  1. majors only. we had the Cardinals Short-A affiliate here last year and I went to a lot of games. They're a Pirates affiliate now and I still go. The odds of Short-A players making the majors with the team that drafted them is pretty low
  2. Dear Jim, Your OF is now set for the next four years. Repeat after me: Soriano-Pie-Fukodome. Soriano-Pie-Fukodome. Do NOT tinker. Do NOT decide you need some random tool set. Get a better SS and walk away. Sincerely, Cubs Fans
  3. Yikes - If I learned anything in Intro To Journalism (actually taught by someone who is a sportswriter for the daily herald) it's that things like this are mortal sins and make your paper look dumb. Hope your professor isn't this guy
  4. http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/fukodome.jpg Thats amazing. that's what you can do with Windows Vista. I know, i can barely believe it myself

  6. Bulls were shooting 39.8% on the year coming in. That is beyond ugly. Maybe tonight will get them going offensively. 7-12 is not good, but once again, they're climbing out of the early hole they dug for themselves
  7. against the spread? oh hell no... considering that you're supposed to have a 50% chance of picking a game right against the spread, the chances of picking every game of a full NFL slate correctly ATS is about 1 in 65,000. Most favorites won this week, and I was also able to pick the upsets that did happen (Giants over Eagles, Houston over Tampa) and the pick 'em game (SD over Tenn). When picking NFL games it's tough to go perfect because there's a lot of parity in the league, and the difference between the good and bad teams is not nearly as large as it is in I-A college football. The parity that has created a 13-0, 12-1, two 11-2, four 3-10 and an 0-13 team this year?
  8. Bulls put 67 point on Seattle.....in the first half!
  9. I see what you did there. (For the record, I was going to post that in Japanese, but apparently the best translation Babelfish could do was "I look at that thing there." :-k) ?? interesting story: after skipping 1/3 of my semester, I wrote a term paper and translated it entirely through bablefish for my german class. got me a C. awesome. i didn't even use bablefish. i used some random translator i found on google
  10. In case he's reading: Fukodome はカブスと、今日署名する!
  11. aren't things that grow on trees, by definition, average? and wouldn't math say that half of the major league SS's are above average, in which case, they are as common as below average SS's?
  12. spring training is a lousy way to determine who deserves the starting job
  13. It is? my fault, 7:30am now SmarterChild: The time in Tokyo, Japan is Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 6:34:25 am. so they're 15 hours ahead of central time, not 16?
  14. why wouldn't those guys want to stay? Moss will get a huge deal (maybe the highest ever for a WR), and the Patriots have shown over and over again with players that they refuse to hand out those types of deals. That's why he's almost certainly gone after the year, and most Patriots fans knew that it would be a 1 year experiment one way or the other. Stallworth I think has a much larger chance of staying. No team is going to give him a monster deal, and the Patriots will want him to be one of their outside guys again next year. He stays unless some team blows him away with an offer, which is possible depending on the free agent class. if it's just about money, then yeah. but i can't imagine that Moss, after the success he's seeing this year, would take more money to go to a crappy team
  15. why wouldn't those guys want to stay?
  16. he's pretty rough as a fielder, no? How about we fill Meph's "japan quota" and get both?
  17. the Cubs have shown that they excel at bringing hitting prospects up too early, shattering their confidence with limited playing time, sending them on frequent trips back to AAA, and destroying their trade value. See: Corey Patterson, Kevin Orie....
  18. okay, so it's now 9:15am on wednesday morning in Japan. Hendry better be on the phone right now (getting measurements for K-Fu's uniform)
  19. i would prefer Pie at SS over Theriot. yes, i'm serious
