. Love, Jimbo Hendry.
  2. Get Baker the [expletive] outta this game. GD, he is brutal out there.
  3. You can drive yourself mad looking at all the wasted draft picks and what could have been. I was surprised to see that the Cubs drafted Tim Lincecum in 2003, I think it was. Of course it was in something like the 48th round and he ended up being a first round draft pick a few years later.
  4. Which Prior are you taking about? Richard? Dammit. Just saw that he played his freshman year at Vandy before transferring to USC. :banghead:
  5. http://woodenspears.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/scottie_pippen.jpg
  6. He should hand out shirts that say "I did school for Derrick Rose".
  7. Have to build up that trade value.
  8. Don't let facts stand in the way of your posting. :thumbsup:
  9. I remember my dad teaching me the words to "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" and how we had fun singing it together at the games as a kid. It was a great moment. Hell, we sang it together 3 times in May when the Cubs came to Arlington and he is 79 and I am 37. Neither of us fit your supposed stereotype. That's a personal tradition not beholden to the Cubs. They weren't the first team to sing "Take Me Out...", they're not the only team to do so, and they're not the last. Harry wasn't the first announcer to do so and and he didn't even start it with the Cubs, so again I ask: what the hell is so "sacred" about it that he needs to be saved from the disrespect of celebrities showing up to sing it? He'll, you're making my point for me; so long as the crowd is singing it, who cares is conducting it? It's not some classic or exclusive tradition to the Cubs. Maybe some people are claiming it as a Cubs tradition, but I am not. I want them to end the "celebrity" singers because most of them are God awful. I'm sick of seeing a parade of idiots come through to promote whatever they are promoting when I am trying to watch a baseball game. Pick an announcer, it doesn't have to be Santo since you hate him like you hate Cubs fans, and let him do it every day. Hughes, Brenly, Kaspar, any of them. Just end this stupidity already. It's been over 12 years since Harry died.
  10. The Vikings.
  11. I remember my dad teaching me the words to "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" and how we had fun singing it together at the games as a kid. It was a great moment.

  12. Is Wale still unsigned?
  13. Starting to hear some rumors again about Texas A&M to the SEC. It all stems from the $20MM guarantee that Beebe made to us to keep us in the Big 12. Texas & OU said they would not take money from the other teams to get to the guarantee, but A&M officials said they expect Beebe to fulfill his promises to us. I think people are starting to realize that he wrote checks that he couldn't cover. I think we are going to ask for that guarantee in writing. If we don't get it, I expect our president to call up his new friend SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and talk about when the Aggies can start SEC play. Stay tuned for further developments.
  14. Need to start planning that road trip.
  15. Mike & Mike predicted 6-10 (Greenberg) and 5-11 (Golic) for the Bears this year.
