  1. The Cubs just lost their starting LF and Murton is the most logical man to replace him. But yeah, let's make gay jokes instead.
  2. At first glance, the white left sleeve of the guy above (is that Wayne Messmer?) looked like a KKK hood.
  3. I don't think that's true. There's a stigma is certain parts of our society, sports probably being one of them. But large sections of this society don't have any such stigma. In my media health class last semester we spent a good portion of the class focused on mental health. Research indicates overall, individuals with mental health issues are perceived much less favorably than "normal" individuals. This applied for the US and at least a few other countries where studies had been conducted. Yeah, but we're talking about going to seek professional help. If anything, our society probably applauds somebody that admits to a problem and seeks to "solve" it. But people don't seek professional help unless they feel they have something to solve. And I can't believe you don't think there's a stigma in our society associated with mental health issues regardless of whether you seek help. I didn't say I don't think there's a stigma with mental health issues. I said I don't think there's a stigma in our society for people going to seek help, which was the initial claim. Plus, our society is actually more of a bunch of different types of societies, each of whom have different views toward the issue.
  4. that is something i should have done long ago I feel your pain. I think I'm gonna pick up an R7 draw this weekend with my stimulus check. I played a scramble this weekend and the only thing I had going was my driver.
  5. Do share...I don't have a TV nearby. From the rough, pretty big distance, and he hit it about 2.5 feet, maybe. I believe it was a hybrid. Next shot was on though.
  6. Phil with a "stars, they are just like us" moment.
  7. and he still puts it in the rough
  8. You are not allowed to speak such ills. Rhetoric only please when discussing the blatantly abused Pie and Murton. It's not like Patterson is going to play LF or anything and lead-off, thereby filling the exact role as Soriano. Oh wait. Except there is no need for a leadoff role and Murton actually is a LF and Patterson is not.
  9. You're judging this off of 14 Major League at-bats? his name
  10. So, naturally, the best thing to do is throw him in LF in Chicago!! :banghead: :banghead: He'd probably be, at the very least, as good as DeRosa out there.
  11. I don't think Pie was ever in the discussion, nor do I necessarily think he should have been. The kid's been a mess since the demotion. It's hard to call people up when they are worthless in AAA.
  12. I don't think that's true. There's a stigma is certain parts of our society, sports probably being one of them. But large sections of this society don't have any such stigma.

  13. At least they got rid of the 13th pitcher. Over a week of that idea and only 12 guys have thrown, 3 of them less than 2 innings.
  14. He's been as close to horrible as you can get for a 1B. He's got middle infielder numbers - .263/.324/.450. One decent year at age 27, one passable year at 29. Coming off a bad year at 30 and so far as a 31 year old he's been awful. And again, we're talking 1B. His career splits against RHP only aren't even impressive.
  15. His third birdie puts Tiger at -1.
  16. First impression from that quote is he's just trying to up the price but will settle for far less than 1st round money.
  17. Interesting. Everybody stays the same except Lou gets his speedy lefty leadoff guy in left instead of Soriano, even if he's no left fielder.
  18. My only disappointment would be that their rationale was probably something like, Patterson has leadoff ability and speed, and that's what we need to fill Soriano's shoes.
  19. I don't think that's true. There's a stigma is certain parts of our society, sports probably being one of them. But large sections of this society don't have any such stigma.
  20. Maybe, but I don't think it hurts to get in touch with him. Also, I'm not as confident as some of you that it'll only be six weeks. He might be off the DL in six weeks, but I think that injury is going to linger and affect his bat. This isn't a wrist injury -- it's the hand, and very similar to Utley's last year. For further insight, here's what Will Carroll had to say on the injury: What constitutes Cub fans criticizing any certain player? We all did this? 5% did? 35%? What? I hate statements like that. And what constitutes Cubs fan being panicked? I'm not.
  21. That doesn't start until 1pm eastern.
  22. I'm to the point where I can't see us landing a legit #2 or better without including someone like Lee or Aramis (obviously not going to happen). There's a greater chance of someone from within stepping up and performing like a #2 by the end of the year than there is of us acquiring one. I hope Hendry serves me a big ol' dish of crow on this one. Most teams trading for a legit #2 starter have given up on 2008 and are looking to the future, so they would want young players or prospects. I believe you meant most teams trading away a legit #2.
  23. I don't see anyway how signings Bonds for 6 weeks could possibly work. If Soriano was out for the season, I think Bonds would like to play for the Cubs the rest of the way. But he's not going to agree to some short-term temp job.
