  1. If they wind up with Berkman than they probably need to sign a RH hitter to platoon with him, unless Baker is going to do that.
  2. I don't think they should be ashamed of themselves. If they didn't think he should be in the hall then maybe they are wrong. But they shouldn't be affected by how much the guy wanted to be in the hall or his health.
  3. I think the problem is what is the cutoff? Is it all about record? That's unfair when teams can double up on weak divisions for opponents. Should a 12-4 wild card really get homefield over an 11-5 division winner? I think they could make something say you need 10 wins to host a playoff game. But that's difficult.
  4. They really meant it when they said 20 words or less.
  5. After soliciting MSU, Cecil may have come to the realization that he may not get a prominent school to pony up cash.....and that his actions were putting a great risk on whether or not his son would be able to prove he is NFL draft worthy. oh that's adorable. I'm not an apologist for Cecil Newton's actions. He's a slimeball. He risked his son's career for some quick cash. He sells 'Jesus will save you' while living by a different set of moral values. Each additional school he solicited would have increased exposure, however. He knew that. I'm not saying he didn't solicit AU, but I hope he didn't, and there is no proof, currently, to suggest he did. There is plenty of proof to suggest he did. There's just not enough proof to prove he did.
  6. I'm not sure why you would expect unanimous support of the Bears. They are only 3.5 point favorites. They were 3.5 point dogs last week and many people picked them. It's perfectly reasonable to pick the Lions in an upset this week. It's almost a classic trap game, if New England was an NFC team.
  7. I wasn't gonna go anyway.
  8. I am cheering for the Eagles because I have them in Survivor (facing off against a guy with the Bears), but as far as the Bears are concerned I'd have no problem cheering against them tonight. I want as many losses as possible between GB/PHI/NYG/TB/NO
  9. I'm not sure how $14m is steep in price. I don't really trust the metrics for 1B, but Dunn is 31 and needs to keep hitting at the same rate at age 31-34 plus be at least an average 1B for that to be a worthwhile deal. He's far from a slam dunk to be worth that dollar amount. Sure, he's not a consistent force. But the Cubs don't have options. They have to get better at 1B. The 4 years is more risky than $14m per year. They don't have anywhere near the pitching SF had to get away with mediocrity in the lineup, but that is exactly what their plan is.
  10. He's worse than replacement level. And despite possible anecdotal evidence that pitchers "like" throwing to him, there's absolutely no evidence that they do any better throwing to him, or that the team enjoys any upside whatsoever to him being in any game.
  11. Agreed. This organization is dumb. Offering arb to Hill is beyond dumb. No one else will, but Hendry will be surprised when he accepts. Read page 1, not that type of arb I see. I still wonder why though....I was under the impression that Hill was gone. People assumed it when Chirinos was added to the roster, but that was premature speculation. You can't get rid of the two most vocal clubhouse personalities in the same year (Theriot was the first).
  12. There's only so much you can do to prevent a guy from facing RHP. Baker was at 152/72 in terms of LHP/RHP plate appearances last season. Maybe they can do a little better next year, but probably not a lot. Especially if he has to start for any extended period.
  13. 14.01.3.3 reads: Unless said player is on a national title contender.
  14. How did anybody justify a vote for Korea?
  15. Just finished with ATL, GB, PHI, STL, NO, NYG, bear on outside at 10-6. This would suck. I think the Bears need the Giants to take a dive down the stretch. Their garbage win vs Jacksonville hurt.
  16. Just the threads where the insufferableness of jersey prolongs some tangential argument to display his powers of futility. You are terrific.
  17. If Cecil was turned down by MSU, then I think it's definitely possible he terminated this endeavor altogether. You don't think it's more likely he went to another school? Like when the first woman on the corner rebuffs your offer and you just move on to another?
  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o2kzX9T5FI As a father I find that I'm such a sucker for this sort of stuff nowadays.
  19. time to invest in the water taxi construction business.
  20. The 12 years thing is kind of unprecedented, right? Is it likely that they decided to do it this way because they knew they were going to Qatar and wanted to give them more time to build? What a waste to build all those stadia in a country with nobody to fill them.
  21. I can only assume that Clinton's half hearted presentation was because he knew damn well the USA stood no chance with the monarchs in charge.
  22. Hahaha. The youtube video won it.
  23. here comes the accountant? let's delay some more. I'm good at building drama not really winner is qatar
