    Yeh, no relation though there can't be more than like 7 on the entire planet and 2 made it to the big leagues, that's crazy Quick search of Facebook shows over 500.

    He looks like the butch half of a lesbian couple.

    Good, this is how the entire game should be for this scrub Brad Thompson.

    Nice dig at the Cubs Joe Buck ... way to be objective.

    Nostradamus? Trust me, I wish it were otherwise. But I get a much different feeling from this team than the 08 team, and even the 07 team. Just when you thought they were going to shake out of their funk, the next thing you know they are below .500 again. There's just no swagger. Whereas the Cardinals have the look of a group of Kanye Wests. At least that's true of one player on the Cardinals.

    No ethnic slurs here. If I were a mod, you'd get a vacation.

    Yeah, some of them are dumber than a box of rocks.

    Ok. Your explanation makes sense, the rules are just vague on a trading scenario. FWIW, this is what Wikipedia says, and it does make sense.

    Yes. If the Cubs worked out a trade for Patton he'd be theirs without any type of restrictions. That would only be correct if Patton has passed through waivers. Otherwise another club can put in a waiver claim on Patton, and assume the Rule 5 restrictions themselves. So no, it's not accurate to say that the Cubs could flip a player to the Rox and then be free of the Rule 5 restrictions, UNLESS he's already passed through waivers. Do you have a link for that? Nothing I've seen indicates you have to pass the player through waivers to trade him. The purpose of the Rule 5 draft is to prevent teams from keeping good players in the minors when other teams are more than willing for them to play in the majors. If a Rule 5 player didn't have to pass waivers before being traded, what's to stop teams from drafting players during Rule 5 drafts and immediately flipping them in a trade, and therefore getting a player for nothing (ok, $10,000 or whatever it costs to draft)?

    It's not the second half yet. That's when Marquis usually implodes. I'm just mad cause the Rockies fleeced us. Luis freaking Vizcaino, give me a break.
  13. chuckywang
    WTF Marquis. 8 IP, 0 ER, first to 11 wins.
  14. chuckywang
    And he's hitting even better too!

    Wait, Blanco is out of options? I don't ever recall seeing him in a major league game before this year. A player can be out of options without ever having played a single day in the major leagues. But they have to be on the 40 man roster in order to be out of options, which means they are more than likely to make the team as a September callup.

    Games will be on VERSUS in HD.

    Patton is rule 5, do you think the Cubs will be willing to offer him back? I don't think they'll want to and I don't think it's likely, but I could see them doing it. If we really want to keep Patton that bad, but not in the bigs, cant we just make a deal with the Rockies? I doubt theyd ask for too much in return. Christ, we gave them their ace for Luis freaking Vizcaino. Marquis and ace makes my head explode.

    Pujols now has the line .336/.460/.748. Ridiculous stats. Such greatness knows no team.
  21. chuckywang
    LOL Z, you were his teammate and you still don't know how to pronounce McGehee's name.
  22. chuckywang
    It looked a little high, right?

    Since when has Arkansas been a 3rd rate school and the SEC a 2nd rate basketball conference?

    I recently heard on ESPN radio during one of their news breaks that former Chicago Bulls interim head coach Jim Boylan was being considered for the USC head coaching job. I did a double take, and when I looked it up online, it was actually Utah basketball coach Jim Boylen being considered. Keep up the good work, ESPN.

    There was no reason to keep throwing Fielder breakin balls right there. Just thrown him a fastball and challenge him to hit it I think he's shown the ability to hit it quite enough. but what would it hurt if he hit it 600 feet? we'll have to hear more complaining about Marmol?
