  1. i am amazed that you really think that if soriano was a FA at the end of this season, he would not get a contract that exceeded 1.6 mil.
  2. only if these are really big hands.
  3. They wouldn't want to pay anything. The question is would they take him period if they had to pay only the league minimum? I'm sure some teams would, but only one that (a) an American league team and (b) had zero better options now or for the forseable future. that's absurd. you're saying ZERO national league teams (and most american league teams) would take him for $400,000 a year right now? ZERO. That's what I'm saying. B/c it wouldn't just be for this year it would be for the remainder of his contract. right. and you're saying NO team would give him a 4 year/$1.6 mil contract. and you're absolutely wrong.
  4. seems to me he's bounced back since last year and thus not trending in the wrong direction. Let's wait until this year is over before we make that distinction. ok, we'll see if he finishes below 0.0 this year.

  7. i mean if you ignore 2007, 2008 and what he's done so far in 2010, soriano has been terrible as a cub.
  8. in what will certainly be complete jinx, i wanted to point out that josh johnson has an era of 0.26 in five starts since i traded for him. ONE run in 35 innings...ONE!
  9. i don't think anyone has ever said he's a defensive liability. i think morons assume he must be bad defensively since he's good offensively. every team has an "offensive catcher" and a "defensive catcher," therefore soto is the offensive one and hill is the defensive one (even though hill isn't anything special defensively...way to chicken out and not turn the game-ending DP last night, "defensive catcher").
  10. kid rodelo should not get morrow's points from tonight. he picked him up midweek as a free agent.
  11. obviously you don't know what the latin kings are capable of. they spray painted the [expletive] out my town when i was growing up.
  12. where is hardcore to weigh in on this?
  13. by the way, thank goodness the cubs got rid of that ahole. sure fixed the [expletive] out of this team.
  14. big blow to the 2011 emerald bowl.
  15. seriously maybe my favorite sentence i've ever read here. which tv market would you rather have...now hear me out...your choices are a) ames, iowa and b) dallas + houston + austin + san antonio + i don't know, mexico city. keep in mind how effing sweet an iowa/iowa state rivalry would be though before making your decision.
  16. It's not even really that popular outside of Ames. oh bull [expletive]. i love when hawkeye fans act like they're above the iowa/isu game.
  17. any good D2 conferences iowa state can join?
  18. i seriously just stuck wolf in there at 4:30 today. danks will probably throw a no-hitter tomorrow. i [expletive] hate the cubs. they'll lose every other game the rest of the week, i'm sure.
  19. and the fla/phi rainout costs me double starts from johnson next week. and in a stunning [expletive] development, i get to face double starts from johan and sabathia next week.
  20. lol, why the [expletive] would you even start masterson against the red sox? FOUR shutouts against me in the last three weeks. [expletive] ridiculous.
  21. does anyone really give a [expletive] about the record for most k's in a debut or whatever? that's some kind of milestone you want to risk injury to go after?
  22. yeah, i should have kept him over bailey.
  23. is putting casto's name in there with those guys supposed to be sarcasm or is there like a billy castro that is tearing up AA for the mets or something?
  24. at least i traded for johnson instead of greinke or felix, i guess.
  25. three motherfucking cocksucking weeks in a row i've had a shutout thrown against me. [expletive] ridiculous.
