I'd like him to also write an article about how horrible and sadistic meat companies are that he most likely buys his food from. On the subject of Chickens (and steer), pretty much all meat eating Americans have no moral high ground. God I sound like a PETa person. I've never understood this. Is there really a connection between eating animals and enjoying their pain and death? That would be like Ultimate Fighting fans being okay with cannibalism . . . okay, now I'm using extreme example. But do you see that point? Honestly, there's a disconnect between animal death and meat-eating -- I know this. It's a neccesity that has evolved. We feel better about it having not seen the death or presided over it. I can see the problem with that. But you're bringing morals into it. I think it's nothing more than squeamishness. Saying people who disagree with you are going off on some "moral high ground" can be a pretty easy way to seem like you're right. (not saying you aren't; i just want debate -- and that's a bad argument tactic.) And the "pretty much all meat-eating americans" . . . what's that mean? How are you qualifying those who are logically reconciling this paradox and those who aren't? I'm not even talking about eating them. The point I'm getting at is that before they are killed in whichever manner they are, many live in deplorable, pain and suffering inducing conditions. I honestly don't see the real disconnect between that and cockfighting. Hell, I'd even venture to guess some of those roosters live way better lives (up until the fight at least) than the majority of animals that get to wander through our meat processing industry. So to judge the situation from the American cultural view ends up seeming a bit asinine.

TY Bruce! Any updates on what Jim's up to?

I thought that was the joke.

They'd been looking at Marlon Byrd, but Texas isn't an easy organizaton with which to deal, either. That's the hardest thing for most people to grasp. To make a trade, you need to teams to have mutual interest, and even then, most trades don't go down for whatever reasons. I wouldn't be surprised if the Cubs tried to make a deal toward the end of spring training if this Roberts thing doesn't get done. I've always figured as much. Thanks!

Bruce, do you know of anything else the Cubs are looking at trade/player wise? Also, you're my hero. Again.

oh yeah, don't crosslink three domains. Just have a Bears and Bulls forum on this one and call it a day What he said.

that sound you hear is the reds signing another reliever lol whats next, a yo momma joke? Actually I'd probably go with another Reds suck joke. Cause, ya know, they do. No, seriously.

Just what is "hotty toddy" anyway?

Shoulda kicked the 49 yarder. 18-1

BEST ENDING EVER

NO WAY

I really hope the Pats lose by 3.

Per rotoworld. I pray this ends speculation regarding him. there is no speculation regarding. everyone knows we're not getting. it's just what we want. I'm aware thats the case for most people.

You guys think Cedeno could get some of the CF duty against tough Lefties? I have no idea if he's any good in center, but if he's serviceable, that would further the chance of Cedeno being a valuable member of the team. We have a huge hole @ SS, regardless of what our organization thinks about Theriot. I expect it will become apparent to even them if Theriot is given the starting job. I think thats rather obvious. Lou has shown no real signs of sticking with a crappy player when he has a better option floating around.

And it's pissing me off. Someone come talk draft with me while I'm bored at work during the week. Please. start a draft thread here or something, i'd love to. This idea is what my roommate would deem "tube" (short for tubular, don't ask). I'd be much more inclined to talk bears if it was here. Does the Bulls board even exist anymore?

What?

Welcome to the board.

I think having the D'Backs anywhere in the top 5 is vastly overrating that team.

Bakowned.

Did you order that from somewhere or buy it at a retailer? Because every week CubWorld says the item's expected to ship "this week" and I don't have it yet. :| The custom ones on MLB.com seem to only have white numbering on the back. I wish they would get the grey ones in Large and not just M and XXL.
