    Do you have a link to your gut feeling? Link
  2. Derwood
    fixed

    i would prefer a young, cheap pitcher who has already proven himself somewhat at the big league level (a la Jered Weaver/Ervin Santana)

    First change I would expect from your lineup is that Pagan will be in CF, not Jones. Pretty much everybody on the lineup has a chance to be in the lineup now-Blanco, Izturis, or Ward all have decent shots of being in the lineup. yep, forgot about pagan. I think Lou will go with Floyd over Ward at first

    lineup guesses? 1. Soriano - LF 2. Theriot - SS 3. Murton - RF 4. Ramirez - 3B 5. Floyd - 1B 6. Barrett - C 7. DeRosa - 2B 8. Jones - CF

    he totally stole that from Felix Pie

    Keep signing huge paychecks without earning them? I wouldn't, but Kerry Wood. /ba dum chit!

    Asinine Game 4 Highlight Comment on ESPNews: "And so the Bulls win Game 4 and continue their quest to join the 19?? Maple Leafs, 2004 Boston Red Sox and whoever as the only teams to come back from 3 games down in a best of 7 series." Continue their quest? Wouldn't this START their quest? If they were continuing it, that would imply that they entered the series with the goal of losing the first 3 so that they could then attempt to come back from 3 down.

    right, i just thought he was born in the Netherlands proper

    In other words, people make this stupid disctinction all the time even though they are wrong, so the only right thing to do is keep doing it. Soriano and Sosa are both black. What they are not is african american. this is an unproductive statement. In my definition, I'm distinguishing people by ethnicity. in yours, you distinguish them by skin color. how is that helpful? So you're saying that Renteria is not black? Keep telling yourself that, but I'm pretty sure he's one of the blackest people ever. Does everyone agree that Andrew Jones is black? isn't his ancestry from Curacao Yes, he is the most famous player from Curacao. That's where he was born, but I don't think that's his ancestry. I can't find anything that confirms or denys that. I thought he was born in The Netherlands

    I think if you asked Soriano if he was black, he'd say no
  13. Derwood
    I HATE YOU CONOR JACKSON
  14. Derwood
    As it turns out, I'm far happier with Lilly and Marquis in the rotation than Wood/Prior this year

    In other words, people make this stupid disctinction all the time even though they are wrong, so the only right thing to do is keep doing it. Soriano and Sosa are both black. What they are not is african american. but as it pertains to this thread, they are not black. Jess Jackson/PUSH are in no way concerned about Latinos. They only care about african-americans, and, as such, don't count Sosa/Sorianot/etc. in their numbers
  17. Derwood
    In this country, "black" doesn't refer to a skin color, it refers to an ethnicity (ie those of african descent). A dark skinned latino is not black. Nor are dark skinned Spaniards, for example. Saying Soriano or Sosa are black simply because of their skin color is akin to saying someone like Chris Duhon isn't black because of theirs
  18. Derwood
    Actually, it does make them black. It just doesn't make them african-americans. This is one of the most nonsensical distinctions that I don't get. If a white guy from Germany was playing in the US, he's still a white guy, just like a white guy from Australia or one from England. White athletes from any country get lumped into the category or white athlete, but black athletes are categorized differently. It's stupid. if Soriano is black, so is Ozzie Guillen
  19. Derwood
    if the Brewers make the playoffs I'll pee on a Brewers fan
  20. Derwood
    um, Sosa, Soriano, etc. DON'T count if they mean African-Americans. Just because Sosa and company are dark skinned Latinos doesn't make them black
  21. Derwood
    don't forget his tremendous leaping ability
  22. Derwood
    i missed the game yesterday. what's the deal with Lee?
  23. Derwood
    i missed this weekend's series. So now he's sending everyone and they're getting pegged at home? Last week he held everyone up when they could have crabwalked home.
  24. Derwood
    I'm going to name my next band Lack of Blacks. It just rolls off the tongue
  25. Derwood
    He won't go anywhere. Yeah, I know. This is as far as we're going to get with him, I'm now convinced of that. Maybe an ECF appearance, but he is a terrible in-game adjuster. Agreed. Anyone else notice that during the 2nd half of game 3 that it was primarily just the starters playing, even though they were all about to collapse? yeah, i commented on it during the game. I don't think I saw Duhon, Griffin, Sweetney or Allen at all, and very few minutes from Tyrus and Thabo
