I hope it malfunctions and burns the stadium to the ground. I hope it malfunctions and they can't turn it off. That would be fantastic. Though either of these is fine with me. The Marlins are an abomination.
-
Glad he's their problem now. In all seriousness, he's not a good GM but he is a pretty likable guy so glad to see he got a job somewhere.
-
Was there a reason to bump this thread? He signed a one year deal with the Rays two weeks ago
-
He's been a quietly decent lefty reliever for some time now. He could be an effective LOOGY or he could be insurance in case of injury. I've got no problem with this.
-
:roll: Should've realized arguing with know-it-alls on the internet goes nowhere. Enjoy your party
-
He was a football coach, not a messiah (which yes, I know some PSU people would have you believe). What happened sucked but really? He didn't rape kids and it's hard to put yourself in that kinda situation and say you would have acted immaculately.
-
Yes, it is too bad. He had a terrible lapse in judgment. Doesn't mean anyone should be happy he's dead. Never said I was happy he's dead. The thing that bugs me now is how everyone is canonizing St. JoePa as the greatest man who ever lived. Holy hyperbole
-
He did? He went to the AD, which is not the same as going to the police. How a "good man" could live with himself knowing what he was allowing to continue, I have no idea. He went to the campus police, which actually has more power than most college campus police corps. And Sandusky had been off his staff for three years at that point. He wasn't keeping tabs on him to know if he was on campus or not. Were people not actually paying attention to this story or just believing what ESPN told them to believe? As Derwood said, you can feel how you want about it, but don't wish ill on a man who just passed away. He wasn't a child rapist.
-
The Sox are now going into the season with Mike Aviles and Nick Punto platooning at short. Woof.
-
A good coach and a good man (I don't care what the smart@sses, say, he was a good guy and he did actually go to the police). He'll be missed.

Trading Soriano
Post Count Padder replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
As much as I'd rather trade Soriano, it sees like at that price they'd have more interest in trading for Byrd. That's a lot of money to eat, but if it gets us a better prospect (and helps facilitate a Garza deal for Turner and more) then I think I'd be ok with it. -
So he took one year, 10 mil after a bad year, then had a better season and took another one year pact for even less money. Are we sure Boras is still his agent?

Trading Soriano
Post Count Padder replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Would trading Soriano and picking up that much salary in a deal with the Yanks, perhaps for Hughes be a likely option? Taking Hughes back, we'd have to pick up 16 mil per year of Sori's contract to make it worth their while. And at that point, is it worth it for us? They might insist on taking Burnett back. And as Rob said, they have Andruw Jones. I guess they're not keen on making him DH. Would be smart for them to just find a cheap platoon partner for him and be done with it. -
Cubs announce LED board and patio in RF bleachers for 2012
Post Count Padder replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I like it. Could be a cool feature. -
Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips, Grady Sizemore for Bartolo Colon
-
Hey if they think they can be, who are we to stop them from selling the farm for Garza?
-
I guess the Yanks realized how bad their rotation was gonna be this year. Big night for them.
-
rizzo is far from a sure thing. i like him, but i can easily see him being a bust. i definitely don't view him as a sure thing where you don't consider fielder if his price comes down. I just have all the same concerns as everyone with his weight and below-average defense. If he'd take a 2-3 year deal I wouldn't be against it, but I can't see him going for that. One of my friends guessed Fielder goes to the Yankees now since they traded away their DH, but I don't see it happening since they want to be under the luxury tax for a change.
-
Rizzo is gonna be our first baseman. If Fielder wants a one-year deal (which he won't since he turned that down from the Brewers), then maybe there's a chance.

Pineda for Montero?
Post Count Padder replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
This was ion the Misc FA thread but probably deserves its own. Big trade for both teams. Yankees need pitching badly, and the Mariners' crop of good young hitters keeps growing. There are supposedly more players involved. -
Glad to have Kerry back. Definitely one of my favorite Cubs. We need help in the pen, even if it is a "rebuilding" year.
-
Kevin Goldstein adds via Twitter that he has no idea who it is, but every prospect in their system was on the table at or point. Sounds interesting. Rumblings that it's Michael Pineda to the Yanks for Montero
-
I'd have to assume somebody is getting traded, be it Garza or Soriano. At least we won't have any rotation depth issues this year. It'll be nice not seeing Casey Coleman trotted out every 5th day for two months.

Trading Soriano
Post Count Padder replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I know, it's Rogers. And it's just speculation I think the FO would prefer a young arm, ala Z for Volstad, but what would the reaction here be if this came to fruition? Is there anyone to buy lower on than Roberts? If he has a revival, he'd be good trade bait.
