    To the pain

    That's probably an unnecessary overreaction. Really? Unless the tailor was in his or her very first day on the job, how do you misspell the name of a team that has been playing in the same city for the past 52 years now? It makes your team look bush league. So you want that locker room attendant to lose his probably very mediocre paying job for a misplaced letter on a uniform (something that happens every year to multiple teams) because it makes them look bush league even if they have several highly compensated players with guaranteed contracts who make bush league plays all season long?

    Not completely untradable, but his no trade rights make it virtually so. ](*,) forgot about that. while we're on the subject, what do y'all think will happen with lee after this season? i don't know if resigning a player his age is a great move, but there isn't a logical in-house replacement at this point. Maybe I'm making this up but it seems to me that Hendry's MO has been to extend guys in April/May, so perhaps that will happen here, otherwise I think he's still staying simply because of the complete lack of replacements and "good guy" status that Lee holds in the organization.

    Less talky more picky.

    Lee is every bit as good as he used to be. He only had that one standout monster season, and last year was probably his second best.

    In honor of NY lottery spokeswoman Yolanda Vega, the Giants take Rolando McClain.

    He is in the fairway.

    I wasn't really excited about the season until the morning of opening day, and the first inning. But the rest of the game, off day and then follow-up loss kind of took away the minimal excitement I had. I am looking forward to the summer more for playing with my daughter on the beach than anything else.

    7 guys tied at -2, including the previously mentioned plus Toms and Watson. Tiger tees off in about 1.5 hours, I read something about ESPN being able to air that live despite not going fully live until 4.

    Considering how bad he was last year, I think that Soto can be counted on to be at least as good as last year. Right, you could count on him to be a bit better, but better than awful doesn't make you a star.

    This team has been a bad hitting team for the better part of a decade. 2008 was the outlier season, but ever other year they were either mediocre or terrible. They have absolutely zero pre-prime or prime stars whom you could count on to be as good or better than last year. Their best hitters are old and/or physically questionable. On the other hand, for the past decade they have been mostly a good and sometimes great pitching team. I think it's quite possible the pitching will let them down this year, but there's at least as much reason to worry that the offense once again comes up short.

    Limited television coverage early on thanks to those crazy old southern blue bloods. But it's worth paying attention nonetheless. http://www.masters.com/en_US/about/schedule.html Langer and Marino are currently tied for the lead at -3.

    I'm sure he applauded at all the appropriate times too.

    $10m. Give him 2 years at the minimum of $400k, then a bump in his 3rd and his only and only free agent contract, at 30, would only have to be for $8m to match his MLB money. Obviously if he shows some more ability in baseball he can make more here, but I'm talking about if he continues to suck. Chicago won't exercise those options.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    no wonder chicago couldn't trade Brown, he reportedly just signed for 2/6m with the saints
  19. jersey cubs fan
    non-premium? pointless ranking.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    I doubt he would have to go through the draft, but that makes very little difference to the my point. He wouldn't sign a blockbuster free agent contract anyway. My point is he could get back into the sport.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    What constitutes "entering a draft"? Underage players have to declare, but I'm guessing any senior is just in it automatically.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think anyone is allowed to skip the draft. There have been people who didn't play college football who have been drafted and others who have signed as undrafted free agents. I don't know of anybody who's been able to come right off the street and sign as a free agent though. They could be out there, but I've never heard of it. If players could skip the draft I'd think more would as a means to get a bidding war started. Or guys who expect to go in the later round might skip it in order to have more flexibility in who they sign with. I don't know for sure, though. Except teams would just take them. Teams didn't waste a pick on him because they knew he had a big MLB contract that forbade playing football for several years.

He was already eligible for the draft and nobody took him, which should put him in the same situation as any undrafted free agent.

    they probably just accidentally posted the wrong lineup card.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think so.
