So am I. Are you also left-handed? Yes! Where's my contract?!

NLDS: LA Dodgers eliminate St Louis Cardinals 3-0
inari replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I don't care if who the Dodgers have on their team; how the hell can you root for the Cardinals?!? um...they are NOT playing the cubs they are a quality team being my dad's favorite team probably helps as well None of this makes it remotely okay to be rooting for the Cardinals. -

You must not be aware the team that they are playing is the St. Louis Cardinals. -
Man, I don't get it. Harden is the only thing resembling an ace we've got.

I'd like to add that I find it almost impossible to believe that the Cubs will trade Bradley and not pay some portion of his salary (and a large portion of it). Think about it this way: If "There is literally no way Bradley is back next year" Other teams GMs must know this to be true if it is so self evident Then, why would GM take on Bradley and pay all his salary? I suppose the only way for this to happen is an exchange of bad contracts, but then that puts the Cubs in the same situation, or worse. If more than one GM feels that Bradley is worth his salary, than they aren't going to stubbornly stick to paying very little of his contract and risk losing him to another team. I think that most GM's believe that Bradley is not worth that type of contract, but I think the Cubs will only end up having to pay a decent part of the contract and not the overwhelming majority of it. Or if the Cubs do pay an overwhelming majority (say if it's the Padres with the best offer who can't take on contracts) it will mean they get pretty decent talent coming back. I don't disagree, but I don't see how any GM wouldn't see this as an opportunity for a bargain. They all do, but they still have to bid against each other.

Am I the only one that didn't realize how solid his numbers were this year? 1.305 WHIP 3.64 ERA 31 GS 200 IP 172:65 K:BB He wasn't what he was last year, but I've heard people here talk about Ryan Dempster as one of the villains of 2009, particularly in the context of who gets booed at Wrigley. If he puts up numbers like this year throughout his contract, how could we seriously complain?
-
There is literally no way Bradley is back next year. We might as well talk about platooning Manny Ramirez. It's just as likely.

A couple of posters have expressed the same opinion as Bruce. but I still have my doubts. I think the "interest" in Bradley is based on two thoughts: 1. I can get him for next-to-nothing and Hendry will pay most of his contract. 2. I can dump a really bad contract (worse than Bradley's) on the Cubs because the Cubs are desperate to get rid of him. If Hendry can pull off another bit of Todd Hundley magic, he ought to be picked executive of the year. I mean, every reputable source disagrees with you. There is literally nothing to indicate you're right on this. In fact, there's a lot of evidence to indicate you're wrong. But you keep saying it. But I've already tried arguing this three times, so I think I'll just stop here.

I'm as excited for this upcoming game as I've been for any Iowa game in quite a while. If we win this, we're in the top ten.

Week 4 - Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, 12 PM FOX
inari replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Done and done. Robbie Gould field goal would've been ideal, but as long as it's not Forte. I'm glad Lovie is considering my needs. -
Week 4 - Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, 12 PM FOX
inari replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Keep that ball out of Forte's hands. My fantasy team depends on it. -
Same here. Makes up for the 12 spot drop through the first 3 games. Yes. That's how I'm going to justify it too.
-
Is there anywhere to watch the Blackhawks online (live and/or replays)? I'm at work and it's slow. I missed the game today, don't even know who won so it's a perfect opportunity to watch it. Never mind. Should've just checked NHL.com. Too bad it costs money. And that I couldn't find it without seeing that the Hawks won.

God you're making me hungry. I haven't had good jambalya in years.

The way this season has gone I could see us lighting up Michigan. I have a different feeling after I did after the UNI game. UNI looked better than us that day. Today we really looked overconfident and we almost beat ourselves. I really wish Stanzi was better though. I feel pretty much the same way. Today we were overconfident coming in and it only got magnified after getting up 14-0. UNI flat out outplayed us and should have won.
-
Man, that was rough. Iowa is a much better team than that. Here's to hoping we're 6-0 after next week.
-
Iowa either wins and drops down a few or loses and should drop back out.
-
Jesus Christ Iowa looks terrible.
-
Alright, the standard for ASU PI has been established. Players must be dragged down to the ground by their collar. Awesome!
-
Things are looking good now though. Or not. We're still gonna win, but I'd like to get this gap widened.
-
Things are looking good now though. Still, we've had a PI called that wasn't as bad as two instances that weren't called on ASU.
-
Jesus Christ, apparently Iowa can be called for pass interference but Arkansas State is immune.
-
I thought there might be a time at some point in my life where Iowa didn't play to the level of their competition every single game. Guess I was wrong.
