    I assumed since he was 21 in 1976 that it couldn't be him.

    Too windy? Pansies.

    Alas, no. The cap ceiling is a hard cap. You can't even violate it and pay a luxury tax (I think the Hawks would have done that to keep the team together). Think about that 180 turn from Bill Wirtz to Rocky Wirtz. I don't know why they went from no cap to a hard cap all at once. Something like Bird rules would have been nice, at least for the Blackhawks. The cap helped the Blackhawks leapfrog teams that used to spend at will. They were on their way up, but the parity brought on by the cap likely made it happen faster than it would have.

    Yes, they always have live coverage, and then more or less replay the round later in the afternoon.

    But PIM is always cited for the guys that have a lot of them. I think it might be largely a media thing, but it's definitely a thing.

    This is what is right about soccer

    He's probably pissed knowing there is a good chance he won't make the big club for salary cap reasons, and wants to beat up anybody who makes less than him.

    Seriously, what a cheap shot to begin with. Why is stuff like that going on in a team's camp? i have no idea, i watched another video of beach fighting brannon and no one really made any effort to break it up. maybe they see it as part of camp and the evaluation process, which would be idiotic. They definitely do, and talked about it not being uncommon to see a fight a day, or maybe more. I still think it's absurd that they talk about players with high penalty minutes in a positive light, given the importance of power plays. It's a very odd mindset. I see wanting your chippy guys to be a little chippy, but crosschecking from behind and fighting serves very little purpose. If a guy needs to learn to fight, he can do it during the season.

    How's Saltalamacchia working out for the Rangers? Not well, but Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus are doing very, very well. Casey Kotchman also has a .670 OPS as a 27-year-old first baseman for the Mariners right now. Yeah, Salty was the guy most media picked up on and he may have been the #1 target, but Andrus and Feliz are an incredible pair of young players. Was Wren the one that made this move or was it right before he took over? That trade happened in July of 2007, and according to BR.com, Wren was promoted to GM 10/11/2007.

    I watch most of these with the sound down, at least until late Saturday and late Sunday.

    When I first watched the NFL show he did on Sunday nights, I did not mind it. But I was probably 17 years old at the time. He has been this bad in baseball events for as long as I can remember him doing them. He's only annoyed me on that show in the last 3-4 years or so. Tom Jackson went downhill around the same time too. I just don't watch it anymore, and really haven't watched it much since I starting getting Sunday Ticket. Don't need to see the same highlights I've seen repeatedly all day long (but I'm usually always wasted by that time of night so I pass out).

    And that would be a mistake. You don't trade away guys because you think they are cancers. Trading away a cancer doesn't make the team better. You trade away a guy when you can get better value in terms of play on the field. But that is exactly what the Cubs would be doing by trading Lilly for the guys mentioned. And I disagree with trading him for those players, as they would not provide any value financially for the future of the Cubs or on the field (which I believe I already said). So, why are you disagreeing with me, when we obviously agree. Are you just in the mood to disagree? Wait a minute.....are you my wife? I'm just stating that there is no reason to qualify the statement "don't trade Lilly away for nothing".

    Only meatheads would have been all excited about that.

    Whey even make the trade? If that is all Hendry wants, the Mets would be morons not to make that trade. I hope Chris De Luca's just talking out of his arse. Not only will none of these guys help us in the near future, they will most likely never help this team. Unless Lilly has suddenly become a club house cancer, a Lilly trade for only the list of prospects above would be a terrible trade. Why "unless he has become a clubhouse cancer"? Why else would you trade him for nothing? You shouldn't trade him for nothing, regardless of some mythological cancer.

    I remember it being about the most important stat listed in the sports section.

    Who is going to provide these resources to build a new stadium? The Cubs, the city, or a combination of the two. Just like every other franchise that builds a new stadium and the Cubs have more cash than most. I know Illinois is broke as a joke but new stuff is going up all the time isn't it? The new wing of the Art Institute was designed by arguably the world's most famous living architect. I'm sure it can be done. The new stadium era ended when the real estate bubble popped. It is going to take a long time before that sort of funding becomes available again. Also, the type of architect that works on museums isn't building cash machines, which is all a baseball stadium is.

    Actually it's the opposite of that. We want criticism to come from an educated point of view instead of someone who just takes a quick glance and draws conclusion. So basically, jersey is Joe Morgan. If he knew a lot about the sport and still drew the same conclusion, I'd listen. Screw you. All I did was defend somebody who made criticisms against your arrogant BS. I never once pretended to know more about the sport than anybody else (criteria number 1 for comparing somebody to Joe Morgan).
  23. jersey cubs fan
    That's still ridiculous. Just because the person isn't as passionate/knowledgeable about the sport as you, you can then decide their opinion doens't matter? At least you aren't hiding your arrogance. People wouldn't be talking about what they'd like to see different if they didn't care about the sport at all. Stop taking criticism of a freaking sport so personally. I don't give a crap if a friend from London hates football. If they actually take the time to say something about what they don't like, other than, I just don't like it, then I take it as a sign that they've actually spent some time watching it and don't just dismiss it out of hand.

    http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_935wAgojuqw/SYp75VGZVzI/AAAAAAAAArM/VSHcXUseLrI/s400/86+topps+back.jpg But here's a Strawberry from the 80's with SLG. I vaguely remember seeing SLG, but not OBP, and that is the era when I collected cards. So it must have been on most I saw.

    Good question. This looks like a 1990 Sosa card with BA, G, AB, R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB http://keymancollectibles.com/baseballcards/images/wpe6c.jpg
