Just out of curiosity, why do you say that? my guess is that they aren't doing well enough financially to throw that kind of cash around

don't mind earth2sean. he's trying REALLY hard to be IMB! recently

well get the tissues ready, because some tears are in your future

saying the 1-15 Dolphins and the 18-1 Patriots had the same year because neither won the Super Bowl is absurd

This guy keeps coming in here at random times and posting stuff like this as though he has some form of inside info. Does anybody know who he is? he is sean gallagher's dad right? nope

you'd be satisfied trading 7 players off the 40 man for 2? think about that You bet..You acquire Roberts and Fontenot and Cedeno are expendable. You acquire Crisp-where are Pie and Murton gonna play? Marshall is 5-7 starter now. Marquis has been on the market for months. Ceda and Gallagher are 3A pitchers this season anyway, because Hendry was silly and signed Lieber and Wood. so who are you going to use to fill those other 5 roster spots?

I bet you're happy. The Bears can't be his personal bitch anymore. except the part where he went 0-2 against them last year. How did the Bears do last season? You hang your hat on that 2-0 record in a "rivalry game" that none of the players really care about. i don't care at all about it, just pointing out a fact to the person who is trying to bash the Bears

is it just me, or does McGehee get a ton of spring PT every year?

anyone think Hendry listens to this and cringes? apparently Kenney doesn't understand the term "close to the vest"

maybe you should make your Keeper League pick first ;)

i don't want a sullen Crisp on this team I don't think he'd be a good influence on Pie as he'd want to play 150 games or so but I'm sure his injuries would reduce that to 110 or less. Since when do people care about clubhouse presence on this board? I thought that was a clear railing point. No, that's not what I'm referring to. Crisp has said he wants to play and he isn't interested in platooning. right. i don't think he's a bad guy, just saying that a guy who is demanding a trade because he wants to start isn't likely to be a great addition to a team that doesn't intend to start him

oh the irony.....rumors are back on Crisp and neither Meph nor Hoops are here anymore to slap fight about it

That's funny. he wasn't the best, but i liked him

as an exercise in boredom, the good/bad first round Big 10 running backs since 1990: 1990: Blair Thomas (bad), Darrell Thompson (bad) 1991: Jarrod Bunch (bad) 1992: Vaughn Dunbar (bad) 1993: Robert Smith (good) 1994: none 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (bad), Tyrone Wheatley (average) 1996: Tim Biakabatuka (bad), Eddie George (good) 1997: none 1998: Curtis Enis (bad) 1999: none 2000: Ron Dayne (average) 2001: Michael Bennett (bad) 2002: T.J. Duckett (average) 2003: Larry Johnson (good) 2004: Chris Perry (bad) 2005: none 2006: Laurence Maroney (good) 2007: none recap: 4 good, 3 average, 9 bad

Last night on Sports Central Kaplan asked that exact question and the Baltimore writer said he thought the O's would be happy to have Pie (not Murton) play LF for them. Pie's value is so much lower as a corner outfielder. Baltimore is dumb, but we already knew this

Well, that's how it works in the NCAA tournament also, just standard bracketing. Really, especially in this conference this year, there's little difference between even the 6 and the 11...well, 10 seeds. i like reseeding tournaments a la the NFL personally. that wouldn't work in the NCAA's, of course, due to the multiple locations of the first rounds

password is actually nsbb (all lower case), not NSBB either way, i'm Where's DePaul?

btw, anyone know what Tom Goodwin is up to these days?

i'm not sure why they'd want Pie unless they would plan to spin either Pie or Jones in another trade. why trade for two CF prospects in the same off season?

i'm not certain, but i think the tiebreaker in that case would be their record against the top four teams. basically, whoever has the better combined record against IU, PU, MSU and WISC. and does the #1 seed always face the 6 vs. 11 winner, or do they reorder so they play lowest surviving seed? The 1 seed always faces the 8-9 winner (which right now would be Michigan/Iowa). 2 seed faces 7/10 winner (PSU/Illinois), 3 seed faces 6/11 winner. Tiebreaker after head-to-head is record vs. best teams in the conference. So, it would be record vs. Wisconsin, then Purdue, then IU, then MSU, and on down. seems dumb that your 3 seed could potentially face the 11 seed while the 1 seed is facing the 8, but whatever
