  1. we wouldnt have been able to trade prior for greene straight up. matt murton or felix pie would have had to be included. Ronny Cedeno as well.
  2. Felix Pie, Will Ohman (if we didnt trade him earlier this year), Chris Huseby, and someone like Jose Ceda.
  3. The hell? Someone blast that guys brain out.
  4. no one besides dextermorgan and jesseg. and anyone who thought that before they read this thread had their opinion meph'd and now they have seen the light on "The Natural" http://i.cnn.net/si/si_online/covers/images/2005/0829_large.jpg
  5. i dont post here because there are idiots. if that were all i wanted to do i could post at cubs.com
  6. i cannot endorse this idea. the nfl is lame, but the nba is the jose macias of american sports society.
  7. rich hill will be better when they're physically throwing baseballs to hitter, but zambrano will be the better player considering he's not clueless at the plate like hill is ala him being better than carpenter in 05
  8. i always knew schilling enjoyed eating wieners and playing everquest. in fact im sure this "injury" is more about him needing to level up his EQ characters more than baseball.
  9. but he'd still outproduce mike mussina
  10. wsi? white sox interactive. It's a cesspool. I'd avoid it. southsiders can use the internet? wow. one at a time You can all go to hell. im pretty sure we're all already there. heck we're cubs fans
  11. wsi? white sox interactive. It's a cesspool. I'd avoid it. southsiders can use the internet? wow.
  12. i do what i can to keep the discussions here exciting
  13. Use your indoor voice, Jesse. Ok im done arguing with Cubs fans.. I guess everyone was right when they said don't even try to argue with them because they think there always right.. Well im out of here... And if the Cubs fans were so smart how come they have no won a world series in 100 years? Thats pretty amazing... But nice talking with you guys.. I can see why this message board is a piece of ****... But its ok.. Good luck this year.. Playing for 2nd place should be fun (brewers). And I know the Pirates suck, but if we spend 100 million every off season we could buy this division also. Someone had a bad day. Seriously, you started it, and didn't help you case with personal attacks. yeah i know. my first responses to his comment about francoeur was so toned down and nice (even for the nicest users on the board they were nice) then he jumped on me.

And I know the Pirates suck, but if we spend 100 million every off season we could buy this division also. since when do cub fans make decisions? i think we all would be the first to admit that most cub fans are idiots. however, our little clique (well part of it) is not. every fan base has its fair share of retards and smart people. to lump everyone in the same category is pretty [expletive].
  15. hey go make some stuff up again please.
  16. Your right.. Numbers mean everything.. Have you seen the way you figure out NFL quarterback ratings? So that is a good way to judge a quarterback? Just because im not sitting here arguing numbers does not mean I am wrong..... it just means im not that big of a ---SOAPDROPPING--- idiot to argue with a bunch of Cubs fans who... by the way KNOW EVERYTHING Ironically, you've sat here and argued with us for about an hour. So I guess you are pretty big on the whole arguing thing. The difference is that QB ratings aren't scientifically developed and tested. They don't check the accuracy of them. Generally the most important thing for QBs is completion percentage (and for pass defense in general as well).
  17. We're not saying you're entirely wrong, you just haven't provided the strongest arguement. im saying hes entirely wrong.
  18. Wow very good 3rd grade comeback... Did you pick that up from the Kids you teach? No. They're a little sharper than that. For example they know the correct forms of they're, their, and there. Most of them know the difference between quite and quiet too. Ha im right, and because im not a good typer that means I don't know anything about baseball.. you guys are AMAZING...I want to be JUST LIKE YOU GUYS. Do you think I could meet you guys and get your autographs? Because that would be cool. And maybe I could take a couple video's to show my kids... I dunno just a thought. You've bred? Oh my god. Nah. It's just a scripted comeback he found somewhere.

Most of them know the difference between quite and quiet too. How about your and you're? and its and it's? to be fair, this is a message board. i generally omit capitalizations and punctuations except periods. no commas or apostrophes

  21. hes going to get 15-20 HRs minimum and 40-50 doubles. give him a .300 BA (pretty likely) and 70-80 walks (pretty likely) that makes him comparable to JD Drew in 2006..which was a .300 EqA. and Fred Lynn (career .297 EqA). He has not hit once in MLB and you just say all this will happen.. Amazing... Im not saying he's going to hit that. I'm saying it's the most likely line of production from him. There's a difference. A lot of the arguments here remind me of the arguments that go on at online poker tables, but with less cursing. do you even want to play me in poker ;)
  22. hes going to get 15-20 HRs minimum and 40-50 doubles. give him a .300 BA (pretty likely) and 70-80 walks (pretty likely) that makes him comparable to JD Drew in 2006..which was a .300 EqA. and Fred Lynn (career .297 EqA). If he hits 15 HR, 40 2B and 70 BB he probably doesn't even need to AVG .300 to EqA at about .300. Probably not. Anyways his last few seasons translated Year JPB --> MLB 2002 .311 --> .289 2003 .322 --> .299 2004 .305 --> .283 2005 .323 --> .301 2006 .350 --> .326 2007 .317 --> .294 For the even more interested, Kazuo Matsui: 1998 .287 --> .267 1999 .295 --> .274 2000 .295 --> .275 2001 .293 --> .273 2002 .316 --> .294 2003 .298 --> .277 Hideki Matsui 1998 .316 --> .294 1999 .326 --> .303 2000 .334 --> .311 2001 .332 --> .309 2002 .341 --> .317 Note: 50 HR season 2003 .279 2004 .316 2005 .305 2006 .310 2007 .301 Iwamura's EqA in Japan was almost always around .300 and always translated to the .280-.284 range. Guess what his EqA was? .284. Iwamura Kenji's EqA was usually around .290-.295 in Japan with the notable exception of his career mvp season. That translates to the mid .270s....his EqA in the us is .275.
