    john olerud approves

    maybe they think they can make more by selling the team and leasing the stadium to the new owner than by selling it outright

    the new banning technology in 3.0 is truly state of the art

    If by superstar you mean 30 points etc no he wont be. Deng can and will average 20-25 points 5-7 boards which is pretty damn good. You put Kobe on this team with Deng, and I think the 2 of them would work beautifully together. Dengs ability to slash to the basket would finally be used how it should. right. Kobe would be his "jordan" which would allow Deng to be fantastic in the "pippen" role. but we saw what pippen did with the team when jordan wasn't around (hint: nothing)

    you're still crying about this? when was i ever crying? just messing

    how about we have a live ump, but whenever his call differs from what QuesTec detects as a ball or strike, he gets a few volts of electricity pumped through his sack?

    blah blah, 3-man rotations, blah blah, 350 innings, blah blah, 50 complete games, blah blah Cy Young

    i'm not as high on Deng as some others are. I think you have to keep him, but he'll never be a superstar. if you want to make an analogy, he Deng might be Scottie Pippen, but until he has a Michael Jordan to play with him, he'll never lead the team anywhere

    i never did

    I couldn't disagree more. Do you really want to see the home ump eliminated in baseball? Maybe it's the conventionalist in me, but I'd absolutely hate to see the day when balls and strikes are called by some robot. The game is becoming less pure every year; adding "electronic verification", as you call it, would just make it worse. what could be less pure than a floating strike zone?

    two words: Open Bar That doesn't even begin to describe the full buffet and 74" plasma TV. :D it's so cute when you pretend to be a cool kid

    so we're looking at Z/Lilly/Hill/Marquis/Dempster right now. That's craptacular

    nothing was worse (for me) than Penn State losing to Iowa 6-4 a few years back

    i love the irony in the idea that "Second City Hoops is dead so I won't go there". And it's going to stop being dead how?

    So you're saying they are going to build a baseball field on top of the tower....pure genius! http://www.designverb.com/wp-content/images/2006/09/highesttennis07.jpg Hey, it worked for the Burj Al Arab in Dubai with a tennis court. Wow, Back...back, back and the ball....and the Outfielder are gone! Yeah, I don't see any serious fencing on that thing either. Gives me the willies just thinking about it. You better be *real* sure where the baseline is. Those skyscraper parachuters are probably salivating though. looks photoshopped to me It's real. then you get what you get for playing up in the wind with no fence

    if that team (in it's prime) had faced a team with a 6'6" receiver who ran a 4.3/40 they would poop their pants Ummm, huh? :D wow, FTH happened? I posted that in the Shula thread

    EDIT: I have no idea what happened here

    it is truly amazing how far Marshall's stock fell within the organization in the last few months. He was basically benched in September and is now getting ridden out of town. amazing

    There needs to be a reasonable limit. It shouldn't be necessary to block all of them just because a couple of posters don't keep them reasonably sized. If it was possible to block individual posters' avatars and sigs it might be different. does 3.0 allow you as moderators to resize avatars of people who go overboard? It will automatically shrink them. i know. what i'm asking is if you remove the auto-resize constraints from the avatars (like the old board), do the moderators then have a tool to go in and fix people's avatars if they take up half the screen? the point being that the old board had a few avatar size problems, but most people were good about it

    the gains made by trading marshall would have to be pretty substantial in order to offset how completely awful Dempster would be in the rotation
