    I was at that game as well. It's really too bad. I really like Bill...good guy and very good player.

    Well if there's a trade, I'm gonna guess it's for Vernon Wells.
  3. Banedon
    That doesn't sound like someone that's going to trade Izturis to me.

    I definitely see the reasons why a letdown could be the case. But I'm not sure about #1 there...I don't know if people aren't taking this seriously. Miami was like 1-6 when we faced them. The Jets are 5-4...I don't know how you don't take a team seriously that is above .500 and just beat the Patriots.

    There's a guy at work trying to talk me into this being a let down game, and I just don't see it. First off it's a road game against a winning team. I don't know how you can let that be a let down game. Second, it's in the middle of the road trip that everyone has been looking at since the beginning of the season. Third, the Jets big win last week was against a conference opponent, and was coming off of a bye week. Coming off of a bye has been big for most teams this year, and the Jets may not have that same energy for this game. Lastly, the Bears had a huge wakeup call against Miami, and really found a groove in the 2nd half last week. They'll be in the same building, and should feel more comfortable with it. The Bears are perfect on the road so far this season, and I don't see that changing this week.

    Hendry is in a bad mood, and that's affecting his GM skills. If he was happy, he'd be doing a better job.
  7. Banedon
    Anyone think A-ram is questioning why he had to leave $30 million on the table for these guys?
  8. Banedon
    So Hendry created a hilariously expensive reliever market. Got it... :P
  9. Banedon
    Great news!
  10. Banedon
    The "I love our infield" comment is discouraging.
  11. Banedon
    Since both names are mentioned, I'm going to guess that Hendry wants Westbrook, and Cleveland is offering Lee.
  12. Banedon
    Mike North (as I'm sure everyone knows) is a moron. He was going on this morning about how $30 million wasn't a serious bid, and that everyone knew that the bid was going to be in the 45-50 million range....NOT UNTIL REPORTS AFTERWARDS MIKE! Man he ticks me off. Anyway, he's trying to say that the Cubs didn't make a serious effort and that Phil Rogers shouldn't be giving the Cubs any credit.
  13. Banedon
    ...wow. That's an insane amount. Can't be upset at the Cubs for not bidding that..

    We were already versatile with Cedeno, Izzy, and Theriot. Well, now they can lead the league in versatility. That should be good for 10 extra wins or so. :wink: only if DeRosa's ScrQ+ (Scrappiness Quotient Plus) is 517.4 or higher OMG! He could be the Look Again Player of the Year!!! :D
  15. Banedon
    This is why A-ram took a discount. So we could overpay Mark Derosa.
  16. Banedon
    Hey! We made the playoffs with Blauser!!! =P~ awesome, let's go get Jose Hernandez and Gary Gaetti then :D One-dog for CF!!!
  17. Banedon
    Hey! We made the playoffs with Blauser!!! =P~
  18. Banedon
    My hope is that he's just a primary bench guy...I know it's a lot of money for that, but we've thrown away money on lesser players (See Perez, Neifi).
  19. Banedon
    Gotta love how even the ESPN headline says "Derosa set to cash in on career year"
  20. Banedon
    Not too shockingly, ESPN's voting was pretty similar... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2660067

    Wikipedia has already added Hesters return to the "field goal" entry...I love wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_goal#Missed_Field_Goals

    Yeah, I obviously don't know a lot about Pirates ownership. :P

    This is a really interesting article about Lovie interviewing for the Giants head coaching job after Fassel got fired. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/story/470443p-395957c.html

    I don't anticipate a whole lot of trouble, but I didn't expect it with Miami either. I normally root against the Jets...I root against all NY teams generally, but the Jets have been pretty scrappy this year, and I've enjoyed watching them when I've seen them.

    Hard to say exactly, but here's a picture of Kevin McClatchy.... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Scroogeswim.jpg
