  1. The fact that he wasn't taken in this first round only indicates that the people who made the picks didn't think he was worthy of the pick they had, not that "no one here thinks he is a first round." Personally I think he's a step below Mayo. i don't think he's the best LB in the country. i don't even know where the "experts" rank him. having watched him play for 4 years, I think he was very good, but maybe not a 1st rounder. He broke Paul Poszluzny's tackles record at PSU, but he seems to lack the intensity that Paul has. I fear he'll be drafted in the early 2nd round and spend a few years on special teams
  2. whew, at least I wasnt the only one to notice the mispellings that existed on top of the dreadful grammar. props to the wolfman irony
  3. so no one here thinks Dan Connor is a first rounder, eh?
  4. I'm as frustrated as anyone with Pie, but he is never going to adapt without real game, MLB experience. taking swings in a cage or knocking the cover off of 70 mph fastballs in BP will do nothing for him. are there any recently retired ML pitchers who the Cubs can bring in to just throw a steady diet of breaking stuff at Pie every day before BP?
  5. you are all going to be SO pissed when they call up Murton but start DeRosa/Johnson every day.
  6. I'd rather keep Murton in AAA playing every day than have him ride the pine in Wrigley
  7. at least Soriano takes his job seriously enough to not play cute in the outfield on routine fly balls
  8. That is so unbelievably untrue. while hyperbolic, i stand by the sentiment of my statement. Felix couldn't hit a ball with an oar up there today. he was flailing at everything. it was borderline painful to watch
  9. the Felix=Corey comparisons are ludicrous Corey never had a night at the plate as god awful as Felix's
  10. i hope he did hurt himself hopping. maybe he'll never do it again
  11. the next CBA for the NBA will probably have Stern pushing that issue
  12. this was the first forum name change in over 3 years. I still think this should be called the YankeesRedSoxBlueJaysRaysOriolesWhiteSoxTigersRoyalsTwinsIndiansA'sRangersMarinersAngelsMetsBravesPhilliesMarlinsNationalsAstrosRedsBrewersPiratesCardinalsRockiesDodgersGiantsPadresDiamondBacks Forum
  13. any other manager would not have left their young ace in a game for 140 pitches with an 8 run lead
  14. Me too. I doubt there was a bigger Patterson supporter on here when he was a cub. I dunno, there was that one REALLY fat guy. I remember him: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/edstevensiscool/4234.jpg yay! i miss that little guy. little?

  16. ? i figured as long as we were talking about nonsense....
  17. nor will Pete Rose's hits record or Cy Young's win record
  18. i prefer players with retangibles
  19. i'm a disappointing 4-6 after getting swept in the offensive categories this week. It sucks that we weren't going in Week 1, where Kosuke and McLouth's hot weeks would have gotten me more wins
  20. Jason Kidd is 6'4". Rose (6'3") is taller than Iverson (6'0") though. didn't realize Kidd was that tall. he and Nash always look shorter to me. I knew AI was short though
  21. For the first time in five years, we owe the government money. I'm not pleased. you've got kids and a house. if you owe money, you're not doing something right
  22. isn't Rose a lot taller than AI/Kidd though?
  23. http://www.vaguespace.net/photos/uncategorized/p1_baker_getty.jpg
  24. Wow. That lawsuit would be thrown out of court, faster then an ARod at bat in the playoffs. I don't get it. A-Rod in the postseason: .279/.361/.483/.844 OMG AUTOMATIC OUT LOL
  25. so the Reds/Pirates game was on my EI last night. Maybe two blacked out teams negate each other into a non-blacked out game. or, maybe MLB had monkeys throwing feces at a yes/no chart for day-to-day blackouts
