    It has been reported in many circles that every single major league clubhouse is more or less a segregated community, with latin players and american players the biggest seperation - and then obviously some black and asian guys. So it's not that hard to imagine that Ramirez and Zambrano head up some little latin group that has taken Castro under their wings, and maybe protected him from some stupid hazing nonsense. That probably would have happened if they were 10 games over.

    definitely burish but it would be funny if it was niemi or somebody like that who did it Well and there were tons of people in that locker room that normally wouldn't be...family members and such. And probably at least one gay person.

    I just thought the soccer thread was long as it is and it really doesn't need 200 more pages. Plus we'd probably get more casual fans coming into the World Cup thread vs. that huge soccer thread. If people don't want it, by all means delete it. The soccer thread has 350 pages since 2006, I doubt the WC would add that much more. But there's no harm in starting a new one.

    Through the entire playoffs, I've read more of the opposing teams message boards and newspapers than I have any other sites other than this one. I don't post or troll them, but I find reading their depression, (or defiant optimism) after their teams lose to be more fun to read than people freaking out over the Blackhawks when they lose a game or two, or don't play their best game every time out. And it's not just Blackhawks. I do that with every team I follow. Mostly during the playoffs. But also with the Bears during the regular season. Somehow it's healthier for my psyche. I always read opposition newspapers online. I don't get the notion that somebody might be wasting 5 seconds of their life to look at that stuff. After the first hour or so of listening, watching and reading about this win, we're all just seeing the same stuff repeated. But message boards? Ours are bad enough, I don't need to read what some other idiots think of stuff.

    During the whole Bradley ordeal, Ramirez was the calmest most rational one, with Soriano a close second. Then again, maybe they blamed all the white boys for selling out bradley like that. Not sure I follow the logic here. Ramirez being calm about Bradley really has nothing to do with this. I think that - if the report is true - he's doing it more because he's in a very bad place and very frustrated. He acted appropriately when many little bitch boys, namely theriot, were willing to squeel like pigs about how much they didn't approve of Bradley. He's been a steady force for several years and never any inkling of being a problem, but now that he's having a bad year every moron out there wants to hop on the Rozner bandwagon and rip the guy to shreds.

    They want the NY/NJ market, the largest in the country. How is that dumb? Not so sure its the largest college football market in the world though. You could argue UConn is a better pick than Rutgers. Not really. There are no UConn fans. Rutgers isn't huge, but it's bigger.

    Vitters pedestrian professional production and horrible K/BB rate is the problem. The Cubs have promoted him so aggressively that they don't have the same benefit of time. If he stays around AA much longer and doesn't improve significantly, his value will plummet. As things stand now he hasn't come close to playing well enough to be a big trade chip.

    That's why I buy it. Lou's behavior of late makes me think he's stopped caring. I don't know this of course; its supposition on my part based on the circumstances. I briefly saw a minute or two of the Cubs game yesterday....has Lou stopped shaving? The guy is totally losing it. Yeah, he looks like hell. That's what makes me think he's in "I don't give a f--k" mode. I'm pretty sure this is not the first time he's grown a playoff beard.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    because it's clear Ramirez spends all his practice time protecing Castro from plunger sodomy and other hazing gags.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Soriano is the only one that comes close to the type of hitter you're trying to describe. which doesn't bode well for vitters
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Cliff Floyd, really? As a 19 year old he took 45 walks in A ball. I don't think Vitters has 45 walks as a pro yet. His career IsoD was .070, Vitters is like .030.

    I think it's completely absurd but would be enjoyable for me from a personal standpoint.

    we'll get through this

    He was my least favorite player on the ice in game 3. I thought he was incredibly inconsistent and not nearly as productive given the risk factor his game includes.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    That makes it poorly constructed. It's not that they put a team of football players out there. It's just not good. They've got no studs, they've got multiple weak spots, they are fairly old in many spots and count on many guys with significant injury issues. It's basically the same team that won just 83 last year despite an an enormous payroll. That's poorly constructed. Winning a game or two more than you lose is not an accomplishment.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I'm not going to be concerned. Guys are going to be tradable for value. Being a stanley cup winner, with the former GM now in florida and potentially 2 assistant coaches working elsewhere, they can make this work.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    It would not have been an epic upset.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    It's not selling for the sake of selling, it's selling of the sake of getting better later. And I don't know how you can say they have plenty of room. They have an obscene amount of money tied up in the 2011 payroll, and are just going to be that much older, and that much past these guys primes. Sure, there's a chance they could comtend within the division, but that piss poor strategy is what doomed them during the MacPhail years.

    Miltonio Bradlirez?

    I think that's the real kicker. They were able to demand a lot the last time they figured out the BCS, but probably not anymore. again, why? you don't think ND has the same leverage with 4 superconferences (how these are made up, I still don't know, but that's another story) - why? what makes the situation so much different? Is the NCAA going to exclude all non-superconference teams from the title game? ND isn't what it used to be. The big conference's power has grown, while ND's has shrunk.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    first - your tv revenue numbers are just wrong. don't believe everything that you read (about both sides). the rest of that is just speculation. you're talking in definite statements when you have no idea how the BCS title game will work. I don't know how anyone could at this point, with the potential for such a huge shakeup. Sure, nobody knows for sure, at least us. But there's legitimate reasons for concern for ND. The uncertainty itself is a negative.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Or he picked up where Tracy left off.
